bras - do you wear a different size for wired/underwired?

[Hazeyjane]

so if you were, for example a 34e, would you go 36e for wired?

I've never heard that before. I'm pretty sure it's the same size for both.

Having said that, I never wear anything other than underwired. It just feels strange without.

Are you ordering online?

I rarely wear anything other than underwired, but need a much smaller size in non-wired. So underwired I wear a 30E, but in non-wired would wear a 30D at the very most, sometimes a C.

Thankyou for replying

Yes i'm trying to buy a bra online, I managed to get measured at Debenhams, but they only had one bra in my size and it was flesh coloured, which I'm not a fan of. However that was the one and only (very short) trip into town that we have managed since having ds 8 weeks ago. It was a bit of a nightmare as dds (3 and 4) were playing up and ds was screaming.

I stopped breastfeeding at 6 weeks, because of a variety of problems, including mastitis which made my breasts very painful. I would normally wear underwired, but am not sure whether I fancy wearing one for a while.

Ah so the cup size would be different, which would be a 34F - crikey!
