Sadly, I am pretty sure you are wearing the wrong bra size so you are not going to find any of them comfortable and flattering.
I highly recommend going to a boutique for a bra fitting. After watching Sierra go with the ladies that work with her, I found a boutique near me and was shocked!!!! had been fitted at chain stores multiple times and fitted incorrectly. It made a huge difference!!
Also, not gonna lie, I was hoping to see the misskisses (somethung like that) strapless bra I'm here!!! I know it's crazy expensive, but it's calling my name with every ad lol😂
I would love to see you go for a real bra fitting. It helped me sooooo much!!! I get fittet once a year, because our bodies change.
That is a great idea!
Thank you 😁
Please get a fitting! I think you will be surprised and I'm not saying so to be unkind but the reason this look a little off and feel uncomfortable is that you are likely in too big a band and too small a cup - I made the same mistake for years too! You'll feel so much more comfortable in a well fitted bra.
I think going to get measured for your right size and style bra would really change things for you.
i really would recommend getting fitted for a bra! even when you measure yourself, the math is sometimes not exact. plus, when you're at a store, they are able to suggest bras based on your breast shape and comfort preferences. it can feel really intimidating and uncomfortable to go through the fitting process, but in the end it is really worth it!!
Yes saw the bra video and was hoping she'd do a proper fitting first. Sierra did one with her friends and it was such a good video and I think all of them were in the wrong size or fit/style for them.
Yes! Huge difference! Adding: you'll get the best fit at a bra specialty shop. (Found this out the hard way after being fitted improperly at 2 different dept. stores as well as Victoria's Secret.)
The shape and position of as well as the distance between, should all be taken into consideration.
Yes!!! There are so many subtleties, including how far the side wire sits (forget what this is called, but I got tired of being stabbed in the side until I got a proper fitting and was like OMG)
Agree, but with the caveat of getting fitted by a professional fitter from a reputable bra store. There's a huge difference between those that know what they're doing vs those that stock a limited size range, work off commission, and gaslight you into the wrong sized bra so they can make a sale. Please do your research, then go to a good bra store for a fitting with a professional.
@KG-ul7nx 1000% THIS. I've been fitted several times since I was 14 (different stores), and they ALL have told me I'm a B cup. But then when I put on a B cup bra (after I laugh at them and they say "just humor me", so I do it), my nips *don't even fit into the cup*- I have too much boob to fit. They are just saggy 🙃😅 So I personally don't trust bra fittings. At 34, I know what is and isn't a correct fit anymore; and even that (as Carrie mentioned) COMPLETELY depends on the brand/cup shape.
If your underwire bra is hurting you then you are picking the wrong size. The perfect size bra will be effortlessly comfortable even with an umderwire. It is not normal to be in pain while wearing a bra even if it's normal to hear women sat that. Statistics show 80 percent of women wear the wrong bra size
I think I realized this recently. For a second I thought I would stop wearing underwire altogether, until I found some underwire bras that were the most comfortable bras I'd worn in a while😳so comfortable I'd prefer them OVER my wire free bras
I have discovered this isn’t always true. If you are in pain with any and every underwire, see a doctor. Costochondritis is a thing.
@LauraBeutler well yes there are medical conditions that could cause this to happen but with the current statistics that is still far less likely than one simply not wearing the right size. I would say if getting a fitting done and wearing the right size from a good brand doesn't help, then yes see a doctor.
@@LauraBeutlerjust had costochondritis-trust me, you would feel it without any bra on! It felt like someone was scraping my chest with a knife. I think bra pain is definitely related to poor sizing most of the time.
It's probably true as a general rule, but there are certainly exceptions like sensory issues like for Carrie, or for me having fibromyalgia it became more and more uncomfortable to downright painful to wear underwire bras.
i feel like this video is informative, but it could have been even more interesting had you gotten a bra fitting so you knew your actual size and then wore each bra for a day! i know that is a lot more work, but i think it would make for a better video in the end!
