To ask if anyone is actually comfy in a bra?

[Tinkerbell456]

I am 54 and, having had no kids, have reasonably “perky” boobs. Hey, being childless has to have a little upside, ok. Average cup size. I hate wearing a bra! Obviously need to if inappropriate not to, but find most bras hellishly uncomfortable really. Do I have any ummm..support for this view?

I'm a 40HH according to BoB, but tried a 40H in M&S & there was far too much fabric in the cup.

Today I'm wearing my first Molke bra & it's really comfy - no wires more like a crop top & it's great for breastfeeding in. Definitely recommend them: www.molke.co.uk

I've looked at the Molke ones - are they not a bit hot? I don't know if I'd fancy wearing one in the summer. And do they drag on your shoulders?

I'm comfortable enough, but would rather not wear one and just have a t-shirt on with no bra (I am large-chested). Sadly that's not an option in the workplace - I can't pull off the Rachel Green braless look, as my boobs are too big.

@RiverTam there is certainly more fabric than a standard bra so possibly they'd be more warm? But this is my first so not sure.

As for drag, I think as long as you get the right size it shouldn't.

thanks Squirrel. I either seem to get the right size band but then that clamps me so tightly it's really uncomfortable and sometimes I feel like I can hardly breathe, or I get a size up (still not great but better) and then it drags on my shoulders. Or, if I'm especially lucky, it'll do both!

Why are we all attempting to hoist our bosoms up?

Because, otherwise, it's impossible to move at more than sloth pace without pain. They're bloody heavy.

@PickleFish if you're struggling to get a bra that fits could you get to Rigby and Peller - they don't have many boutiques but they do sort you out with very well fitting (albeit very expensive) bras. It's probably worth a day trip to London to get fitted. I wore a 36C for years until I went there to discover that I was a 32F

I might try there again. I did try years ago ,but still couldn't find one that didn't roll up, even if the size that they suggested. They are fine when I put them on, but not a few hours later. Or the last for a week or two, but not once washed. etc. So frustrating!

If you let out a sigh of relief when you take your bra off...you ARE uncomfortable in it, whether you acknowledge it or not.
I realised I was doing this so I ditched the bloody things months ago and haven’t looked back.
That said, I’m an A cup so a rightish vest top is plenty of support. I can well imagine are more well endowed lady needing more support.

Booked for a lift at the end of next month. Getting the girls downsized and hoicked up surgically at 62, bras look cute until on...

I love taking my bra off late in the evening but have gone the odd day without a bra and felt awful until I put one on ( then relieved to get it off later!!)

Mine are comfortable but I have a strong love for them as my braless boobs are huge and saggy. Bras hoist me up

My bras are v comfy. I'm 36C or B. I wear to shirt bras from M&S or Triumph and literally do not feel them.

I always felt fine in a bra until I was pregnant then couldn't wait to take it off and that remains now that DS is five. Have one on if I'm seeing people but take it off the minute I can...same with jeans/jeggings etc.

@SweatyUnderboob what do you mean ‘humongous F, G, H’? That’s wildly vague. You can’t be all 3. What back size? I’m a 32FF and my boobs are not even remotely humongous

I’ll second the molke. No more red stripes under the boob, no more straps falling off my shoulders. No overspill when the hormones go awol. I am not being forced into an unnatural shape.

I am only comfortable in a bra. I have special sleep bras too.

For years I thought I was a 34B. Nope. I am a 32 DD and look much better for wearing a bra that actually fits.

My boobs are a bit saggy so sometimes, especially if I'm going out I feel far more comfortable with a bra, so they don't stick to my ribs and get underboob sweat lol

I find bras comfy. 34K

I am large of nork and find my bras uncomfortable when they are the wrong size, ie. I put on weight and then try and squeeze into them. I have lost some weight recently and need to get some new bras, I heard this lady on 5Live last week, she sounded great. I don't live anywhere near there but am considering driving up there!

Sadie the Bra Lady

Me. I’ve just gone wireless (and saved a lot of cash) having bought these comfy bralettes. I never have that “thank god I can take it off now” feeling now. Of all places .... Sainsbury’s at £16 for two.

Hate hate hate bras! 😤😤😤

no where to be measured around here i did measure myself am a big boobed lady and measure about 42F hate bras unwired sticks in armpits wires come out and buggar up the washing machine ones i have now are meant to be minimisers they swivel about so glad when i can strip off and put my nightie or pjs on

Yes very comfortable. I forget all about them within a few minutes of getting dressed.
