Please bear with me. I've tried reading over the wiki a few times but it's not absorbing at all. I'm really overwhelmed and feeling super discouraged. I just need some human reassurance and help.

So I've been wearing sports bras for a while now after gaining weight. I've never had good experiences with wearing traditional bras in the past (probably because they were the wrong size) so I sort of gave up for a while and wore whatever kept my chest together.

Measurements: (inches)
Loose Underbust: 40
Snug Underbust: 39
Tight Underbust: 38
Standing Bust: 46.5
Leaning Bust: 49
Lying Bust: 49.5

Suggested Starting Size: 40H/I US
Sister size: 38I/J US

I also did the UK because it said recommended
40FF/G
Sister size: 38G/GG

My breast shape is very deflated and my nipples point down. Pretty much lost all fullness and I hate everything about them. I'm pushing 40, but they have had this general shape most of my life.

I tried looking around locally, but I live in a semi-rural area so all I had was a super small JCPenny and a Walmart Supercenter. They don't carry these sizes. I have to drive 1.5 hours to get to a major city with some actual stores, but I don't even know what stores carry this size. I really don't want to drive all that way just to cry in my car because I can't find what I'm looking for. I'm literally crying as I write this stupid post.

Seems like something I shouldn't be blindly shopping for online unless I buy a bunch and hope for free return shipping. But I'm willing to do that if thats what I need to do.

Please help :(

I’m trying to decide if I should give this another shot. The last time I tried to do this was around 2021 and it was not user friendly at all from a guest perspective. It generated a random 6 digit code and send a long automated message to my guests about downloading the smart lock app. Gross. No thanks. 

So I disconnected it from airbnb and have been manually adding guest codes ever since. I like that I can remotely change their access date/time if they request a later check out or early check in. I also like to set the code as the last 4 digits of their phone number on file. 

I have a Yale Assure lock with a physical keypad. It is managed via the August app. 

So for those of you that connected a smart lock recently, is the experience any better? Is there an option to use a 4 digit code? Does it still send an automated message about downloading the app? Any issues with connectivity?
