I’ve removed all wires from my bras....

[SukiTheDog]

I usually wear Triumph Amourette style in various colours. I’m a 36D or 38C depending on what the shop has in stock. Recently, the wire support is driving me bonkers. So, I’ve removed them all (last night, watching Netflix after a few 🍷🍷🍷).

This morning I feel comfier but.... can anyone recommend a bra that give good support without wires? Thanks.

Your cup size is too small if you get a four boob look

These are the ones I have. So comfy, full cup. No four boobs.

Where are those from suki?
I am looking for a bra that has a seamless cup, but not those massively padded t-shirt bras that seem to be in all the shops.

Ah I have found them. Not available in my size obviously, the quest continues.

Hugo I quite like this style from M&S. They change the design every few months. I would never get measured at M&S in a million years but once you know your proper size and there is a 20% Sparks code around, their bras are great value, there is usually a choice of colours and they last the same (before the back fasteners wear out) as Fantasie and other expensive brands.

Fantasie used to do a great seamless bra but for some unfathomable reason they discontinued it and replaced with this seamed version. It gets great reviews though so I may be tempted to try next time there is a Figleaves code around.... HTH

Thanks blody I've never tried a minimiser, I worry they wouldn't be comfortable enough to wear all day.

hugo have you checked Fantasie Rebecca?

I have a bra measuring question, (sorry to hijack op)

When you lean forward to measure the cup size, do you not get a false measurement if your boobs are like empty sacks? Asking for a friend

"When you lean forward to measure the cup size, do you not get a false measurement if your boobs are like empty sacks? Asking for a friend"

Perhaps I am your friend?!?

Yes, you might need to size down in the cup if your boobs are very deflated. And also try a variety of cup shapes, as some definitely work better than others.

Slightly off topic, but have you seen these post surgery bras from M&S DailyMailisShite?

Thanks rose I'll tell my friend

I don't think I am built for Victoria secret
the fantasie Rebecca, might work- I can't tell how padded it is...

I would not call it padded. It's a so-called spacer bra, so has a very thin light moulding only.

Uniqlo do some amazing wireless bras (none in my size though )

Hmmm...my problem is (I think) that I may be expecting too much of a bra. I’m 56. I don’t want anything that looks too “push up/separate/shape/maximise/minimise. I don’t want Playtex Cross Your Heart, either.

I’ve not managed to get measured as yet so, can’t really order anything, til I know. And then, there’s the problem that styles in bras can mean a slight tweak in size. It’s no bloody wonder I’m walking around feeling like I’m in a whalebone bodice, all at vast expense.

Most places do non-wired bras, from supermarkets to specialist shops. Admittedly a really small section, but they are there nonetheless - you just have to hunt. I never wear wires.
I have to say it makes a real difference to get the right size though. When MN directed me to the braguru, it was fantastic.

Following, big help. Thank you everyone.

What clothes size are you op? I'm am 18 and a 36 back. I reckon your sizing is properly out. Go get measured and not at m&s!

Curvissa have a good selection of unwired online. Some quite pretty ones even in larger sizes. In terms of comfort from a larger size perspective, depth of underband is important, width of straps and sides that are cut high enough. I like a bra with 'side support' as it suits my shape and sort of hoicks everything up. A bra fitter once suggested it and they were spot on.
Mis Mary of Sweden are a 'substantial' brand that I end up coming back to lots, wellmade and a decent price. I buy cheaper cotton rich bras for the summer / dossing about at home. There's a huge variation between brands even when marked the same size so trying on is crucial.
