Just found this thread so apologies if it’s been asked before - but recommendations on just a plain white tshirt bra please? I’m a 34F and it seems mission impossible to find them in my size in most high street shops!
I’ve had a few decent bras from Asda (I’m the same size), they were 2 for £10. Nothing fancy but they do the job 😊

I’m 34G and the most comfortable ones I can find with no overspill at the top are the Asda £5 ones,

I'm a 65E / 30DD in UK size and while they don't come cheap, there's nothing better than Marie Jo L'aventure bras, specifically the Tom bra line for me. I've never worn a bra more comfortable and it fits me any day of the month, rather than my other ones which I either spill out of or that are too lose some days. Hate hormones.

This time last year they were 35p …. Every time I get them the price has gone up!
if you have a good asian grocer near you they are often still that price

not related to that as such, but a life changing (for me) tip to keep bras longer is to use a specific washing bag (if you use a washing machine) or, if you can, wash them by hand; they last SO much longer than when I just used to throw them in the machine

I’ve probably mentioned it before, the Nutmeg make-up range in Morrison’s is very impressive. Have a red matt creamy lipstick which I love, not over-perfumed or greasy and lasts well, plus their primer is excellent.

This!!! I try to hand-wash mine, but too be honest, I can be arsed to do it every time. A washing back is essential, also to protect your other clothes from the little metal hooks. The lady who fitted me also said that it's fine to wash bras in the washing machine, but use a gentle spin cycle, no more that 400-800 and not too hot.

Tbh, the sheer duration I wear each bra for really means that I can only machine wash mine 😂 Pressure washering like a green patio would also work. I just don't think a tickle in the sink is gonna cut it 😅

I hadn't even thought of the hook thing! Yeh I aim to hand wash mine but most of the time I am just too lazy :ROFLMAO:

Washing bags are brilliant. I bought some probably about ten years ago and they’re still going strong, I use them for bras, tights, delicates and anything else I don’t want to get damaged or lost in the machine. They have saved me so much money and hassle, and they really weren‘t expensive. I think mine were a fiver for three.

I'm a bit late on the subject but Tesco do 2x pack of unpadded, seamless bras for £15 or something. They're all I wear, last ages and wash well in a delicates bag in the washing machine 👍

I love Eylure stick on lashes from Superdrug, they sometimes have them on BOGOHP so you get 2 sets for £7.50, they look lovely and people always ask if they’ve been done professionally

I’m not sure if they’re the same ones, but I got a two pack of crop top style bras, slightly ribbed, from Tesco. Great quality, and I wear them all the time. Matching knickers as well!

They're not the ones I meant, mine are underwired standard bra shape. But I've got the bralette crop top ones too - very comfortable 😀

Cien organic olive oil moisturiser from Lidl is really good. Has nice ingredients like allantoin and glycerine and is non sticky, doesn't leave a film and smells fresh.

Used to be £1.99 but I think it's gone up to approx £2.29?

I use the hyaloronic (however you spell it) acid and salycylic (sorry) acid separately. Seem to work just as well as any other brand I’ve tried.

Fairy bread - Australian kids party food.
Cheapest white bread, butter and sprinkles (hundreds and thousands) all over it!
I still make it sometimes now!
I lived in Australia for a year, on a working holiday visa, about twenty five years ago, and I always remember how, for morning tea, in one office I was temping in, there would be a plate of fairy bread, although I'd forgotten it was called that 🙂
Being from Ireland, I'd never seen it before.
They also served up plates of really small meat pies, I was fascinated how different it was to a UK or Irish coffee break!

I lived in oz for a few years as a child, I remember seeing this for the first time at a birthday party and wanting to like it as it looked so fun but... :sick:
