Non wired bra dilemma

8 replies

JimBobsWife · 06/01/2024 08:40

Help needed! I love my non wired bras but they just don't give me the oomph I'd like or need.

Is that an inevitable trade off or am I just buying the wrong brands?

Maybe you are wearing the wrong size?
What dress size are you, and what are your under bust and overbust measurements?

What size bra are you currently wearing?

I’m a 34GG and find they don’t give me any sort of real shape or support (and I’ve tried everything from primark to bravissimo to molke to lemonade dolls etc) but I don’t really care because personally comfort trumps everything to me. If I ever wanted to actually make an effort to hoik them up or wear a posh dress where I needed them to look more supported I’d have to wear a proper structured bra but thankfully day to day I just spend my life in baggy comfortable clothes so it doesn’t matter to me.

I like mine hoiked in and up (30FF) and would never expect non wired to do enough. I like wired though, I think if you wear the right size you don’t notice. I wear mine all day, every day until going to bed, when I put a non wired on for sleeping.

I don’t think non wired really can give you that look.
Personally that’s why I like them, as I prefer the natural subtle look and means I get less leers!

I don't think they ever give the same hoiked up look. The non wired Panache Andorra gives me quite a perky but minimised look.
I tried on a Freya wired moulded one the other day and was shocked at how hoiked up and perky I looked. I used to only wear wired bras bit now only wear non wired.

Miss Mary of Sweden unwired bras will give you oomph. The Broderie Anglaise bra and the Cotton Dots give a round and more pointy shape respectively. I thought I’d hate the dot bra but I love it.

I'm currently wearing a 36B, not sure what my measurements are but I've done the Boob or Bust thing a while back, maybe I need to revisit that.

I buy tesco non wired. Not pretty but they do the job.
