AIBU to want the perfect bra?

I have put on weight and have fibromyalgis and my current bras are really hurting. I want a non-ugly, supportive bra that gives my saggy boobs shape and uplift but that is comfortable plus easy to get off annd on. Is this achievable? Is this achievable without underwire?

Recommendations would really be appreciated.

I'm a 40D if that helps!

I swear by elomi matilda. They're wired, but super comfortable and give a lovely uplift & shape.
I've read some amazing reviews for Molke too...they're wireless and pull on over your head instead of fasten at the back.

Same as PP - I got a few elomi bras from Bravissimo last month and they are amazing. I recommend Bravissimo for bra fittings.

I found Bravissimo pretty hopeless when I went a couple of weeks ago, but I guess it varies depending on the store/which assistant you get!

I envy those who can find comfortable bras! I have congenital symmastia, so no gap between my boobs so wired got nowhere to sit, and none wired dont fit me either :(

Boob or bust! Game changer. You'll find you go down a back size or two and significantly up in cup sizes. The support comes from the band rather than the straps. So much more comfortable. I went from a 36 C/D to a 32 F.

I'd bet you're not a 40d
Fantasie illusion oe Alex side support.
What dress size are you?

@Educ8tor don't go to m and s they're shite
But in answer to your question I've not found a decent bra without wire

I love elomi, 42h and they are wired but very comfortable. If I don’t want wired I like m and s flexi bra but it’s not as supportive

I've just got the Zara and Flora bralettes from bravissimo and I'm a 39J and I'm super impressed. I get horrible repeat rounds of costocondritis and the underwire on normal bras is awful and I'm done. I thought I was too big for a bralette but these are amazing and hold me in and nice wide sides so spreading out the pressure over my ribs.

38J even
