Underwire Bras

I need the underwired bras to hold me up as a have been blessed with big boobs. Ive tried the bras without the underwired bit but they dont hold me up and "fold" underneath
So unflattering
But yes more comfy
I look a dress size smaller when wearing a good underwired bra

After my breast cancer surgery, I wore those stretchy, pull over your head bras. Very comfy. But because I was big boobed before, to me, I didn't look like me. So now, I'm back in the plunge, padded, push-up underwires. I look like me, to myself in the mirror.

The fact is that any bra which holds up sagging boobs, whether it is underwired or not, is going to be uncomfortable. Mine seem to have grown after the menopause, from a 38B to a 38DD. I was fitted in a specialist shop for a bra, which is not underwired but so tight around the chest, it digs in. Looks wonderful under fancy, going out clothes, I take off and go bra-less at home.

After a breast operation, 18 months ago, I wore only soft cotton bras that were comfy.
Then I had a bad fall 4 months ago, and cracked my ribs, so it was too uncomfortable to wear any bras at all.
While at the hospital I read in a magazine about soft front fastening bras, and decided to send for 3 to try.

They have been a success and I haven't worn my other bras since.

I never even notice whether my bra is underwired or not, although I know I have both.

After an inspection and feel, I now know today's choice of bra is underwired. The reason I do not notice may be that I take quite a small size, 32B.

I always wear underwired padded bras to give me a defined shape. I dislike the uniboob look.

I have both but prefer underwired most of the time.
I bought one "total support" bra from M&S but as I'm in an E cup, I feel that it squashes more than supports, but in hot weather, as it is cotton lined , it can be very comfortable.
I'd suggest that you try a non wired one - several of the supermarkets also sell them - but you might need to go up a cup size to fit more comfortably - it all depends on why you want to change.

No more underwires for me- wore them all my working life- but I now wear sport type no underwire- bliss. 40D.

Let it all go MiniMoon! I'm a 38DD and go braless quite often.

Ooops, I have found a little shop in York called Leia, they do comfy and fashionable underwires. It’s also an excuse to visit there once a year!

I would love to wear non wired but my cup runneth over. I am a FF cup.

I've got lovely M&S underwired, push-up bras in a wide range of colours. I love them and they are SUPER comfy.

Unfortunately, they have stopped making them, so once these ones give up the ghost, I don't know what I'll do because I know it is rare to find comfortable underwires.

I always wear underwired non padded bras. I recently thought I would try non wired and ordered a couple of different ones from M&S. I really couldn't get on with them at all and much prefer my underwired ones. Each to their own I suppose.

I generally wear an underwired because I am a 36HH cup. But nowadays find the wired a nuisance. However Bravissimo will refund.

I spent an hour in M & S with a fitter without success. She couldn't find a bra to fit in the back and also in the cups.

The soft pull over your head type don't even nearly got no matter of they say that they will.

I can on line find a wireless bra but can forget about support.

I used to always wear underwired bras but about 2 years ago I started to find they really irritated my “underboob”. The only way I could tolerate wearing one was to use Larnacane anti-chafing gel. That really did help but if I ever forgot to use it I would end up in a lot of discomfort.
Last year I bought a couple of soft bras - the ones you pull on over your head - as I was going on holiday and didn’t want my bra to set off the alarms at airport security. I’ve not worn an underwired bra since. They are so comfortable and I’ve had no irritation since I’ve switched.

M & S Total Support bras are very good.

I used to wear bras but don't usually bother now (I'm fairly small anyway). I put one on if I'm going somewhere special - or have a doctor's appointment! I have a good selection of padded gilets for winter anyway so a bra is not needed.

I can’t bear underwired any more I wear bras that keep me together and as I’m unlikely to be running or jogging I don’t bounce although I m a C
I do still like to get it off in the evening though Wish we didn’t need to wear them my friend doesn’t and her boobs although not big are nearly on her tummy

I always wear underwired bras and put them inside the pants for extra security and then in a laundernet bag to avoid buggering up the washing machine.
Recently I bought an unwired bra from the supermarket and it's the worst bra I've ever owned so it's back to good old M&S for me.

I'm a bigger lady but I only wear non-wired bras now. I usually buy these from Curvissa. (Other bra-selling companies are available!) IMO it's much more comfortable to be "wire-free".

Don't wear underwired bras....when I'm at home I don't wear a bra at all. I'm small (wish I had bigger boobs)

Cut a small hole and pulled out the wires - bra just as good.

Only an A cup, so don’t wear an under wired bra. Never worn a padded one either.
My swimsuits don’t have cups or shaping either.
Used to fret about looking flat chested, but not bothered nowadays.

I always wore underwired and padded bras, but had to get some non- wired ones last year after I had a breast op. The revelation! They are so much more comfortable, and I can’t say my breasts look any different. I used to be desperate to get my bra off in the evenings, but not now. I get mine from Marks.

I wear underwired just not comfortable in non wired too bouncy.
