Wanted: a padded comfortable non-wired bra for big boobs!

[Shinyandnew1]

I am really struggling to find something that has some padding (either removable or moulded would be fine), non-wired as I find them so uncomfortable, adjustable straps (there's a padded cropped top in M+S which is sort of ok but I'm short in the body so need shorter straps), and for bigger boobs.

I used to be a 36DD but then with the BOB intervention was a 34FF. These bras look great but just feel so uncomfortable now-I think it's my age! With the generic non cup-sized ones, I need a 16 to fit my boobs in but they don't feel very well supported.

There must be a middle ground where I can breathe freely, have a bit of padding to keep my boobs warm and stop everyone seeing nipplage, and have a vaguely decent shape under clothes. I tried a Sloggi one which was pretty comfortable but gave me an awful line under a top.

I’ve just bought the Bravado seamless sculpt bra, which might be worth a try for you:

I’m a 30E, so not massive but still need some support, and this seems decent so far. It’s very comfortable. The fabric is fairly thick and seems to have some side support, so it gives me a decent enough shape under clothes. And no mono-boob. It has light removeable padding, and “proper” bra straps and back fastening.

I wear m&S but I'm only a D
These ones, I also like some in the boutique or Rosie ranges but they have no padding

Thank you-that's one I'd not heard of. Can I ask how you found the sizing??

Thank you-I'll have a look!

I got the small size, and I could do with it being very slightly tighter on the band, but it’s fine. Cup size is good. So I would say that the size guide for that bra on the bravissimo website is reasonably accurate, I think.
