Hi, this is my first post to the board.

I am in my early 40's and have "no breasts". I know that some consider "A" Cups to be no breasts, but I barely make it to a 32AAA. I am pretty sure that I have that condition where I did not form right when growing, can't think of the name for it right now.

I a completely out of options when it comes to finding a bra that fits me "and" gives me some enhancement. Bra's these days are made as push-up bras and I cannot find a bra under a 34A. Push-up bras do not work on me because I have nothing to "push up" and they leave a very large gap at the top.

You can find bras in the kiddie section (training bras). Of course, a training bra on a woman does not quite cut it.

I am just so frustrated, I have spent quite a bit of money (wasted) ordering bras from the UK, which make bras for petities like me, but find myself very unappy when they arrive and while they do fit, they do not offer any "breast enhancement" in their bras.

I have also found a site here in the US that produces and hand makes bras which is supposed to give you the "affect" of a boob job. These failed also.

Lots of $$ down the drain.

Other info., I am 5'3" and weigh 95-100 lbs.

Any insights on what might be helpful for me. I am all ears.

Thanks so much.

I've copied this message into the breast measuring section, as there are several posts there about bras and bra sizes. You can find that section from the right hand list on the main menu (under reference pages).

Hi, Jazz! Finally, another woman that has my exact problem!

I am just like you. I have no breasts. There is absolutely nothing to hold a bra down. Most everything I have tried simply rides up over my nipples or is huge on me. I have another problem in that I can't stand to wear a bra, period, since the feeling of a tight band around my rib cage drives me crazy. With that said, I did wear a bra when I was nursing to hold the nursing pads in place, but that was the one and only time in my life I had any breast tissue at all. Now I am back to wearing nothing but I am fortunate in that I don't have to work out of the house so I don't need to look "presentable" on most days.

The ONE bra I have found that actually fits to some degree is in the preteen section at Target. Now don't laugh! They actually mold over my breast and give me a slight shape. They are the Exhilaration brand, found in the "girls" section. They even make them in 34-36 band width without the cups getting too big, so they actually fit my rib cage.

The ones I have tried have no underwire, although they do have an underwire style as well. That would only be more uncomfortable for me. The cup is very shallow but slightly molded to give a bit of shape. With that said, you have to be happy with just a slight roundness to your chest - not a big "boob" like most padded bras give.

Here is the URL from Target that shows some of the bras. I just pretend I am looking for a bra for my daughter! I usually wear a big jacket so they don't see "my" chest and know it is for me!!! Again - the ones without the underwire are the best unless you can stand something hard against your ribcage.

I had also found a bra at Fashion Bug one time that was the brand, Enchanted, that was a very soft, slightly molded cup that actually looked real and didn't ride up, but I can't seem to find the model any more. If I do I will let you know.

I know this Atlantis is a AA, but it is so gel-padded that I'm thinking it could work on AAA.

Good luck. I feel your pain.

Hi, I was wondering if it's possible for you to gain a few pounds at all? It would definitely give you more breast tissue to work with and at 5'3", 95lbs, i think you could gain a couple pounds and still be thin. My best friend Annie is 5'2" and she was about 10lbs under weight for years and this year she gained almost 10 lbs due to her birth control and her breasts ballooned to a full C cup from an A cup. The thing of it is, she looks great still, you can hardly see any weight gain and the attention she gets from guys is overwhelming, she has more shape but still no fat. I am not nearly as skinny as you, i'm 5'2", 107lbs and i have B's. If you're like me you probably can't stand the thought of gaining weight but it really does make a difference in your breasts. Three years ago I weighed 73 lbs from intense dieting and exercising. I never got asked out or had guys all over me like i do now. I don't know why guys like my body better now but they seriously do. My friends tease me all the time about the attention i get because it's everywhere i go. So if you can stand gaining a few pounds, i think that would be the best way to get bras that fit. I wear Victoria's Secret bras that push up and pad so my breasts look even bigger in proportion to my body. Good luck!
