A MOTHER has shared her experience bra shopping for the first time after her breast augmentation.
She showed her followers the difficulty she had trying to find the correct cup size post-op.
In her video, Joy (@pinupjoy) shared her thoughts on each item from her try-on haul.
“I am about five and a half months post-surgery from my mommy makeover and today I had to check up with my surgeon,” the TikToker explained.
Joy revealed that her doctor gave her the go-ahead to buy her first post-surgery bras.
However, she soon found that her cup size measured differently depending on brand and style.
“The doctor said [I am a] smaller C, La Vie en Rose said 32C but that was so small,” Joy explained.
She described one of the bras from the store as “literally suffocating” while she said another “was really tight around my bust.”
Joy turned around while wearing one look to show her followers the tight fit of the band.
“I tried 34-36C and still tight but then the Ds were too big so [I’m] inbetween sizes,” she explained.
Joy visibly blinked back tears as she tried on the bras from the first store.
She decided to try Ardene’s, where she tried on items in a cup size 34C.
Joy revealed that she had more success in this store and “no tears were shed.”
“This was not too bad, I liked this way better than the other place,” she said as she showed viewers a white bra with black lace detailing.
“This one I did like and then I tried it on with my shirt and I was like ‘Hmm,'” Joy explained as she modeled a white bra.
“I loved this one, loved, loved, I got this one in white too,” she said, posing in a pink bra.
TikTok users took to the comments section to share their experiences bra shopping post-op.
“Measure yourself! I never trust the people at the stores. Once I measured my own size it made it so much better,” wrote one viewer.
“Do the online calculator to get your actual size. Life changing! I think you need a bigger cup size!” suggested another follower.
“They continue to fluff. My set of implants literally went from C to DD,” commented a third woman.
