I've found a DD + fab bra - bought four

It's this one twin pack from Debenhams two for £25 - Gorgeous DD lace underwire D+ t-shirt bra.

It's worth trying a few different sizes on o get the best fit. I bought this colour way and a white / nude combination. Never in my life have I had four comfortable bras at the same time. The are underwired but it was so comfortable that I slept in it.

They are slightly padded but have a soft cup; supportive without massive shoulder and back straps and look pretty. The lace is very soft.

I've had some twin packs from Matalan and M&S. I've found the bigger my cup size, the less comfortable the bra. I had vouchers as Debenhams isn't somewhere I'd usually try. These are the most comfortable and best looking bras I've had for years. It's definitely worth shelling out a bit more.

Interesting. Took DD bra shopping today. She's a 30DD and Debenhams was where we ended up buying. Had expected M&S to be better. Debenhams cheaper than I expected!

I need new bras (too many Easter eggs), dare I try slightly padded?
Was a 32F, probably more like 34 now.

Shesnotme, they really are, glad they are for you too. I had a purple one in a sale ages ago and wore it out, it was my go to bra. I do t work for Debenhams. I have actually have two breasts instead of a proper bum/ big shelf.

Hmm I can't find a padded one in that colour combo. Do you have a link?

Don't be put off by the slightly padded. Just thick enough to stop nipples poking through but very soft. I don't like the soft shell cups because i end up with four breasts. They wash great too. Bra Nivarna for the large of breast.

I had one for about two years and wore it every other day. I wore it out going through the washer and dryer.

They look nice but I hate moulded cups.

I don't like moulded cups either. They aren't formed, they are very thick fabric.

I love Debenhams bras.

I am a 36E and bought one of their 'plunge' bras earlier this week. Super comfy and my boobs actually sit in the right place hurrah!

I was surprised by how well Asdas bras fit.
I went for a weekend away and forgot a white bra to go under a specific top. Nipped to Asda in the faint hope that they'd have something. I was surprised to find that their entice range goes up to a 42G. 36G was true to size, fitted well and for £8 can't grumble!

They aren't mounded cups. Just material in the cups.

Ah they say non-padded!
I have ordered some on that basis!

I have one of these and I wouldn't call it padded if that's putting anyone off. It's pretty comfy and I'm quite happy with it as a replacement for the much-missed BHS range! I'm usually a 34e and wear a 34f in this, so maybe think about going up a cup size

I have several of those in different colours. They fit really well, are very comfy and the cups aren't moulded at all.

I'm actually wearing one at the moment so in the interests of research for the thread I've had a feel of the fabric and can report that the cups are made of a double layer of silky fabric.

They are my favourite everyday bras. They also wash well & survive tumble drying.

I'll definitely try different types from Debenhams now.

Even though they are the same style, I have different size cups and band width for each of the two sets. I never try stuff on but recommend you do if you can get to a store.
