As you might know, I am a guy who has been dealing with mild to moderate gynecomastia for the last several years. I have been through lots of different bras, and the most recent is the 36C - Wacoal ยป Sport Underwire Bra (855170) which has been mostly doing well. Lately, though, I have had a lot of discomfort in the lower part of my breasts, between the nipple and the IMF. I've found that if I apply pressure to that area the pain mostly goes away. This causes me to think I need a different bra that provides strong support in that area.
I'm almost to the point where I'd be okay with a push-up bra, because I know that would give padding and support in that area, but I was hoping that the community here might know of other options without going to those lengths.

I'm not sure that a push-up bra would be particularly helpful in this case. Push-up padding generally doesn't offer much extra support in the bottom half of the cup. It just takes up space in the cups that would otherwise be occupied by your breasts and displaces that breast tissue to give the appearance of more upper fullness. If applying pressure to the tender area seems to help, I would start by trying some compression style sports bras before resorting to push-up bras. I don't have any specific recommendations, unfortunately, but someone else might.
Well, in the off-hours, like when I'm just hanging out around the house or when I am doing something particularly physical and don't want to saturate my Wacoal bras in sweat, I wear a Nike Fit Dry. The problem with those is they stretch out too quickly. I have 4 or 5 of them that I purchased about the same time, and they just don't squeeze like they used to.
