I’m interested in how to fit a shelf bra. I have a smaller band and larger cups, 32F/34E. I feel like the girls would pop right out of a shelf bra unless it was specifically made for larger breasts. Some tips on how to actually wear a shelf bra would e beneficial…maybe Ill check out that website you mentioned above.

Suzanne,

I have been told that it is all about comfort. I could not imagine my wife with the size of her breasts going without a bra, but you are proof that it exists.

I am a full figured women I have not worn a bra in over 15 years, I love the tank tops that have the built in bras in them. I can not stand to be restrained all day at work. I have a daughter she is fairly large figured also, she does not like wearing bras either.I don’t even own any bras, I just like being comfortable.

Wendy, Honestly I don't know off hand if there are any pajamas of the type that you are describing. In the mean time I would suggest a good quality sports bra like the Grenier Full Support Cotton Sports Bra from Bigger Bras. When I find out more I will let you know.

I found this thread in my desperate search for some comfy (not sexy, not ugly, cute and comfy) pjs that would end my embarrassment each morning when I get out of bed and my boobs are hanging down to my knees in my pjs. My kids don’t really appreciate it and I find it embarrassing. But I don’t want to always have to throw a robe on to hide them. I’d like to be able to wake up and have my coffee without getting dressed and putting on my bra.

So, what I want are comfy pjs that have a soft, cotton shelf bra (like in a cotton camisole – no wire!) inside some cotton pjs. Just a little evening and morning support so I can wear my pjs without feeling gross.

Help!

I agree that shelf bras are impractical (the kind we see in the picture, not the kind inside swimsuits). They are meant to entice, and that they do. my wife is well-endowed and believe it or not, she wears shelf bras almost as much as full cup bras. when she wears a shelf bra, her breasts look great under most any kind of clothing. she is not shy about her nipples being seen so tank tops, t-shirts, and any other kind of tight fitting top is fine for her. for those women who are self conscious of this, you probably shouldn’t wear them outside of the house.

i’m sold on shelf bras!
