Need a comfortable bra

gailcoco · ‎04-19-2012

This message is for all busty women who are size 40D-DD and over, preferably with rolls and lumps and bumps.

The Playtex bras I have are starting to disintegrate from wear but Playtex stopped making the style I like. I have been on a quest for a comfortable bra that supports but nothing is coming close. Why works for you?

Please no Genie or Ahhh bras - they do not work for me at all!!! And no suggestions that I get fitted....I know what size I wear and need. I prefer seamless cups that kind of stretch with the breast.

Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Gailchap...have you tried the Playtex 18 Hr. Ultimate Lift? I'm a 40DD and it is a super comfortable bra with good support.

You should contact Wendy (how u doing?) Williams because her bra(s) always appear seamless w/excellent support.

Wacoal and Spanx. I'm not as busty ( 34C ) but I swear by these brands.

If one has been professionally fitted, the phrase 'not comfortable' shouldn't exist. It only takes 5-10+/- pounds of body weight to change the size of the bra.

I would suggest getting re-fitted from a professional bra fitter at a reputable department store...and greater than zero chance they will suggest Wacoal brand.

I only wear Chantelle bras. They are so comfortable you can sleep in them!

I can no longer wear a underwire but I have found a perfect bra for me (42D) the Vanity Fair wire free style but has great support system. I can wear it all day, smooth and comfy.

I think it's called wireless caress bra.

I'm a 36DD and the only bra I wear is the Playtex 18 hour comfort strap bra. They're sold all over and online. I can't wear an underwire and this bra works for me. It's comfortable and uplifting. The key is not to wear bras forever. They do lose their umph after awhile. I look online for sales and then stock up. I usually wash them in the machine but occasionally I do the right thing and hand wash. That makes them last longer

Wacoal. I went to Nordstom and they fitted me (I'd been way off on what I thought my correct size was). Then they brought in 5-6 styles for me to try on.

I love the Wacoal 855192 and 853192. Lots of places carry those styles. I like them both equally well.

I'm a 36DD now I was a 40DD. Even with my weight loss, I still wear those style bras. Pricey, but sometimes you can find them for a little cheaper from Ebay, Amazon or directly from Wacoal's site.

Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

I'm on the same quest - to find a comfortable bra (42DD). To complicate things, I've had heart surgery which means that I have a long incision down the middle of my chest and a bra puts pressure on it making it borderline painful - that eliminates the wired style. At home, I wear a sports bra which gives little or no suport but at least, it doesn't put much pressure on that incision. Frankly, I don't think there is such a thing as a comfortable bra. I'd really rather go without but decorum dictates that I should! I recently tried Breezies Wld Rose Seamless Wirefree, A260367. Good support and as comfortable as any other I've tried so far.
