If it's a good fitting bra then underwire isn't necessary. I went to l&t recently to update my bras--the only underwire bra that felt comfortable was Natori, pretty pricey though. I like Warner's and Donna Karen bras both without underwire.

Oh no, this is going to be me. Was 34B pre-kid, now am 36C/D while nursing, am sure I'm going to be 36A after nursing and all that.

I've always worn underwire from day one.

gee, I feel like I've been missing out on something...never heard of the Wacoal brand but they sound like what I'd need as a small B cup. Do any of you Wacoal fans have a style you prefer--one that is comfortable, smooth under clothes, shaping but not excessively padded, ideal for small figures?

After pregnancy and nursing my little guys are still perkeyish but still kind of saggy, but not in a D cup way. I found that the wacoal lithely padded underwire and it makes me look like I have some cleavage... Love that. I find it comfy, more so then other underwire bras.

a) You've never had kids.
b) Plastic surgery is your friend.
c) You have kids but you were born with silicone boobs that bounce back after each pregnancy.

Which is it?

Not the PP, but my breasts are still perky and I nursed my son for more two years, I'm 33. Just saying, it is possible to still have naturally perky breasts after kids.

Me too, although I am a full A-barely B but I'm also 41 (nursed 2 kids). Around the house I rarely wear a bra, I don't need it for the support. I used to hate being so flat-chested, but it's finally paying off.

No underwires, pre or post kids.

Yes, I started off wearing them and now feel more comfortable. I like vs cotton pushups. Not too much padding imo compared to their other pushups.

When I was a 34B before my daughter, I never wore underwire. I didn't need to. I'm a 34A now and will never wear underwire. I wear t-shirt bras from Calvin Klein and love them, though I wish they lasted a little longer. (the lace on the sides tends to rip after a bunch of washings.)

On me, my 34Bs are a pretty good fit. One of the only things I actually like about my body.

Agreed - I've always actually really liked my boobs (34B here)... but I have a small frame and they fit me just right. I've always worn an underwear with a very thin padding, more for shaping than padding.

No. Why?

Like PP, between a 34A and 34B post children. They are small, don't get me wrong, but honestly anything bigger would make me look fatter than I am. No underwire for me.

Was a 34B (am now 36C), and I never wear underwires. The girls are perky and unless I'm working out, in which case I wear a sports bra, I don't need the support.

I wear a padded t-shirt bra, I think from Warners.
