Silke Wrap bras - yes or no?

I saw an ad for these. Anyone tried them? Was your normal size the right fit? Were they supportive enough for big boobs? Mine are 40DD (ish) but I haven't had a new bra for years - I keep buying them online but they never feel as comfy as my knackered old one!

I ordered one, heard nothing from them for a month, chased them up, got a very dismissive email from them so requested my money back as they had no idea when it would be dispatched. I did get my money back.

Have you measured recently? DD cups aren’t huge.

The old method of adding inches has put a lot of women in the wrong band size.

Mine are 40DD (ish) but I haven't had a new bra for years - I keep buying them online but they never feel as comfy as my knackered old one!. Could it be that you are no longer 40DD and the old one is comfy because it’s got more give?

Blush I might have gained a little weight tbh but I have ordered up to 44DD, it's not that they aren't big enough, more not a good fit.

Fluffy, what is the new method of measuring?

I'm 32 F. I fit in the medium on the tightest hooks. I absolutely love it, its super comfortable and supportive enough but its not good for little (narrow) people.

OP, for many years I thought I was a 40DD then I had a proper fitting in Debenhams and came out as a 38G!

Hmm I haven't tried them, but I am always rather sceptical of things that are advertised in those info-mercial things.

Definitely a "no". It seemed like a great design but the sizing is off (cup size is way too small for the size indicated in their size chart); their delivery time is misleading (1 month if you stay on top of them and press for delivery date); and it is very difficult to find a return address or instructions ( I still have not found it and they won't return my email request for one). Overall, it's just a hassle nobody needs. If you still want to give it a try, don't order more than one because once you place your order they offer add-on bras for a large discount and that's just plain annoying. They sent a coupon code so if you want to give it a try, us imspecial25 for 25% off. The bras seem soft so if the company had a bit more service and integrity, and got the sizing right, this could be a good thing.

Hi Op, I haven't bought one but if you put wrap bras on Amazon search they come up, different brand name look exactly the same but cheaper.
