Let's Talk Bras....

[Soulsearching]

I need your support .

What Brand of Bra are you loyal to?

I know this may be TMI, but I'm a 36D and I can't find the perfect Bra.

I'm looking for full coverage, no seems, no padding and GREAT SUPPORT for a Great Price!

Let me rephrase that, at this point and with the aging process , I'm willing to pay for a Great Bra.

Help!

Hi

Also a 36D and do not like underwires.

Wacoal (not sure if I'm spelling it correctly) is great. Probably about $50 for a bra.

The come in both underwire and without. Probably one of the few brands I've found that give the support of an underwire without it.

I also wear Warner's which I like and are very comfortable but not as supportive.

Happy Bra Shopping!

I'm a 34DD and I've found that a little padding helps with shaping and support for me. This is my favorite.

Body by Victoria. I'm extremely brand loyal since they are the only ones that fit without shifting around and have zero padding, comfortable straps and have full coverage.
I wear a 40DD and they sell up to that size in the stores.

36DD here and I like the Cacique from Lane Bryant. You don't have to be a larger woman to buy there. I am a size 6 but I have a discount store here called Gabriel Bros. that often has them for 5 bucks or less, that's how I found them at first or I would have never thought to buy from Lane Bryant. I wait for a good coupon and a sale and get them pretty reasonably priced.

The IPEX bra and Body by Victoria at Victoria's Secret. Their bra's are usually around $50+ but they're such great quality and feel sooooooooo good (although I don't wear a very big one ).

36G here. I've been there done that with bras more times than I care to remember.

Lilyette and I only buy when there are sales. And I know it sounds strange but Fredrick's of Hollywood. They have amazingly supportive bras and I can wear them all day with never having to adjust the girls.

I like Jockey. I don't think you know what you're missing when it comes to "padding". It's not meant to provide bulk, it's meant to provide support.

I second this, however I frequently have good luck at finding them at TJMaxx or Marshalls for around $15.00

I've always loved Bali no underwire bras. I've been a few cup sizes as I lost 100lbs from 42DD to 34C. They have been the best for full support and you don't fall out of when you have to lean over. I buy mine on sale at Kohls.

I've never been able to find anything that keeps you in at Victoria Secret when you lean over.

I pick bras that are not all cotton as I have found that those like to shrink in the wash so I get the ones that have an all spandex like cup without the cotton padding inside.

Bali girl here.

I used to purchase at Kohls but found that I can get better prices and free shipping when buying them directly.

 

[DVCsince02]

I've always been happy with Lane Bryant's selection.

 

[GinCar]

Another recommendation for Wacoal. I can find them on clearance, occasionally.
I wish there existed a bra that supports, lasts, and can wear with a thin t-shirt for cheaper, but I have been unable to find it.

Good luck with your search. I rank bra shopping right up there with swimsuit shopping.

I've always had issues with this as well, as I am a 38DDD. I love Wacoal, but recently bought several Cacique bras from Lane Bryant and I can honestly say I like them just as much if not better. I would have never thought to look there either since I don't need clothes there, but on the recommendation of my SIL I tried them out and they are indeed great, and a LOT cheaper than Wacoal when you can get them on sale. They recently had B2G2 and they also frequently have $25 off $75 coupons, so you end up paying something like $10/bra.

The bras at Target beat out the ones from Victorias Secret according to Consumer Reports. For the price they can't be beat.

Body by Victoria or the very sexy full coverage bra, they support you, shape you and hold you up and when they are up where they belong you look thinner and clothes fit properly i wear nothing else and my bra's have gotten 3 years of use and they still work like day one my best investment ever in a bra

 

[ThanksForNoticingMe]

The store Soma has nice bras...you can also order them online. BetteR quality than Victoria's Secret...in my opinion.

I used to wear VS Body by Victoria but the price was just getting to be ridiculous.

I went to Kohls and bought a few different bras. When I found one I liked, I went back and purchased more. They are about half the price of the ones at VS. The brand is called Barely There.

Here's a link. (Hopefully it works.)

I don't wear a larger size though so I'm not sure how it works for ladies with bigger bust sizes.

They say hand wash but I'm too lazy for that. I just was them on delicate and hang them to dry. Some I've had for over a year now and they are still in new condition. Can't say the same for some of the VS bras I've purchased in the past.

 

[Mrs. Charming]

Bali or Cacique, especially when the Cacique ones are on sale! I go anywhere in size from a 38DD to a 40D to a 40DD because of having DD, putting on weight, losing weight, and now being pg again. So I'm on a bra rollercoaster.

 

[gasman61]

Hope it's not too much off topic, but I am needing to find a strapless bra for my 38 DD daughter's prom dress. Can anyone steer us toward a comfortable and supportive strapless for a larger size?