Agreed!!! Knowing your true size in a bra could’ve been so helpful especially when looking for tricky bras like strapless ones
I second this comment! Wearing a strapless bra for 5 minutes isn’t really a good test of how it would perform day to day. Especially if it isn’t your size.
100% agree. Felt this way for a while since try on videos don't give a full picture
@@aly5321 This is so true! I love Carrie’s videos, but even her jean shorts and swimsuit videos weren’t very helpful (in my opinion) without a try on. I’d rather watch a short-form video in less time in get the same information, or watch a longer video with a try-on section.
Hi Carrie! In the future, I think these types of videos would be even more helpful if you tried on your top 2-3 favorite items for a wear test. I think this would help us know which items work the best before we buy ☺️✨
Yes this! 100%!
Hey Carrie! I had a bra fitting done at a boutique recently and the advice they gave me was that when you buy a bra you want it to fit on the loosest hook. Over time the bra will stretch out and you will be able to move it to tighter hooks. I am also an adult who never transitioned into real bras until recently so glad to know there’s more of us 😭
ETA: Getting a bra fitting done by a professional was the best thing I ever did. Now I can buy bras that fit me how they’re supposed to. They are usually free so maybe that would be a good come to the dressing room with me video?
Totally agree. I was humbled after my fitting realizing how wrong my bra was. Got a bra that fits and it’s like oh this is how this is supposed to feel! Now I’m kind of hooked on buying pretty bras. This is after years of wearing pandemic comfy bralettes.
2nd this! A professional bra fitting can be game changing. My underwire bras are so comfortable once I got into the correct size. Just FYI for all those looking for where to get one done, look for a boutique, don't go to a dept store or victoria's secret. If you don't feel comfortable with a bra fitting, use "a bra that fits calculator". They use 6 different measurements to find your correct size. That will get you started, but try lots of things! breast shape varies and different cups work for different people.
Where did you go for the fitting?
I agree with the need for a bra fitting, however, I was told to use the middle hook.
Former Nordstrom Lingerie manager here and be careful where you get fitted. Victoria’s Secret is the worst at fitting! If you have a Nordstrom near you that’s where you should go. And yes it should fit to start on the loosest hook so you can tighten it as it stretches with wear.
Please consider doing a bra fitting! A good fitting bra should not hurt anywhere or give you side boob or back rolls or anything like that. These are not unavoidable things at all! To me, but I'm no expert either, it sounds like you're wearing cups that are too big (which explains the wires digging into your ribs and why the Skims one felt the most comfortable as it ran the smallest) and bands that are too loose (because a new bra should be worn on the loosest hook). Trust me, you will not believe the power that your boobs hold once you've got the right size on! You will look soooooo good (no pancake!) and be soooo comfortable. I know it's daunting and I can imagine a million reasons why you and others might feel uncomfortable getting your bra fitted, but if you go to a salon that you trust it'll be 100% worth it.
If the underwire is really uncomfortable, you’re not in the correct size. My hunch is that you’re a larger cup size - society has us conditioned to think D/DD is like the BIGGEST boobs which makes us think B/C are “average”. In reality, D is a pretty small cup size. I wore a DD for years…turns out I’m an H.
Also, I always find Torrid bras very pointy.
Haha I had the same. I'm an E but I always wore dd or ddd and nothing fit. After breastfeeding and hitting my 40's. I've lost volume for sure ....maybe need to go back to the dd. Haha
I also thought I was a DD or DDD for my entire adulthood and recently discovered I'm an H and bras are actually comfortable now!!
Hahah I hear this- I’m a G or probably even an H and I simply refuse to accept it because the bras that I can afford usually go up to DDD at best. The feeling is so real.
People also don’t understand that no 2 cup sizes are the same. a 30D and a 40D are completely different size cups, the cup is just measuring the difference between your underbust and the fullest part of your bust. I’m a 30D and the “volume” of the cup is the same as a 34B.
