Suggestions for a comfy, leisure bra - is there such a thing?

AngelPuppy1 · ‎03-13-2010

This may be an odd request, but here goes. Does anyone here have a recommendation or suggestion for a comfortable, leisure bra? I wear my p.j.s. and lounge clothes around the house probably 95% of the time. These items of clothing are not skimpy at all and I'm well covered. However, I would like a bra to wear that is comfortable and light (no underwires) to wear during the day in case somebody comes to the door, etc. I'm not overly endowed - just average I guess you would say. I have tried some of the stretchy bras but they seem to give me a "uni-boob" look, which I don't like and is not comfortable and does not look good at all. Anyone???

Have you tried any yet? I like Rhonda Shears ahhh-bras. She has 20 different types and they are comfortable ( but many say they aren't supportive enough)- I am 34b so not large-busted but I love them. I don't get a uniboob look. They go on sale all the time too. Try them!

Search bra on here, the forum. There are several, not too old threads that I have tried and liked.

I buy "Genie" bras (step in). I am not "busty"......but I still have to SIZE UP. All these sports and leisure styles run really small.

I was going on a hiking trip in October but didn't want to wear my sport bras, because they are tight (compression) and uncomfortable to wear for hours on end. Plus, even though I am smallish on top (36A), they gave me a uniboob look. So I bought these from Amazon and loved them! I wear them with the pads to give shape and coverage. For me, they do not give a uniboob look at all, and I felt comfortable with the shape they gave me wearing them under a light t-shirt as our days warmed up while hiking. They are very comfortable to wear, and the pads do not shift. I do take the pads out and hand wash the pads. But for the actual bras, I put them in lingerie bags and wash them in cold with my good clothes.

The size chart indicated I should order an XL, so I did, but they were too big. I returned them and sized down to a large, and they were perfect. Like I said earlier, I am a 36A so not big but the large is what I needed in these.

I like cotton bras which aren't easy to find. I find them comfortable and breathable. I found one at Jockey that is organic cotton. I don't feel like I'm wearing a bra. I can't post a link but this is the name.

My favorite bra is playtex 4159.

When you lose some one you L~O~V~E, that Memory of them, becomes a TREASURE.

I wear Fruit of the Loom front closure Beyond Soft cotton bras. I like that they hook in the front because I don't like step-in bras and it also eliminates the uni-boob look. They are sold by band size.
