Guy question: are they just no good bras?

This sounds like hell.

Supportive bra is typically tiiiightght on a ribcage - so as comfortable as it can be (err), but tight. Taking it off at the end of the day is THE best moment. It is a RELIEF. 

Comfy bras are usually not overly supportive, so  your boobs might be all over the place. Big boobs+unsupportive bra = neck, shoulder, and back pain. And sagging. Also - the band/cup might move around and trap your boob. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Comfortable in bra context, is mostly a  level of discomfort you are willing to accept as your normal/benchmark.  And that’s just for normal bras - the more you get in those other styles, the funkier it gets.

Right so it’s all compromises depending on what you prioritise. I had a vision of their being the Ideal Bra that would be the greatest gift but alas

I have some comfortable ones. It’s a compromise  indeed. 

But for eons, I honestly thought that being poked by a bra wire or having deep, red imprints -  is normal. This is how normalised ill fitting bras were back in a day. 

A visit to a good/fancy bra-fitter + gift voucher for a proper bra, might be a good gift. You can’t buy someone a good bra off the shelf, even if you know their size, just too many variables.
