Yep, Handful Bras. That’s what I said.
After posting my interview with Heather “Long Boobs” McDonald a few weeks ago, and telling the world how I used to be able to breastfeed a baby behind my back, I was approached by Sonja at Handful Bras.
Handful Bras are sports bras designed to “flatter not flatten.” I got mine in the mail today. “The Girls” and I took a vote and decided hands down, that the bra does exactly that. I normally remove all the padding from bathing suits and sports bras because it tends to smash The Girls into unnatural directions, but I found that the removal padding in the Handful Bra was comfortable, practical AND flattering. CHA-CHING! In addition, the bra comes packaged in a mesh drawstring bag perfect for the washing machine.
If you would like to win your very own Handful Bra all you have to do is leave a comment in the comments section below explaining why your boobs are a Handful, or why you need a new sports bra! Sonja and her fab-a-lous team will be picking a winner in two weeks! (June 7th!)
(And I know you probably think that is me in the picture above, but really I’m more modest than that. My bra is white, but if I was to post a picture of me in a bra I would look exactly like that- only my bra would be white.)
So I thought I would join the fun of trying to win something!

Unfortunately my boobs aren't a handful cause I have so much of them but simple just barely a handful. LOL! I'm a mom with 2 little girls and am a believer that the little things (like wearing a nice bra) make a big difference in how we feel about ourselves. I recently just wore out my sports bra and have been meaning to get another one but if I can win this one then that would be even better!
My boobs are a major handful
….they used to be perky but 13 years and two kids later, they are not the same. I would love some kind of support as I am starting now to get back in shape for my kids sake. I can't have these bouncing around, so please help!
Okay! I need the "Handful Bra" and here's why…
#1. My 1st son was 9 pounds 4 ounces and only nursed off my left handful. Now, when it gets cold, one headlight points forward and the other due south.
#2 My twin boys weighed 6 pounds 14 ounces and 6 pounds 9 ounces. That's 13.5 pounds of baby. Left in it's wake are handfuls that sway in the wind.
# 3 You haven't lived until your stretchmarks go horizontally and vertically (see #2 above)
I would love to try the "handful bra" It would fit right into my life, where I always have my hands full!!!
Can I play the sympathy card? I am a single mother that breast fed as long as I could. I actually used to like my boobs. Now they can be compared to pilsbury biscuits. None of my bras fit! (And I used to work at Victoria's Secret- I KNOW how to find a bra that will fit!) Well…after having my BEAUTIFUL son, not so much! That being said, I would love to have the chance to try one of these bras. You could consider it a win, win. My boobs would be happy, and I have a big mouth- I would tell EVERYONE how awesome it is!
Scene: She lays the sympathy card down on the table. At the age of 32 I still have no children ( que violins softly playing in the backround) and don't know exactly when or if we will be blessed with one. After starting Auburn University, I noticed that I was the largest girl in each and every single class, maybe on the entire campus (que flash back of not fitting into desks in Parker- literally) I went to work and lost 70 lbs and was in the best shape of my entire life. Since graduating pharmacy school 3 years ago, the weight has slowly added on. Working 12-14 hour shifts with no breaks, no lunches ( unless you count gulping large amounts of whatever you can guilt someone into getting for you, while standing at your computer) no bath room break until hours after singing that all too familiar "gotta go, gotta go, gotta go right now, gotta go, gotta go, gotta go!" jingle from that annoying, yet effective, pharmaceutical commercial. I actually told a patient that I did not know where the bathroom was because I never got to use it! Following the weight loss, the girls were in pitiful shape. I went from a 40 DDD to a mere 32 B (only because I refused to buy a training bra and attend college) so let's just say that I couldn't (and still can't though I have larger
versions now) see if a headlight was out without the help of a strategically placed mirror and I don't mean one hanging directly in front of me, ok?) I am on the mend though and taking aerobics classes twice a week and walking my nephews six blocks one way to the park a few times a
week. I have lost over 10 lbs! I HATE my sports bras! Like Robin said, they flatten you out and make the girls look so odd. I would love to have some actual support and feel confident whilst dragging myself red faced and light headed through my neighborhood! If I die of cardiac arrest, at least the girls will look good while I'm lying down stretched across the pavement! What else could you ask for? Thanks!
I would love to win one because I am a mom that, while I breastfed for a little bit, I did not have enough boobs for them to become droopy. A sports bra that didn't flatten would be WONDERFUL as when I wear one now I pretty much look like a girl that has not hit puberty. Maybe the handful bra would leave my barely A's barely there as opposed to not there.
Ok, I have Double D's and wear a 34. It is almost impossible to find a 34DD that does not look like a Granny bra. The ladies need some positive feedback. HAHA
Oh my that bra looks super de duper comfortable!! My boobs are handful because 1. A few years ago I thought I wanted bigger boobs…so.. I did just that. Now, MOST of the time.. I wish I would have waited. 2.) I had a child almost 1 year ago and they are now out of control! 3.) I live overseas due to the military and they have really crummy bras to pick from on base and never have my size anyways! And I just started working out again, finally, and well…need some support for these babies!
