Yeah... I keep looking for the perfect one, and I think I've tried just about all of them. I think some will work for some people, but none of them will work for everyone in all circumstances. Personally, I can't stand it when the band is tight and I feel like I can't breathe. I'm interested in your opinions, please.

Thumbnail reviews of those I've tried:

Ahh! bra: Kind of average in terms of support and band-tightness, but you do need to size up at least one or two. I had an older one bought before I realized this, and it was tight, so I slashed, yes, slashed it down the back. Added in some stretchy material, and now I can wear it and BREATHE. BTW, I wasn't aware that Michael's now carries this brand, and in the bigger sizes, too!

Genie: The firmest fabric of all, and probably the tightest band. Had to size way up. Those modesty thingies are a good idea, and definitely help with support, but they are too small, and they wiggle around. BB&B carries these, but not in the 'cool' colors, lol.

Bali: Lightest weight of all, and the only one where I didn't have to size up, but support's not great, and sometimes the band still annoys me. ;p You can get them off Amazon.

Comfortisse: I saw these on SNBC! They looked good, haven't tried them yet, anyone care to weigh in? Thanks.

Looking forward to hearing your experiences. Are there any brands I've forgotten?
