Cleo Atlanta vs ThirdLove 24/7 Classic Uplift Plunge Bra

I think you'd get a better fit from a plunge than a balconette or full cup. You can try the panache ana or the cleo atlanta (which actually has a different kind of back so that might help with your strap issue). If you can, I'd try a 30DD in addition to the 30E. The calculator might be overestimating your volume a bit

You can wash it, right? Am I making that up? Okay, wait No, that's a lie. I might have just lied about washing it They're just good bras and that's al...

I think you’ll be more comfortable in styles with lower gores, so take a look at plunge bras. I have the Cleo Atlanta and Panache Ana (love those - although Ana runs 1-2 cup sizes small, I had to go up 1 cup size).

I recently purchased 3 bras from ThirdLove and they are the best fitting bras I own I was shocked, I usually wear a 30DD but they haven’t been fitting me properly so I went up to a 30DDD which is a 30F at ThirdLove. I avoided buying from ThirdLove for years because I heard such mixed reviews about them, especially on here people seem to strongly dislike them. But I finally decided just to give it a go after desperation of not finding properly fitting bras for my shape and they fit insanely well! My top cup gaping is gone, there’s the right amount of projection for me(I would say I’m averagely projected), the bottoms don’t compress my breast tissue, my wide roots are covered. I agree that for the price point of the bras the materials used are probably not worth the market value they are sold at, but they are also insanely comfortable especially the cups, they don’t itch at all and the cups are a very comfortable foam
