Can anyone find me a bra to suit my requirements, small boobs

After seeing several photos of myself I have realised I’m probably wearing the wrong bra. I hate wearing bras that fasten at the back, have wire or lots of padding so I mainly live in sports bras or crop tops but these make my boobs sit lower down and they look saggy. I’m only a B cup. I want to be comfortable but don’t want to look like I have boob sag. Is there such thing as a sports bra that gives a bit of lift? Can anyone recomend a comfy lifting bra?

First things first, please can you measure following this guide and post the measurements here? thebetterbracampaign.blogspot.com/p/fitting-advice.html?sm_au=iVVkTH4PkT1HFfH5

30”
33”

But not sure how accurate that is as I don’t have a tape measure (apart from a builders tape measure). Apparently this makes me a c cup but my boobs look lost in a C?

I am exactly your measurements. I wear either a 30D or a 32C depending on the style/brand. I have what are generally described as 'shallow boobs' (thanks for that) but that is what they are. I won't recommend the bras I buy as they are everything you don't want - slightly padded, underwired and fasten at the back!

30C bras are quite hard to track down so as WellTidy says, it would be worth trying similar sizes.

I'm not sure what's out there in a front fastener, without wires, that is going to give much lift. Perhaps something like the Panache Cleo bralets (e.g. Lyza). Would you be up for trying some wired, unpadded styles?

Sorry, I meant to say that there really isn't such a thing as a 'B' cup or a 'C' cup. The volume of a cup is dependant on the band size. For example, a 28F has the same cup volume as a 34D.

Maybe I’m just trying the wrong style bras, I find them uncomfortable around the sides and bottom of the strap (the bit closest to the boob), I used to wear normal bras but since wearing sports bras for the gym I no longer feel comfortable in normal/underwired bras.

I usually buy bigger around the back in hope it will be a bit more comfortable but then I have no lift in the boob.

I am a very similar size to you OP and also like sports' bras for comfort and a good fit. I bought front fastening bras from women.secret (I live in Spain but I believe you can order online from the U.K.) just last week and they are great.

I think to get what you want you do need a tighter band. When I lived in the U.K. I liked Calvin Klein bras. M&S bras get slated by Mumsnetters for having really uncomfortable wires.

This is the one of which I bought several last week.

They also have this style and this one.
