Is there such thing as an underwireless underwire bra??

Question

I hate underwires....love the support.. lol

Answer 1

If you are having problems with your under wire – you are almost certainly wearing the wrong size bra – in your case to small in the cup. Uncomfortable, or “poking” under wires are a CLASSIC symptom of a girl wearing a bra that is too small.

The solution is not to get an under wire without an under wire, but to get the proper size bra. Go to a Leggs Hanes Bali store and get a proper fitting – or just try on a bunch of sizes until you find the one that is most comfy and looks the best on you.

Bras, in the US, have two indicators of size, a band size and a cup size, which when combined become the bra size. The band size is expressed in inches, almost exclusively in 2 inch increments, and cup size is expressed in letters, beginning with A, and continuing alphabetically. In the case of cup sizes larger than D, manufactures will often use double or triple letter designations, with each successive letter indicating a larger cup size.

With that in mind, standard bra sizes range from 30A-46DDD. Both larger and smaller sizes are available, but they are often hard to find, and frequently need to be custom made at great cost.

As if this were not confusing enough already, band size, and cup size effect one another in one half size increments, so that the volume of a 32C cup, is smaller than the cup of a 36C cup – in fact – because the 32C band size is two increments smaller than the 36C cup size, and each increment increases the volume of the cup size one half size, the volume of a 36C cup is actually identical to the volume of a 32D cup, through the band size on the 32D is two increments smaller. This knowledge become quite helpful for girls who, when trying on bras find that they are consistently between two different bra sizes. Very likely the proper size for such a girl will be a band size one size smaller, with a cup size one size larger.

With all of this complication, and with people’s general uneasiness with anything having to do with undergarments, is it any wonder that recent estimates suggest that as many as 70% of women are wearing the wrong size bra?

Answer 2

yes, that's all i use, cant stand the wires either. You just have to look in the stores really hard for them, for some reason they don't make them as much as they use to.

Answer 3

Yes...I have seen them, but don't remember where.
