Comfortable, non wired bra with no pads

I’m on the hunt for some bras!
I want a non-wired bra, that doesn’t have those fiddly pads in which always scrunch out of place. Preferably I would like a tiny bit of padding but that’s not a deal breaker. It doesn’t even have to look nice.
Mainly I want it to be the comfiest thing I’ve ever worn.
Any suggestions?

My most comfortable bra's are strangely enough made by Jockey. They have a little bit of padding and mine came in a pack of 2. The sizing is weird though, you don't buy by bra size, they are letters. I love them, which I had bought more than 2 of them.

Dd just bought an M&S Flexfit bra and she says it's the most comfortable she's ever had. She jumped up and down in the changing room and was so happy everything stayed put.

Really depends on size, OP. I'm a JJ cup and wear these, after decades of buying Goddess bras (an American brand) from anywhere I could find them.

The only trouble with M&S bras is the miss out cup sizes. This bra in a J cup is actually a HH as they miss that size out, they don’t do a JJ so the K is a J. If you want true to size from M&S you need to buy the branded bras they sell rather than their own brand.

True, I go up a back size and buy a K, and those fit.

I have recently discovered the ‘jelly bras’. Bought some off Amazon, and they are the most comfortable bras I’ve ever had - I won’t be going back!

Which ones please?

This one, although it is a bit monoboob for me, but it's the comfiest one I have ever owned:

Thank you for this recommendation. I've just bought one of these and immediately ordered another within an hour of putting it on. It's so comfortable and it gives a really great shape. And it comes in my awkward small back/bigger cup size.

I love these. They come up a bit big I think as the cotton jersey stretches a bit, so they are light to medium support, but I just think they are the best simple cotton bras I've found.

Just a word of warning about these bras. After reading about them here, I ordered some, but had to cut the plastic tie to try one on. They didn't fit properly so I sent them back. Had an email from M&S to say that the return was 'incomplete' and they wouldn't refund the whole cost. Not sure how I was supposed to try them on without separating them!!
