What is the most comfortable bra you have ever bought?

I love Fantasie bras. I've worn this brand for many years as they're such a good fit.

Whatever style of bra I wear I can never keep the straps from sliding off my shoulders. I adjust them and make sure the band fits snuggly but down they go again. Any ideas anyone?

Some years ago I went to Rigby & Peller, got measured and bought some of their recommendations, which in my big boobed case was Prima Donna - I buy nothing else now. They are pricey but goodness me the fit and comfort is superb.

It’s good to get a proper fitting - independent lingerie shops are best. M&S notoriously poor. Bras should not be uncomfy and it’s about finding the correct style as well as size. I only ever buy a Panache Tango nowadays - the only bra I’ve ever found comfortable. I’m a larger cup size and very narrow shoulders so straps are always an issue for me with other bras.

I used to buy my bras from Bravissimo but they were costing about £40 each. I came across some lovely ones by George at Asda for about £16 for 2. I didn’t expect much TBH but didn’t have time to go into the city to Bravissimo.

They have washed well and are surprisingly comfy and give a nice shape under tops.

I find Body Bras the most comfortable. I am not large by any means, but could never find a comfortable bra. Now I don't know I am wearing one.

Do you mean the Body range from M&S?

Get a JL professional fitting. Explain exactly what type of bra you are looking for, wired, non wired, padded etc,

I’m another one saying get properly measured and not at M&S. I was once measured there around a thick winter jumper. I have larger cup sizes and go to bravissimo. Since using them I can say I’ve never had an uncomfortable bra. I think possibly wearing a too large band size is where most problems stem from

Yes! M+S put me in a 36D, it was agony got remeasured at Bravissimo and now happy in a 34G ,apparently some shops miss sizes and do an add 4 calculation (no idea!)
I have also got a comfy bra from Conturve

Bravissimo certainly do supply bras with cup sizes smaller than a D as I shop there and I'm usually a 36B or C.
The option of having a emphatic assistant who will go backwards and forwards letting you try on different bras until you are happy with something, is to me, well worth paying a little bit more for your bra

I don't know how I'd ever get my bra up past my hips if I had to step into it!

Online I buy Boody underwear I have bought the bras now in every colour they are pull on thick straps non padded and wash very well. The pants are good too I wouldn’t buy anything else now for comfort

Specialist fitters seem intent on putting you in a bra that’s too tight round the rib cage. So uncomfortable, especially in summer. I’ve yet to find a comfortable bra, especially with post-menopausal larger breasts. 😡

Rotator cuff injury means I have to fasten bra in front and then turn it round to back. I did try front fastening but found them uncomfortable. The most comfortable bra is one by Fantasia brand though wouldn't say its a "leisure" style. I usually go for bra fitting as body changes almost every year. I find John Lewis best with M & S next.

Hate bras! Haven't worn one for years now. I'm not hugely well endowed so what was sold as a sleeping vest with built in support from JL works so well I bought six of them. Unfortunately they're not selling them anymore which is gutting. They actually look like a smart vest top if the nicely wide straps show under a blouse. I'm hoping they'll get them in again 🤞.

The most comfortable bras I've ever had came from the Cancer Research people. They were recommended for post-surgery. I had a mastectomy with DIEP reconstruction and these bras fasten at the front. Very soft and comfy. Even 18 months further on and I'm back to 'normal' bras (though non-wired, for ever), I still sometimes wear them.

Haven’t worn one since I was 20. 54 years ago.

Nandalot I also pull my bra up over my hips and I can assure you they are definitely not slim

Bazza exactly Bazza, I have often wondered if men design bras, I cannot believe that after all these years someone hasn`t designed a bra that is comfortable and easy to put on and wear!

My feelings too!

I have yet to find one- sorry. The one I have prefer now I bought from Bravissimo several years ago but it is getting worn out. Due to losing a breast to cancer years ago it is even more difficult finding decent bras. I have no idea who designs them but they clearly don't have breasts- or even one breast!

I also use Bravissimo and find that they last reasonably well, though they often seem to discontinue the ones that I like. I need support and, unlike others, prefer a wired bra for this reason. They also do un-wired and pull on bras so they might be worth a look Freeandeasy?
You can speak to a fitter on the phone and if you give them your measurements they'll tell you what is likely to fit. If they don't fit you can return them for exchange or refund.

One of my friends can't get into a normal back closing bra and has found that front closing maternity bras are ideal for her.

Comfortable bra?! Surely an oxymoron,

If I’m at home all day, I don’t bother wearing a bra.

But when I do, it’s a bra/vest type with pads sewn in.
Bought mine from Primark two years ago.
I also like the bralets.

I cannot wear any bra which has a fastening - i hate anything hard on my back. I usually wear Primark or Matalan. So easy to pull on and so easy to wear.
In previous years I've had a professional fitter measure me - more than once, The recommended bras are usually so tight that I can't wear them for more than 30 minutes.
