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

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.

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'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.

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

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.

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

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

Just curious!

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

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.

Larger than your usual size?

I have been reading an ad showing pictures of a bra supposed to be more comfortable for older ladies. It looks just the thing with wide straps, support etc. but I cannot sort out the sizing! It gives weight and says to send for one size larger but larger than what?!
