Sarah LafargeThe best support bras for older women
Wearing a supportive bra is essential for all, but this becomes especially important as the years pass and you head into your sixth decade. When choosing the best bra for a fifty-year old and over, it's important to focus on those with design details that give excellent lift and shape, such as wide straps, a firm underband plus full-cup coverage. Our Total Support bra range has great options for this age group such as this pretty lace non-wired design, or try our selection of full cup bras. If your bra size is bigger than an F-cup, we have a collection of designs perfect for a fuller bust.
The most comfortable bras for elderly women
Comfort is key when you're looking for the best bra for an elderly woman. It might be advisable to choose a non-wired style, which offers gentle support without the risk of wires digging into delicate skin. Look for soft, breathable fabrics and seamless designs for added comfort and think about switching to pull-on crop-top styles for a secure, easy-to-wear alternative to a classic bra.
If you have a smaller bust, but still want good support and shape, a lightly padded T-shirt bra will create a smooth, natural silhouette under clothing. A bralette is another great option for comfortable support without the structure of a traditional bra.
Best bras for menopause symptoms
Perimenopause and menopause can be a difficult time with many women experiencing challenging physical symptoms such as hot flushes and sore breasts. So making sure that your lingerie helps keep you as cool and comfortable as possible is key.
Look for bras made with innovative, temperature-regulating fabrics to help you stay cool: now more than ever is the time to prioritise comfort when choosing what to wear next to your skin. We like this soft, non-padded supportive bra or try a non-wired style for gentle, comfortable support. Bras with a higher proportion of cotton are also a good choice for temperature regulation.
