I’m a big-chested mom – my favorite bras are so supportive and have no underwire, I feel totally snug but not compressed
AFTER years of searching for the “holy grail” of supportive bras, one mom is convinced she’s finally found it.
Rather than keeping the treasure to herself, the generous woman is telling the world what makes the ultra-comfortable bra so great.
Mom-of-three Kelsey (@itsmekelsc) knows how challenging it can be to find a flattering, comfortable bra.
She wears a 36DDD, and bras with larger cup sizes tend to have uncomfortable wires or super-tight straps that cut into the shoulders.
In a video, Kelsey tried on three bras from a new-to-her brand that specializes in sizes C-cup and larger.
“As someone with a bigger chest, I have struggled to find bras that are supportive enough for me,” Kelsey said.
But the brand Forlest, attuned to the mom’s difficulties, sent her some bras to try as part of a paid partnership.
As she modeled the first of the selection, Kelsey told her followers that she had been skeptical of the brand before trying it.
“I’m actually really shocked with how much I love these,” she said.
The bra fit her body perfectly, without any overflow in the cups or spillage on the sides.
“I feel totally snug, but there’s no underwire, so I don’t feel compressed or uncomfortable,” Kelsey said.
She also liked the security provided by the four clasps at the back of the bra. It even came with an extender to ensure a perfect fit.
Next, Kelsey tried a different style from the brand, with criss-cross straps over the shoulders.
“I’m genuinely impressed with this bra,” she said. “I think I’m even more obsessed with this one.”
The crossover straps made her feel more lifted, but distributed the weight evenly, so the bra wasn’t digging into her shoulders.
“The color is also really cute,” she said, smiling at the pale, seafoam-green cups.
Kelsey stepped offscreen and put on a plain black crop top so she could demonstrate the best method for wearing the strappy bra.
“It can look confusing, but we’re going to try it on right now,” she said. Getting the bra on was similar to putting on a strappy tank top.
She simply held out the bra, slid her arms into the openings, pulled it over her head, and hooked the back.
Kelsey said that other bras in her size are often so constricting, she finds it difficult to breathe.
But in these new bras, she said, “I feel so supported without feeling uncomfortable.”
