Bralets for big boobs

Any recommendations on where to shop? I'm a 34E/DD (not long stooped breastfeeding so hopefully they'll go back to my previous baby 32DD on day!) but can't find any big enough in the cup and small enough in the band. Grateful for recommendations

I have some, I think I bought them from figleaves, lacy ones.

They are the only vaguely bra like item I can wear comfortably.

They offer very, very little support though.

I'm 32FF and I've recently bought and returned several bralets from Savage X. The fit was ok (I tried on L and XL), but offered absolutely zero support. Pretty but no support.

I'm going to stick with my Uniqlo bra tops. If you find any that are even slightly supportive, let us know!

ohwerehalfwaythere · 25/02/2020 13:39

Yes that is a downside of no support. I'll keep looking!

Chantelle make a bralet that gives just enough support for wearing around the house. I'm the same size as you and find the XL is a decent shape and very comfortable.

Following with interest - can't bear wearing wired bras anymore

LeaderoftheAteam · 25/02/2020 15:24

Bravissimo! I haven't got huge boobs but enough that I cant buy standard bralets without my tits escaping. Bravissimo are still s, m, l ect but I went to be measured and tried them on and fits perfectly.

snaxinyourslacks · 25/02/2020 15:36

Molke! I am a recent convert and find them supportive of my 36hh. Some of the colours and patterns are a bit too bright but they also do plain ones. I don't think I'd wear a regular bra again.

LemonBreeland · 25/02/2020 15:39

ASOS doe some larger ones, as well as Bravissimo

CremeDeSudo · 25/02/2020 16:54

Yep Bravissimo! Not as good as wired still though

KatharinaRosalie · 25/02/2020 22:02

molke

starsinyourpies · 26/02/2020 06:28

M&S Dd+ one is pretty good

twolittleboysonetiredmum · 26/02/2020 06:35

Also interested and just looked at molke. Do they push your boobs together so they sweat in between? The pictures look like they do and I hate that otherwise they look brill

VirtualHamster · 26/02/2020 06:41

Zara bralette from Bravissimo comes in sizes other than s/m/l

The bravissimo ones in s/m/l are just as rubbish as everywhere else if you need a smaller band (But twice the price)

AHippoNamedBooBooButt · 26/02/2020 06:44

I came on here to reccomend molke as well. My boobs don't sweat if it's out on properly

Imtoooldforallthis · 26/02/2020 06:45

I'm a 36f and like the jockey bralet.

ExpletiveDelighted · 26/02/2020 07:04

I've got a Molke. It's not supportive in the way a wired bra is, but unlike other bralettes I've tried there's no risk of falling out of it when you bend forward. However I don't find it very comfy, the band is very thick and it feels odd where it crosses over in front, lopsided. Overall I wouldn't recommend it.

Ohffs66 · 26/02/2020 07:11

I'm the same size and weirdly my favourite one is from Morrison's and it was about 6 quid! It's very plain and stretchy, I bought a large but I think medium might have been better for the band size, there is lots of fabric for coverage so I think it would still work. I bought a similar one in John Lewis for 3 times the price a while ago, it's an XL but it's still too small.

Ohffs66 · 26/02/2020 07:14

It's this one. Not very sexy but very comfy and reasonably supportive, the material is kind of like a thick pair of tights

Sloggi Zero range. Bliss.

KatharinaRosalie · 26/02/2020 08:35

twolittle one part of the fabric goes cleverly between your boobs, so no sweaty uniboob issue, like with most soft bras.

I am an FF and find Molkes as supportive as wited bras - have bought according to their sizing chart. It has to be quite tight so it's abit of a struggle to get it on, otherwise it will be too loose.

ExpletiveDelighted · 26/02/2020 22:13

That in between the boobs bit is what makes my Molke uncomfy, it rubs and feels lopsided.

teta · 26/02/2020 22:35

Sloggi Zero feel . Nothing else is as comfortable.

jcurve · 27/02/2020 10:54

Sloggi Zero Feel for me too. I’ve ditched all my wired bras. I’m smaller (28E/F) but find them fine in the back.

Those Molke bras are quite something (and not in a good way). There is taking a stance for comfort... and then there’s Molke.

BBBear · 27/02/2020 11:01

Sloggi zero feel for me too (32E). I hate wearing wired bras now.
