- Hey everyone, my name's Hannah
and today I'm in my bra
because we're gonna be talking about bras and boobs.
You may or you may not have noticed
I have massive tits.
If you only watch my YouTube videos
you may not have noticed this
because we kind of cut it off about here.
But they are large.
I've done the odd underwear photo shoot
and been in my bra or bikini on the Internet before,
so I often get a lot of questions
about how I find bras to fit.
So this is what we are doing today.
This is your guide to bras for big boobies.
Big old boobies.
There are a lot of people out there with big boobs
and it is not all rainbows and sunshine.
It can be really tough.
I actually did a whole video, like a couple years ago
just me ranting about why it sucks to have big boobs.
And one of those reasons was because
bras are ridiculously expensive,
'cause you can't just like get some nice cute
small amount of fabric ones from the high street.
And it's really difficult to get ones that fit properly
in all of the places.
'Cause there's so many different things going on.
Feels very weird just to be wearing a watch
and the underwear, anyway.
So a bit about my history with my boobies.
I was about nine years old
when they started coming in.
I noticed a swelling of the nip.
By the time I got to secondary school, I was in bras
and those boys just loved to ping your bra
through your school shirt.
Rude, don't do that, how dare you?
Obviously I didn't have the confidence to say that
at the time, I'll just be like (giggles)
and then maybe cry.
I fully got to D and then double D status as a teenager.
It was a time.
Luckily, my mom also has massive knockers.
And so she showed me the ropes.
She was like, okay this is where we're gonna go shop.
This is what you need, et cetera, et cetera.
Now as an adult, my boobs only change size
with weight loss or weight gain.
And that's only been in the last like few years.
So I came off the pill and I gained loads of weight.
And so my boobs got bigger.
And then I got really ill, and lost loads of weight.
And now I've like kind of balanced out again
and have regained the healthy weight.
I've had many a bra shopping trips
in the last three years
because I have to keep getting new bras
because I don't fit into the old ones,
and then my boobs change sizes again.
And they're so expensive.
I went bra shopping recently because I had no bras
that fit me anymore.
And those bras I got were 28 double G.
So that is kind of roughly my current size.
This is what I'm wearing right now, it's 28 double G.
So 28 is the smallest back size that you can get.
Cup sizes go larger than double G.
But double G is still pretty big.
One thing that we should note before we go on
but most people who wear bras know this
is that when you go down a back size,
you go up a cup size.
So if I needed a bigger back size,
and wouldn't then get a 30 double G,
I would get a 30 G.
And that would like balance it out.
So here is my guide to finding the perfect fitting bra
if you, like me, have massive tits.
And I'm also gonna share with you
some of my trying on getting bras on hacks.
So the first thing that we need to accept
is there's no such thing as the perfect fitting bra.
I know, I'm sorry.
I lured you in on false pretences.
It's not gonna happen.
It's gonna like fit wrong in like one area
and you're just gonna be like whatever, it'll do
because it works in the other areas.
It's never perfect.
In my many years of having boobs,
I don't think I've ever found the perfect bra.
That's just a thing that we need to accept
and move on.
The other thing that we need to accept
is that our size may change
depending on the style of bra and the brand.
So I'm a 28 double G in this bra today
but I could be something entirely different
in a different style from a different brand.
Some of my favourite brands that I often gravitate towards
are Cleo, Panache, is it pronounced Panache?
Pananche?
I don't know.
And Freya.
Those are like three of my favourites,
but I just pick a bra that I like.
The pattern has been that it tends to be
from one of those three brands.
I pretty much always shop in Bravissimo
and Bravissimo like have their own branded bras
and they also stock loads of different brands
including those ones I just mentioned.
So if you're in the UK,
I don't know if Bravissimo are anywhere else
around the world but in the UK,
Bravissimo is like the place to go
if you've got big boobies.
But most of the brands, maybe even all of them
that they stock
will have their own websites as well.
Okay different styles.
So you got T-shirt bras, you got balconette bras,
you got plunge bras, you got full cup bras
and then some other ones that I don't really understand.
I tend to gravitate towards balconette bras.
I'm pretty sure that's what this one is.
It's basically like a half cup.
So a full cup, if I was wearing a full cup bra
it would come up to like here.
This is the top bit of my boob.
Like it would come up to here
and you'd be able to see it,
but a balconette is like cuts across the middle.
And then of course a whole different cattle of fish
are things like sports bras, strapless bras and bikinis.
I tend to get a sports bra in a bigger back
because they are designed to be so, so tight
because it's like industrial-strength.
I also prefer a wireless sports bra.
Just feels like a lot of real tight fabric
just pressing down.
It's like wearing a nappy on your top half.
Nappies are quite loose.
It's industrial support.
My main advice for trying on sports bras
is when you're trying it on, just jump around
and see how that feels.
To be honest with you, I've completely given up
on strapless bras.
I just can't anymore.
It's not worth it.
I just try and buy clothes
that don't require me to have a strapless bra.
Or I just have my bra straps on show.
C'est la vie.
I'm not gonna talk about bikinis here.
But if you would like a guide to bikinis for big boobs
then let me know in the comments
and maybe I'll make that as a separate video.
Okay, so we're gonna go through all of the different aspects
of the bra and how to make it fit perfectly,
perfectly.
