Siren Wool Blend Bralette

I love these bralettes! I have 5 of them now, and they are my go-to bras. Don’t let the wool fabric put you off. These are so comfortable and can be worn a couple of times before going in the (cold water!) wash. One little thing - there are pockets for inserts and a couple of mine came with the insert, but the rest did not. This one (Gravel color) did not have inserts. I much prefer to wear them with the insert for a nicer silhouette. Since I always remove the inserts before washing so they don’t get twisted, it’s not a big deal to trade them out, but I do wish they each came with their own inserts.

I'm a 36C and the large is my size-ish. The band around the ribcage is snug, but the cups have zero support. If the band was less snug I'd keep it as a couch quarantine bra; it's nowhere near supportive enough for even light yoga or a leisurely walk around the block. Forget any sort of exercise if your boobs are a B cup or larger. Great in theory but kind of the lesser of both worlds (not enough support for activity, yet not comfortable enough for lounging). For context, I got this to be a light/medium support bra for yoga and walking while pregnant. Fabric is otherwise soft and nice.

I wanted to love this bra. I'm all about the wool undergarments. But this bra had one major NO for me and it is this. The bra cup has an envelope opening for you to put a pad in there if you wanted. Totally normal. Usually they hide it under your armpit or whatever. Not this one! This envelope is right at the top of the triangle cup. I can't handle the feel of a bulky seam anyway and this seam was in a terrible location. Plus it made the whole cup look a little off, the stretch wasn't even.

It's so hard to find wool bralettes that fit large cups and small bands. Wool& scoop and Branwyn busty bralettes were busts. I didn't have high hopes for this but I got one on sale so yolo. I am a 34DD and ordered a medium which fit the ribcage, but my DD cups spill over the sides creating a quadra-boob situation. It's still sorta wearable as a lounge bra so I'll keep it for summer traveling with loose shirts but I wish these wool companies would test on this body type when designing :( I just want a bra option that doesn't get stinky with sweat! Heads up that this bra was scratchier upon arrival than the siren underwear I have but it gets better with washing.
