Bras - boned or not boned?

Anno you MUST be very trim is all I can say! I'd never get my bra past my knees if I did it that way! Lol!

Can I ask, do they measure you without clothes? I suppose so but I don't know for sure...

mollie, I find it much easier to put my bra on over my feet and pull it up rather than wrestle it round.

Mollie forget the department stores and find a lingerie shop near you if you can. They will measure you correctly, let you try a variety of bras on and find one that's comfortable.

Oh yes. I was thinking under-wired.

I've always bought boned/underwired despite being skewered once or twice. I'm having a rethink now that I have problems with shoulders and getting my arms back to do a bra up. Tried swivelling a boned bra around from front to back last week and nearly killed myself in the process so I'm seriously thinking of opting for non-boned in future... I barely fill a C cup but think my oomph days are behind me so it has to be comfort first!

I wear boned bras but I do hate them.
I have 'Bra O'clock' in the afternoon, when I rummage up my sleeves and remove my bra straps, and then whip it from under my top with a flourish!

NO not when I'm out

The most comfortable ones are made by Lejaby. The wires are set wider than some of the others.

By 'boned' do you mean under-wired?

these do me (worn them for years)

There are health issues regarding boned bras. Daughter stopped wearing them. (I have never worn one in my life)

Decided to take advantage of the 20% discount yesterday and bought 2 non underwired bras and agree about the comfort!

Our ASDA seems to produce just one type of bra - foam padded and underwired; neither of which I need . so I trundle off to good old Marks and buy white cotton, non underwired, decidedly unglamorous but oh so comfortable, bras.
