These pain-free alternatives are game changers for ladies with arthritis, post-operative constraints or injury. Many front-opening bras also come with a posture back to give full back support. Our front-opening bras still carry the full range of designs, styles, brands and support of regular bras. They come in all the traditional functions, with everyday bras, sports bras, designer bras and more. The difference is comfort, dignity and alternatives for ladies that don’t have the full mobility they require to suitable fasten and fit a regular bra.  Posture Corrector Bras - A Weight Off Your Shoulders Our posture corrector bras are designed to reduce pain and discomfort, frequently caused by a heavier bust, in several ways. Firstly, the fuller coverage back smooths unwanted lumps and bumps and increases back support. It evenly distributes the weight of the bust over a broader surface area, reducing the strain placed on the shoulders. Some of our wider coverage back panel bras also prevent the straps from slipping off the shoulders, which can be a significant pain point for some women. The straps on our posture corrector bras extend evenly from the sides and centre of the bra, providing separation and maximum support. This prevents any gaping and allows the bra to encase the breasts fully. The shoulder straps are also broader, preventing straps from digging in, another common issue for our fuller-busted ladies! The best part? Many of our options fall into the front-opening AND posture relief category! So, whether you suffer from shoulder or wrist injuries, need a post-surgery bra, or struggle with back clasps, this collection may be suitable for you. Wire Free Bras – No Wire? No Problem! Wire-free is the perfect option for complete comfort, flexibility, and that ‘barely there look’. On top of this, though, they are a fantastic choice for developing breasts or post-operative needs. We have something for everyone, no matter size, shape or requirement! A wire-free bra generally has a similar design to a traditional full coverage bra with an elastic band, hook and eye closure and adjustable straps; however - as the name suggests - without the underwire. This is the perfect selection for women with any size breast requiring less support without sacrificing comfort and flexibility.

Regarding your bra, there’s no such thing as a one size fits all. Whether a woman chooses a particular bra to help support her breasts during pregnancy, to stay comfy and secure at the gym, or to help ease back pain – there’s a bra to suit every body shape and size. Are You Experiencing Back Pain? A good bra does more than protect your boobs. When fitted correctly, it also helps keep your back pain-free. Because we’re all different, the right bra will differ from woman to woman. If you’re honest with yourself, do you know if you’ve got the right bra for your boobs, back and body? Your bra might be too big or too small if you have bad posture, back pain, or even pinched nerves. A professionally fitted bra can make all the difference if you live an active life and like to keep moving. An inadequate bra can set up a terrible cycle – ‘Women limit themselves from exercising because of their breasts. They deprive themselves, and the less they exercise, the more obese and buxom they may become,’ says sports physiotherapist Deirdre McGhee. What To Look For Try this stat on for size: a pair of D-cup breasts weighs between 6-10 kg; that’s a lot of weight to carry around. It stands to reason that the bigger your breasts, the more they move and the more uncomfortable you’re likely to be. The answer is almost always as easy as a great bra. A bra designed with your boobs in mind is purpose-made to support the weight of your breasts. When your bra does its job, it can prevent strain in your back, neck and shoulders and even stave off terrible tension headaches.
