And why would I want more padding when I already have plenty of padding of my own?!
Very cross and disheartend

I wear the M&S minimiser ones. Am 32/34E. They are very plain and give smooth lines under clothes. No padding!

MrsSeanBean · 11/07/2009 18:02

The much maligned M&S help me out in this area. They do (or did) a range called 'Body' which was seamfree but with no padding. I can't find it on the website though, but bought a 2-pack about 5 weeks ago for about £16.

I've looked at those but they don't seem to come in many designs. And don't they just push your boobs under your armpits?

I mean the minimiser ones

HumphreyCobbler · 11/07/2009 18:03

I like freya, they don't squish them together

Simples · 11/07/2009 18:04

here nice and plain for t shirts, get a size bigger than you normally are

janeite · 11/07/2009 18:05

Feels under armpits.....

Nope.

citronella · 11/07/2009 18:05

will check out 'Body' do they come in different colours? I am so bored of black, white, beige. I would like to see chocolate, purple, gun grey...

I like the wonderbra tshirt bras
I need a bit oh hoiking believe you me!

citronella · 11/07/2009 18:07

That's not bad Simples. Bit pricey though

Debenhams do a range of bigger sized bras that start at £12.

I like these. They are lined, but not padded and give a lovely shape whilst minimising any unwanted nipple detail!!

citronella · 11/07/2009 18:08

freya? Is that online?

OP posts:
Simples · 11/07/2009 18:09

yes but nO wobble.
I used to teach teenage boys and the experience has affected all subsequent bra buying.
pLAIN, no lace and no wobble

citronella · 11/07/2009 18:10

I like those debenhams one. The black one's nice.
Things are starting to look up.

HumphreyCobbler · 11/07/2009 18:12

bravissimo sells freya

thinking about it they are quite pricey, £25.

I have to spend the money as I have enormous 330GG norks

citronella · 11/07/2009 18:12

lace is a traitor. Looks so pretty on its own then under clothes you look like you'be got pebbledashed breasts.

OP posts:
Simples · 11/07/2009 18:13

lol
its never good for everyday

citronella · 11/07/2009 18:16

330 GG ??

When I was pregnant my boobs shot up to F from B and seemed to have settled back to DD now.

Humphrey have you ever been to that company that the queen gets hers from? Have momentarily forgotten the name? It will come back.

"things are starting to look up"

PMSL

Go and have a look in Debenhams, they do have quite a nice range; there are often sales bargains to be had if you are a less than average (or should that be more than average??) size as well.

HumphreyCobbler · 11/07/2009 18:40

pmsl at 330

they aren't THAT big

citronella · 11/07/2009 20:58

Thanks guys (had to go and feed dc)I will try Debenhams and Freya.
In the meantime, will just have to hope things hold up.

Don't write off padding. Look at some of the smooth, "moulded", t-shirt bras for DD+ cups (Fantasie do one, Debenhams do own brand, M&S, Wonderbra). It shouldn't add bulk but it does just give you a bit more support and lift. Honestly.
Do you live near a good department store or a Bravissimo where they can help fit you?