Probably too big a band and too small a cup
Carrie have you ever went to a lingerie boutique and gotten professionally measured? And I don't mean Victoria Secret.
Don't get measured at Aerie either. I used to work at a combined American Eagle/Aerie store, and they gave us ZERO training on how to measure for bra sizes and look for the correct fit. Hopefully they've improved things since then, but it was definitely not encouraging.
I wonder if part of the fit issue is getting a band size that’s too big for you? Most of the support from a bra comes from the band, not the cups. I learned from getting a professional bra fitting that the right band size will feel snug but not tight when you fasten on the loosest hooks when the bra is brand new. As you use the bra over time, you’ll use the middle and then inner most hooks to maintain that snug but not tight fit. When you’re using the inner most hooks, that means you’ll likely want to replace it since the band might not be giving you adequate support anymore.
I highlyyyyy recommend getting fitted for a bra. You definitely aren’t a 40 band and if anyone slightly bigger than you sees this video, they would second guess if they need a bigger band size too, and that could be a little damaging. Especially since a lot of brands don’t go higher than a 40/42 band. I’m bigger than you and I wear a 36/38. Same with your jean videos. I understand you want something comfortable, but 80% of the support of a bra comes from the band. So if you’re looking for a supportive bra, that does its job, you need to have the right band size. Also when you first buy a bra you’re supposed to wear it on the loosest or 2nd to loosest hook, because it will stretch out overtime and it will last longer that way.
Carrie you are in desperate need of a proper bra fitting! Go to a lingerie store/bra store. Your back will thank you and your mind will be blown. Do a video on it!
Please go get professionally fitted by a proper boutique! I used to think underwires would always hurt but I was wearing the wrong size.
This comment is just agreeing with all the other comments that youre not getting the right size!
Im about 90% sure you're not a 40 band, which is why the Skims one fits better, cause it runs small.
The bras would probably look and feel better if you looked into getting a proper size and shape bra.
I’d love to see you visit the bra store sierra did on her channel for a bra fitting!
Please do an update after you wear the bras for at least a full day. I often buy bras and they feel ok for the first three hours and then immediately become a nightmare. I also have sensory issues and big boobs and all the things. Thanks for doing this. Bra shopping sucks! Ps. I tried the yitty strapless headliner bandeau for a wire free option and it basically just folded in half immediately.
Yeah I’m sure we’ll get that about the same time we get that video where she wears the anti-chafe shorts for a full day
Just a bra fitting tip, I think you should size down as when you have a new bra you should be wearing on the loosest hook and then as the bra loses elasticity you put on the tighter hooks.
Y'ALL. PSA! Sister sizes are a MYTH! People are just trying to have you still buy a bra when your real size is sold out or they don't carry your size! Think about it, band size is in inches, your ribcage just IS the size that it IS. sure there are multiple hooks so if 36 and 38 both fit around your ribs then maybe it would be ok, but your CORRECT size is the band size that fits on you at its LOOSEST hook! All that sister sizing tells you is how to find the same volume of cup, but as you change band sizes, the distance between cups change, the length from top to bottom of the breast will change, it's NOT your size! Only ever get a bra based on your band size first! Then if the cup is too small or too big, change that. Not the band!
So Carrie when you said that it's strange that you've bought the same size in multiple brands and they all fit different, you HAVE NOT bought the same size! You bought a sister size!
I recommend getting fitted. If the right size bra still hurts, see your doctor. I had costochondritis, which made every bra with am underwire or tight elastic around my ribs incredibly painful.
If you can wear the bra on the tightest hook you should go down a band size, bras stretch out with wear.
Yes, you should always wear them on the loosest
You should go where sierra went to get fitted for a bra.
A new bra should fit snug on the first hook and then over time you move it in. I think you are wearing the wrong size band!
carrie, i echo everyone else saying to get a fitting done. i didn’t realize how major of a difference it makes until i got one done myself-i went from wearing bras way too small and tight to not really noticing my bra when i wear it. i work 12 hour shifts and barely notice that i have mine on (and that’s a bra with underwire at that!)
