To ask about BRAS

So basically, I never really wear a bra. I hate the way they feel and find them really uncomfortable. Last time I was measured I was 36DD but that was a few years ago so I need to get the tape measure out.

So, ladies, please help me out. BEST website to buy comfortable, uplifting, supportive bras? For women with relatively big bust. I'm only 23 and they're sagging! 😂😂😂

I've tried the bralettes too and they just don't give me enough support. The one I have also rolls up where the band is and is so uncomfortable.

Sorry OP, I'm th opposite! 30HH and a few months ago at 28 I officially have up on proper bras, I just cannot deal with the pain, the wires and the fact that they always make my boobs look bigger which I hate. I now live in a collection of stretchy crop tops, bralettes, sports bras and any tops I can get away with wearing morning underneaths.

Try Royce-lingerie wire free bras. They’re really comfortable

I love Boux Avenue for my bras, they are super comfortable for me and do a really good job at supporting me 34 E. I’ve always worn bras but have had 5 pregnancies and went on to breast feed them. I’ve found lifts my weights really help to firm up and lift the chest area as well as a decent supporting bra, so even after 5 breast feed babies and at the age of 42 I’ve still got firm breasts. Swimming is also good for toning the area too imo

I totally get it. I hate bras. I do wear them when I go out but if I know I’m going to be in all day it stays off 🤣 in the winter I’ve been known not to wear one. I’m only a b cup though. So you can’t even tell. I’m not wearing one right now 🤣

My favourite bra and the only one I will wear now is from M&S. Its a plunge type bra and it’s called super soft or something. The material is so soft and non scratchy (I hate lace bras) as well as being supportive, great quality And slightly padded.

Another vote here for using the boob or bust method for finding out your size. Most women are wearing too big a band and too small a cup. If you're on facebook join the group on there. Lots of good advice and other people going through the same trying to get a good bra and lots of tips on how to get a bra that fits properly.

I've been wearing Prima Donna Deauville for years now. Underwired, but I don't feel as though I have a bra on. Pricey, but they last.

I have just ordered a bra from m and s. Seem to have some nice more comfy ones and not too expensive. I didnt want to spend a lot on one without trying it on first. I have really needed some new decent bras for ages, had 2 kids and breastfed so wanted to wait till I have finished. Would have been better to try them but will see how it is when it arrives.
I have bought bras from asda and sainsbury's in the past years as wanted cheap bras when pregnant or breastfeeding but they are not comfy.

I would wait until Bravissimo are open and head there. They are brilliant and will measure you properly and find bras to suit your size, shape and ensure you’re comfortable. If you can’t wait then measure using Boob or Bust.
