Not really style or beauty but my boobs are suffocating me at night

When I'm in bed my boobs seem to pool in a lump round my neck and squashes my windpipe Blush

Is there a bra or top thing I can wear at night that keeps them neat and tidy?!

Have you tried a low impact sports bra? Something that won't crush them, but stops them wandering!
I say a sports bra, (rather than standard bra) so the are no lumpy clasps to dig in.

A soft bra top. No wires, no fastenings, you just pull it on and it helps keep them where they ought to be. Sainsbury's have good ones that don't shrink in the dryer.

Bravissimo sell sleep bras and pj tops with. built in bras. I think D cup plus only though.

RhythmNBooze · 25/07/2017 20:37

Do they really stay put? Does it need to be quite tight, like a binding? I'm getting so fed up with them throttling me.

M&S do vest tops with hidden support. I wear those or sleep bras as I have the same problem :)

OlennasWimple · 25/07/2017 20:40

Lots of places do sleep tops - look for "secret support" or "hidden support". Debenhams and M&S are good places to start

spankhurst · 25/07/2017 20:42

A soft bralette?

Whatthefoxgoingon · 25/07/2017 20:45

I have H cups and have never found a supportive sleep bra that fits I really really need one

Ollivander84 · 25/07/2017 20:47

Molke. I've said it on other threads but I love their bras. I'm a 34K and they fit me perfectly

Bombardier25966 · 25/07/2017 20:50

On a positive, yey for boobs that still venture north! Mine are so far south it takes manual intervention to get them anywhere near my neck!

Whatthefoxgoingon · 25/07/2017 21:01

Never heard of Molke, link please Ollivander?

Ollivander84 · 25/07/2017 21:04

They're relaunching soon http://www.molke.co.uk updates usually on their FB

RhythmNBooze · 25/07/2017 21:27

Bombardier Unfortunately it's nothing to do with perkiness, more that they're like that slime stuff kids are into atm. They just ooze and then congregate under my chin.

Looking forward to seeing the Molke range when they launch.

Hopefully this doesn't offend anyone as I'm all covered but this is a Molke. I wear a medium band (but could go to a small I think) and a mega cup

bingohandjob · 25/07/2017 22:04

These are really comfy to sleep in www.uniqlo.com/uk/en/product/women-airism-bra-sleeveless-top-181495.html

I have two soft cup bras that are a bigger back fitting than my usual bras and also several bravissimo vest pj tops.

RhythmNBooze · 26/07/2017 10:22

For those who wear a sleep bra, how do you stop your boobs from spilling out the top when you're lying down? This is my problem. It's like I need a band at the top to keep them in place (almost like a reverse bra iyswim)

OP posts:
Rumtopf · 26/07/2017 10:25

I don't know, I tend to sleep on my side instead of my back. My problem is stopping them from sliding into my armpit!

I've got a couple of soft bralette type ones from sainsburys that have a back fastening but it's not uncomfy. They're a bit tighter across the top of the cup so might do the job? They come up big too btw, I'm a 36G/GG and ended up with a 38E.

That molke one looks great!

stumblymonkeyagain · 26/07/2017 10:33

I'm 38H and have recently bought a Bravissimo sleep bra.

Ain't nothing moving in that mother.

It covers every single portion of your breast so there's no chance of any spillage in any direction. Unfortunately they only come in baby pink which is not really my cup of tea but it goes under a nightie anyway....I'll find a pic (from Bravissimo, not me)...

stumblymonkeyagain · 26/07/2017 10:34

This is it....you're entirely enclosed so no chance for spillage..

And it holds you much more firmly than the photo suggests. It looks like a crop top in the photo but actually holds you in like a sports bra even though it doesn't have underwiring.

Agoddessonamountaintop · 26/07/2017 10:40

Yes Molke do look good, especially if you can get a small band and a big cup. I hate flopping around (30H) but haven't found anything that does the trick. The new Bravissimo sleepbra is weird, looked and felt like I had toilet roll holders strapped to my chest. A bralette with cup sizes is what's needed.

Agoddessonamountaintop · 26/07/2017 10:42

Crossed posts stumbly - looks rude but wasn't deliberate! Glad it suits some!

Agoddessonamountaintop · 26/07/2017 11:03

Found this Pillowbra. Looks god-awful but might do the trick as it comes up high.
I ordered a Royce sports bra which had a similar look, came up
high on the chest but the band was v. tight so you'd beed to size up and try a few.

Agoddessonamountaintop · 26/07/2017 11:05

This is the Royce one.
