To be completely honest, the bra I am currently wearing is almost six years old. It started off a dusty pink but is now a washed-out grey. It is an embarrassment - but I rely on it constantly.

Why? Simply because it's the only bra that fits me. I have tried to find replacements - spending hours trawling underwear shops and department stores. But as a 28D/30C/Whatever size the next fitter tells me I am - I struggle.

I’ve even gone back to the makers of my veteran number – Calvin Klein – but they no longer stock the T-shirt bra I bought back in 2010, and their more recent designs are either too small or too big in the cup.

So I’ve tried other shops and ended up buying bras in 32B (really not my size), 30C (an apparent anomaly), 28D (La Senza used to do them but since they closed I can’t find them anywhere) and 30D (meh, sometimes).

In the end I’ve just resorted to flimsy bralettes that offer no support and are basically crop tops.

The 15-odd other bras I own have never really been worn. What seemed like an okayish option in the shop actually ended up giving me no support/hurting my back/being so small my boobs kept falling out.
