[Whiney vent] Can't buy bras that fit!

[Heaven]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I hear you. Buying bras is a bloody mission.

I recently went around to all the shops in my area over a couple of weeks looking for new bras and found NONE!!!!!!! I have given up on maternity bras now and just bought normal ones in the closest size I could find

so I've just been through 3 pages of online maternity bra stockists and not 1 of them had a single 8C (except the Bonds ones which I find very uncomfortable and unflattering).

ETA - I give up. I'll just have to go braless for the rest of my life....

I can only shop online for bras these days. It takes a bit of getting used to, but it's way cheaper than going to the specialty shops and paying $150-$200 for one bra! I'm a US size 32H - I think about an AUS size 10H. Try finding that in a department store for $30!
There's a US online store that might help you out, Heather - it's called Breakout Bras, and they carry quite a pretty wide range. I believe you'd be looking for a 30C in US sizes. (google the shop and you should come up with it no problem.)
Hope you find something good soon! I hate poor fitting bras. Just makes everything you wear seem wrong.

Thanks ladies! I'll check out those sites when I can get on a pc next.

Bra shopping sucks!! I avoid it!!! As long as I can anyway

Heva, you said you are an 8C I think (Ive forgotten already, sorry) and the bra fitter said the 10C fit you in the cup . that would normally suggest looking for an 8D. If you think an 8D would work try bravissimo (UK) they have two bras in 8Ds. They are UK sizing, I think an 8 is 30 (an 18 is 40, they start at 28) and I have brought mostly from there for the last four years though Im the other end of the scale.
