Loose, comfortable ‘bra’

I’ve never liked to wear bras, as a young teen I found them unbearably uncomfortable and I never really graduated to wearing proper underwire style ones. I’ve been ‘properly’ fitted but it hasn’t helped. I have a VERY broad back, small boobs and these days sadly I’m also very fat. A few years ago now I finally said ‘sod it’ and stopped wearing them unless really, really necessary. I get away without most of the time but there are some tops where I would benefit from some gentle support - mainly to stop my boobs merging with my big belly 😬 I’m
thinking something with a stretchy back band and not fitted cups but loose. Any suggestions? I have one from sloggi which is almost right but still feels uncomfortably tight after a while (maybe I just need a bigger size?).

Any sort of cheap ish crop top from Tu at Sainsbury’s or George at Asda would do.

Try primark crop tops as a first stop?

Ok thanks both, I’ll give that a go

This is excellent - well worth its price and better than the Sloggi equivalent.

Be aware that even if you go into a store to look at them it’s likely you’ll have to order the colour and size you want online.
