Supportive bras without underwires - bigger boobs

12 replies

PotteringAlonggotkickedoutandhadtoreregister · 17/08/2025 16:16

As per the title. I’ve been butchered by my underwires and am now thinking of buying non-wired bras.

I need a bigger cup size but not a massive back and have already established that M&S don’t do my size.

I don’t mind paying a bit more for something that just makes life better!

Any recommendations?

Snag bras are great, today though I am wearing a wired m&s bra 36gg

Thank you! I’ve seen them online - it’s hard to know what’s great and what’s good marketing! I’ll have a look.

What size are you? I'm also wearing M&S today, non-wired, 38K although my usual size is 36JJ.
Options tend to drop off once you head north of GG or H, so most recommendations on threads like these are not useful for me.

34F

so, not as big as some, but bigger than most!

according to the ones I’ve found online, M&S start at 36.

The ones I wear start at 34 but there's something strange going on with the available cup sizes. Might be worth trying a 36 from M&S though, they do tend to come up small in my experience.

Bravissimo might have something too. I find their non-wired bras not supportive enough for everyday, but I'm quite a bit bigger than you.

Primark ones are surprisingly comfortable, support/lift is great and they’re cheap too, 3 for £13. However they only go up to an E , so unless there’s some wiggle room , they probably won’t work.

@Greensmithingdo you know m&s bra sizing works? I believe it’s different to elsewhere. I really like the look of the flexifit range. I went for a fitting at m&s last year, and came away empty handed, as the bra fitter said she couldn’t get a definitive size, and had nothing suitable! This was a big, flagship store.

I’m 38 F or G elsewhere.

Slightly unhelpful as I can’t remember exact style but I’ve bought comfy non wired bras from M and S online before and I’m a 32GG so you should be able to find one in your size!

Conturve are really supportive, comfortable and non-wired. I'm unsure what size they go up to though. Since buying them I don't buy any other brands!
