30D wired plain unpadded bra. Does it exist?

DD12 is after a wired plain unpadded bra but they don’t seem to exist. I can find plain padded bras in this size or plain unpadded and wireless. She’s still growing so under £20 would be good too. She was shocked that my 32GGs usually cost nearly double that.

Bravissimo and anything by fantasie is v good.

Thighdentitycrisis · 03/04/2022 08:05

Tshirt bras by default contain a moulded with a foam lining to stop nipples showing when it’s cold!

M&S do plain unpadded in that size

SheWoreYellow · 03/04/2022 08:07

Are you sure she wants unpadded? The padding on most is, as mentioned, to hide nipples, not to make boobs bigger.

BeardieWeirdie · 03/04/2022 08:09

Freya are very good, I’m a 28FF and don’t want padding as they’re big enough. Although after 5 years of breastfeeding, I constantly look cold 😳 Always buy in the sale, gutted Debenhams is gone, really miss their 70% off bra sales!

Surely bra stop would have some? I buy various sizes but have bought 30G and never padded, always wired. I imagine the same bra goes down to D. Not sure what you mean by plain tho - as in, no lace?

Burnamer · 03/04/2022 08:12

Try the brastop website. They often have sales and do free delivery and return so you can order a few and keep what fits. They have a range of brands and definitely have hat you’re looking for.

I would recommend fantasie / Freya -the fantasie T-shirt bras don’t add any bulk but hide nipples! Unfortunately I can’t think of anywhere they’d be c£20 though.

M and S Flexifit,do a plain unpadded one.

HandScreen · 03/04/2022 08:20

You could literally Google it.

HelloDulling · 03/04/2022 08:20

John Lewis are when I go with my DD. She likes a moulded cup though. It’s not really padding, but it keeps nipples under wraps, which is helpful in a school shirt.

TickledOnion · 03/04/2022 09:34

By plain I mean not lacey or sheer or multicoloured. Just plain white or nude cotton. The moulded ones are ok but don’t seem to give as much support. I know they’re not padded but they don’t fit to her actual shape.

Thanks for the suggestion to Google. I did and I got plenty of links that were not what I was after. They were all padded or lacey or plunge or they didn’t go down to a 30 or up to a D or down to a D or weren’t wired or were over £30.

I'm guessing this one is moulded so no good?

Tbh I am not sure anyone does plain white cotton bras with ubderwire. Maybe try Primark or matalan?

countingto10 · 03/04/2022 13:25

I use these for everyday use. They are comfortable and not really padded.

JengaTower · 03/04/2022 13:34

She might be a 32 C so give that a try

JengaTower · 03/04/2022 13:39

The cup size change according to the band width. They are not the same on a 30 to a 38 ie a D on a 38 is far bigger than a D on a 30
Hence try a 32 C

I am fairly sure my dd has a non-moulded version of the panache elan pp mentioned above. It was literally the only thing in bravissimo that met her exacting requirements ( which seem the same as yours!). I don't think it was as cheap as £20, but I think she probably has stopped growing so I put up with the price.

TickledOnion · 03/04/2022 15:09

She’s definitely not 32C. I’m a size 14 and a 32 back. She’s probably a size 4 but usually wears kids size 12-13 clothes.

M&S
Sumptuously Soft Full Cup t-shirt bra
£20

I'm a size 12 and wear a 32" on the tightest hooks so she might need a smaller back size in M&S sizing.

So just get her a lacy or plunged one? Not seeing the problem. Is your daughter allergic to lace?

MrsPaperclip · 03/04/2022 20:23

I'm the same size as your dd and mainly wear lightly padded (not push up) Tshirt bras from.M&S. I've got some nice comfy ones which are Figleaves' own brand (the website doesn't exist any more but I think you can get them from next).

Not £20 though.
