Christina Hendricks Can’t Fit Into Swimsuits

The Dirty Comforters ™ of Christina Hendricks will never be contained by your feeble, human swimsuits. But I guess that’s the cost you pay for having preternaturally large breasts that often appear to be several times larger than your head. In the most amusing first world problem since Eva Mendes bemoaned being too sexy, today we learn that Hendricks can’t stuff her goods into most bathing suits. ‘It’s really hard to find a bathing suit if you have breasts,’ she told Lucky’s August 2011 issue, in which she admits sketching her own designs to combat the problem. ‘You either get smooshed down or there’s no support… I have to be careful about my proportions and keep it simple. What works for me is structure and something that shows my waist.’ There’s a second photo below.

    I’d love to have that problem.

      Believe me you don’t….you end up being basically told you’re too fat to be seen in ANY bathing suit (except maybe a turtleneck) even if you wear a small/ med. bottom…it’s SUPER fun for me..

  2. OzKat says:

    It’s actually a pretty common problem. One of my friends and I are big up top and we both always struggle to find a swimsuit that remotely works. One of my other friends was talking about how she has to have her “tanning top” (with thinner straps and less fabric over all for less tan lines) and her more supportive running around top. My bustier friend and I stared at her like she was insane because we pray to the swimsuit gods to find anything and had never even considered the possibility of having a swimsuit top just for tanning. She thought it was normal to pick out any top (online no less!) and we thought it was normal to only be able to chose from one style, have to try them all on, and still have most of them not work.

    I suggest skinny dipping, so as to avoid the need for swim wear. I agree with the Ferengis, that all women should always be naked.

    Especially Christina Hendricks.

      in europe we are lucky! top is not required

    2. Ferd says:

      I second this. If it’s really a big (haha) problem, she should not wear one. She will be more comfortable, and we will all be happy.

    I am a natural 32 F after 2 kids and I can’t stuff these things into anything! I have to buy bras from the 100.00 a pop specialty store because no one carries my size. Swimsuits? I haven’t found one yet that really works. I am a size 4 bottom so I have to find mix and match suits and then I need something that is going to keep them where they are suppose to be up top.

    Lucky for US that a top IS required because these aren’t as perky as what they were now that I am 32 yikes!

  5. Ruminator says:

    Hmm, she USED to be able to fit in a swimsuit! There are pics of her from the early 2000′s where she had a similar build to what she has now, but with drastically smaller breasts. She had them done, and she is a liar when she says she didn’t!!

      1. smd2012 says:

        I am so glad you pointed out that her breasts are fake!!!!!I am so sick of people thinking people like her, or Salma Hyak, or so many others have breasts like this that are supposedly real, making every man unsatisfied with the girl he has. What a scam. This needs to be plastered everywhere.

    1. Allie says:

      She’s gained 50 lbs since those photos. Most women’s chests get larger when they gain weight.

      1. HighwayMiles says:

        Yeah, just because she looked like that in 1999 does NOT mean they’re fake. Twelve years ago I was a 34B. Now I’m a 38DD and I’m not overweight or anything. Aging changes you. Especially if you’ve been on the pill or had kids. And I can’t find a good swimsuit either.

        1. Ferd says:

          Amen to that. My wife went from a B to a D with kids. No boob job.

          1. Jae Sun says:

            Ditto. My wife went from a large B / small C to a full D after our son was born, and two years later she is only 10lbs over her pre-baby weight and hasn’t lost a bit of the cup size increase.

          2. Renard says:

            Yer not complaining, are you, Ferd? I most certainly wouldn’t!!! :-)

      2. beth says:

        50 pounds at least, probably more. i was a 36 C in 1999, now i’m a 38 DDD – no surgery, no kids. some women’s breast continue to grow far beyond puberty.

    OLD PROBLEM – for well endowed women for a very long time. Before implants were common, you couldn’t get a bra bigger than a C cup in retail stores. I was a 32D in High School in the late 60′s and could only get bras from a “bra-fitter”, in Lawrenceville, NJ – Sy-Lene’s. Their branch in Washington D.C and fitted Betty Ford and Nancy Reagan with bras after their mastectomies. They sold “foundations” – strapless or specialty bras or items (slips, etc) needed under formals and wedding gowns. Years later I learned about specialty bra companies; Cameo, Pennyrich bras or (Nutrimetics Co in California). Trained fitters (dealers) sell them, usually from home. The sizes go up to double “I” cups. (D,DD, E, F, G…. up to I) Many military wives after fitted for their correct size, have them shipped to them all over the world. They’re very different from other kinds of bras a harness and “bandarin” which really support. Many of the Las Vegas showgirls have worn them for years.

    I have the opposite problem … I can’t find ones small enough. I’m a 36AA, and everything I can find bunches up. Regular bras are impossibly to find, too. I usually end up wearing a sports bra (or none) at home and around on weekends, but those don’t work with “work” clothes. If I can find a 34A in a padded push up, that *ALMOST* fills up the extra space where a boob should be, but they still don’t fit right.

