To ask you to recommend a decent bra . . .

I really like Panache ENVY

I tried a Molke it's weird

I don't do padded or under wire bras, and I love Lemonade Dolls. I know you say you've tried them, but are you definitely in the right size?
When I first tried them, I thought they sat quite wide, and the bra migrated towards my armpit and my boobs fell out the middle, but I contacted them for advice, and they were super helpful, and after changing to the size they recommended, I think they're brilliant

I'm only an E cup but I like the Fantasie brand. Ana is a nice one.

They've got a bit expensive now (£50) so I've tried https://tuclothing.sainsburys.co.uk/product/tuc145385491 which only goes up to an E cup but is fantastic for a tenner! Available in several colours if you do a search. Annoyingly none of them have been linked on one page.

I'm also wearing a non-wired bra for the first time. https://tuclothing.sainsburys.co.uk/product/tuc145375516 also available in white and up to GG in some sizes £14.

So if anyone reading is a similar size (36E/38E) I'd definitely recommend trying those two

John Lewis for a fitting. I’ve always found Fantasie and Freya (same company) work well for me and they do last a good while although pricey to start with.

(Never been in Bravissimo because there isn’t one accessible to me.)

100% Bravissimo.

I'm in Ireland and used to order buy so much from them but then they closer their only store here (Belfast) and the additional taxes now due to Brexit just makes the cost ridiculous.

So disappointed, there's nothing as good available here 😞

I’m bigger than you (K cup…) and only wear Molke.

Never ever going back to underwires.

Totally agree. Just switched to Rigby and Peller and the bra fits and is comfortable. Expensive but worth it.

I have been wearing Satine bravissimo bras for the last 10 or so years (34FF) and they look great but I find them so uncomfortable now! Too tight around the ribcage and I can't wait to get them off. Do I need a different size or style all of a sudden? Are there comfortable versions!?

I'm a bra fitter & the VAST majority of ladies who come to us are wearing a bra that is too big in the back & too small in the cup & if you're falling out you're definitely wearing a cup that is too small. I'd hazard a guess you're 34H.

We don't use a tape measure, they don't work! When ladies say they are wearing a bra that was fitted by M&S we inwardly roll our eyes as they never fit.

Our best selling bra for larger cups is the Elomi Morgan, which works well for most ladies but you MUST get fitted properly first & NOT with a tape measure!

I used to wear Fantasie but now buy Adella or Flirtelle from Brastop. The Adella plunge is the most comfortable bra I’ve ever had.

I'm a 32 AA and my ideal bra would make me look not flat-chested 😂All my bras come from the M&S little girls' section and they are so comfortable that I can't quite reconcile myself to trying something new, but I'd love to not look like a 12 year old!

The bravissimo Millie doesn’t fit me well at all as my boobs are quite high, so it gives me a weird shape as the straps are quite far over on the cup. The Lacey bra is great though - it has more centrally placed straps.

I'm a 42 E (fat and yes I've measured properly). I like Elomi - you can buy online but Bravissimo might stock them. I was wearing Curvy Kate for a while then realised I needed higher sides to fit everything in. The Elomi Lucie plunge style works for me.

+1 from me. They are crazy expensive, like £100+ for the popular colours at full prize, but worth it and last for years. (And mine go in the washing machine as well!)

I'm the same size as you and have recently discovered Ann Summers plunge bras which have been brilliant for me! I buy via SimplyBe but obviously you can go direct

There are a couple of M&S bras that fit me perfectly, last forever and survive the washing machine.

I think being properly sized at R&P helped but fuck the £50 bra I bought nearly 25 years ago was the most uncomfortable bugger ever.

Another vote for bravissimo Millie, and make sure you have the right size, the front yoke should be flush with your rib cage and no gaping in the cups.

i also like the bravissimo soft bra for lounging about the house, very comfy.

I wouldn’t recommend a second hand bra to be honest. They likely will be stretched, and therefore no longer supportive.

I’m not. My boobs are just very heavy. I think technically I’m a 32 but that’s horribly tight and uncomfortable so I’m not wearing that, I wear a 34. And I don’t like underwired bras anymore.

I’ve tried loads of different sizes and been measured a few times. I think I just have weird proportions. High set boobs 😭

You're wearing the wrong size then. The straps shouldn't be taking any strain at all. Mine regularly fall off my shoulders, all the lift is in the band and underwire. I am a heavy 32 HH and wear a Millie.

Thanks! The Cate non-wired looks lovely but doesn’t seem to come in a 34 which is a shame.

Snap i'm also 36G. I wear Fantasie bras as they are generally the most comfortable and don't turn the ladies into a nightmare shape.

I find Elomi, Fantasie & Freya are all good brands for a generous bosom!! As PPs have said, get measured & fitted properly - John Lewis can be good or a local independent store if there is one near you.

My bras survive machine washing with no problem. They are a few years old.
