Best non underwired bra for big boobs

38 replies

Can anyone recommend a non underwired bra that would give good lift for big boobs (36G) if such a thing exists. I’m struggling to find a comfortable bra that doesn’t make my boobs look saggy. The only one I have that gives me a good shape has underwire and it’s so uncomfortable!

Molke! MOLKE!!!! I will scream about this company until my dying breath. Honest to god the most comfortable and supportive bras to be found. The measuring is a doddle if you have a measuring tape and the customer service is outstanding.

I have 2 Molke’s which I wear intermittently but I need (in an ideal world) a bra that is more comfortable and easier to get on.
I have shoulder issues and I find the Molke’s can be challenging - they do offer excellent support for a non wired though.
I was cynical at first re Molke but I get them now and they lift my boobs higher than any wired bra.
I wear Empriente bras for my go to daily bras, the Thalia balconette but expensive except I can wear it all day without any pain or digging.

I’ve ordered a Molke bra too so will let you know how I get on!

Update. The search continues. Molke was really comfy but didn’t look right under clothes, sort of squished my boobs flat. The bra I thought I liked from bravissimo looked really pretty when stood still but when I started to move around and sit etc I came to the conclusion it didn’t really lift them up any more than the current m&s bras I live in.

Maybe it’s just not possible for me to get perky looking boobs without underwire.

I’m trying one more bra from bravissimo, the Royce Charlotte one someone mentioned up thread, which I had the nursing bra version of back along which was ok, and then I’m giving up!

I will also await the holy grail of bras !
My Molke is ok if I’m wearing a thick or ribbed top. I don’t wear it all the time, it’s more of a rare occurrence. It lifts them well but no shape whatsoever.
I had a look at the Royce one but I wasn’t sure. Please update before you give up 😀

So the Royce Charlotte has great lift but separates mine too much. I’m like the Goldilocks of bra shopping. Will I ever find the right bra. I’m now trying a marks and Spencer’s bra that was recommended on here a while back. Not the bralet as I have a couple of those. I’ll see how I get on with that. Here’s hoping!

Just reflecting. What I want is support, comfort and shape. Clearly that’s too much to ask. I want my breasts together but I don’t want monoboob and this seems like an impossible balance to strike without underwire. I’ve worn underwire all my adult life but I just can’t do it anymore it’s so uncomfortable, I don’t know how I wore it for so long. Maybe I have to just accept that I can’t look the way I want to without discomfort, but it’s such a shame because it makes me just want to live in baggy clothes all the time. Apart from my droopy big boobs I like my figure, so that’s a shame. Stupid boobs. Sorry, I just had to get that out.

Order a molke. Honest.

Oops. You had ordered. I quite like that it minimises my chest a bit but horses for courses and all that.

Ive got one of these on right now and its brilliant. Im a 32gg

@Branleuse I looked on the site - they look interesting but there’s a no refunds only exchanges.
I am unsure if they might make a mono boob situation ?

@Branleuse
They look amazingSmile
I may have to order!

I’ve found the bra for me at last! This one:

www.marksandspencer.com/flexifit-non-wired-full-cup-bra/

Thank you @SlipperTripper for the recommendation. I got there in the end.

To be honest there is still a bit of a mono boob situation going on but they are high and supported, I feel comfy and even in tight fitting clothes I don’t hate the look of my boobs for the first time ever since ditching underwire. I threw some new pants and jeans into my order to get free delivery and they are awesome too. For the first time in a long time I don’t need to send anything back!

Thanks for all the advice everyone.
