  Some bras just have squeaky wires. Even my best fitting bra sometimes squeaks. I don't mind it cause it fits. The cup volume is good for you so maybe try a 40G UK or a 38GG UK. Your current bras are not using UK sizing. Also, maybe try to get a bra whose underwires overlap at the gore? It would make the gore narrower and more likely to tack: https://lingerieabstracts.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/overlapping-underwires.gif

    I've never heard of the wires in the center over-lapping!
    But thanks to this site, I'm also learning that there are many more companies in Europe that offer "large-cup bras," than there are here.

    Thanks!

    The big problem with many US and UK bra companies is that when you get up to G cup and above, most brands and styles are too shallow, too broad wired, and too wide gored. Most (but not all) women with larger breasts are projected, narrow rooted, and have close together breasts that require a narrow gore.

    Poland has a few companies that are more likely to cater to larger breasted, projected, narrow rooted, and close together breasted women.

    I've noticed that about the companies here, definitely... that the only way to get big cups is on a bra with a big band (which make "pancake-boobs" on me.)

    I've searched a few companies from Poland, but I'd need to save up to order one! Then the probable return shipping!
    I'll start up a collection... mow some lawns maybe...
    :)

  • I don't understand why you have to have a big band with a big cup. Do you mean tall with hooks? Or a larger band size?

  • Sry... I mean larger size around.

    For example, Cacique by Lane Bryant is known here for (and one of the only retailers who) offer larger cup bras.
    But the handful of styles they make in the "extended" cups  
    A) only go up to US H (UK-F?) and
    B) START at band size 38.
    Im thinking it's because Lane Bryant is a retailer of plus size women's apparel, 14w and up, and their intimates line was added for same Customer base.

    I found cacique 10 years ago and was so thrilled to be rid of the quad-boobs I'd been smashing since age 16, I didn't think it cud get better!

    The bra gods finally took pity, and a few weeks ago i stumbled upon this site... salvation!

    My chi-chi's have been reborn!

  • I gotcha. I wore their bras for a while. Good luck on finding a bra that fits!
