Do younger women wear Moulded bras more?

If they have tits, not fried eggs.
Chatting to younger colleague about it and she NEVER wears non moulded. I have a new moulded one that i am taking time to get used to but can see in the summer avoids nipple show.
She also thinks my wearing beige ones( i wear a lot of white) is MUY entertainante

I think they would make me look huge. Marks had some that looked like winter hats for skiing! Some very boob flattering t shirts in h and m for a fiver grey or White or a sort ofmsheer animal print White scoop neck and turned back sleeves short tunic shape really nice. Mind youth weather is rubbish now. Do you get normal size in those bras as my size looked massive next to my normalmtype bras

Ha ha some of those shorts do think it's my funny shape. These ones are just a good fit I had chosen them before I saw the no slip thing.

They've just started doing the Deco Freya in a bright pink stripe & black and grey stripe. The matching knickers fit nicer than the plain coloured ones too. I went shopping for maternity bras and bought one, then both the new Freya Decos.

I like that purple one on the link. Is that one? It looks less foamy and the straps are nice.

cjbk1 · 01/04/2012 08:56

Iv always worn moulded bras as I'm
not a fan of nippage

Chubfuddler · 01/04/2012 10:16

I'm 33, the only moulded bra I have is strapless and I find the structure reassuring with no straps. Otherwise I don't like them.

I just long to wear my pretty 34c underwired bras (breast feeding and losing weight).

CroissantNeuf · 01/04/2012 10:36

I'm 45 and wear a mixture of moulded and non-moulded (but always underwired). However I only buy the ones with minimal padding in the moulded style otherwise its like having a pair of oven gloves stuffed down your top.

Also, WTF is it with the amounts of padding in the form of gel/chicken fillets and even inflatable airbags in bras these days?! Shock
I hate it when you see a nice bra hanging up but when you investigate its got about 2 inches of padding or an inflatable cushion in it?

MuslinSuit · 01/04/2012 10:56

I call them t-shirt bras, and have read this thread constantly reading 'moulded bras' as 'mouldy bras'.

But yes I don't wear anything else, and am stocking up on Calvin Klein ones when in sale or TK Maxx - lovely and soft.

Because the way women are protrayed in the media these days just serves to make the less well endowed of us feel even more inadequate. I don't think anyone who is generously endowed can ever fully understand what it is like to be an AA cup. Clothes don't fit properly and just hang emptily on your body and anything with darts in just emphasises how flat chested you are. We don't just want to wear T-shirts all the time.

Meglet · 01/04/2012 11:09

I only wear beige moulded bras as I feel the cold Grin.

Never wear padded ones though, I like having a small chest.

When I see the gel-filled bra's in the shops I can't resist squidging them

KatieMiddleton · 01/04/2012 11:10

I would think many large of nork people would absolutely understand. We didn't start out with big boobs!

The problems of clothes fitting is universal unless you are a 30B or C. At least if you're smaller you can get things taken in. Buying a bigger size for bigger boobs doesn't help because then it doesn't fit all over and it's a bigger job than popping some breast darts in. Sensible sizing for all!

foxinsocks · 01/04/2012 11:19

I always wear them in the summer to avoid giant nippleage. I find them really comfy, I can't see how they couldn't be comfy. Are people not bothered about nipple showing then? (having said that I recall a thread on here comparing nipples to coins and I recall having large ones Grin).

Dd and her mates all wear moulded. She's a B cup now and only 11 and would be mortified to show nipple at school!

CroissantNeuf · 01/04/2012 11:23

Bunbaker -I can understand what you mean about the AA/A cups maybe wanting extra (that was me until I reached late teens/early 20s!) but the ultra padded/gel filled ones are in all the larger sizes too.

As a B/C cup I really don't want or need an inflatable booster in my bra so really can't understand even larger sizes wanting them.
