    oh i hate being measured, theyre always wrong! i just take a few sizes in and pick the most comfortable. i'm only 19 though and there really aren't very many pretty bigger ones out - not that i've found any way. i have the nip-nip issue (could cut glass lol) and a piercing so have to have those really lightly padded ones rather than the lacey ones. it's a bleedin nightmare!

  • I've always liked Triumph bras so was very pleased when a Triumph shop opened up near me. They gave 20% off if they fitted you and the assistant was brilliant, very helpful. It was worth paying the higher prices for their bras. You could spend much longer in M&S and still not come out with anything that fits. Don't know if the 20% off is a permanent promotion though.

    oh, m&s are rubbish. their bigger bras are just the smaller ones but with more material, they don't think about support or anything. spotted myself in a club once in the mirror in my m&s bra and was shocked at the amount of movement, it was horrendous. i spent the rest of the night trying to hold them still with my arms in as subtle a way as possible, and looked like a penguin. never again!

    (edit to say, i did have a top on over my m&s bra - i don't go out in just my underwear)

    She does look a tad plastic. Bet a man decided on the images to use!
    I am tired of trying to find a bra that fits , I bought 5 last month and only 1 fit even though they were all the same size and from the same shop. One of the bras made me look like I was smuggling mountains. A lot of bras for women with bigguns look very unsexy. Amplebusom looks ok but my search continues. Triumth are a good brand but their bras aren't exactly sexy (not that I want to look like a stripper!)


    i know what you mean. i feel like everybody can tell if i'm not in pretty underwear - silly i know but i feel so much more confident in nice stuff!

    Check out the Shock Absorber Sports bra's on Ebay. Bigger sizes a plenty and generally £10.50" buy it now price "and £1.50 postage - far less than the shops at £26.00 and they never have stock.

    I am very happy with Chantelle bra's very supportive unlike M&S.
