OK, I searched the Forums and can't find much help.

My FB feed is full of ads for bras (how do they know who needs help??)

I'm old... and saggy... used to be big! (Sorry for TMI but maybe others can point me in the right direction... get it - point - haha... )

I like comfortable bras... stretchy ones, but do any really give support? I'm so tired of just hanging around...

SO many of them are pretty expensive and i just don't know what to order. I don't go out shopping, and i live in an area where there really IS no place to shop anyway. (I order online.)

If anyone has actually purchased some good bras that lift, but are not stiff and uncomfortable could you please let me know. Thanks very much.

PS. No underwire, i'm done with underwire...

OK i found the "Bra Talk" - maybe this can be deleted! Thanks!

You know, I'm in need of something different too. I may get one of these styles soon & I know this is a good quality brand.

The Knix bras in the commercials look spongy (thick and squishy) and hot. They look padded. Being endowed with more than I need, those would not be a choice for me.

My last purchase was Cacique bras from Lane Bryant (because they have large-sized bras).

OP, did you find anything you like? You describe yourself just as my mom describes herself! And I'm trying to help her shop on-line.

The "Bra Talk" thread (at least the one I found on here) only has a few posts that aren't what I'm looking for. If someone can steer me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it!

I've had great luck with Rigby and Peller. Unfortunately, they are down to 3 stores in the US. They used to have one in Boston, but no longer. Now they are only in NYC, Chicago and Atlanta. However, I found this link from them. They can do virtual fittings:

If you don’t have access to a store with someone who can measure you accurately, then go online and do it yourself. The last time I got measured, I was shocked that I wasn’t the size I thought I was. Also, I am not able to wear any bra that doesn’t have adjustable straps, because I have a long torso.

Also, I never found underwire bras uncomfortable. I think they are the best thing ever invented for support. If they are uncomfortable, then you’re wearing the wrong size.

Try Natori. Expensive but they make a nice bra. If you wear underwire, it doesn't come through the fabric on the side. yay!
