inside the house bras for big boobs

N0tfinished · 23/01/2016 09:40

Hi

What I'm looking for is a bra you could wear knocking round the house or even sleeping in. Problem is that I have big boobs - 34gg

I have well fitting bras but after a whole day they hurt. It's also uncomfortable for me to go braless for long.

Is there a good non-wired bra that you could wear around the house that would be comfy & supportive? The sports bras do nothing for me- I get mono-boob, they look dreadful

Thanks!!

I also have 34gg boobs. I buy genie bras from anazon in size 16 for sleeping/lounging. Enough support that I'm under control but very soft and comfy

The cups on soft bras are not big enough for my 32GG.

N0tfinished · 23/01/2016 15:05

I tried those genie/soft cup bras & didn't find them that comfy. My boobs squished together in the middle or something.

I do remember having wireless ones from m&s that were good, but I was about 1 band size & 2 cup sizes smaller then Hmm

ASDA have got an ever improving range of bigger cup bras.

This one might be worth trying as it looks very comfy and is only £8. But you'd have to try a similar-volume-different-proportion size (they have it in a 36G).

( it's an ever improving range but it stops at G)

I got some really great and comfortable 34GG bras from M&S nursing range. They came in a twin set if i recall correctly anx you wouldnt know they were nursing bras. Non wired but padded and really supportive. I'd still use them but after a hospital stay diet my perky 34GGs have reduced to 32Ds Sad

What make are you wearing N0tfinished ? I used to love freya etc but they used to hurt buy the end of the day even when they were well fitted. I moved to Prima Donna they are twice the price but 10 times more comfortable, especially if you are a bigger cup size, I just wear them up until bedtime and then wear a sleep vest like one of these with built in support to sleep in.

i wear one of these sloggi , I am 36 g ..i definitely wouldn't wear out side unless wrapped in coat tbh but perfectly comfy for around the house.

Sainsburysdo these that are comfy but slightly sweaty as not cotton.

I'm a fan of the Bravissimo PJ tops too. I wear perfectly fitted bras but I am inclined to lounge on my sofa and I find that bras and lying down don't go terribly well!

ouryve · 23/01/2016 19:59

I'm a 32GG and like this one as a comfortable house (and school run if I'm not taking my coat off) bra. It gives me a decent shape with no monoboob.

it works best for me with the old way of measuring, though - a nice loose 36 band!

bimandbam · 23/01/2016 20:01

I have a Royce maternity bra I still wear now for sobbing around in. It's comfortable and supportive enough for the house and an occasional dog walk when I CBA.

Chimchar · 23/01/2016 20:02

Another vote for bravissimo pj tops...they're great. I have massive boobs and they are great...not an ideal look for going out, but great for around the house.

Smurfingreat · 23/01/2016 20:06

I'm the same size as you OP and I wear Bravissimo PJ tops too, they are so comfy. I never buy the matching bottoms though as they seem overpriced, and just get some nicer/cheaper ones elsewhere.

Smurfingreat · 23/01/2016 20:07

Oh and I'd recommend the lace top racer back ones in particular. Good support and hides any tummy!

cece · 23/01/2016 20:16

I wear Primark vest tops to sleep in and buy them a size smaller than I wear during the day. They are tight enough to give some support and I find them comfortable as they stretch. I am a 34H

hiccupgirl · 23/01/2016 21:07

I'm a 36FF and buy soft cup bra tops from Sainsburys (as ggirl linked to) in XL for lounging around. I also wore them as a bra for 6 weeks following major surgery that meant I couldn't wear a fitted bra. They're cheap and do a good job IME.

hugoagogo · 23/01/2016 21:51

Sainsbury cropped tops are brilliant, I wear them for bed and wore them after laparoscopic surgery last year too.

mrsvilliers · 24/01/2016 09:36

Another one who wears nursing bras in bed here. I like the support they give, mine are a bit too big now (due to no longer bfing) but still feels substantial enough. So maybe the right size would give proper support?

notapizzaeater · 24/01/2016 10:00

I am a 36k so feel your pain, I wear a horrible granny looking Doreen bra from triumph, no wires

N0tfinished · 24/01/2016 12:33

Thanks for all the answers

I think I'll invest in one of those bravissimo pj tops, and keep my eye out for a softer crop top like the ones you all linked. I'm in Ireland, so no asda or sainsburys!

Sorry I didn't reply earlier, my entire family (all male except me, natch) have taken to their beds with flu. Manflu & boyflu X 2. Of course I remain unaffected Hmm
