Bras - help needed

[Pinner35]

Can anyone recommend a good minimiser bra (ideally a smooth one for under t-shirts), and a good strapless one (preferably without foamy padded cups). I've recently finished breastfeeding and I think my boobs have settled down a bit so I'm a 36G.

I don't have the time to get to the shops so I'm relying on the internet. I'm about to get back into regular exercising so I don't want to spend too much either.....am I asking too much???

Any help or recommendations appreciated.

TIA

The Freya Deco is a nice smooth T-shirt bra, but it's not a minimizer I'm afraid. TBH I think minimisers are the work of the devil though and just leave me looking a bit deformed!

At a 36g you might find you need the moulded cups on a strapless to get enough lift and support - I can't get a strapless to fit me at all now though!

If you are looking for one for exercise then it needs to be a proper sports bra. This one is fabulous and you can generally find it on ebay - www.figleaves.com/uk/product.asp?product=Shock-Absorber-Max-Sports-Bra-Top-Level-4&product_id=BB-B4490&size=&colour=Blues

scotsgirl23 has a good point about the strapless bra needing to be a moulded cup.
i'm also a 36G and i found an absolutely perfect strapless bra which held me up all day and did give me a nice natural shape (as opposed to the flappy dog ears i actually have :) ). But, it does have moulded cups. I got it from deebenhams for £20.
If you wanted cheaper tho, asda do some really great bras for about £6.

Thanks ladies.....I really do need a minimiser although its just to wear under a couple of tops, just to avoid the gaping button thing that happens when I wear my bravissimo bras.

Ooh, I will have a look in Debenhams for the strapless one.

Not a proper minimiser but this bra tends to give me a flatter shape than my other freya or bravissimo own brand ones and can make the difference between gaping and meeting!
