these ones ... tuclothing.sainsburys.co.uk/p/DD%2B-Brown-Nude-Underwired-Full-Cup-Bra/139074127-BrownNude

I've been wearing Fantasie ones at £40ish a pop for last few years and when the ones I had gave up the ghost ...left tit plummeted during a meeting like in a Jilly Cooper story, I had to look for a few replacement that didn't break the bank. I've just sent for a few different sizes of the ones above and I've found my size in Fantasie is exactly the same in these only more comfortable and a hell of a lot cheaper !
Thoroughly recommend

Their sports bras are epic too! Just don't get the ones with the front zips. They open when I do chest weights Blush I always have a vest top on over the top but still!

Sunbird24 · 24/10/2021 17:56

I wear the Sainsbury's zip front stretchy crop tops for work, really comfortable and give good shape, plus removable (thin) pads which help when it’s cold out!

I always wear Fantasie too but the ones with the side support. Do you think these are as good as those?

dementedpixie · 24/10/2021 18:10

They don't do my size plus they miss out FF so G won't be a true G

Mistlewoeandwhine · 24/10/2021 18:12

Great. I need some new cheapo bras.

GoodnightGrandma · 24/10/2021 18:12

Ive started wearing their no zip sports bra for work instead of a bra, very comfy but a bugger to get on and off.

No 30 back

BusterGonad · 24/10/2021 18:15

They look really good actually, and it's nice to see the model wearing her correct size and showing that a correctly fitted bra will give you a few lumps and bumps because it's doing its job and supporting your breasts.

BusterGonad · 24/10/2021 18:16

dement why won't the G be a true G?

dementedpixie · 24/10/2021 18:18

@BusterGonad

dement why won't the G be a true G?
Because they miss out FF so G will be FF unless they jump 2 cup sizes between F and G
dementedpixie · 24/10/2021 18:20

Their size guide is awful too as they add inches to the back size

BusterGonad · 24/10/2021 18:25

I was on the understanding an FF was a F plus 1/2 a cup, not a full cup size up. If there's no FF I go for a G or go to a 36F. That seems to work for me. (34FF).

CactusFlowers · 24/10/2021 18:25

I’ll have to try them.

The primark luxury t shirt bras are also good for £8. Just a shame they only do two colours.

SaltedCaramelHC · 24/10/2021 18:26

They also seem to miss out D on the size chart and go straight from C to DD - is that usual?
How are they for rolling up at the band? I have never found one that doesn't on me, and I've tried all the size combinations!! My fat creases just in the wrong place. it's so irritating. But for £8 it might be worth a try

mogtheexcellent · 24/10/2021 18:32

So annoying missing the FF out. F too small, G too big.

SaltedCaramelHC · 24/10/2021 18:33

Oh I was mistaken, no c or D, just starts at DD

NaturalBlondeYeahRight · 24/10/2021 18:38

Yes I like Tu bras but the wire always seems to escape/break out too quickly

BusterGonad · 24/10/2021 18:40

Natural, if the wire breaks out I'd hazard a guess that you're in the wrong size.

Explosivefarts · 24/10/2021 18:42

Thanks for the recommendation was on the lookout for a new bra

DobbyTheHouseElk · 24/10/2021 18:44

Try ASDA tshirt bra. DD+
£5

@BusterGonad

I was on the understanding an FF was a F plus 1/2 a cup, not a full cup size up. If there's no FF I go for a G or go to a 36F. That seems to work for me. (34FF).
Each inch difference increases the cup size. F to FF is a full cup size difference just like D to DD would be.

G would be an equivalent to FF if there is no FF and 36F is a sister size of 34FF (same cup volume on different back size)
