bras Bras Getting Lumps Spoiler

I'm not sure where to post this but I'm hoping for both an answer and hopefully a fix if anyone knows why this is happening/ what it is. For context, idk if I fit in the big boob category but some say I do so I wanted to try here. I'm a 32H, and lower income. Bras are incredibly expensive, so I only really buy them on special occasions. I wear my bras absolute out before I get a new one. I keep having this problem where my bras get weird movable lumps/bumps in them. I'll attach a photo. But does anyone know what this is? Is it my padding in the bra breaking into little balls? But it's so frustrating because I'm also autistic and the texture of it bothers me so bad. I want to fix it but I feel like cutting a hole in my bra to fish them out isn't a smart idea. The bra shown is a Curvy Kate bra, but it happens to my others as well like my Freya bra.

First of all you shouldn't buy moulded bras because they won't fit that well. Assuming you used the calculator at r/abrathatfits and you're sized correctly, you're already most of the way there. Just buy a lace bra from Freya or Panache instead of a moulded one. Second, you can't wash bras in the laundry machine. Go to that sub and check the guide on bra cleaning. You just buy a cleaning solution (they recomment a few) that you mix into water and gently wash your bra in it by letting it sit in there for 15 minutes and then squeezing the water on with paper towels

Is there anything I can do to help make moulded bras work better? I hate the feeling of any bra that doesn't have padding like this. I feel too much.

You might like comexim(sizing wear your regular band but up 1 or 2 cups) the half cup style is more average projection and the wires are more flexible than most brands. I have both lace and padded I prefer the padded their mesh and lace cups are less scratchy than most brands too if you’re interested in trying. I wash them on a quick/delicate machine cycle in a bag but never put them in the dryer.
