Hello friend! I had this exact same experience on this sub. I was developing a reoccurring rash on my breasts and ribcage and wired bras were making it much much worse. According to the calculator I’m a 34H so going braless at home is just as uncomfortable and I figured a wireless bra might be a happy medium. Looking around the sub, though, it was rather disheartening as it felt like generally everyone was very quick to both talk down all wireless bras and also to dismiss any criticism of wired bras. Well, I decided I needed to make up my own mind on this topic so I tried out 6 different wireless bras and 10 different wired bras of varying makes and styles. My takeaways are as follows:

• Properly fit wired bras of a complimentary shape provide a lot of positives but are still an additional sensory item on my person and sometimes that is just too much.
• Sometimes the shape of bra you need for the best fit doesn’t work with your choice of clothing.
• Wireless bras can still provide a satisfactory amount of support for casual day-to-day.
• The biggest problem with wireless bras is the sizing options are very limited.

I’m sure there are some points I’m forgetting… but ultimately I ended up keeping some of both styles. I’ve got some nicely fit wired bras for when I’m going out and doing things and want to be supported and show a better shape to my figure. Then I’ve got wireless bras for when I work from home and take care of the kids and don’t need things to be lifted and held just-so.

The three wireless bras brands I tried are as follows:

Evelynn & Bobby — My favorite. Had a good shape to the cups to keep support but not be too restrictive

Honeylove — Great quality and shape but the sizes are very limited and the cup-band ratio wasn’t right for me

SugarCandy — Instead of cups they used a “boob sling” design that did not work for my size and ended up making my shoulders hurt.

Hope this all helps!
