So! You've been properly fitted and you've probably jumped up a few cups and down a few backs sizes, yes? YES. And with that revelation may come the discovery that your new size is hard to find in your old style, padded. Bra firms tend not to include padding or moulding* in cup sizes past a D/DD. You don't need anything extra, you got the goods already. But this is strange, right? At first, you may find yourself very self conscious of the soft cup. Because, yes, if the temperature drops quickly you need to check your own mountains for snow mounds.
I always fit customers into a soft cup bra because they can see themselves if they are filling the cup without any help from padding. I tend to get people to put their top back on so they can see the shape a soft cup affords you; no ghastly outline where the padding stops; no funny 'side boob' action going on under the arm.
Plus, SOFT CUPS ARE GOOD FOR YOUR BOOBS! It's true. I swear it. In a moulded/padded bra our boobs just rest, lazily on the padding. In a soft cup, however, the upper pectoral muscles get a work out and your boobs, over time will regain strength. Boobs sink. And that sucks. But they shouldn't start to head south until you're at least in your late thirties and even then you can minimise the droop with good soft cup bras. Child birth has a HUGE effect on your boobies so make sure to get fitted before and after breastfeeding so that the tissue doesn't lose any more of it's elasticity.
I have a few faves, the Simone Perele Celeste is my go to, as is the Freya Jolie and Arabella. Make sure the band is snug and that you are filling the cup comfortably. We're all lopsided. The left breast is always bigger than the right and common thought is that it's because our heart lies behind it (sweet, hey?). This imbalance can be fixed by adjusting the shoulder straps.
I noticed the difference within about six weeks.
So, to strengthen your fledging bosom, strap on a soft cup. They're prettier anyway ;)

*There is a distinct difference between padded and moulded. Padded gives you 'oomph' by way of having in-built chicken fillets alound the side and underside of your boobs. Moulded bras have a thin layer of padding across the whole cup.
