Bras for tiny boobs

9 replies

poppymango · 22/05/2024 12:32

I have the smallest boobs imaginable - started developing aged about 12 and then promptly stopped!

I still have to wear a bra for comfort and for shape so please don't suggest going braless - not an option for me.

The only bras that really fit me are for preteens, but I'm a bit sick of shopping in New Look's 915 section 😂

I considered Pepper bras but they're so expensive and I've read really varying reviews. I'd prefer something I can try on in a shop too if I'm honest, I can't be bothered faffing around with online returns!

Light padding and no wires ideally. Crossing my fingers 🙏

I'm very flat chested, I usually wear a croptop or bralette style one, I like Oddballs for day to day wear, unless I really need to hide my nipples (which requires a non-wired, padded Tshirt bra!)

I find the pull on style far more comfortable than traditional bras with a band/ fastening.

I think Pepper have a sae on at the moment - I’m very tempted.

I also just wear little crop tops. I’m ridiculously flat chested and only really wear one so my nipples aren’t just up against the fabric of my top and to make sure I’m fully covered if I bend down in a v neck top.

I am an A cup in the U.K. B cup in Spain and usually a B cup in France as sizing is smaller.

I buy wireless triangle bras from Etam, H&M, Tezenis, New Look and Accessorize.

Oooh they do... still expensive, but maybe I'll try one...

I am rather underendowed in this area but can I suggest that you get properly measured. I wore a 34A for years, but after reading several bra threads on here I went to a local independent lingerie shop and I now wear a 32D.

Measure under your bust for the band size then measure over your bust. The difference is your cup size.

These are the cup sizes:
0=AA; 1=A; 2=B; 3=C; 4=D; 5=DD; 6=F; 7=FF; 8=G; 9=GG; 10=H; 11=HH; 12=J; 13=JJ; 14=K and so on.

So if you measure 30" under your bust and 34" over your bust you might
find a 30D a better fit. This is just a guideline. If your underbust
measurement is an odd number the advice is usually to add an inch to
make it an even number.

The style of bra makes a difference as well. I wear a full cup bra to give me some shape.

Omg Tezenis don't even stock a 32A. At all. They just don't make them. Same with Intimissimi. That is infuriating.

@poppymango but even when I get the smaller sizes they don’t seem to fit! Just weird gaps or the strapless ones sit in a funny position. I’m going to try a pepper strapless one. Just so unsure of sizing!

I'm small of chest (34A or 32B depending where I shop) and my most flattering and also comfortable bras are from H&M.
