Molke bras

[CherryChapsticks]

Anyone have one? I'm considering it but I want to know if they're more like crop tops and if they're the bra version of 'snag tights' which don't appeal to me at all

I'm looking for a soft, comfortable bra with support and shape and wondered if the molke might fit the bill

Thanks

Dd wears snag tights and she’s a size 6 🤷‍♀️

Nothing is wrong with body positivity and maybe you need to be familiar with BoPo insta accounts. Just a joke, just a joke. Some people understand where I'm coming from though. Snag and molke seem the same kinda thing to me the more I look at them

In the minority here but I love molke bras, they give me brilliant shape and cleavage. I don't have an issue with them showing under strappy tops because I don't wear strappy tops.

I think they work best for bigger boobs but only if you also have a smallish waist.

I don't tolerate underwires at all, can't stand them.

I am a 36G and have considered buying one of these bras but after reading the comments on here regarding cleavage I'll give it a miss. I hate having anything that displays my breasts in that way. So it's a no from me.

I get what you mean about BoPo - there is a 'look' that many of the IGers have. Very colourful, vintage style outfits. Blunt fringes and Victory rolls. Plenty of tattoos as well. The Snag and Molke models mostly have that look.

I get what the OP means about Bopo, it's usually brands that make you look like a kids TV presenter that promote it. I would love to see more everyday brands with a variety of models.

I love Molke bras and as someone with chronic pain I find them very comfortable- but - I size up from the size they say I should wear as I don’t like them super tight and find them impossible to get on and off otherwise. They say I should wear a small super and I wear a large cosmic. But they have a new flexi fit bra that you can do up like a normal bra so perhaps this helps somewhat. I love the shape and uplift they give, far better than any other similar bra out there.

I dont mind a flash of molke under a vest top, but not a strappy cami of course.
Theres loads of instagram pics of them so you can see they do support.

I also have to size up in them.
I find they simultaneously minimise, while giving good cleavage, which i quite like, and i know the bo-po look you mean, cos i quite like that and molke do have a bit of a cult following in those circles. Also youre right that they dont go with every outfit.
I like my black one with a deep V top or dress that i dont want normal bra to show as makes my boobs look brilliant, and i like a colourful molke under either a thick strapped vest top or a slouchy off shoulder tshirt. It becomes part of the outfit

Yes, this has happened to Popsy Clothing - I used to be able to get nice dresses for work but now it’s all dungarees and novelty prints. To be fair they do get everyday models to show their stuff. I can overlook that issue with Snag because the sensible coloured tights are so good - not fussed about the others.

Really comfortable and I wear nothing but Molke now. I used to go to Bravissimo for years but started finding the underwires so painful if I attempted to lean or lounge in bed reading once peri menopausal.

I wear a 34FF/G and find the Molke sizing works. Good shape. Much more subtle under clothing than I expected.

I step into the bra and pull it up rather than wrestle it over my head. Works brilliantly for me. End of day, shoulder straps off, step back out of it.

I like them, I find they're comfy and supportive and never dig in. I don't feel the need to rip them off the minute I get in from work, like I have with every other bra I have owned.
I don't have an issue with the jazzy patterns because nobody else can see them under my clothes. I have a navy blue and white for when I am wearing a white or slightly see-through top, or one where the straps might peek out.

Otherwise I don't have the "look" which molke seem to align with. I am an average size and I wear clothes from fat face generally 😅 I just like them for the comfort really. Plus the resale value.

"I'm about a 36E or F and a size 12-14"

Really? It would be unusual to measure 36 inches under the bust if you're a size 12-14, you would have a proportionally large ribcage/chest.

Have you measured yourself recently? Try this method www.booborbust.com/

@AnotherEmma I measured using their calculator and it did say to contact their admins if I'm sure I've measured correctly!

Now ... I could be a little out of proportion. I've had a tummy tuck so my bottom half is slim. I look relatively normal though and yep - I'm definitely a size 12 - 14 is some cases.

'Size 14 in some cases' that should read! But usually a 12. All my dresses are 12s and my jeans for example

Some of us can't tolerate the BOB method, I know that's sacrilege to say but it's the case. I know I "should" be wearing a 32 back but I can't physically stand it - it is too tight for me regardless of what cup size I wear. It's a sensory thing.

I like them. Really couldn't care less what anyone thinks of what I wear though, and never wear strappy tops that would show my bra anyway.

They are not like crop tops at all but you do need to get the right size. I wear a small super Molke and I'm 12/14. The support comes from the band which needs to sit right under your boobs like an underwire would do. They give me great support and shape under clothes.

I like that they are really easy to wash with normal laundry (no wires to worry about), too.

I’m exactly the same. Officially I’m a 30GG/H but fuck that for a game of soldiers. So uncomfortable and I just can’t be doing with not being comfy. I wear a large cosmic Molke.

Thanks for all the comments. I've also joined the Facebook group and now I can actually see the bras on 'real' women, I don't like them at all. They're just not something I'd ever wear. I'm clearly in a bit of a minority as they've got a huge fan base but I'm scratching them off the list as I just wouldn't want to wear one

Molke never appealed to me either.
You could try Sugar Candy, they are non-wired and very comfortable, good for bigger cup sizes, and look more "normal".
www.bravissimo.com/search/Sugar%20candy%20non%20wired

I would advise you to double check your size though so you know what to try as a starting point (even if you end up with a different size). There is a Boob or Bust FB group you could join and they offer good advice.

@AnotherEmma yes those bras look ideal - just what I'm after. I've no idea what size I'd be though as they go from XS upwards with no cup size explanation that I can see

Well first you need to know what your size is (as I said, 36 band seems unlikely, you'd need to measure) and then see the recommendations on this page: www.poinsettiastyle.co.uk/products/cake-maternity-sugar-candy-everyday-seamless-sleep-bra-black-28800506
If I had to guess I'd say you might be a 32FF-G which would be a Small.
Bravissimo sell them so if your local one is open you could try them on for size.

@AnotherEmma yes I think I'll pop into my nearest bravissimo as this is the style I'm looking for

I'm definitely measuring a 36GG with BOB but I wear a 36E usually, sometimes a 36DD. And they all fit just fine. And I'm definitely a size 12 and sometimes a 14. So I don't think the BOB method works too well for me!

If you are wanting to try one the Facebook group Molke B/S/T sells second hand ones.

Have a look at the new flexi fit bras they've brought out. I've just bought one and they're really comfortable but also supportive (and I have enormous boobs)
