Recommend me a bra!

15 replies

ChloeCannotCanCan · 23/06/2026 09:06

I am looking for the holy grail for those with generous boobs - a comfortable, supportive bra without underwires which lasts all day and doesn’t give you a mono-boob!

im a 34G, not perky and I live in Bravissimo and Panache underwired, hoik-em-up, very supportive bras which are fine. But I’m off on holiday to somewhere hot and I’d like a few bras that aren’t so hot and restrictive but still work.

has anyone got any recommendations? I’m being inundated with adverts for Shapermint, Concurve, Lemonade Dolls but I’m sceptical of the comments from so called customers. Does anyone have any real life success with any of these brands or could recommend something to me?

I'm the same size, M&S non-wired flexfit is pretty comfortable, no monoboob. Not sure it's holy grail, but I don't mind it, which I sometimes think is as good as it gets for G cup!

Thanks - I’ll take a look, i haven’t had much luck with M&S bras ever since I went past an e cup

I bought a Lemonade Dolls bra from Vinted and it’s not bad at all. I’m a 36F/FF. The centre doesn’t sit against by chest but as it’s not a proper underwired gore maybe it’s not meant to.

Either way, it’s comfy and supportive without wires.

My holy grail for bras is Prima Donna. Expensive but really comfortable and very pretty, not dull and serviceable. I can wear those in heat with no problems.

Have a look at Braforme.

Try Rigby and Peller.

I got these after a recommendation here. They are very comfy (I got the navy and pink ones which are called cotton form but are the same) tuclothing.sainsburys.co.uk/product/tuc140939811?rec=PDP[tuc147114150]:bottomSlider:P1:OHAT:alternatives:tuc140939811:VspN5heuoBqs4smzW6Ce

My bra size is a UK / US 34 JJ (I have it in the tightest or middle hook, depends on how I’m feeling). My challenge is that I have a looooot of boob, basically!

I was recently at a bra fitting and was recommended a bra by panache and one by a brand named primadonna and I look as if I had a breast lift. I’m so incredibly pleased!! (I used to think that those bras were restricted but I was apparently wearing the wrong size, so…)

I also bought a “soft” bra (probably a mix between a minimised and a sports bra) from a brand named anita.

I meant restrictive instead of restricted. Oops 😅 and… well, there are a few other typos ( Blush ) but I’m sure you’ve got the gist of it…

Elomi or Fantasie.

I find contuve moisture wicking non wired very cool in the summer, really supportive and give a nice silhouette. I'm a 36DD.

Can I ask where you went for your fitting please?

Primadonna are amazing.

Sorry I've just realised it's by Modibodi, not Conturve!

Freya or Panache are both great for the large of bosom 😊

I’m a 32G and find Panache Clara bras fit well and give a nice shape.
