Vertvie bras via Amazon tick all your requirements in my opinion. I saw them recommended by a stylist. They have a deep sides so you don’t get overhang and a really nice shape in tight tops. Cheap as chips too.

I too have been searching for the holy grail of comfy non wired bra, I’ve tried countless of brands but alas the dreaded mono boob, until I tried this one for M&S it had a side support and separates your boobs. The only downside is that it’s full lace and doesn’t give you that smoothness of a t-shirt bra, but I can get over that as it gives me perky boobs!

I’m also in search of the perfect everyday bra. Just as you describe but with underwires. Used to always wear Gossard Glossies but the fabric can be quite scratchy. Good luck with your quest

I also await a non monoboob soft bra. Those flipping “slip in triangles” are as much use as chocolate teapots!

M&S now do T-shirts with integral bras. I bought my normal size 12 but my DDs cause the neck of the T shirt to wrinkle up rather than lay flat.

I’ve even tried cupped sports bras but the struggle to get them on makes me feel like I’m wearing a boa constrictor

I’m looking for exactly the same bras as are being described- no wire, comfortable, stylish (no mono boob), as well as difficulty in finding them in the uk there’s the issue that when you do order some to try most companies are now charging for returns so it’s proving an expensive task!

I switched from over 30 years of wearing underwires to Boody bras about 3 years ago and it's a game changer. Started with their wireless full bust bra but my fave is now the racerback version. I'm 40DD and as well as the supreme comfort my bosoms don't bounce. Extraordinary!

Interesting! I have some of their very unsupportive ones from when I was pregnant and couldn’t bear proper bras but will have a look at these!

I normally wear M& S full briefs - are the Stripe and Stare originals like these or would the S&S high rise feel better?

Yes you’d probably want to the higher rise, but I prefer the cut of the original personally. The high rise seem to stop at my widest point! 🤣

I love the Escentric Molecules perfumes. The patchouli is gorgeous. My favourite was the iris but that’s been replaced by the black tea. Not as long lasting though although, like you say, that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s gone away.

and shape but so comfortable and look great also

I love the Stripe and Stare knickers so much - I just did a big restock and my knicker drawer looks like a sweetshop (though they do start to look a bit tired after a while).

I like the Uniqlo built in bra vest tops (and heatech tops for winter) and find they are not mono-booby but they are not an actual bra I agree.

I would very much like you to produce the ‘SOFT FINGERS BRA’ please and I will buy several. I am so sick of underwiring that isn’t long enough and pokes me in the side. Also I’m sad to say that despite having followed you since….ohh, sometime between child 1 and 2 I still don’t know what a serum is for!

CATHERINE! 🤣 Actually good question though. I see it as a way of getting the more potent ingredients to your skin but in a very lightweight layer. It’s watery in consistency so absorbs quickly and doesn’t add greasiness or extra gunk onto the skin. Sort of an espresso shot? I’ve never had a coffee so might be reaching with that analogy…

I know! I’m sorry! 😂. I am very on board with no extra gunk and my tired face definitely needs some whapaaaaa. Whapah? Dunno. I will give it a try, thank you
