Bra/Bralette help!

I'm looking for a boob covering with these features:

A wide under band
Wide shoulder straps
Made to stop breasts touching
Soft material
Comfortable to sleep in
Fits a 34F

I don't care about uplift, or even what it looks like, I'm just looking for something that will keep my boobs apart comfortably and without underwire.

Im autistic and am really struggling with them touching each other. I'm currently in a molke but find that one boobs falls out. I've tried different sizes of Molke so it's not that.

And I don't mind the boobs touching if they are covered in fabric. I don't like the skin itself touching.

I haven't tried it but this bralette the small is your size, it is expensive though. Wide band wide straps and looks like it separates. Others of the same make look suitable too.

Have you looked at other small sewing businesses that make soft bra tops to measure? There's plenty out there that aren't Molke (lots of women find that one boob falls out of Molke bras so you're not alone with that!).

That's actually a really good idea. How would you go about looking? Use Google?

I like it! I'd want to to somehow keep boobs separate though. I don't know how I could achieve that. Some kind of inner support maybe.

Look at the Anya bra from John Lewis. That would fit the bill I think.

PabloFlowerface · 30/07/2023 15:33

The Anya is stitched in such a way that your boobs won't touch if that's what you're after

Is it this one?

I’d also be interested in this OP.

have you tried any sleep bras?

something like this? Or would you need a thicker band?

I've never tried a sleep bra, no. I've had molke for a long time now and not really ventured away because I'm not a fan of change.
I wouldn't like the feel of the hole thing on the bottom of that one.

Miss Mary of Sweden seem to have lots. www.missmary.co.uk/gb/marguerite-non-wired-bra

Would this work?

I find that sleeping on my back prevents my boobs from touching. But if you’re a side sleeper it’s much more difficult.

This one looks good actually! You can see that it's made to separate and I like that its not padded or made with lace so not itchy.
I'll have to order one and have a try.

Molke Bras are great for bigger boobs and so comfy, I discovered them when pregnant/breastfeeding, but dd is now 2 and I don't really wear anything else unless I need a thinner strap. There is a "fans of molke" Facebook page you might find helpful too.

Sorry I didn't see the last bit about being in a molke already 🤦‍♀️ some people try sewing a popper in to make it more secure. They do get a bit of getting used to though.
