I researched the most supportive bra for large breasts to find the perfect option for comfort lift and all day support. After reading expert reviews from trusted sources and checking highly recommended styles, two bras consistently stand out as top-rated options for fuller bust sizes.
Soft seamless fabric for smooth wear under clothes
Comfortable for daily use and long hours
Gentle push-up lift without underwire
Flexible fit with good shaping support
Both seem excellent but I am having trouble deciding which one is best for my needs.I am mainly looking for a bra that offers:strong support for large breasts, comfortable all-day wear, good lift and shape, no shoulder strain and smooth fit under clothes.
Does anyone here have experience with either of these bras?I would love to hear your thoughts, recommendations or any expertsuggestions before I buy.
I’ve not heard of either. I’m a 38DD edging towards an E and like Fantasie underwired with side supports. When looking for non wired I’ve found Boody to be very comfortable and supportive.
But everybody’s bust is different. It’s taken a while to find perfect for me as my breasts aren’t particularly together and point away from each other when they’re not rounded up
Ooh, love bra chat. Annoyingly those are both restricted in sizing. The Elomi only starts at a 34 band, and the Shapermint is multi sized so doesn’t really work if you have a large bust/smaller back.
Are you in the US ? The links you posted are wanting to take me to the US Amazon page . The Shapermint one looks more of a fashion item and looks designed to make the most of an impressive cleavage . After surgery having your breasts pushed up together like that is not great. The Elomi has a proper range of back and cup sizes - so a better choice after surgery I would say . It looks quite like the Safina which I wore yesterday and got online from Nicola Jane who do go up to an H cup in some styles and have a good helpline and customer service on email as well that you can use for advice. It’s worth bearing in mind that each bra regardless of size will fit differently - I have bras in 3 different cup sizes and have elected to keep wearing post- surgery bras as they are more comfortable and better made than ordinary ones. I hope you find something that works for you xx
Thank you both for your helpful suggestions and insights.
@greenqueen, that’s a great point about bra fit being very individual. I hadn’t considered the sizing limitations of these options, especially the Shapermint’s multi-size design. I’ll definitely take a closer look at Panache, Fantasie, and the Bravissimo recommendations you mentioned.
@JoanneN, thank you for sharing your experience. Your comments about post-surgery comfort and proper support are really helpful. I agree that the Elomi seems to offer a more structured fit with its wider size range. I’ll also check out Nicola Jane and the Safina style you mentioned, as comfort and support are my top priorities.
I appreciate both of you taking the time to respond. It is been very helpful to hear from people with real experience, and you’ve given me some excellent alternatives to consider.
In Spain you have to buy your bras, no subsidy. I found a wonderful online store in .Barcelona that stock mainly Amoena and Anita underwear. Both come in small to extra large sizes with, and most importantly cup sizes from AA, in most styles to DD. There are specific stores in the UK that specialize in these makes. However post surgery although a good support compression bra is normally required. I bought one but the Breast Nurses didn’t like them. They recommend a good sports bra as preference. For extra compression if necessary they would pack the cup with extra cotton padding. A front bra is much better. However in the UK you will be able to buy them minus the tax for medical purposes. 18 months later, I still use a protesis but summer the 40 deg heat this summer I used cotton padding no problem. Also I was given a prescription for a protesis worth 200€ if I wanted a more expensive one I had to pay the difference. After researching them and talking to Amoena I bought an Amoena Airlight, which has a pump so you can put in more air or let it out as your body shape changes. It’s very light and fits all the bumps and lumps!
