36HHReview by S H on
Being at home meant, like most, I needed a bra that was comfortable and where wires don't dig in. I've tried most of the non-wired bras here, but at size 36HH, they all give that dreaded monoboob. The Nova however, managed to keep my boobs separate, probably due to the crossover design. There is nowhere near the amount of support you get from underwired bras - ie I wouldn't be jumping around or going outside with this on, but it is definitely better than no bra at all. It also doesn't give me the most flattering of shapes. I wear the Jasmine a lot - upfront and together. The Nova pushes my boobs down and to the side more, almost like a minimiser bra.
I struggle with straps too - thin ones will dig into my shoulders. The Nova was surprisingly comfortable for most of the day. But sadly, by the end of it, the straps were digging in painfully. If the front part continued over for just another inch or so, this probably wouldn't have happened. But it did mean I had to wait a few days before wearing again.
Also, I found the band rides a little at the back, and under my boobs at the front rather than lying flat against my ribcage. Maybe I need to go up a cupsize and down a band size.
I am keeping it though as its good enough for being hunched over my desk for hours on end and I certainly don't mind the wires digging in after a time on every other bra I own!
