Non - wired bras that don’t roll up!

I have a real issue with this! I have underwired bras but they can get pretty uncomfortable by the end of the day, sometimes before, so I want a few without wires. I’m 36F & have tried various brands which all roll up. Any recommendations for ones that stay put & give good support gratefully received.

Band rolling is often a sign that the band is too big.
Have you measured to see if your size has changed?
A 36" band would normally indicate that you are a size 16 - is that about right?

Miss Mary of Sweden? They’re expensive but the most comfortable and supportive non-wired bra I found after having breast cancer surgery (38E).

Body & Bra comfort bra.
Best non wired bra I have ever found.

I have some from M&S. They are literally like underwired bras but no underwire. I’ve never had issues with a bra rolling up ever and I am a 38DD. I think fit is probably the issue here.

George at Asda have non underwired non padded bras - sold in pairs, black/pink and cream/dark jade. You can get an assortment of band/cup sizes & see! Returns are easy.

Is band /clothes size correlation that accurate, @Seeline? I’m a steady 38 band and size 14. Broad backed, wide shouldered gal.

Pretty much, although there are exceptions. I'm the other way - 38 band, but generally at least a 22 top because huge boobs don't fit in a size 18 (K cup).
People often wear the band too big, as the cups are too small. Or they have been measured at M&S who insist on adding 4" to your rib cage measurement as they don't do bigger cup sizes.
