Women: Can you suggest a bandeau type top or bra that does not pull on over your head?

Asked by JLeslie (65790points) August 3rd, 2023

Either has hooks or stretchy so I can pull it on over my hips. Even one of the old fashioned stretchy tube tops. I don’t want it to have a built in bra, I don’t care if it flattens a little, I don’t want it to be tight, but of course I want it to stay in place.

I am a 38D so it can’t be too skimpy.

I might try a strapless bathing suit top, but really looking for the old stretch tops we used to wear in the ‘70’s. I’d prefer black.

Thanks!

I saw lots of different styles of tube tops on Amazon. You might try there.

I would think that the only way to put something on would almost have to be over one’s head because the hips are too wide. (This doesn’t take into consideration something that has fasteners because they wouldn’t apply to the question.)

Um… @kritiper…shoulders tend to be wider than even wide hips.

@JLeslie I sympathize, my issue is shoulders that hurt, so not having to do that would help. Following the Q. I have used things with hooks and/or laces, ties or Velcro.

My Balli from Macys is black w removable straps and removable nipple pads. Plus its a nice airwick silky material which is great in heat and humidity.

@KNOWITALL Do you mean “Bali”? Or is “Balli” a separate brand?

JLeslie's avatar

@kritiper I understand why you might think that, but I have bathing suit tops and one piece bathing suits and they all pull up over my hips. Many tops and sports bras are meant to go over the head though, and my shoulders can’t do it anymore.

@KNOWITALL is it padded or just the nipple cover if you want it?

Bali, my eyes are getting old. :)

It has a padded insert for coverage but a slit on each side if you choose not to wear it. It’s one of my favorites.

I have no idea how much it was but it was worth it for off the shelf. Ha!

I guess there are women with much bigger butts here than where you all are.

@KNOWITALL Thanks! I’m going to look for it. If the style number isn’t rubbed off please let me know what it is.

DF3496. These have no tags, just barely legible so hopefully that gets you there. Good luck!
