Hi I’m looking for comfortable strapless bra .. don’t even mind those horrible plastic straps … I’m a 36 c/d uk size but omg they are either so tight to make boobs stay up or so flimsy they droop down … help please

If I wore a strapless bra by boobs would be round my ankles.

As a teenager I used to lament about having small boobs
Now mid seventies I am glad , my bra is always comfy

Same here in my experience. If only …

In my experience the words “comfortable” and “strapless” do not describe any bra I have ever worn.

It’s an oxymoron to use comfortable and bra together.

I’d need reinforced engineering to prop up my frontage !

That's why I've taken to mostly wearing bralettes, so much more comfortable.
I do still wear a bra occasionally if I want to look more uplifted...

Same here henetha. Very comfortable. I had a strapless bra once, decades ago, and I remember it was very uncomfortable and tended not to stay up properly. At the risk of sounding ageist, not many older ladies look good in strapless tops. Living in a holiday area, I see a good few of them.

I have one which is fairly comfortable it is by M&S body soft collection
I don't wear strapless tops but I have a evening dress which is sheer at the shoulders and I have found it reasonably comfortable.

Bralettes are wonderful, aren't they GSM. I've got some sporty ones, and some pretty lacy ones.
I had a strapless bra once, years ago, and couldn't get it to stay up. My lifestyle now doesn't really need them any more. grin

They are. So comfortable that you don’t know you’re wearing them.

Thanks for sharing same thoughts will check out new M&S soft range when home … I bought the bralets earlier in year … life changer . I’m living in hot climate for part of this year so will be in strappy dresses a lot … 🙈

I have felt like Bluebelle for about 2 decades now.
For me there isn’t a strapless one to do the job.
I choose pretty bra straps and if they show, they show (though I don’t wear strapless tops anymore.

I'm a 36 E and I got mine from George in asda , fits a treat

Good Luck! There is not enough elastine, or whatever, in the world to hike up my too ample frontage where it belongs.

Comfortably? Not a chance in my opinion. Straps work well, for me.
