NEED to try on some bras!

I really need a couple of new bras! Should have got some before corona but didn’t get round to going and now my 3 bras I have are literally falling apart!
I have big 34-36DD boobs. It’s no good just going on M and S online to find one! Usually I go to an expensive bra shop and get properly fitted or I go to M and S and get around 10 off the racks and one might be suitable! Each one fits so differently it’s impossible to just pick out a size.
I need non molded, non padded, underwired, no the huge cups that come up to your chin, no thick straps which show with summer vest tops, no lace which shows your nipple through a T-shirt, it needs to not dig in and not be baggy on one boob and over flowing on the other.
So so frustrated about not being able to try them on and very uncomfortable in my old ripped sagging bras!
Anyone else got the same problem!?

Try brastop. Buy, try, return as needed.

I am in a similar position, unfortunately I think there is nothing else for it but a large online order or a series of smaller ones exchanging sizes.

Although there may be some shops, especially smaller or specialist ones, offering a fitting service. With masks, and an element of distancing, it seems no worse than much of what is going on.

I looked at the label of my nicest fitting bra and searched online for same make/size, fitted fine.

I need to be fitted properly too

I had a baby 8 weeks ago and because of nursing I’ve no idea what size I am and so just wearing stretchy sleep bras.

Not exactly supportive though

If you have big boobs but are wearing a DD cup you're probably in the wrong size.

Unfortunately with most stores keeping their changing rooms closed/not offering fitting services you'll probably have to try on at home anyway. You can use a fitting guide like this to try and help in the meantime though.

I'm the same as you op. Need new bras and have big boobs (34 DD) but only certain styles suit me. It is annoying. I'd actually gone to M & S pre lockdown to get a fitting but the lady said I had to book fittings online now! And then lockdown happened and now here we are!

I know you want to try on but I bought this one off Amazon recently and was very pleasantly surprised (I'm a 30E/32DD)

Think it fits your criteria
