I’m a 32FF & these are best high street bras for big boobs under £10 & why Primark comes up trumps, says Malin Andersson
SPLASHING out on a new bra can feel like a luxury these days, especially if you have a big bust.
With the UK’s average bra size now at 36DD finding a supportive, comfortable and attractive bra at a reasonable price is no mean feat, with larger bras often being more expensive.

Love Island’s Malin Andersson, 30, who has natural size 32FF bust says: “Since having my daughter Xaya nine months ago, I’ve jumped up a cup size, now being a FF I find it a lot harder to shop for bras as ones aren’t as readily available.
“I’d normally have to spend about £35 for a bra from somewhere such as Curvy Kate or Ann Summers.
“I want a bra to feel comfortable, lift me up and fit correctly.”
Unfortunately larger sized lingerie has a reputation for being bland — offering more in the way of support than sexiness.

But finding a bra in a specific larger size can sometimes be trickier.
Malin says: “I really loved this black bra, it fit really well, it was comfortable both on the cup and the back, I could definitely wear this day to day.”
Pale pink – Matalan: £17 for 3 (£5.66 per bra): 2/5
Malin says: ‘I wasn’t quite sure of the feel of this one’
MULTIPACKS are a great way of spending less on bras, especially when you know the bra fits you well and it’s comfortable.
Matalan also has a special DD+ range in their lingerie section, with bras going up to a 42F.
Malin says: “I wasn’t quite sure of the feel of this one.
“Unlike some of the others, the quality didn’t feel as good and it was slightly small on the cup for me.”
Blue lace – F&F at Tesco, £10: 3/5
Malin says ‘I like the plunge style of the bra itself, it’s very flattering’
WHILE F&F do offer larger sizes, unlike other brands which have a bigger selection on their website, you can only shop in store or a small selection on Next’s website.
Their size range is good and spans from 32A to 40G.
Malin says: “This bra feels really supportive and I love the attention to detail with the lace, I also like the plunge style of the bra itself, it’s very flattering.”
Printed – George at Asda, £10: 4/5
Malin says: ‘This one is great quality and fits nicely’
GEORGE’S new Entice Lingerie range launches on Monday.
Described as a premium line, the bras still start at only £10.
With sizes ranging all the way up to a 42F, you can get stylish bras on the cheap whatever your size.
Malin says: “I love that you can find interesting patterned bras that are in bigger sizes, that you don’t have to spend a lot of money on, and this one is great quality and fits nicely.”
Grey – TU at Sainsbury’s, £16 for 2 (£8 per bra): 3/5
Malin says: ‘This was a little small for my cup’
TU has one of the biggest ranges of bras for larger chests out of all the stores offering cheap lingerie.
A lot of stores start their back sizes higher if the cup size is larger, so finding a 32in back with a bigger cup can be hard to come by, but Sainsbury’s do offer this.
Malin says: “This was a little small for my cup. The back fit really well though, and it looked a lot better on than I thought.”
Dusty pink – Peacocks, £8: 4/5
Malin says: ‘This was one of my favourite bras to try on’
PEACOCKS has a whole tab on its website reserved for lingerie and there are plenty of bras to choose from.
However, while sizes stretch to a 44in back size and an F cup, there are more styles available for some of the smaller sizes.
