I've endured 10 weeks in my wired torture bras but thinking about investing in a couple of non wired ones, especially as I now need support in bed! Free boobs = pain. : (

I then saw these on groupon:

Worth it or not going to be supportive enough? Anyone worn anything similar?

Any advice?

I'd think it would depend on what size you are? I'm 34FF and wouldn't touch them with a bargepole, but if I were a 34C I might consider them x

Haven't tried these sorry so no idea but if your underwired bras are causing you that much pain are you sure they fit properly? Might be worth going somewhere to get measured properly & then good bra fitting. I wouldn't recommend M&S (lovely staff measured me as a 40 back and tried to sell me overpriced training bra's - hideous). Have a great independent shop near me who measured & fitted v comfy underwired bra (in a 36). Haven't needed one at night, and would imagine you wouldn't want underwired then but then you probably won't need v supportive bra either at night.

I agree with june - you may just need to go up a size. I'm 16 weeks and have gone up 1 size but I'm still wearing underwire without complaint. I love Bravissimo btw, but do get fitted, don't just buy online :)

Ahh you guys are probably right! I might pop into town and get measured. I was a 32dd before pregnancy and 10 weeks now. I think it's prob a cup size change. I never wore a bra at night before but find my boobs get too sore as I move and a bra seems to help! Just wanted something comfy to wear in bed and then some new bras for daytime hopefully with wire if it's ok! Non wired bras are so unsexy. : (

Bear in mind your boobs are probably super sensitive at 10 weeks & it should get better soon. I think that advice to have non wired is pretty old fashioned - if a bra is fitted properly the wires won't be anywhere near your breast tissue so don't see how they could do any damage! Once you've had a proper fitting you can go and look for cheaper bras to wear at night perhaps? At least you'll know what you're looking for. I've heard good things about bravissimo but none near me unfortunately. Good luck :)

Have you seen the sleep bras? Like this kind of thing from mothercare.

A nice comfy bra for night time sore boobs.
