Comfortable Bras

I bought a new bra recently from a company called Royce. It's a tee shirt bra, non wired, and the most comfortable bra I've owned. They specialise in non wired bras and also make them to fit a prosthetic.
This is the one. I will definitely buy more from them

There is no substitute for a professional fitting. Many women find they are not the size they thought they were. The right size and fit should, in theory, equal comfort.

From what you have said I am assuming you are not small busted so, if you don't have a local independent lingerie shop to try, I'd recommend trying Bravissimo. They do have stores where you can have a fitting but also offer virtual fittings:

Finding a style where the underwires sit smoothly against the breastbone and separate the breasts can be a challenge depending on your body shape but a profession fitter can advise on that.

I agree with Bluebelle. If I didn't have fibromyalgia I wouldn't wear one. My most comfortable bras are Royce front fastening. They lift, not sure about separate.

The words bra and comfort never go together in my opinion
When you find one let me know I ve searched for years and no you shouldn’t have to pay a mortgage for a necessity

I have recently bought a selection of bras from Miss Mary of Sweden. They all lift and separate well and are very comfortable. I find underwired are best but know they are not for everyone.

I’m looking for a bra which is comfortable but has “lift and separate!” I have wasted money on ones such as the “lacy bra” and they make my bust look awful. It seems that very comfortable bras are only for small, neat busts.
Any advice very much appreciated.
