Which bra style?

Hello,

I've been to numerous Bra shops but I can't seem to find a bra that fits perfectly and makes me feel great. I have little breast tissue in the upper part of my breasts - think wet tea bags - and my breasts are quite low and droopy (God I sound sexy)!
Has anyone got any suggestions on what style of bra would be best? I've been to chains and independent shops and they all seem to struggle!
Thanks.

I'd wear a balcony bra, if the top of the cup is empty try shortening the straps, this hoists the boob up so it fills the cup

I would try a half cup. I have similar boobs and even some balcony bras either dig in or gape. Padded half cups fit well though.

I have boobs like this and find the cheaper primark plunge moulded style work well. The more expensive Bravissimo full cup brand type ones never do anything much for me.

Same here, I'm 61, I cannot stand heavy underwired bras so itchy and horrible.
If I need a great shape I wear the good old Doreen bra to go out looking good in clothes and I also find that a Miss Mary of Sweden balconette bra gives a good shape for us teabags too. a full cup stops that boobs creeping out of the middle of the bra drama.
Everyday and for work I wear a glamorise bralet - so comfy and still gives you a nice shape.
These are my favourite three, bit pricey but worth it.
