Moulded pull on bra.

I can't find one.
I need a soft bra due to surgery and all the ones I have bought have removable pads that get curled up in the wash and areareal pain to get back into place.
I need a pad as very flat chested but I've been searching for a padded pull over the head bra with permanent padding rather than removeable and I can't find one.

@Makeuplover That one is nice but the smallest size is a 16 unfortunately. Also it has removable pads
@RobinRose This one also has removable pads.

Is it just me that has this problem? I have resorted to sewing the pads in place. I guess what I want is a normal padded bra that pulls over the head. I had a lumpectomy over a year ago but still get breast pain and the soft ones are much kinder.

@Boph oh sorry I assumed it didn't have removable padding! How about something like this? www.calvinklein.co.uk/bralette-modern-cotton-000qf6129ewbw I find the removable pads can be a pain to get back in place too!

Not pull on but the uniqlo moulded obes are really comfy. Also their bra tops are brilliant

I have several by Sloggi , bought in John Lewis . Needed them for the same reason as you . They are perfect and we’re comfortable from the start . I wear a size 36 ( I’m virtually flat in cup size after my surgery ), hope this helps you .

Uniqlo is your friend here!. All moulded, wireless and don't curl up in first wash.

I live in these...

And this style gives a bit more support:

Also worth checking out their Bra tops

Just looked at the label more closely :
Sloggi Zero Feel Bralette

I wear size M in it
My chest size is 36 ins

I remember that because I was buying the bras after breast surgery I wasn’t charged VAT on them . It was raised very sensitively with me - sane as at M&S where I bought some soft bras in the Rosie range, think they were for sports wear .

Oh thanks everyone, several contenders here. The uniglo and Next ones look great.
@Gonegrey31 I had looked at sloggi but couldn't find one without removable pads, that one looks good. I always assumed post surgery bras (and VAT free) were for full mastectomy.
I'm going to order a few different ones.

Just reporting back.
I have bought a uniqlo (£20) and the sloggi zero feel(£33).
I love them both, they are exactly what I wanted.
This almost a top and would show if I wore anything other than a round neck top but is comfortable and gives shape. I would normally buy a size 12 top or 36A bra but I got large as I thought they were small fitting and it fits.
The sloggi is more bra shaped so better for t shirts. I got medium which fits fine.
I will probably buy both again.
