Elomi Caitlyn- A Great Bra For Boobs Beyond The Biggest Sizes.

I was so lucky to be invited to the British Plus Size Awards by lingerie company Elomi Lingerie where they are up for the prize of best lingerie. I have been a big fan of Elomi bras as they tend to be the best fitting bras I can find. I always struggle with finding bras that fit well as my boobs are too big for them. Elomi bras are great quality bras, but it doesn't go without having to compromise!

I'm wearing the lovely Caitlyn* in black here (42K) and it's a very beautiful everyday bra. It's beautifully embroidered and the cups gives you very nicely rounded shape.


As you can see the bra is too small in the cup. This is their biggest cup K and my boobs are bulging over the edge. 


The band is 42 and it's a good fit for me as it gives me support without being too tight. 


The boobs are spilling over the edge when I follow the lovely Caroline from Curvy Wordy's  advice of scoop and swoop by bending over and scopping all breast tissue into the cup. 


There is a difference of 22 inches between my underbust measurement and my overbust measurement so I need bigger cupped bras. Please lingerie companies, start making bigger cups for us bigger women with bigger band sizes as well. 


 This bra is a very good bra as it lifts my boobs and I don't feel the weight of them as much as with less supportive bras. Great constructed back band and firm, but still comfortable material in the cups makes this bra ideal for everyday wear. Cause when you've got heavy big boobs, you do want support and lift more than anything. 


As you can see the bra is too small in the cup, but perfect fit around the back. Straps are sitting comfortable on my shoulder and lays flat on my chest/shoulder which means that the weight of my boobs are not on the straps. I never ever suffer from back or neck ache due to my boobs. I think this is to the fact that I'm wearing a tight band that gives me support. 





To accomodate for my boobs, since K cup is pretty much the biggest all bras goes up to with a couple of exceptions, I always have to compromise and scoop my boobs more into the cup which again means that it spills over the sides instead. In the photo above I have moved some breast tissue and you can see some of it bulging over the side instead. I forgot to take proper photos of this, but I will add them later when my photographer comes home from work so he can take some for me. I don't have another choice and this is what I'm being used doing for as long as I can remember. Sometimes this means that I get nipple burns as my nipples keeps rubbing up against the fabric of the bra. It's such a shame that lingerie brands can't start making bigger cups and bigger backs cause surely I'm not the only one with the problem of too small cups. 

In the photo below I've moved the breast tissue more and it's starting to look better on. The centre gore is still miles away from my breast bone, but at least I don't have a quad boob and it feels comfortable. 


After I've scooped some breast tissue back into the bra it looks ok so I can wear it under clothes. 

I have to admit that Elomi get my points for comfort, style and long life expectancy as their bras are very comfortable and pretty. 



 I like the band on the bra to be tight. I'm 43 inches around, but tend to wear 40 and 42. Never uncomfortably tight, but snug. I feel that my boobs get more support that way. The straps dig in a little bit, but what can you expect when I'm wearing a bra that is too small. It's not painful at all and the straps are very comfortable. Fully adjustable as well.


 The panties that comes with this set are so lovely and very comfortable. Even if I like my tummy to be completely covered in a high waist style, these panties are really good. I wore them a whole day and they didn't ride down! Lovely satiny material with cotton gusset for added comfort. I'm wearing a size 2X and they fit perfectly. 


I would give this set 4 stars out of 5 as it's comfortable, sturdy, pretty and is going to last me a long time. I have to take one star off for not being bigger in the cup, so please Elomi bring out bigger cups like L, M, N, O and P to accommodate for us girls with extra big boobs please. 

Do you struggle to find bras in your right cup size?

Elomi Takes Care Of My Huge Boobs

For the first time in my entire life I have found a bra that is ALMOST perfect! Say Hello to Rita from Elomi.

Isn't it nice?


When Bras Galore contacted me and asked me if I wanted to review a lingerie set I was so happy cause underwear is expensive and I find it so difficult to find something that fits me right.

My boobs are very heavy and big. They need a lot of support and I like a bra to lift them well up so I get more of a waist. I'm widest on top, so lift is essential to not feel that I'm a ball! Cause some bras I have tried makes my entire upper body just look like one big lump and no sign of a waist. But when I tried this bra on it was different.


 First thing I thought when putting it on was that the cups seemed big enough and that it was so lovely and soft. I chose this bra in 40K and the briefs are a size 22 .The cup size is good, but if I want the centre core to lay against my chest there is a bit of breast tissue that goes over the bra on the side.





This isn't ideal, but for me this is not a big problem as the bra fits so well everywhere else. It's soft and very comfortable as well so I can wear it all day at work without feeling uncomfortable. What I love the most about this bra is that it has a so called J hook at the back which makes it into a raceback bra. And for me that is great as it gives my heavy titties even more lift and support. I can't say how much I like this feature. All bras should have it as it makes it so useful. You can also move this hook up and down so you can fit it to where ever you find it most convenient for your body.




The band is very stretchy which makes it fit me nicely. It twists a bit between my fat rolls, but all other bras does this too. I like the band very tight and since this band is very stretchy it could have been more sturdy. It's not bad, but could be better.The straps are very stretchy which is a bit annoying as they tend to fall off my shoulders when I wear it without the J hook. This can be me not adjusting enough yet, so will try and make them a bit tighter without becoming uncomfortable.  But the bra feels comfortable and secure and under clothes it looks amazing. The cup is built up of four sections and the seems are very flat which makes this bra perfect for use under tops as it won't show much. It's a full cup bra, so it is not a good choice if you need a bra for a low cut top. As an everyday bra this bra is perfect due to its flat seems, sturdy structure and great shape. 





The bra itself is very pretty in my opinion. Lovely deep pink, almost red colour and I love the silky smooth satin. The scalloped detail and the mesh makes it more sexy too. 

I love stretchy briefs and the matching brief to this bra is so lovely. Stretchy, silky smooth like the bra and has two very sexy panels on the side. It gives good coverage and I find the height good so I can pull it up a bit. The brief stays up well and I didn't experience it falling down at all over the whole day I wore them. 

I'm a new Elomi fan now and this bra is a bra I can recommend if you have huge boobs that you struggle to find bras for. It's a very good overall bra. Out of 10 I would give it a 8+.

I'm not an experienced bra reviewer, but I hope that you find it a bit useful as even if we are plus size girls we have different bodies.
