A big moan and advice about bra shopping, bra wearing etc.

I’m having a miserable time trying to find bras that fit. I know the size I’ve been wearing for years isn’t right because the wire doesn’t touch my body under my boobs, but I can’t find one that does. I tried BoB hoping for a revolution like others have talked about, but I’ve just tried on a million bras and they all had different problems, places where they hurt etc.

I’ve tried wired and non-wired in so many sizes - it doesn’t help that you can’t try on in store anymore, so I’ve spent about £200 on bras to return. I even tried Molke.

I loved the Molke, but I could only get one in red and yellow and it limits what I can wear because you can see it under so many clothes! I’m a secondary school teacher - I can’t have any bra on show, no matter how much I like it. They do plain ones, but they’re so hard to find in stock too.

I’m currently just wearing a two pack of crop tops from Asda that are soooo comfy, but probably make me look even worse than usual. I don’t think I can wear it for school tomorrow, so I’ll be back in my underwires that don’t fit!

Has anyone else struggled this much, and solved the problem, please? And thank you if you’ve read this long moan!

Try the abrathatfits reddit guide for sizing - it was spot on for me. Once you find the brand that fits you best, look for bras in discount on-line shops like [https://www.belle-lingerie.co.uk/ Belle Lingerie]]. eBay can be good too.

m.facebook.com/groups/185390705400123/?view=group is a good place to keep an eye on. I sold a molke on there because it didn't work for my body shape.

How about adding a vest top over it?
