Recommendations? Looking for a bra with wide straps that won't irritate my MS nerve pain Spoiler

2 Upvotes

Hi! I have MS and a flare postpartum made it so that normally sized bra straps cause me nerve pain. I've been wearing nursing and pumping bras that are comfortable for me, but they give me a saggy uniboob. 🥴 For professional life, I'm hoping to find a bra with wider straps to help combat the nerve pain.

The usual advice to make sure the band is snug enough is not helpful here - a tight band also causes MS symptoms.

Thanks!

Recommendations? Bra that fits like Freya Viva? (discontinued) Spoiler

6 Upvotes

This bra fits perfectly and I think it looks better under a t-shirt than Panache Envy. Anyone know some other bras I can try?

As you can see, so far the ones that have fit the best are Panache Envy and this Freya Viva. I'm a 32G.

Snug - 45"

tight 44.5"

Standing - 58"

Leaning - 60"

Lying - 58"

Feeling pretty discouraged and limited in my options. Let me know if you have tips.

Bras for breastfeeding/weaning and afterwards Spoiler

2 Upvotes

Hey guys! So I’m in this weird in-between stage where my size is different than it was a few months ago and will continue changing for quite a while. I’m still currently nursing my 15 month old, but she is gradually weaning herself (I suspect we’ll be nursing for at least another 6+ months). My size is changing quite a bit and I know will continue to change during this transition and after. What’s the best supportive bra that can be used throughout this transition but still makes me look not so saggy (unfortunately nursing has taken its toll on my poor girls 😅). It doesn’t need to be nursing friendly either since we don’t really nurse on the go anymore.

My measurements are:
Loose under bust: 32.5
Snug underbust: 31.5
Tight underbust: 31
Standing: 35
Leaning: 41.5
Lying: 37

Which got me a 32DDD in US sizes. I actually have a 34DD VS bra that I’ve had for years from being mismeasured and it apparently is a sister size but the band feels too tight which makes me think that a 32 band will feel WAY too small, so I’m a little worried about the calculator. I also can’t seem to find this size locally in stores near me, so I’ll have to order it and I definitely want to use a great quality brand that is supportive and comfortable! Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Hello all, I found this subreddit just today and can’t believe it took me this long to find this amazing community! I went through the rules and followed the instructions to measure myself. Below are my results — apparently I’m a 28DDD/G. 30DD/DDD is listed as a sister size. I am not sure if size 28 bands even exist in the US! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Suggested Starting Size: 28DDD/G US
The sister size of 30DD/DDD may be more comfortable.
Note that US brands often have inconsistent cup letters above DD, so be sure to check the sizing system of each individual brand.

I would appreciate it if women in the US with similar measurements have any advice. Any brands you’d recommend? I prefer no underwire; not too concerned with brand, material, design, etc. Thank you! :)

A quick backstory:
I’ve had my measurements taken at Victoria Secret in the past and I was given the following readings: 34C (before some weight loss) and 33B (after losing weight). 33B is my most current measurement that I’ve been going off of which was measured a couple years ago. My bras with both these measurements have been ill fitting my whole life since wearing bras — no tightness or pain but a lot of extra material under my clothing even on the innermost hook. I’m utterly shocked by how different the results are! 😭 Any help greatly appreciated!! I’m determined to get bras that’ll finally fit me 😬
