The perfect Strapless bra

7 replies

Hello all.
I know This is probably discussed a lot on here but...
Strapless bras, I always feel like they are pulling my boobs down in an uncomfortable way (they're implants so not really squashable which probably isn't helping)

size 30 e/f

I've seen loads of lovely tops I want to wear but I need a bra to wear!

I've tried the wonderbra one on a few times but I feel like I'll find it tight on my lower ribs. I find myself buying them and being disappointed.

Please tell me the perfect one exists!

I had a fantastic one from Marks and Spencer’s a couple of years ago.

In my book, perfect bra and strapless is a contradiction. Sorry!

There isn't one....however the wonder bra ultimate strapless is pretty good it doesn't seem to need constant pulling up and gives fairly decent support (I'm a 30GG) without just squashing everything into a monoboob. They're quite bulky though which can be an issue for more delicate outfits.

The Freya Deco one might be more comfortable for you. It’s quite generous so go for the E.

Another option may be a basque. Fantasie are very good. Poir Moi is another option although their sizing is erratic.

With some tops, l just opt for a pretty bra of a contrasting colour and let the straps show. I have a turquoise bra with delicate pink roses on the straps. You could get away with it on the beach as a bikini top.

Letting the straps show doesn’t work with everything though. Avoid beige, greying white or those awful clear plastic straps that not only are sweaty, they twinkle in the sun.

Thank you all some good suggestions!

Haha yes I remember in the mid 00s when plastic straps first came out and we all thought they were all so unvisable Grin

I'm 30f/g and I got fitted in Rigby and Peller for a strapless bra recently. The brand is Prima Donna and it does honestly stay up, none of the high street ones work imo. It was £80 or something equally ridiculous but it'll last me years.