It's never perfect.
So the cup.
You know if your cup size is too small
if it is giving you a double boob effect.
That's when it's digging into your skin
so that you've got a pair of tits up here
and also a pair of tits down here.
You don't want that, no, no, no, no, no.
You know if the cup size is too big
if there is just loads of space.
Like if you can fit your hand down your bra
with this like all of this extra fabric loosey-goosey.
You don't want that.
What you want is to be able to very gently
like run your finger along the inside of your bra.
You also don't want any spillage or excess material
in the sides, like a bit near your armpit.
I tend to find that area a bit tricky
and it depends on brands and styles of bras
with the way that they make it
and the angle in which they go up.
So I would experiment and look around that
if you find that you have trouble getting it to fit well
under your pits.
Let's talk about the back.
So the back is equally, maybe even more important,
in terms of support.
In terms of making sure you don't get back pain.
You don't have your knockers like jiggling around
and flopping you in the face.
The strap needs to fit flat along your back.
It shouldn't be like raising upwards
and arching slightly.
When you pull it away from your back,
you want it to have enough wiggle room,
wiggle room, wriggle room.
If you pull the strap away from your back,
you want it to give you roughly an inch.
When you're trying on bras,
put it on the loosest strap.
For years, I just put everything on the middle strap.
'Cause I was like, oh, it's just in the middle.
That's normal, 'cause it's average or whatever.
But no, put it on the loosest strap.
Because as your bra gets older,
you wear it a lot more,
it kind of has a bit more give in it,
it means that then you've got some wiggle room
to tighten it along the back
as it kind of stretches with its life.
All right, let's talk about wires.
Yes you can get bras for big boobies without wires.
They do them now.
It's wild.
You can get bralettes for big boobies.
I wouldn't wear them for support,
it's not for support,
but they do look again nice.
Day-to-day, everyday,
I wear bras with wires.
Oh also, I never wear padded bras.
You can get bras that are like for big cups
that still have pads in.
You want the wires to be sitting very neatly
underneath your bosom.
You don't want any boob spillage coming out of the bottom.
A good way to test this is raise your arms in the air
and see if any tit hangs out.
And the middle bit of your bra should rest against the skin
in between the boobs.
I say it should, it never does.
Please let me know in the comments
if you have ever found a bra
that fits super snug perfectly against your skin.
I don't think I've ever found one that does it.
This is the one area with me and bras
that I'm just like, I think this is impossible.
I think they're lying to us.
I don't think that you can actually achieve this
with a bra.
Mine are always like sticking out slightly,
no matter what I change.
The cup size, the back size,
it's just like, this ain't gonna happen.
But try, try and get it as close as you can.
Straps, straps, straps, straps.
These, you can tighten, you can loosen.
Make sure they're comfortable,
they're not like digging in too much.
Although we all know that the end of the day,
you take your bra off and you've just got marks
all over your skin.
There's nothing you can do about it.
You could wear bras that are too big for you,
but I like the support.
Anyway, do whatever is comfortable for you
because I've got a narrow back
and I've got quite a small frame.
'Cause I'm a very short person.
I tend to tighten mine quite a bit.
All right, it's time for my trying on
and putting on bra hacks.
If you, like me, have massive tits
then you are probably very used to
having three plus hooks
on the back of your bra.
This one, what's this one?
Oh, this one's just a two hook.
But another one of the bras that I've bought
on my recent shopping trip is a three hooker.
And I also have a bra that I think has five hooks?
It has like four or five hooks.
All of you people with small tits
and you just have your like one hooker, like what?
Five hooks?
So I've got a hack for you
in terms of putting it on around your back without looking
because I have managed to put on my five-hook bra
without looking at it.
So what you want to do
is you want to take the side
that has the hole in it
and you want to hold back the fabric
so that all that is showing is the hook.
So you're not gonna keep on hitting a bunch of fabric.
You're gonna get straight into the hole.
Any hole's a goal, no.
Not true, you wanna get it in the correct order.
So you go top to bottom.
I find top to bottom easiest.
You go (popping).
It's totally practise and trial and error,
but I believe in you.
My second hack for getting into your bra is bend over
when you try it on.
So that your boobs are just like hanging out
and then they just place themselves into the cups.
Bend over, jiggle them around
get your straps and your back done.
I don't know, I find it helps.
And then my last tip to make sure
that your boob is sitting comfortably in the bra,
it's nice and snug, in a good position
and this also helps with creating
a bit of voluptuous cleavage,
if that's what you're into,
is literally stick your hand down your bra,
grab the tit and pull it up.
You're welcome.
All right, so that is my guide to bras for big boobs
and now that I'm saying it,
all of these tips apply to you folks with small titties too.
Just get a bra that fits.
If you are still unsure about your size
and how to get one that fits,
then go to any shop that does like fittings.
Bravissimo, specifically, accommodate to people
with big boobs.
But then other stores do like go quite large
in their range.
The only reason why I don't shop there
is because they don't do the bigger cup sizes
with the small back.
So if you have a large back and large cup size,
then you might have more options of where you can go.
Thanks for watching.
I hope you learned something.
Please do give the video a thumbs up
if you enjoyed it.

or a memorable one.
