sort of a bra intervention....but not quite

[OneLittleLady]

I've been various sizes over the last couple of years due to weight fluctuations. Size is not really the issue though. My rough size is 32F/30FF for guidance though

Due to a debilitating medical condition, I can no longer wear bras at all. every single bra, in every single size I have put on in the last six months has left me with actual CUTS in my skin that bleed and have left scars on my sides. This is true right from my actual size through to up to the 42 I desperately tried to try and get some relief from the cuts, the scabs and the bleeding. I have also tried a smaller back and bigger cup in case the issue was the bras moving and twisting but no luck with that either.

So anyway, it's now apparent that to get any sort of level of comfort I either have to go completely support free and risk smuggling peanuts or I need to wear elasticated bottom soft 'crop tops' (i've tried sports bras too and no dice here either)

which brings me to my question, who and what brands/shops make decent, semi supportive crop tops like this that are not overly expensive as they are washed and worn a lot so I don't expect the elastic to last long? The ones I currently have are from BHS but I can't see that they have any right now.

Any advice appreciated

I bought a pack of 2 from tkmaxx a while a go.
They didn't cost much and wash very well.
I live in mine.
I have 32f boobs but cannot bear a proper bra

Sloggi crop tops are good.

I bought some nice ones for sleeping in from Victorias Secret.

I have some from Sainsbury's of all places. I'm a 32G or FF and wear them to bed but they are reasonably supportive anyway.

I am about the same size as you (currently trying to find exactly the right bra and finding most 30Es/32DDs slightly small) and like the Debenhams crop tops: www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_152010851980_-1
An 8-10 is fine at my current size. The tops also have removable pads.

Asda have a few, if you look on the website most of them are in a section called comfort bras...but I've seen more in store so they must have them somewhere less on the website.
