Ladies - Belvia Bras

[rockyracoon]

Have any of you tried these bras, are they as comfortable as they say?

I've got inflammation around my ribcage and my bras are causing me a fair bit of pain. I've resigned myself to the fact I'll have to wear non wired ones in future but am not happy with the range I've seen, the Belvia ones might tick the box while I'm suffering.

Any advice?

Very varied reviews:

Yes rocky they are comfortable, but they don't offer much support. If you've got small/medium sized boobs then they're fine.

Thanks Chris, I'll have a read of those.

Marje, I'm average so probably don't need much support, just looking for a bit of comfort whilst I've got this flare up.

Who'd be a woman eh? ;)

what about a nice little lycra cami top?

[rockyracoon]

Ooh, thanks Anne that might be a thought, though I do need a bit of support. Where do you think I'd find one of those?

[anneasquith]

most shops id say, that sell bras and t shirts, will be more comfortable as nothing sitting on rib cage, even a tight t shirt would do ?

[rockyracoon]

Not sure a tight T-shirt would offer enough support for me, I'm not Dolly but gravity is starting to win ;)

I'll have a look whilst I'm hunting down the Belvias.

M&S do a nice range of little tops that offer support.

Thanks Naomi, they look like they might fit the bill :)

Primark have some nice comfy little crop top style bras too, too small for me for support but I wish I could wear them, look soooo comfy!

I have similar issues with inflammation and opted for a maternity bra from Debenhams in the end which is very comfortable and not too bad a style for a non-wired.

I have the first black one.

Hi Eve, I dismissed the maternity and post op bras in M&S whilst I was in there, with hindsight I should have looked more.

Lots of options, so a trip to Lakeside in the morning methinks, thanks ladies :)
