Primark Bras

33 replies

thomson737 · 06/02/2016 18:03

Hello,

So I usually tend to shop for Primarks T-Shirt bras under the Secret Possessions range (usually smooth cup). I've heard mixed reviews about them. But I think they fit quite nicely for my body. I like the range of colours and I like the little centre bows.

What are your thoughts on their bras? And, are there any other stores (online too) that offer similar styles?

This is my first post so I apologies if have not gone about this the right way.

I love the primark matching bras and knickers. They don't last forever but long enough to be fantastic value (usually 1-2 years). Haven't really found anything to match them for the price

vanillabeauty · 06/02/2016 19:22

The size range is limited, meaning I can't buy any (I would, as I do like them).

IWannaHoldYourHand · 06/02/2016 19:37

I bought one of their new larger sized bras. It's quite pretty, I'm not sure it's going to stand up to long term wear, but it was cheap enough.

JustAnotherYellowBelly · 06/02/2016 21:05

I generally only wear Primark bras now. The only "bad" one I've had had the strap permanently twisted. Scissors, needle and thread was all it took and for the price I didn't mind.

IHaveBrilloHair · 06/02/2016 21:06

I like them too, and their matching sets.

BuzzardBird · 06/02/2016 21:07

Why do you want to know?

PennyHasNoSurname · 06/02/2016 21:07

I wear them too. I like Primark pants too. Only other place I buy bras from is Asda.

WhoisLucasHood · 06/02/2016 21:08

I've never found larger than a C cup in primark, what sizes do they go up to now?

WileHallion · 06/02/2016 21:08

The smallest band size they do is a 34.

Which means me and thousands of other women can't buy bras there. So stupid in this day and age as I agree, the designs are really nice.

JustAnotherYellowBelly · 06/02/2016 21:09

The closest one to me does 32 in band size...

PennyHasNoSurname · 06/02/2016 21:11

They sell 32 in mine too

WileHallion · 06/02/2016 21:17

Sorry yeah I meant 32. Although I don't think the do DD+ is in a 32? Could be wrong though.

Still useless for me though at a 30E Angry

VimFuego101 · 06/02/2016 21:18

I like them (and the underwear). I live in a different country so I stock up whenever I come to the UK.

alltouchedout · 06/02/2016 21:23

It's been a long time since I found a primark bra in my cup size that doesn't have a little metal ring connecting the cup and strap. And that metal ring brings me out in an itchy, lumpy rash that quickly becomes sore and scaly. It's a shame as I like the bras and the price.

IWannaHoldYourHand · 06/02/2016 21:25

Whois my local one had a range up to a G cup.

TondelayaDellaVentamiglia · 06/02/2016 21:28

I've seen smaller bras than a 34 in there.

I've seen 28/30/32 ....we've been Primark fans since forever for underwear esp for matching sets for teens.

....think you have to have a proper rake, as at their prices they're not going to have every item in every size.

WhoisLucasHood · 06/02/2016 21:33

I'll take a look next time I'm in. I like their underwear but I bought a load of Asda bras last week.

frikadela01 · 06/02/2016 21:38

Im not a fan
I wear a 38e and primarks version of 38e isn't even close... ridiculously tight and boobs spilling out, tried some bigger sizes on and couldn't find any that felt supportive
Enough.

JustAnotherYellowBelly · 07/02/2016 11:34

I measure as a 32D but find their 32C is far comfort

JustAnotherYellowBelly · 07/02/2016 11:35

SinglePringle · 07/02/2016 11:37

I hate the padding & the quality - they feel so cheap and itchy to me.

SuperFlyHigh · 07/02/2016 11:53

I've seen friends with Primark bras and they seem nice.

Such a bloody shame they don't do 28 or 30 and larger cups.

I have had their bikinis from there and very nice and comfy if that compares. Seems good quality for what you pay for and washed well too.

Funandgamesandfun · 08/02/2016 10:56

I buy their £2 tshirt bras and have no complaints. I do find that they come up small though and have to go up a couple of cup sizes

I've always bought M&S (since teenage then through pg and after changing shape)
I bought one or two from Tesco (ok) Sainsburys (very soft, unsupportive) Matalan (no support)

I was getting to the stage of binning loads of clothes and bought a couple of Primark (had to try a few to get my size right) they are surprisingly good Smile. Blamed DD, she buys them , I thought , 'mmm ok'

I need wider straps, underwire and 3 of the hook fasteners , so that limits a bit.
I never handwash, they go in a lingerie bag in the machine.
They might last a year maybe, but at the price I can have one a day , no problems.
