Those of you who have had these for a while, how the hell do you cope? Is there such a thing as a capable strapless bra? Or any fucking bra that doesn't dig in somewhere. Are you ever unaware of your boobs and your bra and able to just live your lives?
I spent all my sodding life wishing I had big boobs and now I am a D I want to cut the damned things off. And I know that's not that big, but this is new to me. I miss my nice little well behaved Bs.

Merkzy, they are 34D and annoying. I have spent all day with my bra digging in. I had to change my whole outfit this morning because I got stuck in a "multiway" bra which you need a fucking degree in engineering to get the straps on, the designer clearly isn't so qualified. I had to take the damned thing off over my arse in the end. I got so stressed and cross I put a normal outfit on and spent the day fidgeting because of the boobs and the "normal" bra dug in all day.
ANNOYING

Strapless/multiway bras are the work of the devil, they are never comfortable
i am an F cup and the bras tend to be hideous with thick straps and the wires fall out constantly
this being RoF someone will come along and tell you the only solution is to spend £90 on a bra at Rigby & Peller

No, the solution to a dress that won't accommodate a proper bra is a roll of £3 athlete tape and ten minutes on YouTube

The answer to questions two and three is no.

multi way just wont work, too much weight to haul round your neck or whatever.
you’ll have to wear different clothes
non underwired bras are v comfortable but ime only wireless sportsbras provide sufficient support for bigger boobs, you dont want to be wearing sportsbras all the time.
most comfortable wired bras are full cup not halter or push up etc
this is the downside to big knockers.
get used to v necks

Stix! 🙋🏼♀️ Welcome to the boob club. First thing is that bras are like clothes so a 34D in one brand isn’t necessarily that in another. Also depending on where you were measured, it may well be wrong (M&S is notoriously poor) which is another possible reason why it’s uncomfy. I’d hazard a guess that your back size is smaller than a 34 and that’s why it’s riding up/digging in. Also if you have big boobs, do not wear a multi-way or halterneck as your neck will be so sore and the consequent headache isn’t worth it. There are loads of pretty brands for bigger boobs But sizing is trial and error as some run big/small.

Go to Bravissimo. They have bralettes which shouldn’t dig in. I’m saving up to cut mine down(!)

Some sensible advice from the ladies, thank you all. I shall check out Bravissimo and youtube, and sadly stay away from strapless and halterneck from now on.
BingoPingu, I don't topple over because I have got generally bigger all over and I am, as always, in perfect proportion.

Back when I was a FF (before babies and feeding played havoc with my body generally), without a doubt the best strapless bra I found was the wonderbra ultimate. Kept everything in and up and the cleavage it created was amazing.

I am an expert on this. Trust me get Fantasie or Freya. They do pretty ones. Unless you want saggy boobs later you have to get proper support even if that does mean you have to get functional rather than sexy. Sad but true.

Are those Wonderbra things comfortable? They look torturous. And don’t they wobble at the top?

Queenie as strapless bras go they’re definitely more comfortable than most and stay up. I didn’t forget I was wearing it but they give good cleavage rather than the standard strapless indent across the top of the chest.

I found the Wonderbra unbearable, felt really restrictive - the Freya one is totally secure, worn all day long, and there was much unnecessary dancing going on, and I hardly noticed it (and it doesn't leave huge suction marks either).

Erm, Abbs - you know I loves ya, but I'm going to hazard a guess that if there is one thing you know nothing about, it is the female struggle with bra fitting?

I think we need to think about sustainability, child labour laws and rewilding here, can you not just count up your annual bra budget and see if you can just pay someone to hold them up for you?
this plan comes with the added bonus of pockets and extra bag carrying capacity

My experience (and I am somewhat more "stacked" than Stix):-
Curvy Kate - lots of pretty designs, but not nearly as good as they used to be, their quality control has come right down, their bras are probably best for "bedroom" purposes only
Freya - good quality, some nice designs, and good, functional basics (T-shirt, strapless bras) and they do a very good sports bra
Prima Donna - very well made, expensive, true to size, will last you a long time, but not especially exciting designs, in fact, boring as hell
Panache - also some decent designs, but I've stopped buying them because they come up small (I generally have to go up at least a cup size, sometimes even two, but the back sizes are reasonably standard). The only exception is their sports bra, they are very good (so long as you don't mind the uniboob look, but when it comes to exercise, I don't actually care what they look like, so long as they hold me in place)
M&S - actually, quite disappointing for bigger cups, their range is limited, and I find that they are not all that comfortable
In terms of retailers:
Bravissimo is brilliant, as it has its own brand bras (pretty good), and also stocks all of the major big boob manufacturers
Figleaves - really good selection, excellent search filter, and blooming brilliant returns policy, so you have nothing at all to lose by getting a bunch of bras and trying your luck.

I am fortunate to have considerable experience in this area. You need to get properly fitted - by eye, not with a tape. Rigby and Peller is the obvious place to go although I've fallen out of love with them a bit in recent years. I found a fantastic place in Elland just outside Huddersfield - called Anon - anonlingerie.co.uk. A bit of a trek if you're not in that area, but in my view worth making a special trip and it's half the price of R&P - I discovered the shop last year and plan to go there once a year or so from London just for new bras. Also do fantastic swimwear. If you give them a call they might be able to advise and send you something by post to try. In terms of brands - from R&P I tend to go for prima donna and from Anon I love Elomi - sooo comfortable and wacky colours. I have a pretty good strapless one from panache. Getting fitted is the key though and having a D cup will give you a lot more choice than I have. Definitely there should be no digging in if the fit is right.

Go to Elland to buy a bra?!!! You are insane, but welcome to RoF, you will fit right in.

Had no idea wonderbra were still going!
My experience when I dropped a bunch of weight and was re-fitted was I tried about 20 different bras and they were all the same size but fitted differently, some were big, some tiny, some perfect. Bra shopping and Bras are infuriating!

Haha, thanks Stixta, I can see why you might think I'm insane! Agree with Bonbon though, it is infuriating. After years of wearing badly fitting bras and finding it impossible to be comfortable, a few hours drive to Elland every year or two knowing I'll come out looking wonderful and completely comfortable feels like a joy, not an inconvenience.

Fucking hell there’s some terrible advice on this thread.
Hey Stix, FF here (although more like a G at the moment), welcome to the club!
Firstly, it’s a pain in the arse but you’ve sussed that but already, really limits your clothing options and most things just don’t fit right. But hey ho, gotta take the cards you are dealt.
What you need to do ASAP is go on boob or bust and measure yourself properly (https://booborbust.com). Please share results! Do not go to buttfuck Huddersfield or wherever was mentioned above.
Next, order yourself a load of bras from figleaves in that size and have a trying on session to see what styles/shapes work for you. Back when I was a D I loved a balconette style (ALWAYS WIRED).
As for strapless, I third the wonderbra suggestion (purchased mine following Meh’s recommendation and it is good, not especially comfortable in my size but the best I’ve found). I have never found a good multi-way and have just accepted there are dresses which I cannot buy and enjoy. *sigh*
Hope that helps and your new bangerzzz!
