Soft bras - any good for big boobs

Hello

I keep seeing ads for super-soft and comfortable bras popping up on Pinterest etc. Can anyone tell me whether these actually work for larger boobs - or will they just look flat and 'monoboob'? I've got a few for sleeping in, but they were fairly cheap and I definitely wouldn't wear them out and about as they aren't exactly flattering. I'm around a 38DD, have always tended to wear underwired M&S or Debenhams. Maybe I'm getting old... my sleeping bras are so comfy, I wondered if there were any of this type that can still look good under clothes? Any recommendations?

Not if you want any support they're not. I tried some once and they just kept mine warm while they rested on my tummy 😂😂

The ones from those ads are total rubbish. But I have just got one from Gap that is actually supportive. I'm a DD but only a 30 back, and I used their size guide and got a small. I thought I might have thrown money away on what would end up a sleep bra, but I love it and it's so comfortable. Only downside is getting it on and off over my head!! It’s called the live in bra.

All soft bras Iv tried have folded over at the bottom

So no support at all! I look a bit like Iv tucked it under my boobs.

I'd like one to wear in bed but Iv not found one I like in materials that aren't things like scratchy lace at a price I'm willing to pay.

I've just got a live in bra and it's excellent. You'll need a large or extra large

Same position as you, but my expensive, properly measured bras have become so uncomfortable that I don't wear them any more. I do wear the soft comfortable bras during the day now, and no, they don't do much for you but are a tad better than nothing!

I'm not sure I qualify as large at 32E but I've got some lovely bras from Peacocks which are soooo comfy and don't give me monoboob. I take an 8 in it, as loads of stretch.

The most comfortable bra I own is actually a sports bra - not the compressive sort I'd use for running. The band isn't too tight, it's supportive without being constrictive.