    On the fun side, I completely flabbergasted a lady in Victoria’s Secret (the only thing in there I can use is the fragrance stuff). Typical retail-working-on-commission crap, following me around, telling me about all the great bra deals, and finally I said “look, you don’t carry them in my size, thanks but no thanks”. Her response was “well, you just haven’t been fitted properly!!” OK, fine, “fit” me. After she wrapped a measuring tape around me and consulted her chart, and then the other sales girl, and then her manager, she came back to me with a sheepish look on her face and said “um, I guess you can try Wal-Mart?”

    1. Don’t do the “plus 4-5 inches” way of figuring out your bra size. This often makes most women wear too big a band & too small a cup. The above bust measuring for the band is silly also – the band doesn’t sit there…

      It’s unlikely you’re a 36A. If you can fasten a 34, then a 36 band is too big…. Go with the smallest band size you can fasten comfortably. Try fastening it backwards so the cup size doesn’t make you think its too small (because often it’s the cup that’s too small, not the band). The cups may be gapping because the band is too loose, not because the cups are too big. The band is what holds the cups against your body, and what holds you boobs up & in place.

      So try this method – measure under your bust. That’s your band size. If it’s an odd number, then try the size above & below it. Example: if you measure 31, then try a 30 or 32 band.

      Next, bend over at the waist, braless so your breasts hang, and measure around your bust at the fullest point. Then subtract your underbust measurement from the overbust. Each inch difference is a cup size. When you put on a bra, do the “scoop”. Start under your arm pit & scoop all the breast tissue into the cup. Otherwise, you may wear a too small cup & not realize it. Google this for more info.

      Also remember that when you go down a band size, the same letter cup gets smaller, so to keep the same size cup, you have to go up a letter. For instance, a 36AA, 34A & 32B have the same cup size. A 36AA & a 30C have the same cup size too…and so on… Google “sister bra sizes” to see some charts & more explanations. It will make it easier to grasp why a small busted woman may actually need a high cup size.

      If I were an AA, I wouldn’t wear a bra! They’re expensive, uncomfortable, and a huge hassle! I’m a DD and I’d trade for AAs any day.

  8. Alicia says:

    This are not fake boobs. The Playboy picture shows a very skinny Christina, and I know (personal experience) that once you pile the pounds like she did since, some pounds go straight to your boobs. When I was slim, my boobs were pretty big, but once I gained a lot of weight, they became huge, enormous. I don’t understand how can anyone get big fake plastic boobs, they do nothing for your own good!

  9. victory says:

    If Christiana is having trouble fitting into clothes, perhaps having smaller implants put in would help.

  10. Mat says:

    Or she should just go on a diet.

    1. Janet says:

      Or, wild idea, the fashion industry could learn how to cater to a wider range of sizes. Many, many people would benefit from that.

  11. Meg says:

    Grrrr…swimsuit shopping sucks. I’m a 36 FF and it used to be impossible to find decent bras and swimsuits. I order mine from the UK now as I’ve finally found the first place I can get frilly things to fit me that are also supportive. Gone are the days of having more than 3 snaps on a bra and such full coverage it felt like a sports bra all the time. Bravissimo has been a godsend :)

    1. CranAppleSnapple says:

      Thanks, Meg! I’m having a browse, now. :)

  12. Pat says:

    Hey all you STUPID people!!!
    STOP saying she has implants when she does not– you do not know what you’re talking about!
    These snarky comments are from very young girls or jealous women
    or guys who just don’t know much about women and their bodies!
    Our breasts change over time for all sorts of reasons that don’t include implants! Fakes can still bounce (think PamelaA in Baywatch)
    BUT once you see them jiggle (like Christina’s sometimes do, depending on what she’s wearing), you know they’re real! And she may be curvy, but it’s not like she’s skinny– her butt is also HUGE (and gorgeous)!!!

  13. Feanor says:

    Christina Hendricks Can’t Fit Into Swimsuits?

    I’d like to see her try.

  14. C.F.Godwell says:

    Looks great to me. As a Black male from NYC, thick and shapely women are pretty much everyday fare to us.

  15. TED409 says:

    if god had meant women to wear swimsuits, they would have been issued at birth !!!

  16. John says:

    For Christmas one year, I took my wife to the best ladies undergarment boutique I could find. She had an appointment with one of their professional fitters and she spent the next few hours running amok, gathering a selection of perfectly fitted bras and sundries.

    She was happy. I was happy. Life is good.

  17. winja says:

    i would be more than happy to volunteer to “cover” her assets. i have arms and other parts with will support, and cover her in any way she will let me. that is one beautiful woman, and she isnt all skin and bones which is SO nice!

  18. biggunsF says:

    she’s gorgeous ..
    very obvious her ‘boobs’ are natural…
