Aire bra - or other T shirt bra - for a bigger busted woman - good or bad

I am about a 32F or 34E. I usually buy only well-fitted, good quality bras from rigby and peller or bravissimo. But as I am losing weight just now my boobs and back measurements keep changing and I dont want to fork out £30 plus on a bra I can only wear for a couple of months.

I am attracted to the idea of these bras (seen on infommercial) as they seem to allow for a bit of change. At least until I get to a more stable weight.

But I do think support is a must if you have bigger boobs. Has anyone with a fairly large bust tried these? And was it a yay or nay?

I haven't tried those but when I was pg and bf and my bra size was changing practically every week I bought quite a few bras from eBay. If you have a search for your size and the brands you usually like (I'd also recommend Panache, Freya, Fantasie, Fauve) and then filter it so you're only looking at new items, you can find some real bargains.

Nonononono, I bought one in size small and I'm a Size 12 with a D cup and really they are ok until you start moving! There isn't much support when walking quickly and you really wouldn't want to be running up the stairs! They are ok for slobbing round the house and easy access for bf but I wouldn't wear it shopping or out to work as I would be jiggling everywhere!

My mum bought two of these, she says they are very comfy but don't offer enough support to wear in public!

Thank you ladies. It did sound too good to be true. I will give ebay a go

I bought the Aire bra, and its great for wearing around the house , tothe gym, and even now under my dress shirts. It was great support after giving birth but I had to return mine once because of wrong size so make sure you get the right size bra so that the support can be there for sure. I got the ones that have padding inside, it made me look more lifted and perky, especially after giving birth that's exactly what you want to look like.

Have you looked at Boux Ave? I usually go to Bravissimo but have just bought some lovely ones here www.bouxavenue.com/brodie-embroidered-full-support-balconette-bra-duck-egg/100220-75dk from Boux Ave reduced to £7 in the sale. I have had to go up a back size and down 2 cup sizes compared to Bravissimo but the bras are fab. Like you am losing weight and am reluctant to keep buying new bras at £30 a piece.
