As a 34G I'm with you girl! I treat my bras with utmost care to make them last (when they are comfortable). I do have a Simone Perele that is fab (but the sizing is not comparable to Wacoal.  so you might have to do some experimenting).  I mostly stick with Wacoal because the sizing is pretty consistent and the quality is there. I tried the third love brand, but it's a cheap knockoff of Wacoal for folks who have never purchased a high end bra (IMO).  I've been trying to find a comfortable minimizer with no luck. I don't like to advertise my headlights so I had been wearing tshirt bras but they are usually padded.  Find one you love and duplicate like mad! cindysmith on "#$%&" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/0-28/page/2#post-2051872 Fri, 09 Aug 2019 20:38:11 +0000 cindysmith 2051872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I can't help, but I can commiserate.

I appreciate your chiming in, and that you didn’t take offense to my thread title, LOL. Perhaps in September I will do a little bra reconnaissance. I also need to start looking at new eyeglass frames, another task I find daunting (but not as traumatic as bra shopping, thankfully!). Perhaps a post-birthday present...

Try in the Fall, and maybe try Soma too. Online bra shopping can be GREAT, if you know your size and can accurately assess fit - which I know you can do.

Not sure now is the time. Maybe in fall? My sports bras are Panache. I have a Freya bra that is nice but not everyday comfort. I am really looking for non-seamed stretch lace. I sacrifice a little bit of support for comfort with the style I have been wearing, but I seem to be getting less and less tolerant of any discomfort in band and cups. Maybe because the darn boobs are just so heavy. I love my boobs, but good lord, my body has been carrying them around for well over three decades now, and it’s not easy. I don’t think smaller breasted women have any idea how hard this can be.

Their padding is SUBTLE, and the comfort sublime.  Try Freya and Panache too.

From looking online, their selection in my size seems limited to either t-shirt bras with padding or seamed cups. I have a couple of bras with seamed cups, and I end up not wearing them very often because I don’t like how the seam ridges look under clothes. I’m also tired of the stiff feeling of padded t-shirt bras. I’d be willing to try them on, but I don’t see any retailers in my area that carry them.

I have had good luck with Chantelle bras. Nordies has a good tee shirt bra from this brand on NAS. Size 30 and 32 inch bands go up to G cup (US sizing of course) if that helps. It also has a racer “J” hook that is nice for tanks. Hooking the J hook is challenging- I can only do it by putting my arms through the straps, then hooking the racer hook, then hooking the bra strap. Sounds more complicated than it is. Available in deep Rose Pink, Nude and Black.

I’m also very difficult to fit, it’s rare I find a bra that works well for me. I get stressed just by the thought of looking for a new one...

I've been trying to find one I like for about 4 years. I just keep wearing the same sad, worn out ones. What is it with that wire sitting too low?? I need more room side to side, not top to bottom. I don't want that wire sitting on my stomach! We need to remember to share any successes...looks like we are the same size. However, my 4 year search doesn't actually inspire hope, does it? Well, it is an occasional and half hearted search, not a dedicated one. Bra shopping is the worst.

They are such nice bras and comfortable, but with a period of wear I find they somehow lack adequate coverage and I get a bit of that quadboob effect. And IIRC I’m sized out of Natori if I try to go up a cup size. As far as contacting the company, I could simply lodge a complaint, but I doubt that would have any effect. It sounds like Wacoal discontinues a lot of their styles at some point or another, and clearly this was done long enough ago that back stock is already selling out. Bras are so hard — I often cannot truly tell whether they are going to work for me until I wear them for a full day.

It gives me overspill in one side .  So annoying I had luck finding a couple on ebay that were new with tags, they were weird colors but I was ok with that for the winter.

They discontinued my favorite style too, and I only found out when all that was left in my size was white, which I don’t wear. I hemmed and hawed for a bit, then ordered five white ones directly from Wacoal. I have some Rit dye on hand to turn them a nice nude pink. I hope you find some forgotten stock of them in your size and favorite color soon. crst on "#$%&" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/0-28#post-2048530 Sun, 28 Jul 2019 23:56:09 +0000 crst 2048530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Did you check the direct Wacoal website? It looks like there might be some still with that name on there. Of course I may have the wrong one as I don’t have a visual.
