Comfortable, no-spill bra/bralette with wide band

8 replies

I think I'm looking for a compromise between a plunge bra and a bralette: low-cut, comfy, with a wide band (and wide straps if possible), which won't just spill me out every time I lean over. I prefer one that has to be done up to an over-the-head kind, ideally a sustainable/ethical and/or good quality brand I can buy online.

I'm usually a 36C/34D.

I recently got bralettes and pants from The Big Bloomers Company.

Really impressed with the quality and didn't find them too expensive. The bralettes have a really wide band and the straps are pretty substantial too.

sakura that does look lovely and comfy (good colours too) but I don't like the pull on kind and I really want a plunge style. The plunge front is probably why I'm having the problem with falling out, I think I need one with a bit of lace or something at the front of the cup.

Don't know how many of your criteria you'll feel this hits, but I find these very comfortable:

They do a larger cup size too, if needed, although I don't know if that's padded/moulded cups.

Whitney lol I know, my criteria are letting me down Grin I want the moon on a stick. That bra looks great but it's a bit high at the front.

The bra in the photos is the sort of shape I'm looking for, but the band and straps are too narrow at the back.

Hanro is very comfortable - use some organic and bamboo fabrics