Hey! What's your favorite bra?? I also work 12hr shifts and find straps dig into my shoulders often
I dunno if this is truth or not. But a lot of things I e seen in videos and online, when you buy a bra you should be on the biggest, last hooks to do it up because over time your bra loosens up. So as time goes on you can use the middle and tightest hooks . Maybe sense haha
You NEEDDDD to try Wacoal’s strapless bra. It’s so comfortable and offers amazing support
The problem you're describing sounds like too loose of a band and wrong cup size or shape. Strapless bras are notorious for having shallow cups so your boobs are probably trying to find space and the underwire is getting pushed down and your boobs are trying to come out the top. I had a similar issue before I started researching bras and found Reiddit's A Bra That Fits and measured myself with their calculator and did a lot of research on breast shape and cup styles.
Yes I'd love to see a video using the A Bra That Fits calculator! I used it years ago and it measured exactly the same size as the professional fit expert at my local specialty bra store.
I think you're going with the wrong size girl, that's why the don't fit well and hurt you 🥲
Carrie, this video was extremely helpful as I'm currently in the market for a strapless bra. If you do a part two, can you please check out the Red Carpet Strapless Bra by Wacoal, the Aerie Sunnie Strapless Lightly Lined bra, and the Spanx Up For Anything Strapless bra. Also, where are your shorts from please? 🙂
Love my Aerie Sunnie!!!! 🩷
I agree with others go to a professional bra fitting at a lingerie boutique. I did that and it was the best thing ever. They give you a lot of information about how a bra should fit. Also, when wearing a bra you hook it on the first hook as time stretches out the band you keep hooking it further inward.
My friends mom works at Soma and raves about their bras! She got me fitted and now my fave bra is from there 😊 it’s the Bodify! I’d love to try the strapless now after watching this!
Definitely want to see a bra fitting! I recently tried the skims strapless bra and it is by far my favorite strapless one I've tried so far. Thank you for always doing the best try-ones! ❤
Wow, I was just spending all of yesterday looking up strapless bras, and here is your video! Great timing!
I appreciate you discussing the pros/cons of each bra and why something would work for you or someone else. Maybe you could do an update video in the future to discuss how the two you kept held up or felt following a days wear?
When you buy a bra it’s best for it to be on the loosest hook at first bc as it stretches you can tighten it and get more wear out of it
Have you ever gotten professionally fitted at an actual bra boutique? If not, you might be a completely different size than you think. Most women are wearing the wrong size, and that might be part of the issue for you
If someone's not mentioned it yet, you want your bra strap hook to be on the loosest hook vs. the tightest. As you wear your bra overtime the stretchiness does not come back and you bring in the hook.
I support this video, but I highly recommend going to a specialty bra store if you’re trying to find a well fitted bra; particularly for something like a strapless bra where the fit is very important. A specialty bra store will be able to size you correctly, and direct you to high quality options that don’t get a lot of advertising online.
The search for a strapless bra has me just not wearing clothing where one is required n that’s sad.
First, I'd highly recommend getting a fitting. Not VS, mind you... I'm sure Sierra would be more than happy to hook you up with where she went. Second, if underwire hurts, it's likely not the right size. I used to wear 36/38 DD. Turns out i'm actually 32GG/H in UK sizing. Strapless is still a massive issue for me. What I think a lot of people don't understand is that some bra styles just wont work for you because of your shape. I can't do molded unseamed cups. Or plunging, wireless. I've only found one strapless that kind of works, but I hate how it looks under most things because it has vertical seams that you can't really hide. I'd rather just let the stupid straps show or pick clothes with wider straps.
I had a great experience in a bra shop a few months ago. It was overdue and much needed. The best piece of advice I got from the woman in the bra shop is to lift your boobs to get a perfect. Literally she told me to reach in the bra and pull the girls up on an angle bc my boobs are wide set. It seemed so simple but my mind was blown because it completely changed the look and the fit of the bras.
