Comfy bra advice big back & big boobs 46DD or 48D

Any advice please for new bra? Tried several from Figleaves (as have a good discount code) but had to send them all back based on my measurements and comments they are recommending 46DD or 48D!!

I know I need to loose weight but current bra’s Rosa Faia 44E with an extender is far too tight and uncomfortable and every so often I keep getting circular feeling pains in one breast. In England in lockdown so can’t get measured also wondered about Big Bloomers or similar?

Thanks

PS also tall so shoulder straps digging in.

Yes, in desperation as not going anywhere WFH and old bra’s have had their days. I have just ordered an interim bra from Big Bloomers for an interim although it probably won’t be anywhere near supportive enough. But will give it a go.

Im around the same size- I cannot recommend Triumph Doreen Non Wired Bras enough. Used them for years, a real game changer. The are so, so comfortable. Whatever brand you get, look for non-wired though as they are so ridiculously comfortable, forget anything with wires.

Big girl here - currently a 40 ff but was a 46f at my largest....I recommend Elomi. Found them pretty comfy and although not cheap do go up to big sizes/ cups. I currently wear next underwired sports bras - hard to get on but really comfy once they are on!

Thanks I tried the Doreen bra when I was pregnant and found it really uncomfortable and couldn’t get away with it at all.

I recommend Fantasie as a brand. If you get a balconette one with the side support you don't get any boobs going east-west as they tend to bring the boobs out from under your armpits.

Ah, a problem with bras... In my case, only https://lepodium.com/ helped to find an appropriate bra for me.

I visited "Victoria's Secret" but there was nothing for my size of
48D. I guess that in one day there will be only online shops with the possibility to find everything we need... Especially women.
