I am done with M&S and all the rest. I have a wide frame and a perimenopausal tum and not a single one of my bras are comfortable and the last time I went to JL and M&S on a desperate mission I couldn't find a single one that worked. I'm probably a 40C.

I keep seeing Facebook ads for lovely comfy looking bras but obviously one can't they them before buying and I don't want to end up with some Chinese scam/returns issues or something that rolls up my tum or makes my boobs look hangy because there's no underwire.

I'd go to Bravissimo but I think they're for bigger cup sizes.

Please share your dream comfortable bra wins. At this point I genuinely don't care what it looks like on as long as it doesn't make me want to scream by 10am

Are you broad? I’m a size 22 and a 38 band size.

I’ve never known a size 12 to be a 38!

I'm not that broad. Just lots of back fat. A 36 band had my fat hanging over the band. Bulging. Awful.

I'm a 16 and wear a 34 band, usually Elomi plunge bras as they suit my shape, I go up to a 36 for sports bras as they're notoriously tight!

It's hard because you need the right size but also brand and style - curvy Kate is awful on me, panache tries to stab me with the centre gore...
it's been trial and error for me but I have a perfectly fitting bra now

I tried everywhere but have finally settled on......Tesco! ATM they have ones with no underwire which are far more comfortable but they are also supportive
