Will never wear a normal bra again!

TK Maxx have a great selection of these bras! At good prices. Only wear ‘traditional’ bras when if go out.. which is rarer these days!!

I was measured in Rigby and Peller in Harrogate. I purchased the recommended bra, but hate it because the straps slip - and it cost a bomb!! I see lots of wireless bras for sale these days, but I am afraid they will not suit my ample bosom.

I used the online M&S bra measurement system. It was 100% better than when I was measured in the actual store. It considers much more than just the difference between chest and boob and giving a cup size based on that. It was a bit of a faff and a coming and going with the correct specs but by George it worked!

I wear crop top with padded inserts (Amazon) so e have the inserts stitched in, some have removable inserts. I like the stitched in type..black, natural and white. See me through every season and sooooo comfortable (high sides so no back fat!)

I love these bra tops , can't stand ordinary bras they dig in

Totally agree Amazonia, I had a similar experience at M & S.Best place to get measured is usually the smaller independent shops. I got measured a few years ago and bought some bras by Fantasie. They were a fabulous fit and have stuck with the same make. Never tried crop tops but seems like they are very comfortable and suit a lot of people.

M&S are shocking at measuring you. They put you in a band size that is too big and cup size too small - not just me. This is a common complaint. I was measured at 34DD for years. An independent shop measured me at 30G - never looked back. No digging in under the arms, no falling out at the front, no hitching the back strap back down again etc.

I bought an expensive (for me) bra online from Miss Mary of Sweden which I hoped would be more comfortable. Unfortunately it isn't. It’s front fastening And the fastening has made my chest between the boobs quite sore. So I went back to m&s non wired which are more comfy and less than half the price.

I always used to wear underwired bras. These ones I'm talking about are just as supportive. Not cheap. I can only talk about the M&S ones btw. Generic crop tops don't offer support.

For years now I have worn a bra made by ''Trifolium.''
Full cups in all sizes .no wires. Various colours.
They control but are cumfy.
I buy from a lady on Ebayuk. These bras are not expensive as some bras go ........
I most certainly would not swop for any of the fancy brands ....

No unfettered breasts are inviting bacteria to colonise beneath the underhang.
Decent bras with wires, lightly padded are right for cup sizes above (a), if you want saggy breasts then wear these crop tops. Having breast fed two children am still proud of mine and they are. Appalled to go into a changing room to observe a childless friend’s sagging outline, who HATES under wired bras. Once that muscle goes that is it.

<sigh> they can cause cancer if used regularly
Do you have a reference to any research suggesting that, diy, or even any plausible theories of your own?

Size 40D here, since lumpectomy for cancer and scar tissue I find bras very uncomfortable. I found a soft crop top from Matalan and now that’s all I wear. They give me a lovely rounded shape too! I’ve got them in several different colours

They will anyway fall and hang like hamsters.

I loath wearing a bra and no matter what the size is more of us should just go without one. I didn't wear one for the whole time in lockdown.

Oh gosh....I did not check predictive text...apologies...hahaha

Is there such a thing as a truly comfortable bra? I am a 44D and have two M & S bras (both measured for in store) and two Miss Mary ones. Whilst they are comfortable in regards support, I find that the under boob band rolls and makes me sweaty. I usually end up slathered in Sudocrem to take the soreness away. If I’m not going anywhere or seeing anyone I much prefer unfettered knockers ?

I wear underwired in the day, a cotton hook and eye bra to bed and have underwire in my swimsuits.
On a, ahem, lower note I have found not wearing knickers under floaty shorts in this hot weather to be so cool and strangely liberating ?

I like my boobs to be where they are supposed to be and have shape u see my clothes. Love undeterred. If they are the correct size you do not get digging wirez

I haven't tried the crop top, or bra-let type but I have been wearing the sloggy type for years. No hooks, no wires, no thin slipping straps and because they have individual cups they do give a decent shape and support, but then I'm only a B cup.

I've been wearing pull on bras for a long time now as I'm allergic to the metal back fasteners. They drive me mad. I've bought them from Sainsburys and Amazon.

I suffer from narrow shoulders and plagued with brastraps slipping down. Then came along a design from M &S that had silicone strip under strap and pretty too. Alas after many years, they stopped making them.... said people were allergic to silicone?? My mother broke a wrist so I got a set of soft bras with no fastenings. She did not take to them so I took them back and found them great! I since source a selection of rainbow colours online. I have looked at Primark ones but query the straps, imagine will slip?

Bravisamo family, my dd,gd, plus me we range from 28dd, 34j, 38dd.
Vest top built in bra in your size
Sleep bras
Expensive hobby but worth it GD who is 18in five weeks puts gift cards from them on Christmas/birthday suggestion lists. We have a day out every October , book fitting appointment at there Touchwood branch

Aepgirl can't find the style number but it's a 'Flexfit crop top bralette'. Good luck. I love the way the varying strengths of the elastic cantilevers my 40F bosom.
