Bralet/ soft bra for large chest

103 replies

Bestwisheswarmregards · 21/06/2025 15:01

I can't wear underwires anymore, they're just so uncomfortable with an F cup.

Has anyone found a bralet or wireless bra that is comfortable and lifts the boobs from my knees?

Any recommendations welcome

Woah - Molke sale … thanks
another one who really gets on with them

Bravissimo comfort bras. Couldn’t live without mine!

Onleemoi · 21/06/2025 15:14

Flexi fit non wired from M&S, so comfortable! (32F)

FrillySocksAndDocs · 21/06/2025 15:15

Lemonade dolls, especially their new push up bra.

Second the M&S FlexiFit!

I’m a 34F and have every colour of these in a Size 10 and they are super comfy and keep me looking perky!

I would highly recommend shapermint. Their bras are the best I've ever had. Often on offer too.

WeCouldDoBetter · 21/06/2025 15:29

34G here. M&S Flexifit :-)

I never thought I'd ever say this but the full briefs in the same range are great too.

Molke are amazing. An F cup isn’t very big though, are you sure you’re wearing the right size? A properly fitting under wire bra will be perfectly comfortable, even with very large boobs, so might be that you’re uncomfortable because the bra is the wrong size rather than than the wires?

I've been measured in several different places and even went to a renowned expert to get measured and size stayed the same. My boobs are omega shaped and that can cause discomfort apparently.
Im also sick of underwires, I just don't want to wear them anymore

I need some new non wired bras too but I hate the fact that most of the non wired ones fail to give much shape, I’ve tried some on and look like I have a big lumpy sausage across my chest 😂

LividVermiciousKnid · 22/06/2025 07:43

Molke.

I’m around a 34K and haven’t worn underwires for six years.

MiseryIn · 22/06/2025 08:28

I just received a “Boody” one which is full chest so you can get the smaller back size.
haven’t extensively tested it yet but so far it seems good.

RockaLock · 22/06/2025 09:52

Bravado sculpt bra is very comfortable and gives a decent shape (for a wireless bra, anyway).

DelphiniumBlue · 22/06/2025 09:59

Shapermint. They give me great shape and are the most comfortable bras I've had. I'm 40E. The Sweetheart ones are good to go with lower necked/v neck tops.
Someone else said Lemonade Dolls, don't go for those if you need any support at all. They are very pretty but simply cover you rather than holding you up!

whynotmereally · 22/06/2025 10:14

I’m a 36DD and I’ve got honey love bras. Unfortunately in the uk they only do 2 colours but they are really supportive and u still have cleavage . Not the cheapest though.

Flexi fit non wired from M&S, so comfortable! (32F)

Same. Bought my first one a few days ago. So incredibly comfy, and with great lift.

Bought some pretty lemonade dolls sets. OMG worst ever, lean forward slightly and the girls just fall out. Can't even wear in bed. They shouldn't be sold in anything bigger than a b cup and only to the most pert of teenagers

Autie · 22/06/2025 14:05

Another vote for molke. Haven't worn an underwired bra for about 5 years now. I also have a larger chest.

I hate the sausage look too but after radiotherapy for breast cancer I'm having to cope with it too. Asda do a two pack - lace non wired comfort bras and they aren't beige and are really comfy but the downside is the thick straps. Apart from that they are great

Another fan of Boody here ! You can filter for just wireless bras on there website. Their bras are so comfy ! And even better, they don’t use slave labour .

I haven’t worn wired bras for about 2 years now - and I don’t think I would ever go back.

I used to think like this and wonder why on earth I saw people wearing unflattering droopy bras. Now in my 50s and around a 30g I can’t believe how agonising I find wired bras. Currently wearing an M&S flexi fit and even though they only start at 32 it’s not comfortable (perhaps because but too loose caused it to rub more). Just bought from the molke bra boot as for a fiver for a bralette it’s worth a try - I can donate to a charity shop if not comfy

ThisZanyPinkSquid · 22/06/2025 14:47

Bravissimo Jenna or Alicia. They are underwired but so comfy! I’m a H and would pick these every day!

LuckyCharmz · 22/06/2025 14:51

If your underwired bra is uncomfortable, it's usually because it's the wrong size. Have look at transformational Tuesdays on Bellaroselingerie on Instagram.
