I got fired the other day in Debenhams
And bought one bra then n there

Then got home and ordered a load in that size ordered about 7 bras and they are all good
So I don’t know if I should keep them all or if thats a bit excessive
I have about 3 or 4 in the next size wolhixj isn’t too fair off and certainly wearable

So how many bras do you have ?

If they really fit then keep them. I have one brilliant bra (starting to look worn now but cost £££)3 or 4 others that are OK and a couple that do if I'm desperate. If I had the money I would have bought 7 like my best one.

All of them! 34c and easy to get bra’s that fit.

  1. Black & nude strapless, 4 underwired in different colours, 2 not wired.

I also seem to have bought 4 bralets in different colours which I can only wear with my winter clothes Blush

1 perfect (had 2 but underwire snapped few days ago.
2 ok, don't like shape but fit well.
About 10 which don't fit or are just scratchy/weird straps/too lumpy under clothes.

I have 2 bras that fit me perfectly, they are also from Debenhams and were rather pricey.
I have about 600 other bras in the drawer that don't fit properly, I should dump them really

Four that fit me properly. Two that I know are too big but they're fine for days at home.

@Soola Have a look at the booborbust calculator. 34C is a commonly suggested size at M&S, but it's more often than not wrong!

3 or 4. 1 is for running.

6
All recently purchased from Victoria’s Secrets.
Best fitting most comfortable bras I have ever had.

Myfoolishboatisleaning · 05/08/2019 18:44

3, but they are all the same brand. I don’t need more than that.

onemorecakeplease · 05/08/2019 18:44

3 bralets that are so comfy!

Oblomov19 · 05/08/2019 18:47

1 that's comfy! Blush

@NoBaggyPants I’ve been a 34c for years/decades and my bra’s fit perfectly. I’ve done the bra intervention/ calculator and it’s completely wrong as I’ve tried the suggested size of 32c and the band is too tight.

CrunchyCrumpet · 05/08/2019 18:51

@Wildorchidz I did exactly the same! I binned around 10 bras and bought six wireless bras from Victoria secret..they're divine and I never conscious of wearing a bra.

All of them. They come from Rigby & Peller - cost a small fortune but long lasting and so comfortable.

DidntAskToBe · 05/08/2019 19:06

0 really. I don't fill them but they are t.shirt bras (with the "padding") so give me some shape and cover my nips.

Often don't wear one at all.

None. I have tried so many different sizes and styles and have never had a bra that fitted properly.

tinatsarina · 05/08/2019 20:40

None. Currently 10 weeks pregnant and went and got myself bigger bras but the back is now to tight.

Soola · 05/08/2019 20:42

@tinatsarina buy some bra extenders

I recently got refitted in M&S after losing weight, and splurged on 3 x twin packs of underwired balcony bras in various colours, an extra in the sale, plus a twin of sports bras.

I tried the Boob or Bust measuring way and came up a 28 E, which I couldn't find in any shop. I ordered a load online but none fit at all so back to trusty M&S, 34 DD, all fit like a glove except the Sports bras which are a 36 C.
