Can anyone recommend a very comfortable soft cup bra for big boobs?

Am pregnant and currently a 34H (Sad), looking for a really soft and comfortable bra to sleep in at night.

The best ones I currently have are from primark about 5 years ago but I bought some recently and the straps are way too stretchy to be supportive. I’ve tried a few from Tesco and seraphine and same issue. The latter ones are also quite low cut too.

I prefer a crop top / sports crop type style and must be in a bra size rather than dress size or the band is too big / cup too small.

Could anyone help please?

I loved the Cantaloop nursing bras for sleeping in (in pregnancy, not just when nursing).

Not sure if they are still there but Aldi did sports bras which are not supportive enough for running but are brilliant for sleeping in. Navy blue colour, had leggings etc. too

Would molkes be any good for you?

Nova by Bravissimo is my go to. They also do pyjama tops with built in support.

DockOTheBay · 18/01/2022 23:15

I would second the suggestion of Molke. If you choose a fabric with firmness rating 1 they're very soft

Pyri · 19/01/2022 06:17

Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately some of these are just S/M/L or not 34H, I do need the proper bra size.

Not sure I can bring myself to try Molkke, they’re so frumpy!

Should also add that I don’t want nursing bras thanks, I find the straps are never supportive enough and go stretchy very quickly

I have these ones as well and they're great. They come in proper bra sizes, not S/M/L

KatharinaRosalie · 19/01/2022 07:25

Yes Bravissimo PJ tops are also really good and come in cup sizes

This was a quite recent thread which might have ideas -

I'm a 38H and breastfeeding, currently wearing one of these Flexifit

The best nursing bra I've ever found over nearly 2 years of BF 2 kids. I find them supportive enough to wear them during the day but equally comfy to wear at night. Honestly can't fault them!

larrythelizard · 19/01/2022 07:48

I've just bought one of the M&S sleep bras (there's a A-F range and a F+ range - I'm a 34Gish and bought a size 16) and find it really comfy

gunnersgold · 19/01/2022 07:49

Marks and spencer sumptuously soft are the only ones I wear . I'm 32g

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 19/01/2022 08:08

Marks and Spencers Flexifit.

MaybeHeIsMyCat · 19/01/2022 11:31

I know they're s/m/l but they're sized off bra sizes. I'm a 34K and have one of the chill with me style and it fits!
You would need a large Smile from the size chart

Asda mastectomy or maternity bras

delilahbucket · 19/01/2022 13:55

If you are happy in a vest top I'd recommend the Bravissimo pj vest tops. Very comfy. I change into one in the evening as I don't like being braless but I don't like laying on the sofa in a bra.

Fispi · 19/01/2022 19:52

Hot Milk bras. Best fitting bras I've ever had despite being nursing bras. Not sure what I'm going to replace mine with when I'm no longer feeding. I'm a 32H.

BusterGonad · 21/01/2022 07:13

Can I just add op, the straps are NOT want supports your breasts, if you are relaying on the straps then I'm thinking you either have the wrong bra size or are buying bras that offer no support at all.

Thanks, in a soft cup crop top what does provide support? If you took the straps away the whole thing would fall down?

Of course you won't get that much support from the band of a soft cup bra. But as you are looking for a sleep bra, the straps won't need to do that much work when you're horizontal.

Right, but I don’t want them going stretchy and then feeling like the top of the bra is exposing loads of cleavage when I’m up and about as has happened with a few (ie seraphine nursing bra)

I wear this one. It's comfortable and reasonably supportive, but my boobs still wobble a bit when I walk!
