What's the best kind of bra to get if you're a bit bigger and wobblier in the bust department?

Margrete, may I be cheeky too and ask your age?

Most of the women seem to be wearing the wrong bra size. Very few of us know the importance of wearing perfect bra size. Almost all of us don't know how to measure bra size and as a result they tend to wear wrong bra.
I have found an article which talks about all these things and also about different types of bra which are available in the market. I am sharing the article www.popxo.com/2015/02/find-the-perfect-bra-for-your-boobs/ , please have a look, if you really care about your breast.

Doreen is now available in lots of colours @aprilinparis

I've recently purchased purple, plum and sky blue - they also have bright pink if you fancy it!

I find bras uncomfortable whether fitted or not. I take them off every afternoon /evening. last night I was on a plane....took it off anyway as I couldnt bear it any longer. don’t think the man beside my dh noticed....I used the undo, slip off arms under top method, then whip it off and away with a flourish. Toned down the flourish last night though; as we were fairly squashed in cattle class Thompson’s. TUI. Think I got away with it. smile

They're not made wide enough at all. Good fit over the bust but a last hook fastening making the bust squash together instead of keeping them separated. I'm not big by any means but have a broad back.

Just a tip - I have long ago given up on sexy bras and when I ent for the more matronly and supportive type (sadly they are bras for comfort) I wasn't sure where to start. M&S were ok, but when I travelled to visit my son I went shopping. The JD/HJ/TJ? Hughes store in his town had a whole section of what looked like very supportive bras, well made and cheaper than M&S and others.

I am sorry I cannot remember the name or makes but Triumph featured as well as others and they came in a whole range of sizes. I have a broad back but smallish bosums. Getting a 40 A or B cup is pretty impossible - they seem to offer C cups going through to DDs and Es....so small chest me is at a loss! However, that Hughes store - I really cannot remember the initials and cannot be bothered mid post to look it up - had a fantastic range! I bought three very comfy bras.

Oh and Lemon I totally agree - there is no such thing as a comfy bra. As soon as I get in I unhook, and have, now I'm retired, been known to go out braless of late! shock
