OMG every store I visit has nothing but padded push up bra's unless your one of the blessed ladies who where the larger sizes. I wear a 34C and can not find a bra any where but the dollar store and there selection is extremely limited. I have even purchased a high dollar bra from victoria secret and haven't had any luck. Currently I have two bra's which provide me with support and comfort. Can any one help me find a store that will have a regular bra, and by regular I mean no extra padding and is not pushed up that has a great deal of support. I'm in desperate need of support. The majority of my bra's cause my breast to lay on my chest. Please help

What can I do next?

Walmart has a huge selection. Playtex in particular has several styles that are not padded or pushed up.

I would sugges that you try http://www.justmysize.com They usually cater to plus sizes but I just purchased some bras from there and many of them have a great deal of support without padding. I wear a 42D and have the similar problem as you when searching for a good bra in local stores. They have bras as low as $11.99 from underwires to ones without underwires with extra shaping and support. Hope this helps!

Have you ever been sized? I only ask cause I know a lot of woman wear the wrong bra size and maybe once you have the right size you'll have better luck finding bras, or you can specifically ask when they size you to point out types of bras that come with little or no padding. My roomate and I both got sized and she thought she was an A cup and went to a C cup and I thought I was a D cup and I'm really a DD or DDD cup. Maybe if you find a better fitting bra maybe that in itself will make a difference. I know I've seen non-padded bras in C cups, but I couldn't for sure tell you where. Good luck and I hope this helps!!:)

I'm a 36C and I love Bali bras. Buy them at Pennys, Kolhs, Macy's, lots of places. Go try some on and see what you think. I buy lined, but not padded and some with underwires are comfortable beleive it or not. Or if all else fails go to Maddox shop in casa linda plaza and get fitted for a bra, kinda of expensive though. I think Macy's will do free fittings, just go ask them.

I had the same problem after my kids were born. My bra size changed & I couldn't find anything with enough support. Go to the Maddox shop in Casa Linda Plaza, www.maddoxshop.com. They will measure you & help you find the right bra. Also they can do any alterations that you may want done. It is totally worth the drive to find a good fitting bra!

Nordstrom's has an excellent selection. I am a DD or an E. I have my best luck there or at the Maddox shop. Nordstrom's has pretty bra's though and they go to a G. Wacoal makes a great underwire stretch lace that rocks and supports and is only around 40 bucks.

Good luck.
