Possibly stupid question about bras

How many should you have, ideally? I think I need more but the properly fitted ones that are comfy are so expensive.

It depends on how often you plan to wear them. I would go to a proper bra shop not a dept store and get a fitting. If you try on one that you're happy with, buy 2 to start with, not in white or an odd colour. You can buy more after you have tried wearing one all day.

I think you're better with two really comfortable well fitting ones than with ten that are uncomfortable.

So I'd say two as a minimum (three if you need a sports bra as well) and anything more than that is a bonus.

If you find one that is perfect, buy several, and look after them.
Be prepared to be a bit alarmed by what size they tell you you are, but the right bra will be worth it.

After my last fitting I got 2 from a good brand then I found one in Asda on sale for £4 so got it then a couple of months later I found a soft cup bra for £3 and got that.

In reality Iv worn 2 of them regularly the £4 Asda one and the ultimo one.

I have 5 - a black one, two slightly differently shaped nude ones, a bright blue one and a strapless one. Does me for everything I need.

There all Bravissimo and weren’t cheap, but they fit me properly and will last a while.

KirstenRaymonde · 15/04/2018 18:56

They’re*!

One dark
One light/nude
One pretty one

I go through amazon usually, can’t afford bravissimo prices as they tired and less effective after 6 months

Thanks all. That helps! Now to find the time to get them! Smile

I’ve got about seven right now and it feels proper luxurious. Had a nightmare finding any after I went up to a bigger size. Figleaves sale sorted me right out.
