Genie bra

I have just ordered a pack of genie bras - I find "well fitted" bras so uncomfortable. Will they be ok to wear every day with T shirts and jersey dresses?

Link?

I use a genie bra for a martial arts class I go to. It's much more comfortable than a 'proper' bra, but I'm still happy to take it off after the class is done. It's quite a nice shape so I think it would be fine under a t-shirt.

Sorry, I don't know how to link! Thank nooka! Hopefully I will find them better than normal bras!

They look like this

I think it probably varies from person to person. I've got a couple - they are comfortable but they don't give much support.

Are your bras really well fitted though? Genie bras wouldn't cut it for me, but I find my Bravissimo scaffolding very comfy.

I don't otherwise wear a bra at all. I'm not very busty so it's not really a big issue. I've been fitted a few times in John Lewis and other similar places and always told to wear a size that to me is very constraining (just the strap around the ribs). Tried the mumsnet intervention fitting but none of my local bra places had the size suggested, and when I scaled down the cup/up the strap they result was incredibly uncomfortable.

The only reason I tolerate the genie is because the strap is stretchy, but I wouldn't want to wear it for more than a couple of hours.
