You suffer enough in perimenopause, your bra shouldn't be another reason.

On top of the itching, screaming, and bleeding, the last thing I want to be doing is fighting with my bra.

But that's what I've been doing for the past few months. So, not having purchased a new one in years, I turned to the wise women of threads for recommendations... and they did not disappoint.

Below is a consolidated list of about 20 bra brands including fit. Note: the list is easiest to read on a desktop (vs. mobile)

And yes, someone did recommend the Queen's corset maker. (We love her for that.)
