Panache & Chantelle sports bras -- are they actually the same?

Zoom Zoom, your ending comment made me laugh; not trying to be disrespectful! When I was younger, I hated being small, but now I realize that being large breasted has its own set of issues. With a good padded bra and the right advice from a fitter, I can look appropriately proportioned.
Many years ago, I was at some charity luncheon and the speaker was a plastic surgeon who did a lot of boob jobs. At the time, I was a very skinny and flat chested group exercise instructor. He was showing us a breast implant, which was being passed (really thrown) from table to table. Right when he was talking about all of the "aerobics instructors who are getting implants," someone threw the thing to me and about 75 women were laughing their azzes off. I did not think it was funny, but now I do!

Those things are heavy, aren't they?! My biggest frustration is that pre-reduction surgery I was a 34DDD, reduced to a 34D. Now I am a 32DD (because when I lose weight I don't lose at all from my boobs, just my ribcage. So much for that myth of breasts being primarily fatty tissue. Fatty tissue doesn't lactate). I would have loved to have been taken down to a C, but because the base of my boobs is so wide (each breast is well under my armpit and they meet in the middle without much space between), there was no way to do that without creating "pancake boobs." Even as a D I have a bit of that, hence my issues finding bras that are wide enough in the cup without having excess material at the front of the cup.
