Have any of you bustier gals found a new bra they really like?
I’m searching for a soft bra that supports the girls while not suffocating them and provides a nice shape.
I wear a sports bra as much as possible but need to not always have a compressed uniboob. I love the idea of bralettes but not enough support.
Has anyone tried shapermint or anything else new?

For sizing small to large, I recommend Bali Comfort Revolution. They are very comfortable and adjust to fit you. I’m talking about the style that are small through x large. The style that is individual cup sizes does not automatically adjust to fit you.
I was a bra fitter at a major department store for many years.

I bought into the Shapermint hype. They are comfortable, and hold well.. but… they…. accentuate. Not in a good way.
I only wear them around the house, and really should just toss them. I thought all was fine until I saw a photo of “them.”

I have been an Evelyn and Bobbie fan. They are wire free, very supportive, but also very comfortable. However, they have raised their price to $98 a bra. I think they were $78 when I first started buying them in 2020. Even when there is a sale, you won't be saving much. I'm looking for a cheaper wireless alternative now.

Another Evelyn and Bobbie fan. Late last year, after some weight loss, I decided to try their structured scoop bra cami. I have since purchased 3 more. They are so comfortable and keep everything in place without rolls!! I recently purchased their newest cami style but their sizing had me buy a size smaller than my others and I won’t put it on for fear of not being able to get it off again! I’ll wear it after I lose some more weight.
They have coupons, sales and you earn points. It helps a bit with the big price tag.

I’m large chested and very asymmetrical. Sadly, I’ve never found a bra that is sized as S/M/L/XL, etc that fits properly. One of the best things I did during Covid was going to a specialty bra shop and have them fit me. I gave them the specifications of what I was looking for and tried on a LOT of bras. Because of my size, I discovered I really cannot wear any style of sports bra. I need the adjustable straps and back to get a proper fit and to be comfortable. I cannot tolerate underwire bras or certain fabrics.
I finally found bras from Curvy Couture and Soma. The Curvy Couture are my everyday bra, but I feel like the Soma gives me the best “shape”. Both brands have been worn and washed multiple times and are holding up well.

I just purchased and tried 20 different bras. I wanted lift with no bulk. I kept this one: a.co/d/28HBgzKI read blogs and descriptions and ordered as much as I could from Amazon for the easy returns. Bra sizing should be consistent but it isn’t. I was different sizes in different brands. I have shapermint and it gaps at the bottom. It’s s-m-l sizing so in order to fit my cup size, the band is too big. I did get a similar seamless bra from VS that came in cup sizes and it fit much better. |

I want to add my specifications included completely adjustable straps. I liked my soma bra a lot but the straps over the shoulder were only half adjustable so they remained too long. I didn’t want a minimizer
Because in my experience they just pull the breast tissue to the side, and I don’t need anything that makes me look wider. I wanted front and center and reasonable lift without padding.

So sexy, I had all kinds of colors, like hot pink and lime green. I thought they were gone forever! IDK if my now much older saggy post child girls would look quite the same in them though. lol. Thanks for sharing that link! Ohhhh..memories! |

I just bought two bralettes from Montelle Intimates that I am really liking. I am a 42F for reference. They are bra-sized (mine is a 42 F/G) with a typical bra closure in the back but no wires. The straps could be more comfortable as they are pretty thin but the bra itself is very comfy & pretty and doesn't give me a uniboob shape. It's not as lifting as a regular bra but also not as droopy as a regular bralette, KWIM? My girls are REALLY heavy so this is a win for me.

I am very busty and stick with Wacaol for the support. But they have wire.
Very flattering in almost everything I wear.