I am in desperate need of a Handful Bra ASAP because I am currently breastfeeding baby number 3. I have recently started working out again and I am wearing not one but two sports bras to contain the girls! It's pretty ridiculous and my three year old told me I have too many straps!!! Please send one my way! – Mandy Garola
Three years ago I had abs, and great boobs. Then I was blessed with a 9 lb 13 oz daughter, and breastfed. This bra would help me look past my stretch marks, and lift my droopy D's off of my former abs. A new bra could replace the one I am wearing now, old with holes. Sexy times!
Oh please, oh please, oh please! Pick me! I am currently breastfeeding my third and the girls, well, they're hanging out a little farther south than they should be these days. I need a good sports bra. Trying to lose the baby weight is hard with the girls flopping around.
When reading, think 'Jump' by Van Halen- with my own interpretation.
I get up, and nothing gets me down. (not in my Handful!they are always UP)
i like to jump. and then go round and round (speaks for itself)
And I know, just how it feels.(you'll forget you're wearing it)
You've got to roll with the punches to get to what's real
Oh can't you see me standing here,
I'm getting ready for a soccer scene I ain't the worst that you've seen. (I will look GREAT in this bra next to the other women who didn't they could be comfy and look good)
Oh can't you see what I mean ? (actually, you won't SEE anything but great curves)
Might as well jump. Jump ! (go ahead – the bra will do the rest)
Thanks,
Susan Arnold
I have three kids and boobs that seem to scream wardrobe malfunction. I could use a sports bra to protect those around me…
I would like to win…I have had three babes in five years. This means I've been nursing or prego for five years. This takes it's toll…thinking the hand full might help
I just turned 30 about a month and a half ago. ("frowning"). My husband and I decided to join the gym that day. We have three kids and have been together 13 years, lets just say we grew "fluffy" together. Ok back to the gym. we are 7 weeks strong and with the help of healthy diet I am proud to announce we are both down 15 lbs. (For real you should see my butt LOL)Anyways. I would love to win this bra to continue with my goals and success plus it flatters the girls. Woohoo Thanks Amber Godown
I NEED this bra because my boobs really miss their former home. They don't seem to get along with my belly button very much and would like to move back up closer to their friends the shoulders.
While we don't have kids, I workout & have crappy sports bras!! THEY SUCK!! About a year ago, I was in the middle of a spin class and one of my boobs pooped out. Good news is that it was dark so I could pop it back in.
I really wish I was making it up. I threw that sports bra away & now I always wear 2 sports bras so if one pops out there is another crappy sports bra to catch my boob.
My boobies would love to be able to have one of these cool Handful Bras.
Also you look amazing next to your locker…
The Handful Bra looks like it feels wonderful. Here is why I think, actually, I know I need one! I've been reading all the comments and everyones boobs sure are a handful. haha My girls have been around for a very long time and have been through most of what everyone else is complaining about. I am about to become 60 and have joined a club to try to get into some sort of shape. I discovered I needed a sports bra to keep the girls steady and in control but the ones I have tried give me a back ache, shoulder ache, and neck ache. Of course, they also do nothing for these old baggy babes. I can tell the Handful bra would do wonders for me and really perk the girls up. I could use all the help I can get. My husband would like it too.

I want one! I'll play along…
Why I need this bra.
(1)When I lay down, my girls fall down into my arm pits. Yes these DD's have minds of their own.
(2)When getting into bras I have to lift, scoop, and pull them into place.
(3)If not they are hanging out everywhere. I have an autistic son and when he has a fit in the store guess what her pull on. my shirt got ya. But when he pulls the shirt down the twins can come popping out.
(4)This sports bra looks like it will help my problem of UNIBOOB when I wear a sporty. Well, if it's not a uniboob they look like two rocks in socks hanging/bouncing from my chest as I work out. Now that's motivation while at the gym.
Thanks Robin this was a fun post!
At 60 plus and an avid Tai Chi player, I could use a bra that separates the girls. Would love to win one. Thanks for the chance.
Ok…I'm putting my boobs in the contest…
And here is why I want to win…
I have boobs…big ones. Not big in the sexy sense, big in the annoying, floppy sense. In high school they grew and perhaps there was a day or two of perkiness, but all I recall is that they went from nothing, to droopy, floppy, and giant – thankfully, at that time oversized shirts were all the rage (or so I thought) and I did my best to hide them.
Fast forward 20ish years and 50ish+ pounds to birth of my boys, breastfeeding and gi-normous, strech-marked boobs. Not. so. pretty.
And finally to the present day (4 years after the birth of my youngest) where my boobage is saggy, streched, and still big…DD, or DDD – depending on the bra. I had heard wonderous stories of how woman went down in cup size – below prepregnacy size – after breastfeeding and I was hopeful…but alas, not to be my story.
So I am large and sometimes, athleticly, it feels that the girls are in charge – leaving me feeling like exercise includes backaches, black eyes, and body aches from all the bouncing…which brings me to the main reason why I want to win…
I am training for a half marathon in October and these girls need to be controlled!!!!
So that is my saga.
Thank you for your consideration.
I really think I should be the chosen winner because then there would be double duty advertisement value for the two handful holders. It seems perfect except that my boobs are missing. They left a decade ago when the woman attached to them took off. However, perhaps I could begin searching for a more fulfilling pair if I were to win a perfect bra.
