Tried and Tested: Wonderbra Ultimate strapless bra
Tried & Tested | Michele Obi | June 22, 2009
I’m big busted. So, finding a decent strapless bra is a nightmare and an experience that I often avoid.
As a result I don’t own many halterneck or strapless items of clothing. Hence, why I literally jumped at the chance to test out the “Ultimate” strapless bra by Wonderbra.
Before I offer my thoughts on Wonderbra’s latest contribution to the lingerie world, let me give you a bit of background info.
The bra was specifically created for ladies like myself that have a difficult time finding a strapless bra which keeps everything in place. The bra has no underwiring, instead Wonderbra has utilized silicone banding to give wearers extra hold and support. What’s really special about the bra, are the two grips on each side which are shaped like hands and lift the breasts up.
Alright, so is it any good? YES, it really is. I can’t rave about this bra enough. Bear in mind, I have put it through extensive and rigorous testing. I’ve taken it out on nights out dancing, I’ve jumped around in my room while wearing the bra and I’ve worn it out on many occasions.
I’m giving it the thumbs up for two reasons:
1. Every strapless bra I try starts out well, but by the end of the night, I may as well not be wearing a bra. The lift is gone and it’s just not a good look! However with this bra the support never ends.
2. This bra gave my boobs an amazing shape. I tried it with a number of outfits and the result was the same. I love my boobs in this bra!
Now if I have to be a spoil sport, my only complaint would be this - in order to keep everything in place the bra really does have a tight grip. For me, it was fine however I wouldn’t be surprised to hear that some wearers find it uncomfortable.
The “Ultimate” strapless bra comes in sizes 32A - 36F. I would really recommend it for ladies with big busts.£32 £25.60 available at Debenhams

Thank you so much for this review! A great strapless bra is an essential part of a wardrobe, especially in the summer. Nothing can ruin an outfit like an uncomfortable or awkwardly shaped strapless bra. Great to know that this one works! Good price, too.

If it’s recommended for ladies with large busts, why are sizes only up to 36F !!
I’ve heard about this bra from other reviews and I can’t wait to buy one! I followed your link and the product code isn’t in their catalog and it’s not in their list of bras, either. Where else can I find it?
Thanks!

@Linda indeed 36F isn’t a huge size. For someone bigger, I usually recommend a long line strapless bra. There are many different styles on the market but the Goddess Longline lace bra tends to get the best reviews.
