It's this one twin pack from Debenhams two for £25 - Gorgeous DD lace underwire D+ t-shirt bra.

It's worth trying a few different sizes on o get the best fit. I bought this colour way and a white / nude combination. Never in my life have I had four comfortable bras at the same time. The are underwired but it was so comfortable that I slept in it.

They are slightly padded but have a soft cup; supportive without massive shoulder and back straps and look pretty. The lace is very soft.

I'm a 32DD and buy bras 2 for £10 from Matalan.

Smallangryplanet · 22/04/2017 19:55

I've had some twin packs from Matalan and M&S. I've found the bigger my cup size, the less comfortable the bra. I had vouchers as Debenhams isn't somewhere I'd usually try. These are the most comfortable and best looking bras I've had for years. It's definitely worth shelling out a bit more.

Interesting. Took DD bra shopping today. She's a 30DD and Debenhams was where we ended up buying. Had expected M&S to be better. Debenhams cheaper than I expected!

I buy those, they are great. Im 38ff

drspouse · 22/04/2017 20:23

I need new bras (too many Easter eggs), dare I try slightly padded?
Was a 32F, probably more like 34 now.

Smallangryplanet · 22/04/2017 20:23

Shesnotme, they really are, glad they are for you too. I had a purple one in a sale ages ago and wore it out, it was my go to bra. I do t work for Debenhams. I have actually have two breasts instead of a proper bum/ big shelf.

shesnotme · 22/04/2017 20:25

I keepbuying them... Love them

drspouse · 22/04/2017 20:26

Hmm I can't find a padded one in that colour combo. Do you have a link?

Smallangryplanet · 22/04/2017 20:26

Don't be put off by the slightly padded. Just thick enough to stop nipples poking through but very soft. I don't like the soft shell cups because i end up with four breasts. They wash great too. Bra Nivarna for the large of breast.

Great rec OP, I have these too, I was a 30f pre pregnancy and they were super comfortable and soft as well as supportive - looking forward to wearing these again

Littleelffriend · 22/04/2017 20:28

They fall apart

Smallangryplanet · 22/04/2017 20:28

I had one for about two years and wore it every other day. I wore it out going through the washer and dryer.

They look nice but I hate moulded cups.

MapMyMum · 22/04/2017 20:36

Theyre out of stock in all sizes for my country :/

Smallangryplanet · 22/04/2017 20:37

I don't like moulded cups either. They aren't formed, they are very thick fabric.

I love Debenhams bras.

I am a 36E and bought one of their 'plunge' bras earlier this week. Super comfy and my boobs actually sit in the right place hurrah!

Gymbunny86 · 22/04/2017 20:59

I was surprised by how well Asdas bras fit.
I went for a weekend away and forgot a white bra to go under a specific top. Nipped to Asda in the faint hope that they'd have something. I was surprised to find that their entice range goes up to a 42G. 36G was true to size, fitted well and for £8 can't grumble!

Longdistance · 22/04/2017 21:02

I have a drawer full of those in various colours Blush

Longdistance · 22/04/2017 21:04

They aren't mounded cups. Just material in the cups.

drspouse · 22/04/2017 22:41

Ah they say non-padded!
I have ordered some on that basis!

QueenRefusenik · 22/04/2017 22:46

I have one of these and I wouldn't call it padded if that's putting anyone off. It's pretty comfy and I'm quite happy with it as a replacement for the much-missed BHS range! I'm usually a 34e and wear a 34f in this, so maybe think about going up a cup size

DramaAlpaca · 22/04/2017 22:52

I have several of those in different colours. They fit really well, are very comfy and the cups aren't moulded at all.

I'm actually wearing one at the moment so in the interests of research for the thread I've had a feel of the fabric and can report that the cups are made of a double layer of silky fabric.

They are my favourite everyday bras. They also wash well & survive tumble drying.

Smallangryplanet · 22/04/2017 23:00

I'll definitely try different types from Debenhams now.

Even though they are the same style, I have different size cups and band width for each of the two sets. I never try stuff on but recommend you do if you can get to a store.

Bah. No 30" band size.
