Bralette recommendations

I am fed up with underwired bras. I'm 41, my chest is becoming a bit matronly, and the damn little metal tortuous wires seem intent on jabbing me.

I had a professional measure about 6 months ago, spent a fortune on bras, and they are killing me.

I do have one M&S bralette which I now live in. I am wide of back, small of bust- sort of 36c/34d territory.

Any recommendations for other brands? Cannot spend more money on instruments on torture (expensive bras) which are just consigned to the back of the undie drawer.

I'm the same, but incredibly large of Nork.

Ubderwired is just torture.

I've started buying from Molke.

They have a sizing guide, you just measure yourself (following their guidelines) and then tally it with their size guide.

They wash well and hold their firmness well.

BAM ones are amazing for small boobs. Maybe look on their website for sizing?

Brilliant- thank you both. Will check them out. I need comfort in my life... not the evil diggy little crevices that the underwiring is bringing 😤

I have a bunch from TU sainsbury that I live in, you just buy according to dress size. I am fairly tall and broad of shoulder with small boobs, the fit is great.

There's a Sainsbury's in town- so will check it out. The cheaper the better given that the fancy bras cost a tonne, and just feel like such a waste!

Another vote for Molke - I have ditched all underwires bras now

I am a similar bust size to you OP and wear Sloggi zero feel bralettes in a size L, very comfy, light padding and decent support. However I've noticed after around 6 months of pretty much daily wear and washing they do start to lose their structure a bit. I have quite a few I rotate now to hopefully avoid it.
