Comfort bras

Larger than your usual size?

I sent for one as I have trouble with my shoulder.
Ordered as per instructions but found it uncomfortable as it flattened and made my ‘ boobs’ feel as if they were under my arms.. Disappointed.

I wear them if I am in hospital, I always go larger.

So what IS it?
This comfortable sized by weight bra that tidies breasts away under your arms and is good for hospital use?


Just curious!

This!

One of those bras that you step into and pull up? Look up Sankom.

If this is a company called Spuskey then avoid them like the plague. They are scammers who advertise on Facebook. The ads show attractive older ladies wearing them with scores of fake reviews. If you leave a bad review they don’t publish them.

They are made in China, take weeks to arrive and are the worst possible quality. They have no support whatsoever and the sizes are way out! They have a size chart which is meaningless and you end up with a bra which just about covers your nipples and no more!

They sell packs of 3 for £26.99 but no return address or labels. I don’t give up easily so got a full refund via Paypal. Most people only realise they have been conned when they look on Trust Pilot and type in Spuskey and see hundreds of zero rated reviews.

Always always always read the reviews on trustpilot or similar
My friend told me to buy of one site which she said was brilliant but the reviews were 96% poor so I m not chancing it

I'd trust a friend's recommendation more than anything online. I have had negative reviews removed, even by M&S. Positive ones that sound too good to be true usually are.
I'd buy a similar bra from a trusted retailer.

Sankom is Swiss. Their bras are not cheap, made from bamboo or organic cotton. Available from Amazon. Lots of other makes available for this type of step-in bra.

I wear them Marydoll , bought some in lockdown. Still wear them! When going out for the evening I wear a traditional bra to give a better shape! I have quite a lot , the three basic colours you have shown , plus bras in every colour of the rainbow - love them!! Comfy but not designed for shape - however I am usually in over sized t shirts / tops so I don't worry.

Seen ads for Daisy bra on Amazon. They have poppers on the front and look soft.

What make are the? They seem to have more shape than the comfort bras I wear. I have got a couple of Sloggi bras that are comfortable but I’m thankful that I ‘m pretty flat chested and can go bra less in this weather. However, I was so embarrassed by my lack of cleavage I think I would have been tempted to have them operated on when I was young. I remember my MIL asking me what I wanted for Christmas one year and I said ‘ a cleavage….’.

Maybee, I know QVC sell them. I can't remember, where I got mine, it was ages ago.
I keep them in my hospital bag, as sometimes I end up in a mixed ward. I am rather well endowed (would rather not be, for such a wee woman) and don't want to sit with my arms folded all the time. 😉

I've never found a bra that's comfortable. Like jackets and shoes, I don't wear them at home, just for going out.

Gosh, MayBee70 I Have always been entrely thankful that I do not have a cleavage, but then I was a 60's chick and the fashion then was for shapes like mine.

My advice to anyone considering a different style of bra to what they normally wear is to go and have a proper measure and fit - there are independent shops around that do this despite M & S no longer doing it and Debenhams and BHS having closed down.
I go to one about an hours drive away, pay for the consultation and that fee is deducted from the purchase of a proper fitting bra.

Surely, the term "comfort bra" is an oxymoron?

I can see the need for a bra of this type when you’re lying in bed in hospital, definitely, but I don’t understand why people can’t find normal bras that aren’t uncomfortable, as until I read a thread on here a few weeks ago I didn’t realise it was an issue at all. Surely if your bra fits you properly and has good support you don’t really notice you’re wearing it, having worn one since your early teens? I must be missing something, but I would have thought that a bra that’s fitted for you would be more comfortable than one which is stretchy and provides less support.

I only wear a comfort bra, in hospital. Totally impractical to wear a proper one, with heart issues.
I'm sure we are all aware of the need to be measured to find the correct size, but do we all actually follow that advice?

I wear mine for casual days but still like a good bra for dressing up. They are very comfortable so if you get used to them an ordinary bra does feel quite restrictive. I got a larger size than I would normally get as the first ones I tried were too tight. I get mine on eBay - 3 for 10 pounds. I don't have a huge bust though.

Looking at the posted pictures, I wear something similar in the day from M n S.

Similar but they put my boobs where they should, not round the side. But if I were more well endowed I'd probably look for more support for the day. Size wise on the M n S ones its 10,12,14,16, 18 and so on and buy on larger side. Great colour range to wear under different clothes.

In the night at home I always wear a cheaper version from Amazon without the padding - so comfy not flopping around!

Tried them, okay for wearing around the house , but no way would I wear outside it.

I'm only a B Freya so they look OK out and about....but its also hard to go back now onto ordinary bras after the comfort ones.
