Anyone with a 30FF bra size? Finding it difficult to shop for bra’s

33 replies

lostbraa · 25/09/2025 21:24

I got measured today after having a a baby and I am a 30FF.

I actually increased a cup size despite me losing 4.5 stone.
The price of an average bra in the shop was around £40, not really looking at paying so much for a bra.

Ann Summers don’t appear to sell this size, does anyone have any recommendations for a reasonably priced bras in this size?

Many thanks x

Im either a 28 or 30 band size (I measure in between!) and it is frustrating how many general stores only start at 32! You might find they work though personally I tend to find 'sister sizes' uncomfortable because the if I have a larger band size it moves more and I don't feel as supported.

Another vote for brastop, you can search by size. They probably won't have a lot of choice but as it's an unusual size, when they do come up they tend to be discounted!

Brastop has discounts.

Curvy Kate has lovely ones and not too expensive
Bravissimo he best fit and shape for me
M&S are ok if you can fit yourself
Pour Moi

And vinted and eBay it you know what you want.

I'm an H, loads more choice for you as a FF!

I have a Triumph Doreen bra for my big boobs. Thanks to the miracles of German engineering, my boobs are now cantilevered into a position that is both comfortable and (I hope) comely.

My partner is having the same issue.? Her size has gone from a 30B/C to a 30FF in 9 months. Prolactin levels are the cause. Hopefully they have stopped growing now We found some on m&s online in Black Friday sales for £5.

My daughter gets hers at boux avenue she is 32G and 18. They have pretty styles and reasonable price

SocksAndTheCity · 25/09/2025 22:14

Pour Moi and Curvy Kate (I'm 32G) Smile

catofdestiny · 25/09/2025 22:14

M & S. Grab handfuls of bras and keep trying them on until you find something that fits!

B0D · 25/09/2025 22:12

Look on EBay, bra stop, pour moi

jetlag92 · 25/09/2025 22:12

I find these bra measures ridiculous. Buy a 32F and see how it feels

My daughter is a 32G, and buys her bras from Boux Avenue. Fairly reasonable. Maybe not just after having a baby though as many ( not all) are more lingerie.

I found boux avenue came up really really small. Needed a bloody shoehorn to get my boobs into the cups.

I'm not really convinced by the sister size thing. If I wear a 32e, my boobs don't really fit, but the band is too wide. Ido have some 32es, but 30f or ff is it for me. The wire goes further round your rib cage than you think. I like a tight band though, because I feel nicely strapped in.

Tigerthatcametobrunch · 25/09/2025 22:07

Ann summers online do two or three styles in that size and there usually under £20. You don't get the full range, but after years of paying bravissimo prices Ill take what I can get.

Confuzzleduzzled · 25/09/2025 22:05

If you can find a style you like then try Vinted. The ones I buy are £38 new but £5-10 for new without tags.

Thank you so much ladies for the recommendations.
I shall be looking tomorrow for some new bras, it was actually easier shopping for bras back when I was a 32DD lol.

I have just read that a 30FF is the same as a 32F so I may try that size as well xx

I'm 30f. Sometimes ff.
Freya and panache. Ann summers are shit, unless you only want to wear it for an hour or so.
Panache tango for every day. Or freya fusion.

But if you've not long had a baby, you'll be up and down.

Next has a two pack of T shirt bras for £26

Ifonlyiweretaller · 25/09/2025 21:51

I’m a 32f since losing weight - bought bras from Bravissimo ( at great cost!) which fit and give a lovely shape, but they are not the most comfortable. Looked on Next and have bought 3 amazing bras from them. A 2 pack black/white set (code M13557) £ 30 for the two, aand same in Navy ( code B17253) perfect fit and shape for me 😊

applesandpinkoranges · 25/09/2025 21:48

M&S has some nice bras for £10 at the moment on bigger sizes. Though they don’t do a FF so you would need to get 30G

Iizzyb · 25/09/2025 21:47

find stuff you like in bravissimo then look for sale discounts on other websites if you want cheaper. Rare to get size 30 in eg John Lewis & no Debenhams anymore but places like bra stop do sales/discounts

Floatingdownriver · 25/09/2025 21:41

Ultimo online outlet

BauhausOfEliott · 25/09/2025 21:40

I’m a 34GG/H but used to be a 30/32GG.

Bravissimo is the way to go. Bras in bigger sizes are often pricier but it is absolutely worth it for the better support.

Passthecake30 · 25/09/2025 21:40

I like Cleo bras, I get older design ones brand new from eBay.

Noname973 · 25/09/2025 21:37

I us bravissimo too
