Help me find a cotton non wired bra

12 replies

MozzchopsThirty · 26/03/2018 21:47

You would think this relatively easy???

Nooooooo ........ it's impossible

I'm a 30FF in bravissimo
A 32E in boux Avenue

I'm having nipple surgery in 2 weeks and need a soft, non wired, do up at the back bra

I went to M&S, the woman measured my chest!!!!! Not my breasts or under, my actual frigging chest - then declared me a 34DD
Surprise surprise they all felt awful, riding up the back, too loose, masses of cup room and vile fabric

Bravissimo could only offer a sports bra in a G cup. A sports bra is no good as too tight & fitted.

Normal shops only do 30-32 in an A-C cup because slim women don't have boobs
Only women who are a 34-38 can have boobs D-G cup apparently Angry

Tried Debenhams and that was a similar story to M&S

Please help

Finding nice non wired bras is often tricky... Brastop have quite a few maternity bras that are non wire... they cater for a wide range of sizes. Good luck!

Try M&Co..

I’ve bought some really comfy non-wired cotton bras from Sloggi - not sure if they go up to your size but they’re worth a look.

Thanks for the John Lewis link, they look just the job and have good sizes.
M&Co are yet another company who thinks slim = small boobs
Larger = large boobs

I've had a lot of breast surgery and have had similar problems as I've got a 30 back- cup size was GG but more like DD post mastectomy and reconstruction .

I've not found what your looking for but have had to compromise. I've taken wires out of bras and used cotton handerchiefs as inserts.

Twins by Rosa Faia is a great non wired bra for small backs with big cups but it's not cotton. That's the one I use, with a hanky over the nipple if needed.

Would a maternity bra work? They are usually wire free

MozzchopsThirty · 27/03/2018 21:15

Crackingeggs it's ridiculous isn't it!!!

I hope you're recoveringThanks

Could you buy cotton underwired ones and take the wires out?

Showergel1 · 27/03/2018 22:18

Next have got molded but non-wired bras that i now love. Not sure of their sizing however.

Maternity bras are the way to go, I am a similar bust size and still wear mine many months post partum

CrackingEggs · 28/03/2018 13:02

I've got brilliant solid breasts without nipples now Mozz, so I don't wear a bra at all. It's so freeing not to have the niggling restrictive bra feeling.

Bra fitters have told me I should wear them but my breast surgeon said it would make no difference.

But yes to maternity bras, that mike work. There was an Australian supermodel who had her name to well made bras- they had small backs and larger cups- what were they called?
