Welp. I have three decent bras. Last week the underwire broke in two of them. And yesterday's laundry yielded the wire busting out of the third. Yikes! I have put off buying new bras and put off buying new bras and now I kind of have to. (Buying new bras is like buying tires for your car. You need them, but there are much more exciting things to spend money on.)
I have decided I want to try the underwire free bras at Evelyn and Bobbie. But I'm unsure if I want the Evelyn bra or the Beyond bra. Any fans want to weigh in?
And please do weigh in if you just hate their bras. I've done a lot of research and I'm thinking these are the bras I want to try but if you have horrible experiences with them, I want to hear about it.
If it makes a lick of difference, I am a 44D. So not a tiny girl and not tiny breasts. Thanks.

I have a bunch of Evelyn and Bobbie bras. I love having the support without underwires. Out of the 2 you mentioned I greatly prefer the Beyond bra over the Evelyn. The Evelyn is too wide in the back for me. My favorite style is the Starlette Plunge but this style I found I have to go up a size otherwise the cups are too small. They have a sale going on right now and they will probably have an even better Black Friday sale. They have excellent customer service should you need to return or exchange. You get reward points towards future purchases when you shop with them. When you first get the bra it will feel tight, you need to wear it to break it in so don’t be worried if it seems too small when you first try it on as it will stretch to fit you.

I have one of each but my real preference is their structured scoop bra tank. I love them so much that I have four and I wore them through the heat of the summer. I cannot tell you how much better I feel wearing these.

Love, love, love the Beyond. The other style I have ( I forget the name of it) I love once it’s on, but you must slip it on over your head like a T-shirt and I prefer the hooks in the back. Not sure I will ever buy any other brand again.

I don’t love that brand. My breast tissue goes way to the sides of my chest and they just didn’t fit.
I need a wire and support as I’m a 32H and nursed 2 kids.

I love Evelyn and Bobbie bras! I have the Eveyln style, the Defy style, the Beyond, and the Starlette plunge. I prefer the Beyond because it has the ability to adjust at the back. The Eveyln and the Defy are both great though, it's just that it's a pull on so as the bra ages, you won't have the ability to tighten it at the back. The one style I would stay away from as a 36 DD is the Starlette plunge. My boobs start to spill out of the plunge and I don't like having to adjust throughout the day.

I bought two beyond bras after recommendations here. I would say right now they are my go-to bras but they aren’t the most flattering under clothes on me. I thought they looked good until I saw some photos and I look pretty frumpy. That being said I have tried many others and can’t find exactly what I’m looking for. I recently bought an Eby bra and it’s too small. I haven’t decided if I’ll return it or exchange but their customer service hasn’t been helpful.

While the name of this bra is definitely NOT sexy, I switched to this bra (after trying a BUNCH) after completing my weight loss last year (and I also nursed). I am a 32DD or a 34D with boobies that have definitely gone south (some extra skin to the sides and back due to the loss) and need SUPPORT. I LOVE them and the girls haven't looked this good since I was in my early 30's. www.wacoal-america.com/shape-revelation-pendulous-underwire-bra-855387 |

My fav bras are Wacoal TShirt u/w--I've worn them for years and find them very comfortable. I tried the Beyond Bras a while back when they were recommended here. At first they seemed really comfy, but I found I couldn't make the straps as long as I need and the side set too high on my underarms and not comfortable. I am back to my Wacoals and still find them the most comfortable bras on me.

I don't like the one I got. Very unflattering shapewise - it just don't have the "oomph" I need. It would be perfect as an around the house bra, but the hooks keep coming undone when I wear it, so that's annoying.
That said, I'm a 34ff in UK sizes and my boobs have slid down over the years. I'm generally hard to fit.

I pulled the trigger and bought both styles. One of each. I'll wear them a while and see if I like them before buying anymore. I appreciate all your feedback.

I'm on the Natori site and kinda like the one you wear, especially the fun colors. Do you find it to be true to size? |

I wear a 34G in Chantelle and 32FF in Fantasie so fairly true to size. Nordstrom sells them in store and sometimes you can find them cheaper on 6pm.com I love the style I wear because it’s really supportive and I don’t get a uniboob. It’s got a padded lining layer and then the outside fabric. The straps are pretty much infinitely adjustable. I wore them when nursing and just unhooked the strap and rehooked it. It did take some work 😂 |
