Uncomfortable bras

There are some Ahh bras on Ebay NanaandGrampy. I think they look more supportive than the Genie and some have removeable padding. I had never heard of them so have ordered a triple pack of the lacy ones, after Googling the sizings.

I will have a look at Genie bras thanks sunseeker .

AhhBras seems to have shut down in the U.K. . They did all sizes up to 5x in lots of colours , so I'm glad I stocked up when I did lol

Not heard of AhhBras but looking at them online they are very similar to Genie bras.

Are genie bras like AhhBras ?

I use these exclusively now. The great thing is one is enough support for indoors and I layer one over the other for good support when I go out.

So comfortable, no back boobs or cutting in. Heaven !

I wear the Genie bras which I find very comfortable - although a friend who is very well endowed finds they don't give her enough support.

Thanks for the good idea. I too suffer from the 'afternoon spread' and a lately am suffering from the straps sliding off my shoulders. I must be getting a Dowagers hump. I would love to bin my bras but couldn't cope with my boobs knocking against me knees smile oh for the long gone days of the 32B!

This is my first post, so here goes. How I hate bras, I get myself professionally measured, buy the recommended bras, but always find that after a few washes, they cut in, and by mid afternoon, if I'm not going out, I just have to undo them, oh, the relief. Today I decided to go along to John Lewis and buy bra extenders. I took a simple sketch of the end of my bra to make sure the hooks and eyes are the same distance apart, and bingo. Simple to fit and comfortable as you like. Highly recommend this to all those others who hate their bra. Should have done this years ago.
