Underwire Bras

I have worn under-wired bras for at least fifty years; confession: it was my underwire that buggered up the Bendix washing machine in the college laundry room in 1967.

Had the same problem until I got fitted at MS last year. Mine had ‘widened’. I spent over an hour and a half with a fitter trying on piles of bras. I came away with five that don’t dig in, very pleased.

I've only got one underwire bra, a black one that I wear with my posh frock.
My others are medium control fro M&S.

I'd love to go bra free, but haven't got the nerve as I'm 36 D cup.

I used to find them very comfortable but as I've aged and my boobs have 'softened' (lost density - dunno how to describe it) they have started digging in under the arms.
Larger or smaller cup sizes don't seem to help so I've resorted to non-wired but they don't give the same support.

As I'm only a 'B' cup I have never worn a underwire. I don't need the support so no need for the discomfort.

I used to wear underwired bras now I can't stand them. Good old M&S has some good 'total support' ones if that's what you want. Otherwise the soft ones are so comfy if not too worried about the support aspect.
