To find every bra uncomfortable?

Our skins tend to get thinner and more sensitive as we get older, certainly I hate mine more nowadays than I ever used to. 😞

I have just received my bra from body & bra. Omg so comfortable and lifts so I have put it straight on. I am usually a 34G. I am going to look at their other styles as it's not very attractive but to be quite honest, I don't care.

Thank you for this recommendation @HonkyDonkey , I'm 34GG and now frantically googling M&S Flexifit!

I'm a 36G and they have my size.

It must be another section on the website like pp has said.

Mine is a 32G. The bigger cups are a separate page on website.

I am a 32FF and bought the G and it’s fine, I guess that’s the flexi bit!

The M&S Flexifit only goes up to E cup, is that correct? Seems very restrictive. I need a 32FF

45 but I have some that I bought a year or two before lockdown and are only now needing replacing so that’s much better value per wear than many others

£45, so I’ll look elsewhere!

I’m very grateful I have small boobs and innie nipples because I can get away with not wearing a bra. I haven’t worn (or owned) a bra in like 6+ years. I had a breast cancer scare where I had a lump that grew and it just became very uncomfortable, so during the period of time I stopped wearing one for that I realised how comfortable that life was that I couldn’t go back to wearing one 😂

After the recommendations on this thread I decided to get myself a Molke bra and I am so impressed. It’s really comfortable, fits well and my boobs haven’t been this high since I was a teenager!

After so many recommendations for the M&S Flexifit bra, I went looking for it, only to find that it's the one I already have 😂 In which case, I agree that they're pretty good as far as bras go, but taking it off and changing into my pyjamas is still a highlight of my day.

I'm grateful for seeing the pics on the website again though, and have finally worked out why the straps have hooks - it's so you can cross them, should you ever lose your mind want to. That is a feature they could do without - the number of times a strap has unhooked itself while I'm wearing it is considerable. It's massively inconvenient! As the hooks are at the back you've got to take the whole damn thing off to fix it, unless you've got a handy helper nearby. It's a particular pain in the backside when in public and/or wearing a dress...

I absolutely hate bras and only wear them if out. I have scoliosis and asthma and sensory difficulties and the combo makes them torture. I recently found these from m&s and can happily wear them all day as they are so soft and flexible. I don't have a big bust 30d, but these still give as much shape as a normal bra. For some reason the model makes them look like they flatten your bust but I don't find that. https://www.marksandspencer.com/flexifit-crop-top-bralet/p/clp60438341?color=BLACK&extid=ps_ps-pla-pmax_ggl_lg_ch__-UK-_-_baussc&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=19973637328&gbraid=0AAAAAD7g6bR_i_iY0-5JQnc_nKAROX-5S&gclid=Cj0KCQjws4fEBhD-ARIsACC3d284WHyRwSfaPvOvW1pMRfIkfhCmlK2fi7dhP4irkl6Bk5Vr1gV-mc0aAqKWEALw_wcB

I always lurk on these threads to see if I can find the holy grail but I'm invariably disappointed when loads of the suggestions don't come in my size.

@Seeline thanks so much for that tip!

Look up Bellarosalingerie on Instagram - she does fittings online and I have never known a bra be comfortable all day until then! She’s incredible - and super sweet and helpful

M&S flexibra is the most comfortable bra I’ve ever worn, and there have been many!

I also hate bras and I think I've finally found an acceptable one! It's a brand called HoneyLove (no association with LoveHoney, as far as I know) and I saw Ruth Crilly (model, influencer) talking about them on Instagram. I almost didn't buy one because the marking was so InstaScam coded (shitty voiceovers, spammy), but I did and I'm so glad I took the plunge (pun intended).

It's so comfortable, not underwired, and actually a very impressive level of lift that lasts all day and doesn't move. No sagging. I'm a 36E. I do get a bit of uniboob, but better than many others I've tried. The straps don't dig in at all.

Me too Nomas.
I've always cut the tags off of tops & bras.I can't wear wool or anything itchy. Unfortunately my school uniform was horribly rough Crimplene dresses that I had to have lined in cotton. Coupled with lacy itchy starter bras my teenage years were spent in major discomfort !
I didn't realise it was a sign of adhd until ds2 was diagnosed. He used to cut a perfect rectangle out of his white school shirts, not just the tag. I think the labels were sown in.

A lot of my female students wear those spaghetti strap tops with bra included. Practical for smaller busts I think.

YANBU, I have ADHD related sensory issues so have tried lots of different types of bras.

This summer I’ve started wearing non-see through v neck t-shirts and going bra less in the heat. I’m a 38D so I do need support with most outfits.

I appreciate that’s not an option for everyone.

@Cantonet ooh will investigate Boody as that sounds like it would work.

@Shinyandnew1 believe it or not it's Primark. Part of a two piece set so not on the usual bra shelves. I'm 67 so definitely didn't want the tiny pants that came with it! I've bought a few but only really for occasional summer wear.

Ooh I will investigate Boody as it's true Sloggi aren't very breathable which is an issue in hot weather.

I used to wear sloggi zero feel with the moulded Inserts but now wear Boody as they're more breathable. I wear the bralettes without fastenings that you pull on. But I'm tempted to buy the t shirt bra as the Inserts are sewn in. I used to go out braless when young & pre-kids but now at 61 but post weight loss & post breast feeding just no.

I'm a teacher too @JamPotJenny and Sloggi hasn't let me down! "Norms" was not inappropriate in the context either!

I have dodgy shoulders and can twist the Sloggi ones quite easily.

I gave all the inserts to DT at school so expect to see them in a student project soon 😂
