The wires aren't killing me yet and I just got a cheap one at Walmart because the girls are growing like no other. They also had some other options, like that bandeau style that didn't have underwire and looked comfy but it didn't look like there was a lot of support there but was enough to do the job.
I got a couple underwire strapless bras at Target that I like a lot (Self Expressions brand, $10.99) but every once in awhile the underwire does dig in. What's up with that? I never had big boobs before and never had that problem, so I couldn't tell if it was the bra or what. I also got a strapless&wireless bandeau style there (Xhileration, I think it was about $15) that actually supports my boobs (36C) and is fuschia and really cute.
I can still squeeze into my Victoria Secret strapless - it's one of those that adds 2 cup sizes (I was AA before pregnancy, now barely a C). I just put it on the loosest setting and wear it only a couple hours at a time if I have to dress up for something.
"To be able to practice five things everywhere under heaven constitutes perfect virtue...gravity, generosity of soul, sincerity, earnestness, and kindness."
I am far too big chested to go strapless (G). I use the convertible bra and only buy halter tops. It's a little uncomfortable but way better than not having any support.

I tried to wear a strapless that I had and it sooooo did not fit and was digging into my ribs BAD the bad thing was we stayed over night at a friends and thats all I had to wear so as soon as I was on my way home I pretty much threw it off! lol
Had to borrow bras from my sis. Went from 36B to DD now and the strapless she gave me was from Victoria's Secret. Much more comfy than bras with straps. Will soon be getting extenders so I can continue wearing them. I think I maybe going up to 38DD. May have to call my Sis-in-Law soon.
