I was going to say this myself! I don't know if people are fitting themselves or asking the salespeople for help...it really helps to do both, get a professional fitting and ask them to recommend a bra for you.

I did both a couple of years ago, and I wear underwire bras every day. Now granted, after like 18 hours, it's gotta come off for a while, but I wear a G-36. I think that's bigger than anyone here has mentioned, lol, and I have a comfortable underwire minimizer bra that I wear that is awesome. It fits well, doesn't dig into me...I bought a few the first go around, then after wearing them for a while, and realizing how perfect they are, I went back and bought more in different colors in the same style.

I don't think it's possible to wear a bra 24/7 without it becoming uncomfortable, the fabric stretches after like 18 hours and until you wash it, it won't fit the same. But you can find a good bra that won't hurt with the proper fitting and help from the salesperson to find the right type of bra for you. I hate shopping, but when I got bra shopping, I expect to spend a couple of hours getting refitted and trying on many different types to find the right fit. Then I buy one or two different styles, and if it works out at home, I go back and buy more of that style.
