Another bra problem

30 replies

TheGirlOnTheLanding · 28/06/2019 08:05

I have followed the threads on here and measured and got what I thought was the right bra size.

But recently, I'm finding the underwires dig in uncomfortably on one side under my armpit. Looking through old threads suggested I should go up a cup size, but when I've tried the cups are half empty. I used to wear plunge style but now I'm wearing full cup style and even then the top of the cup doesn't quite touch my skin. I think my boobs have dropped and splayed with age Sad and quite possibly have become asymmetrical! Any suggestions for a better style/fit to try? (Currently in M&S full cup underwired, too small for Bravissimo, much prefer somewhere I go and try on as I don't want to order dozens and have the hassle/expense of returning them.)

Also - no one should get measured in M&S or Debenhams, it’s honestly criminal how wrong they get it. There’s no reason whatsoever to add 4 inches to the band, you wouldn’t measure your waist and then buy trousers 4 inches bigger, why do it with bras? If you’ve been measured in either shop please do the BOB calculator immediately

Just go to Bravissimo. On the website they list over 100 items in a 36D. I refuse to believe you wouldn't find something that fits comfortably in Bravissimo.

I try John Lewis they are great they measured to stop bra pain and it worked. Smaller bra band size and a larger cup

If you were falling out of cups then that size was too small. Try balonettes and half cups, they are much better than full cups if you have lost some volume. But they have to fit - even if you scoop all the boob into cups and breathe in, there should not be any overspill.