You are not getting the right size if it’s pushing into you
Bra fitting video seems to be the next move! I would love to watch you do that type of video 🥰🥰🥰
Yea in the description of the torrid bra says push up
Soma bras are amazing. You should go into a soma store to get properly fitted and I bet that would make a HUGE difference!
finding a good strapless bra is not for the faint of heart. I’m still looking for one myself lol. super glad you made this video.
Would you ever do a bra fitting video? Not like copy cat but like how Sierra did???
If something lets you down - its a strapless bra 😂
comparing disappointments to strapless bras will be my new favorite insult
The wacoal red carpet strapless is the only bra that exists to me!! I have big boobs and have tried them all and that is the only one that has ever worked!!
I have almost 11 more months after breast reduction surgery before I can try different bras. I'm so looking forward to wearing a strapless bra. I never did have any that worked when I was a 44G. The cups would get dragged down more and more or the underwire strapless folded on me. Hopefully there will be more varieties available in the next couple years.
Wow the skims one looks so comfortable, but here in canada the price is like 86$ 😩 and i want to cry.
I also recommend a professional bra fitting. I had one my freshman year of college ... but, I was very swollen that day (and didn't realize it). They found the PERFECT bra for me. Once the swelling went down, I went down 3 cups from a D to an A!!! I returned the bra and got my money back because they had NOTHING in my size.
Sierra Schultzzie had bra fittings with her team and they all found the type of bra that was best for each of them too.
you should go to the place Sierra went to and get a fitting like she did
HIGHLY recommend the La Vie En Rose Lightly Lined Memory Foam Strapless bra!! suuuuper soft and comfy (from a girl who also hates underwire) and also budget friendly and accessible
"If there's anything that's going to let you down in life, it's a strapless bra." 😂 PREACH, GIRL
Please get fitted hun. It'll change your life.
I think it would be awesome if you went to Rumeur and did a fitting with them! I know its a pretty long drive from LA though 😬
Hi there! I almost never comment on UA-cam videos but I just wanted to share that the “Wacoal Red Carpet Convertible Strapless Bra” is my favorite! I have a larger chest so I have never found a strapless bra that works for me until this one! It never let’s me down! It’s on sale at Nordstrom right now for the Anniversary sale (so you can easily get a bra fitting there) but it’s worth it even at full price. I have it in multiple colors and sizes for when my weight fluctuates and it’s amazing! Highly recommend if anyone is looking!
I may be repeating some of the comments already posted, but I recently got fitted by some pros at a few boutiques and there are a few things you should know about choosing the best bra for you:
1. Bra sizes are not universal, just like most other pieces of clothing unfortunately. Granted, when ordering bras and trying at home, it makes sense that you ordered the same size/sister size as a starting point.. but I recommend getting fitted at a couple different stores/boutiques and trying on different sizes in person if you can. It will help you with sizing in rhe future if you try on bras that fit too big or too small, you'll know what sizes to try.
2. You don't want to be on the tightest hook when buying a new bra. Bra bands stretch as you wear them and you won't be able to adjust the band accordingly if you're already on the tightest hooks brand new. Likely you need to try a band size down in those bands that are similarly sized.
3. When trying on a new bra, I was taught that when you are putting the girls in the cups you should lean forward a bit to make sure all of the breast tissue gets in the cup and scoop whatever spilled side boob back into the cups if necessary. It helps make you feel held in and helps with shape if you have that spillage issue!
4. Personally, I went with the Torrid push up, and I do wear it a little lower on my ribcage. I don't think it gave you cone boobs, but I def know what you mean about feeling that way, I think I'm just not used to seeing myself like that and felt self conscious when I experienced this, which is totally a fair reason to pass on it. But it might be worth trying a band size up to see how that fits around the band. 😊 I did want to say though, Torrid also has some strapless bras that don't have the push up, I'd say those might be worth a try for you. I didn't choose them ultimately, but they do feel a bit different to the push up and you might feel better in those.
