NWR: Bra help!

Hey ladies, I am in desperate need of some bra recommendations. I'm a 36DD and I love the plain old full coverage cotton bras from Victoria's Secret but the underwires are constantly popping out after on a few month's wear and stabbing me in the boob. I feel like I'm flushing money down the toilet. I'm not sure what the problem is...I wash them by hand and rotate them so one isn't getting worn more than the rest but I feel like this happens wayyy to often.

I've tried other brands like Bali and Olga but they don't fit as well and are sort of old lady-ish when you get into the larger cup sizes.

Any recommendations for a good quality, long lasting bra for larger cup sizes? Thanks!!

This. I also like Vanity Fair, you can get both at Kohls.

Totally maidenform. I'm a D cup but can use a bit of a lift and most bras have either too much lift or nothing. The maidenform bras I get at kohls have push up padding that vary with cup size. I wear and wash them to death and they never fall apart. I never go to VS anymore bc they ALWAYS fell apart.

Try lane Bryant. I am a DDD and I usually buy my bras from them. They have quite a few options and aren't old lady looking. They have a lot of fun, colorful bras as well. Plus, they are always having sales so if you do buy make to do so with a coupon. I never pay full price for anything there lol

Thanks for the suggestions! I would pay almost anything for a comfortable bra that fits well and lasts more than a couple of months!

VS bras are crap! The wires break out on every bra I've ever owned from them after a couple months. Started wearing Cacique from Lane Bryant and have had some for over a year with no problems.

Im 34DDD and I wear Wacoal and they are comfy. I bought one at Georgettes in Hicksville and another out here in NJ (where I live). The only difference is I paid more at Georgettes.

Am I the only one that loves VS?! Lol, I'm a 32DDD and have really only had luck in VS or Intimacy (in Roosevelt Field Mall). If I were you, I'd make an appointment at Intimacy; they meet with you and get you into comfortable bras! But they are definitely pricey.

Ok girls, don't laugh at me, but Frederick's of Hollywood has the best bras ever. I recently ordered a bunch cause they had a sale ($10!) and I don't know if I'll ever get them anywhere else now, even at regular price they're not a lot. I'm a 34D and HATE not having tons of support. These fit the bill and they're pretty, too!

38DDD here. I loved my VS bras when I could get the cute ones. But now the only ones at VS in my size are plain and boring. Lane Bryant also has a bra specialist.. I found the tend to run a little smaller than VS but they have a great assortment. Also if you can't find something in the store, I found a good size in the store and then ordered online. Buy 2, get 2 free and 20% off. They always have sales and promo codes. HTH!!

I wear a 32 G.....100% i can recommend Panache, Chantelle, and Walcol (they all run $90+) I have not been able to find a bra in my size for under $90. but i definitely recommend going to Blums in patchogue. they are amazing and you can find so much. Also Helen of Troy in Massapequa is excellent!!!! :) good luck!
