Big boobs - where do you get your bras from?

I can’t go to a city to get measured properly. I buy those slightly padded T-shirt type bras from M&S, but I’ve ended up with a band of saggy boob rather than two breasts. I feel like I need a Cross Your Heart bra to lift and separate! So where do I go?

Elomie Morgan has got to be the most comfortable style bra I own. I’m 34HH.

If you are baffled by Bravissimo website, the bras that come in a bigger range of colours tend to be the popular styles they keep going for a few years.

I've found Tesco to be really good. I'm in their biggest cup size but after being an HH it's great not to have to pay a fortune for bras that fit

Agree with all pps. I am 32H. The one thing I would note from your post though, is that you are wearing padded. I think that's also a problem, as you are adding bulk. Less is more with big of boob.

I do it to stop my nipples poking out like bullets!
I find that lace in that area chafes them too, like a cheese grater.

A good independent underwear shop is the best place to start, but they are becoming rarer. Ours (small Cornish town) is excellent and she sticks to a few makes (Chantelle, PrimaDonna are the two I prefer) that she knows work for a lot of customers.

Padding adds to support rather than bulk. Padding is (usually) so thin it does nothing to the bulk. I’m proud of my 36Fs anyway! Sister complains there was unfair distribution 😀.

I love Molke but they aren't to everyone's taste. I also like Fantasie.

I like the Boob or Bust method for measuring at home.

Elomi, I'm a 34K and live in their plunge bras

GU24Mum · 19/07/2024 17:25

Fantasie are good and I've tried Elomi too and like them.

I've got a Molke which is definitely more of a uniboob creator. I find it quite hard to put on and take off so have given up on it for now.

Bravissimo - the last brands I bought from there were Elomi, Freya and Fantasie.

M&S bras never fit quite right and the ladies never seem to measure accurately. Bravissimo were amazing and Fantasie bras are brilliant. Expensive but really worth it for comfort and fit.