4. When you compared the Skims and the Torrid bras, I think the fact that the Torrid one has the push up which takes up space in the cup and looks more structured compared to the other, makes sense that it might be a bit bigger. But again, they don't all fit the same. Why can't finding your size be more simple? 😂😭
5. I don't think I have ever tried any strapless bras without underwire that actually held up the girls (my size is very similar to yours). This is totally based on my experience, but I think once you get to a certain size, strapless bras that don't have the additional structure that underwire provides don't work very well. But if it's out there, I hope you find it and tell us about it!!❤
6. Alternatively to strapless bras, there is boob tape that you can use when you wear strapless tops. It is a bit of work to get used to putting it on in my experience, and if you don't like the sensation of sticky tape on your skin, that's prob a no go. 😅
Good luck on your bra search, Carrie! I hope you find something that ticks all your boxes! 🤞♥️ It would be interesting to see if you try out other sizes in these brands and/or what you decide to keep! Thanks for sharing with us!
I hope Carrie reads this! This is very detailed and informative feedback 😊
Just a fun fact on bras. You want the bra to fit on the furthest to the end hooks then as the bra band stretches over time from wear and age you move up to retighten band. (or of course as bodies fluctuate cause thats also normal) but thats the "science" of why multiple hooks for the band. Love your videos. helps this mid/plus size girlie with more clothing ideas and opinions
Hey Carrie! I love Soma bras but wanted to tell you-they stretch out quite a bit! I would size down the band size especially if you’re starting out on the tightest hook. XO! Thanks for the great content-love you!
I hate lively so much, I wore it once and took it off in the middle of the day and threw it in the garbage
I would love to see you get a proper bra fitting just to see if it makes any difference 😊❤
It's always recommended to buy a bra that fits on the widest hooks as in time they stretch 💡
please get a professional fitting!
I would love it if you tried knix and shapermint, they both have strapless bras and have always been interested in their period underware and period swimsuits
I LOVE Knix’s period underwear. Their bras are a nice in between of a comfy bralette and real bra.
I've been slowly replacing all my underwear with Knix, I really like them😅but their bras have been hit or miss for me, maybe because they use their own sizing system. I do like their Revolution bra, though
I’m not from USA, so we have completely different brands, but for me the most well-knows is Wonderbra. Is it not that popular in the US?
I have and love the first Torrid bra you tried on in that exact size actually too. But the pushing into your ribs definitely hurts and the silicone grippy bits give me kind of a rug burn type of thing if I sweat at all. Even so, the best strapless I've ever had. Haha. I just wear it sparingly because she NOT comfy.
I love your shorts 🩳
Short corsets ppl. They stay up & are comfy & suit big breasts.
Edit : I recommend Bare necessities "Parfait"
I tired so many strapless bras. The best i’ve found is the Wacoal red carpet strapless it’s awesome.
Im a very small girlie with a big chest for my size. YOU JUST TAUGHT ME THE MOST VALUABLE PIECE OF INFORMATION NO WOMAN HAS TAUGHT ME BEFORE!! I had no idea about going up a size if you go down the other size. That explains why my boobs are still popping out of my bra 😂
The Skims bra seems to give you really good support
When I gained 100lbs in 2021, I got a bra fitting but I wouldn't fit at any normal store so I found a plus size lingerie store IN the mall. So I'd get a fitting, they're quick and not as invasive as it seems lol 💚💚💚 ((and btw I'm down 50lbs 💪🏻))
Oh my god- a strapless bra that fits right, doesn't make my chest look oddly shaped, and DOESNT HAVE A LATEX/SILICONE BAND is literally **iiiimmmmpossible** to find!
Bra shopping is literally the worst. I have a very large chest and Soma Is the best brand I have found! I would also consider going down a band size if you have to use the last hook bc when it stretches out you may not be able to wear it anymore!
