Im going to Triumph tomorrow to go bra shopping and I need some advice. Ive brought most of my bras from them but lately they always seem to get a hole and the under wire pokes me till I fix it. Then it pops out and happens again.
Im big and I need good support and I want it minimizing so that I dont look as big as I am.
So which type of bra should I look into buying?
TIA.

I go to the place on 18th ave near the train. They have excellent fitters there and I prefer that atmosphere.

Where in Europe? If you are in the UK, you need to get to Bravissimo ASAP. Your bras don't fit, thats why they break and poke you. Bravissimo is one of the best places in the entire world to get a properly fitted bra, because they use correct sizing methods. They have a huge selection. Most places don't use correct measuring methods, which is why you end up with bras having too small cups (which causes the wires to poke you).
If not Europe, I can try to recommend something in the country you are located

If in England go to Rigby and Pellar. I went there after many years of bad bra wearing and was fitted and have never looked back. They are expensive but I bought bras there and then found them online for much cheaper. If they are good enough for the whole royal family, they'll be good enough for you!

I still recommend Bravissimo for fittings over Rigby and Pellar, which has great products but can be inconsistent in sizing. I'm glad that you had a good experience! But I have unfortunately heard of negative experiences where the fitters use poor sizing methods. It seems like they can be inconsistent.
But I do totally agree with buying bras online for cheaper once you have been properly sized!

I find it quite ironic that the photo at the top of the article shows a VERY poor bra fit. The band is at least 2 sizes too big and the cup size is too small (the underwires are sitting on her breast tissue, not around it).

I went and brought a bra today by Triumph. I got a minimize and they made sure that it fit me good.
I asked them the reason the wire comes out and they said its cause the bra is too small. Also she told me that I have to put them in a bag when I do the wash and not in the dryer, and not to use softener.
Thanks for all your advice.
