Strapless bras

I'm around a 32E/34DD and would like a strapless bra that:

  1. stays up
  2. makes my boobs look halfways decent
  3. isn't horribly uncomfortable.

    Any suggestions? I have a fairly small back and short shoulders if that makes any difference.

Wonderbra ultimate strapless is very good, unless you're sensitive to the silicone strips on it. It stays up, gives good shape and, aside from my blistering from the silicone, is comfortable (for a strapless). Buy the 34DD though as it tends to run a littl small in the back.

It's sold in most department stores so you can probably find it and try it on before committing.

Thanks Sweary. I'll give it a go and bounce about a bit in the changing rooms. I've had one with silicone straps before and don't think I had much blistering, i think the cups were just a big weird on me, so that shouldn't be a problem.

The Wonderbra Ultimate is the only bra that holds my boobs in place.

I am size 32E (since having a bra intervention!) . I purchased my Wonderbra strapless a few years ago though so it's a 34C. It still fits though.

They are very tight across the back - so you might need to size up anyway.

Wow Sweary I got blistering too from the silicone grip in the band - only for the first wear though.

I found the Wonderbra was no good as the clasp was only two hooks deep and it didn't stay in place, even though it cut me in two.

A strapless bra needs deep side panels and 3 or 4 hook clasp.

I was reduced to using some clear bra straps to keep me up, and it felt like I had been sellotaped in!

Another vote for Wonderbra's ultimate strapless. Amazing bra.

Yep. Wonderbra. It's the only one I've found that actually lifts them rather than flattens them.

Another vote for the wonderbra here. It's the only one I've found that doesn't spend the whole time slippers by down and it gives good oomf!