Love this video. Strapless bras are also my nemesis lol. I got one from Lane Bryant after I finally figured out my actual bra size and I really like it!
since I gain and changed to a bigger size. I have no idea what size fit me well. Some M , L , XL depends
I do not like wire bra and have not worn them for many years. I would like to wear strapless bra which comfortable wearing.
I used to have soft strapless as pull over and did not like them at all but recently, they are very comfy to wear and
I want to get them more but I do not know what size fit me. Any suggestions? I am between 36C and 38C
I think the lively bra was the wrong size and the soma bra looks awesome but it too big if you’re on the closet hooks. I’m still looking and so in the no wire club. Love to see more🌺
CACIQUE from Lane Bryant. A properly fitting bra shouldn't feel the underwire and on the losest hook so you can tighten it over time as the elastic will give.
I am a Soma fan personally! I have a few of their regular non wired bras and love the fit and comfort of them.I have yet to try a strapless one & have heard many good things! Will be trying a strapless one now after your video!
Just throwing this out there, i dont think you are buying/ wearing the correct bra size. Most women are nit wearing properly fitting bras in their true size. Unfortunately sizing isnt unform between brands either which makes it harder.
I have been on the hunt for great plus-size bras for my whole adult life. I had an idea one day to go to several places and get fitted for bras. I went to four bra/intimates stores/locations and was given FOUR different bra sizes. I see a lot of people talking about wrong sizing in the comment section, while that may be a factor - I think nothing is ever consistent like Carrie said and things fluctuate by brand/store, etc. It is very overwhelming and hard to know what size to get when needing specific needs, material, wire/no wire, etc.
I feel this, I have been professionally fitted multiple times and that was a good starting point but I found that a little trial and error was still necessary! Also if you want a bra rec, the Glossies by Gossard is my fave and it comes in so many pretty colors
Tip: you should always have a new bra in the loosest hook, since the band will stretch with wear. Then you start using the tighter hooks. Also, bra band is supposed to be so tight, that you can only fit 2 fingers under it.
Oh Lively was not tts for me... and I am talking about the regular kind of bras and it absolutely pancakes my boobs.
I tried that lively bra, and it was the most uncomfortable thing I had worn in a long time. Same experience as you.
if the company you’re ordering from does free returns or easy returns, please try to order multiple sizes for your try on videos
Skims is the winner
True & Co Convertible Bandeau Bra Please!!!
You're wearing the wrong sizes. You're band is smaller for sure not 40 (most likely 34-36) and your cup is larger maybe a D-DD

Okay y'all, I've been on the Bra That Fits websites and reddits and ALL that. I've done deep dives into the style of bra, the shapes, the sizings etc. I've gotten multiple professional fittings from local businesses that understand correct fittings. YES, the underwire is much more comfortable when you go through all of this. But NO, I still cannot stand an underwire. That's on my unique sensory needs. IDC if it is pro-fitted, I cannot deal with underwire, and that doesn't mean there's something wrong w me or my pro-fitted, multiple times confirmed size and shape. HATING UNDERWIRE IS VALID.
eta: I found it helpful that Carrie went with 1 size across different brands. This is pretty on-brand for her other try-ons. It shows the drastic size differences across brands (which is something she mentioned(!) and is well aware of) which we as women really shouldn't have to deal with.
Knox best no no underwire bras.
Wacoal does the best strapless bras.
We need a sticky bra try on!!!
Strapless bras are the worst☹️
Try the BraLab bra
I find that most strapless bras give you pointy boobs. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s just the way it lays without straps. I will say…the bustier style strapless bras are so much more effective for c and up cups. Plus you’re less likely to have that weird back/side roll strapless bras can give you
If you like the feeling of nothing, try the perky pear tape, it's only 1 use but worth the money for an event. I am an F cup and have used it a few times for weddings and am always blown away at the support, comfort and longevity. I also love the wonderbra ones but they deffo have the pressure thing going on also
