DD is 14 and has very large/heavy breasts.

She's non-verbal and attends a special school where she has lots of daily physical activity (daily PE/swimming etc).

I need sturdy bras for daily use, must be soft, just pull-on (no hooks etc, as she's required to get dressed with no help and can't manage them).

I have very small breasts so no experience on purchasing these and she won't tolerate going to a shop and trying on dozens, so any advice you can give me would be VERY gratefully received!

Sweaty Betty do some pull on supportive bras which fit a small band, big cup. They wash and wear really well.

Can she manage zips?

I bought some zip front fastening sports bras from M&S earlier this year when I wasn't able to fasten my usual ones at the back. They might do?

however they're a bit hot at this time of year, I've still got shoulder issues that stop me doing up regular bras, I have some underwired front fastening ones I'm wearing in the heat as the M&S ones are just too sweaty for me. They do wash very well, well the blue ones have at any rate.

Molke bras are the best I’ve found for support and comfort. The only thing is they can be tough to get on and you have to scoop your breasts into them so depends if she can manage that, but if they weren’t tight they wouldn’t give any support.

Thanks so much, I'll check all suggestions.

A zip unfortunately is out of the question, because she'd just open it immediately under her clothes!

She'd definitely not be able to hoik her breasts and shove them in and there would be much drama if it was too hard to put on by herself.

So all in all... quite particular.
