I can suddenly no longer tolerate my bra, have I totally lost it?

I am huge of nork (38 E). I usually wear a bra, yesterday I had to pull the car over and take it off because it was just wrong. I haven't put it on since (thank god for big jackets and big scarves). I feel A LOT better in myself weirdly... Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks Slopes
Does look comfy!

Molke bras don't look great to me. And I have read that they are difficult to get on and off. (They are also hideous).

I think the wires seem to rub more as shops have moved away from cotton. There's less structure to the material so more reliance on the wires and straps?

I still wear one for work but bralettes at the weekend. Need to read the reviews as some are far more supportive than others.

Interested in this thread?

@SlopesOff I’ll admit Molkes are an acquired taste, but I haven’t worn anything else since I got my first.

I nearly sent the first one back though because they are tough to get into at first, but worth it once you’ve got the knack.

Can I echo a PP and say 38E is not especially large of nork and that you’ve probably been wearing the wrong size.

I can say that cos I’m a 34K, or in Molke terms, a Medium Mega Grin

Also, somebody mentioned shoulder divots.

I have them, think they’re permanent now.

The technical term (I saw it on a documentary about breast reduction years ago) is Coathanger Shoulder Blush

DM's went away. I couldn't believe it.

I've always hated bras. I wear the CK sports one now always

@AcornAutumn - Yes, Molke are pricey, but comfort is priceless! :-)

They're not the most attractive bra by any means I agree but oh so comfortable! I don't find them hard to get on at all.

HotPatootiebootie · 27/11/2020 19:22

I swapped to hand made bras without under wire 2-3 years ago and I haven't looked back once. I also wear crop top style bras and the difference in comfort is just splendid. I could never, ever go back to wearing scaffolding just to raise and separate my tits a few inches. My back pain is better, I don't get rashes on my under boob any more and the channels on my shoulders have gone.

Burn the bras!

Grimbot · 27/11/2020 19:54

Yep. I’m not going back to bras. I never got on with them but after wearing maternity bras when pregnant with my sons I just could never go back to an underwire. I wear crop tops from next and they are so much more comfortable. Boobs probably not as high up as they could be but who cares I’d rather be comfortable.

My bralettes are comfy
Not as comfy as no bra

Also the Molkes look very bulky, they look like they’d show under a t shirt.
