Reddit reviews Cleo Women's Maddie Molded Balconnet T-Shirt Bra

I'm kind of in love with this bra.

Hey, we've got almost the exact same measurements! All the same except for lying down, mine is 33.5". Balconette bras work well, particularly this one! The wires are definitely wide enough for me, although ymmv. I hope this helps! This is an older style so it seems to be cheaper, a bit less risky to try out.

I second reusable nipple covers. For bras, the Cleo Maddie is the one bra I have that doesn't have any nipple show through. Most people find that it runs a cup size small.

Real talk. Some people just don't understand nipple problems! US 34H is equivalent to a UK 34FF, so there are several nice lightly padded or moulded-cup styles in your size for <$40.

Parfait Charlotte, Casey and Jeanie styles are also cute, supportive & come in great colors. Here's the Charlotte bra: http://dearscarlett.com/collections/full-cup-bra-panty-sets/products/parfait-charlotte-bra-dusty-rose

If you are willing to pay a bit more, the Panache Porcelain Idina t-shirt bra is my absolute favorite bra, hands-down. The Freya Deco line is also very nice, but is also a bit more money ($60ish) I like the Freya half-cup styles too -- here's one on sale: http://www.herroom.com/freya-aa1513-fan-tastic-underwire-padded-half-cup-bra.shtml

Hope that helps... Good luck :)

EDIT: Forgot to mention that all the bras listed above are in UK sizes!

I wouldn't shy away from balconette/Demi bras because of your size, I hated Demi bras when I shopped at Victoria's Secret because I was always popping out of them - it wasn't the style, it was that the bra was 3-4 cup sizes too small. Also, when a certain style has scaling issues (ie: a bra in 30H that's based off of a design for 30F and just made bigger instead of scaling for more typical 30H proportions) they usually don't start to happen until past GG and you're not quite there yet.

this bra by Chantelle is a balconette bra and it's one of my "every day bras." unfortunately you're sized out of this particular style, but there are similar ones both in and outside of this particular brand.

I really like the Cleo Maddie. even though it's too shallow and wide for me, it's still comfortable and flattering. I would recommend going up one cup size for this bra.

Most ABTF users are hesitant to recommend moulded bras (bras with foam padding, not necessarily push-up but some are) because it's harder to diagnose fit issues in them. I personally like them because I don't mind the fit issues and I think they're a good way to transition from VS bras to wearing the right size. I think that not having back pain, falling straps, and a floating gore is the most important thing, so you may find that your new bras are such a big improvement over your old ones even if the wires are an inch too wide. I'm like you in that I don't want any chance of my nipples showing, but you can find full coverage without foam padding.

I really want to try the Cleo Lily but I'm waiting until the Spring colors come out because Aqua/Pink is ten times cuter/easier to find matching underwear with than the Navy parrot.

Thanks for the pictures, that kinda confirms that you have more of a shallow shape. You need less projection and wider wires than the Andorra offers.

Try this bra or other Freya halfcups (see bratabase).

Tutti Rouge is probably also a good brand for you.
