Right now I'm wearing the I-PEX by Victoria secret, and I don't really care for it. Can anyone recommend a really good bra? I'm about a 36C, so i need something that will hold me up and IN:)- I def need padding and I guess a wire bra.

What can I do next?

I didn't like the I-PEX either. And I think I've had a wire for almost all of my bra wearing life. So I was very skeptical, but I tried the VS Very Sexy Infinity Edge wireless push-up, and found it to be amazing. I prefer to think of myself as locked & loaded now. I knew it was the right choice when my sister asked me if I'd had a boob job... and when I told her no, she still didn't believe me, so she asked our mom. I have no idea how it does what it does without a wire, but it works amazingly well for me. Otherwise, I think I could probably tuck my boobs in my jean pockets after nursing twins for a year. Happy bra shopping!

M. ~ During the day, go into one of the 'highend' stores that have bras and ask for assistance. MOST times <not always> you will find the person on staff knows and can find you what you need/want. MY mother worked for over 20+ years and after a bit had a following of folks that would only go to her for 'fittings', questions and such <from bras to mens suits>. Good Luck.

I wear VS Body by Victoria bra for full figure and I love it. I keep trying on tons of other bras at the stores and nothing fits as well as this bra does. It doesn't ride up or jab at me, and it holds up really well.

Don't know where you're located but there is a "Bra lady" on 106th Western. The name of the shop is Sally Ann's Corset. The two older ladies in this shop can look at you and tell your size and give you a bra that fits comfortably.

I was complaining about bras once and was told to go to Schwartz's in Wilmette, on Skokie Blvd. At the very least, go to a good department store like Nordstrom and have the ladies help you there. Good luck!
