Has anyone ever found a comfortable bra?

I find that if a bra fits well an underwire can offer a lot of support and not be uncomfortable. I have been seeing lots of bras advertised without underwires showing support with all sized models. However, IRL I have never tried on a bra without one that offered the same support which for me adds comfort.
My go to is Wacoal Sports Bras. I get them on sale. They last a long time and don’t ride up, straps don’t fall down or dig in etc. They aren’t lingerie but they fit well.

I have taken to wearing a cotton cami around the house under my blouses instead of a bra. It is comfortable and is respectable to open the door to anyone who comes calling. But out in public, I wear balli. My mother was very well endowed and swore by Lilly of france.

I love these bras, kinda pricey but worth every penny.

Good gosh, I hate wearing them and shopping for them now.
They dig into my shoulders SO MUCH, even when I let out the strap length as maximally as possible.
What I would like:
1. Strapless
2. Or, with straps that I can swap out for longer ones purchasable on eBay
AND (key!)
3. Front closing
Size: Not sure. Usually 42-44, and D-DD. However, this week I tried on a strapless (back closure) 44DD at Soma and it was way too tight. So maybe in a strapless, I would be a 46.
I liked the Soma bralettes that they had 3 years ago, but the newer ones have (you guessed it!) tighter straps again. I don't care about wire-free vs. underwire or materials, as long as they aren't horribly itchy. I don't want to be padded, but a light smoothing action is my favorite.
Does what I won't even exist???

I wear a Bali 0180 underwire. I have worn them for many years and wouldn't know what to do if they discontinued them. I usually have to order them from a kiosk at Kohls cause they never have my size in stock. They can also be found at Hanes outlet stores.

this is hysterical, you all feel my pain. We all get to that moment we can take off our bra, AAAAHHHH, relief.
I went to a store that specializes in fitting bras. The woman told me the proper way to put on a bra is to put it on, and attach the hooks in the back, Not the way i do, which is in the front and spinning it around after closing it in the front. I can't put on a bra that way. For the 50 years i've been wearing them, i always put them on in the front and spinning it around.
Who or what man invented wire. how would they feel if we put wire in their underwear, make it tight so the boys can't move all day. Make it so the wire holds them apart, and when they cough, or sneeze have to arrange their boys.Some days it will stab them when they move the wrong way. I want to see that day!
