Can anyone recommend a non-wired bra please?

My wife wears bras that are slightly padded with wired cups, size 40E. Recently the wires in all of all of her bras, brand new and old, have popped out at the sides. This morning's appearance of the wire during a TEAMS meeting was the final straw 🤣

She would like to try non-wired bras but we are in temporary lockdown here so she can't go shopping in M&S, Debenhams or JL.
Your recommendations would really help her to decide which bras to order online.
Thank you in advance.

Can't post a link or upload a pic for some reason but I've bought a few of these recently and will not go back to wearing a normal underwired bra again.

They are comfy and supportive, the straps don't slip down, they don't ride up or dig in. Getting the right size can be a bit trial and error though.

They shouldn't be doing that. I hope they arent going in the washing macine?

Bralettes are as comfy as vest tops but provide support. I like Bravissimo's Jade www.bravissimo.com/products/jade-bralette-ln703/#orange-ln703ora, which is great for WfH, I couldn't imagine sitting in a wired bra all day on my sofa! Go up one cup size (or better, order a few sizes to try and then return).

Is she definitely a 40E? What's her ribcage size when measured with a tape?

Thanks both pps!
Good point re measuring, I think she has just been randomly buying them!

I will measure later and report back.

Curvy Kate Bralette is comfortable with no wires but I would measure and check size before ordering anything

Molke.

You won’t go back.

M&S Flexifit. I've worn nothing else for months, even before lockdown! Also hear very good things about Sloggi.
