Whoever recommended those eBay bandeau bras...

...thank you!!! Thanks

I can't find the thread they were mentioned on as I didn't comment or watch it. I can't even remember what the thread was about but I bought them and they're ace. I've been looking for something that gives a bit of support and smooshes my boobs into place but isn't a proper bra for AGES.

Link in case anyone wants it (I'm not advertising, just thought I'd share)

Apologies if it's not clicky as I'm on the app.

Ps If anyone else has any amazing eBay bargains like this please share - I am also the proud owner of the flying squirrel jumpsuit and the cheapo harem trousers Grin

Tempted by these - do they stay up ok without needing to be adjusted? I’m always leery of strapless things.

Rainbowknickers · 12/07/2019 08:54

I think it depends on your boobs-if your bigger than a c cup they’ll just fall down but they do work if your smaller of chest (same with those bras that are just sticky cups)

TR888 · 12/07/2019 09:55

Are they quite thick on the nipple area?

harriers · 12/07/2019 10:39

I'm a D cup and they stay up really well. They're a good thickness; no nipple outline! I've just washed and tumbled the back one and it's come out fine.

I got the large - size 14 and usually take a 38D.

What size do you think I need for 34 dd

harriers · 12/07/2019 18:28

@lindyloo57 There is a size guide thing on the eBay listing, but purely based on my larger back fitting size L, I reckon you want a Medium or smaller.

I think I will order the med, just hope a DD boobs will fit in

IHaveBrilloHair · 12/07/2019 19:05

Do they hitch them up a bit, I have small boobs but lime a bit of hitching.

harriers · 12/07/2019 19:21

No, there is definitely no hitching. Flattening, yes. Grin

Crikey, not for me then, even without the hitching the last thing they need is flattening!

Haworthia · 12/07/2019 21:11

Ooh, these sound right up my street! I gave up proper underwired bras for bralettes, sports bras and stretchy crop tops. The other weekend I had to dig out an old underwired strapless bra and it was agony!

(Bought the squirrel suits too! Haven’t worn one yet, it hasn’t really been hot enough).

breakfastpizza · 13/07/2019 14:17

OMG - I bought these off a reseller on Amazon a couple of months ago. Hands down the best bandeau bras I've ever worn. SO comfy and they actually stay up! And the back is very wide so no unsightly back fat bulges. Grin

ALittleBitAlexis · 05/08/2019 17:47

Sorry for bumping this old thread, but I got these bras after seeing this post and want to give them a huge thumbs up! They're not underwired and they have no padding at all so there's no lift, but they're the comfiest bras I've ever had.

I wore them all through a recent holiday, and I just forgot I was wearing anything - which is unheard of for me, I'm always adjusting everything but these just stayed in place - no hitching at all! During the holiday I unexpectedly found myself walking miles up and down a mountain in 36 degree weather, and it even kept everything comfortable and in-place during that (I'd have normally worn a proper sports bra if I'd had prior warning).

I've washed them a couple times now and so far so good, I don't expect them to last forever but they haven't fallen apart in the first wash.

I hate sounding like a shill, but I'm really glad I saw this post so I thought I should bump it in case anyone else needs comfy bras...

Hi - my phone isn't playing ball with the link, and am desperate for a good bandeau bra for post-shoulder surgery. Could anyone post a screenshot of the bras and I can find them on eBay. Thanks

The eBay seller is purple*patch

siddis · 26/01/2020 15:31

Not sure if photos attached first time...
