Comfort bras

I've got several from a British company called Big Bloomers. They are not the cheapest but are so comfortable and they wash and last really well too. Their knickers are brilliant too - I wouldn't buy from anywhere else

Thanks for the recommendation. Desperate for all day comfort so ordered 3.

Maybe just what these old girls need!
Just received my Big Bloomers, so soft and feels comfortable. Fairly supportive.

Thank you BladeAnnie

I’ve bought a couple of bras from here recently, they are so comfy:

Their high rise briefs are excellent too!

Your breasts shouldn't really be supported by your shoulders so I'm not sure that cutting the back off can really be a good thing as it's the under-bust band that does the "supporting".

Sew the front of a bra into a close-fitting vest (or a favourite dress) with firm stitching at the shoulders and sides. Cut the back section away - and find a little comfort with room to breathe.

I just can't stand anything tight around my back, maybe due to autism? I've even considered sewing onto braces, which should work, I think. Even bras I can tolerate (for short periods of time) seem to have shoulder straps too short for me - so I'll replace them with ribbon, crossed over at the back.

They do loads don’t they. I can’t wear anything with lace on.I’ve got two that I bought at the same time thinking that they were identical. But when I washed them the padding on one of them was really weird and I’ve never worked out how to put it back in!

someone recommended Sloggi on GNet and I bought a couple. They are so comfortable but they don't seem to go much above XL..

Bras are a nightmare for me these days. I’m 44b and I’ve tried several comfort bras and haven’t found one that does the trick. Wriggling in and out of them is the problem for me. I have to go in head first, can’t imagine stepping in!

Oh no. It says up to K on another page. Apologies!

BladeAnnie - the trouble is they only go up to an E cup...

I’ve just bought some with padding from eBay they are really comfortable no more wires digging into me

I have been on gransnet for about 8 years and there have been threads about comfortable bras every so often throughout. I have read every post with hope in my heart to, at last, find a recommendation for a comfortable bra but, alas, it has never happened So I struggle on with pull on bras for every day which do nothing for my shape but make me feel decent and, usually, come off when I am home. For smarter times I have a white and a black M&S underwired bra which seems ok at first but by evening time I can't wait to take it off! I also have a couple of M&S bras with a sort of uni-cup ... they can be comfortable but sometimes can be very uncomfortable under my boobs. So they come off asap. Quite honestly if I could find a comfortable bra .... no matter the cost (within reason) .... I would buy myself two or three and be a very happy lady

After 60 years of bra wearing, I’ve yet to find one I would call truly comfortable. But being “well endowed “ I can’t do without one in public. Best moment of my day is when I take the wretched thing off and my bosom flies free!

I think this type of bra is unsuitable for those of us with larger breasts!

I like to feel I'm "facing forward" and not saggy. I'm actually perfectly comfy in a well-fitting underwired bra - mine have no padding. I put one on after my shower in the morning and unless I go swimming it stays on until I go to bed.

I've tried loads of comfort bras in the past, but they only look good for 5 minutes and then I develop a uniboob.

Lemonade make comfy bras without wires and have a wide range of sizes.

This is the advert that I noticed on line recently, for the Daisy bra and others. I was a bit unsure about sizing too!

Earlier on this thread I mentioned a company called Spuskey who sell these bras. Looking at the advert I would say this is the same company so I would not buy anything from them.

Same 🔥🔥🔥in advert, similar grey haired ladies modelling and exactly the same size chart. They are scammers who operate from China and do not reply to emails, do not refund money so you are well and truly stumped! The quality is poor, the sizing is ridiculously incorrect. They advertise under one name, eg Spuskey, get thousands of orders and thousands of complaints, then change to a very similar name, egSupskey or the one in the advert. Facebook do nothing about it.
AVOID, AVOID, AVOID.

I recently bought the pack of 3 bralets from M & S which have removable padding. However, I don't feel confident wearing one and cannot understand the padding position. I cannot return them as I have cut out the back label because it was so annoying so am now left with 3 bralets which will probably go to the charity shop. Another £20 wasted.

This!

They have these in M and S and you can try them on. They also have that design with a back fastening like a regular bra, I find those easier to put on than having to put them on over my head.

I have bought a few of these over the years and cannot find one that fits even if i go up a couple of sizes, maybe im in denial about my weight gain and size 🤔😊

In my world, there so such thing as a comfort bra. I suffer with costochondritis as part of my all round fibromyalgia- my chest hurts all the time & always feels like I'm wearing an over-tight bra , even when I'm not wearing one at all. As you can imagine, I don't wear one unless I really have to, then it's either crop top types from Primark or, if I'm going out somewhere very special and/or want to feel feminine, Damart of all people do some very pretty non-wired bra sets.

Here’s what I’ve learned about bras (I don’t wear them anymore - I’m on the small side). I did wear them for work though and still have a drawer full in case I have a dressy event.

For comfort:
• look for underarm side panels that are high/wide cut. The higher the side, more support.
• under your breast line the bras with excess rubber/lycra going down your midriff claiming more support, more than likely will roll up and bunch under your cups. Ick.
• wider shoulder straps are more comfortable. Lightly padded are good.
• a molded cup, rather than a plain cloth unlined cup, is more comforting.
• a strapless bra - if you can pull it off - is the best for me. I discovered I hate straps!!

But here’s the rub - most women are not wearing their correct size. You may have to increase your cup size or chest measurement to get the right fit. Try that in the dressing room before buying!

I wear comfort bras all the time, have done for a few years since I kept getting rib pain. I'm a 44c in ordinary bras but have some really comfy ones from Amazon in a 4xl size
