I hated underwiring too. If that's the case (the digging in) then it may be that you are wearing the wrong size. 7 in 10 women are, and I was one of them.
Bravissimo is great, and MUCH better than somehere like M&S. An M&S "Expert fitter" told me I was a 40DD, when in fact I was a 36FF. I actually went along to one of Bravissimo's shops to get fitted - they were brilliant, spent over an hour with me making sure that I knoew which manufacturer's built bras that suited my shape (it's not just about size, it's also about style, shape, and design).
Now I know which manufacturers to go for and which to ignore, and I can just buy everything online.
Oh, and to asnwer someone esle's question - your boobs don't tend to shrink when you lose weight. In fact, you'll probably find that as your band size goes down, the cup size goes up. I lost 30 pounds last year, and went from 36FF to 34G (almost 32GG, that will be later this year).

And... you wear bras without underwire?! I haven't done that since I was a B cup; which manufacturer gives you enough support?
Goddess, Just My Size, and before I hit the 'H' cup...Bali. Sports bras do a nice job, too. I was buying JogBra until Champion bought them out and discontinued the line just to keep their own inferior product out.

That was true, once upon a time, but since I have been going to my local lingerie store, I've gotten properly fitted. But the underwires are still a problem due to my physical build.

I'm the one who went from the 44DDD to a 40H last year. Yeah, I lost 4 inches around my ribcage and nothing in the girls. *sigh*
