Cons
- Too small, according to some reviews
Kimberly strikes again! And honestly, who’s surprised? SKIMS is known for its ultra-soft, second-skin-like fabric—which makes sense that this bralette by the beloved brand is a 10/10 when it comes to comfort. The removable pads and fully adjustable straps allow you to wear it however makes you feel the best. Buyers have expressed that because of its built-in shaping within the bra, it still contours their breasts even without padding!
THE REVIEWS: “I hated wearing a bra and have not put one on in years because of the pain across my upper abdomen,” wrote one reviewer. “I needed a supportive bra for after the procedure biopsy of my left breast and took a chance on this one. I was able to wear it comfortably for day and night. I love this bra and would recommend it to everyone. The bra held the ice packs just fine and I love that it has removable pads. Thank you for making an amazing product that is so comfortable and beautiful too!”

- According to some reviewers, the stitching is itchy
This bra is made of the softest fabric in CUUP’s collection and is also the brand’s most supportive silhouette. Sounds like an A+ to me! (Ahem, and to over 2,000 reviewers!) The stretchy microfiber ensures prime comfort and nipple coverage. And its lightweight underwire will provide shaping and keep your boobs upright without any poking or digging. Plus its curved and seamless neckline will make it feel like the bra was made for you.
THE REVIEWS: “I have gone through A LOT of bras in my years and this was a well-worth purchase,” wrote one reviewer. “The material is soft and comfortable but still strong enough to hold my G cups. It lifted them better than most. There’s no gapping underneath, which is also normally an issue. And for it not being a minimizer bra, it still made them appear smaller, which I prefer. I am in love.”

Cons
- Fabric of the cups are too thin, per some reviewers
Even with its contoured cups made of a soft foam-lined jersey and elegant lacing, it’ll still be invisible under your shirts. And it’s small and boob-friendly with their smallest size starting at 30B! Customers have raved about how it felt true to width and how light it feels, while still holding their boobs up!
THE REVIEWS: “This was one of the first underwire bras I purchased a year after my reduction surgery. And this is the one I keep ordering more of in different colors!” one reviewer wrote. “To be honest, I don’t need a ton of support anymore, but the doctor’s orders were not to go braless. This is the first bra I’ve owned since I was a teen that I didn’t want to rip off as soon as I got home. I don’t even bother taking it off if I lay down for a nap because it’s so soft.”

- Flimsy, per some reviewers
FYI: Some of the comfiest bras out there don’t cost a fortune! For less than $20 (and with Prime shipping), you can get a bra that’ll feel like you’re, welp, not wearing a bra. I mean, what more could we ask for? The breezy mesh, supple lightly lined foam cups, and sturdy (yet soft) band make for a perfectly snug combination. Oh, and did I mention it has more than 40,000 glowing reviews? Yeah, don’t forget that part!
THE REVIEWS: “It’s lightweight, comfortable, and has a great price! The straps stay in place like no other bra I’ve ever worn. It also has great support. It looks good under clothing and is super comfortable!” one reviewer wrote.

Cons
- Straps are not adjustable
If you’re trying to find a bralette that still has that relaxed fit but with more support than the average, look no further. With no hardware or elastic, this bralette will offer you the utmost support sans underwire. This style in particular also has SPANX’s patented all-hosiery smoothing back so you don’t have to worry about lumps and bumps showing through your clothing. And for my friends who were blessed with more boob real estate, the large, and extra-large sizes have an added fabric layer for a stronger foundation.
THE REVIEWS: “I’m usually anxious to get my bra off by the end of the day. This bra is very comfy,” one reviewer wrote. “The lightly lined cups are just enough for coverage and shaping. The sizing chart is accurate. I’m a 36B and the medium fits perfectly. I love it!”

Cons
- According to some reviewers, the fit is tight
I get it, wires can be a major turn-off on bras, but they’re only there to support our breasts! And when you have this lightly lined T-shirt bra, you won’t even notice it’s there. But you will notice a separation between your boobs, a more contoured shape, and possibly less back pain! That sounds like a win to me IMO.
THE REVIEWS: “I was a little worried because I do like a little push-up and padding but these bras are the most comfortable bras I have worn in a long time,” wrote one reviewer. “I bought three and I rotate them and haven’t gone back to my others. Worth the purchase.!”

- Wire goes a bit too high on the sides, per some reviewers
It’s tough to find a bra that’ll lift and feel comfy while doing so. But this bra was thoughtfully made so that even if you have boobs that hang low, they’ll still get that boost without the awkward fit. Its underwire has a rounder and more open shape than most which allows for ample breathing room for the gals! Plus, its short band with an arched bridge guarantees that it won’t roll or dig into your stomach.
THE REVIEWS: “I’ve never posted a review on a bra before. It’s taken me 41 years to find one as good as this,” one reviewer wrote. “I wear 34DD. I have a full, wide bust. This bra holds me in place so comfortably that I’ll get home after a long day of work and forget to immediately take off. I’m wearing it right now, lounging. But I’d wear it with anything, to do anything. It’s all purpose. I’ve just bought two more.“

Let this pretty lace bra be proof that you don’t have to sacrifice style for comfort when finding a cozy bra. It’s just as stunning as it is supportive! The mid-coverage cups with soft mesh lining offer natural shaping that molds to your breasts. And it even looks smooth under clothing!!
THE REVIEWS: “I have purchased four of these bras. They are hands down the most comfortable bras I have ever worn,” wrote one reviewer. “They are supportive without being binding at all. They are beautiful. They fit me perfectly. This is a wonderful product.“

Cons
- Pricey
Can we all agree that sports bras can be a pain to put on? Thankfully, bras like this gem from Knix with a front zipper closure exist so we don’t have to sprain our arms! Most importantly though, because of its soft fabric, ventilated cups, and high-impact support, it genuinely feels wonderful to wear. It fits like a glove the moment you put it on—and it’ll get better the more you wash it.
THE REVIEWS: “I recently bought a few new bras, and this is the one I liked best,” wrote one reviewer. “It’s comfortable, supportive, and pretty. I bought a size eight which fits me as a 42D. I do like front zips in a sports bra, and the good ones are hard to find. This does not flatten or compress like others I have tried.“

There will be no slipping or sliding with this strapless bra! Because of its all-around support (ahem, its flexible underwire that moves with you, breathable mesh fabric on the sides and back, soft boning on the side for an extra strong foundation, and medium cup coverage), you can put all your trust in it while feeling snug.
THE REVIEWS: “The one thing a strapless bra should do is to stay in place, and that’s exactly what this one does!” one reviewer wrote. “It’s the best strapless bra I’ve ever bought. It’s comfortable, provides support, and stays right where it should be!”

- Edges peel off fast, according to some reviews
For my besties who just refuse to wear a bra (I hear ya!): nipple covers. But not just any nipple covers, the ones specifically from Nippies. Whether you’re dancing the night away in a sheer or strapless look, on a trip to a warm destination, or you just simply want nipple coverage and support without having to wear a bra, these water-resistant bad boys will stay in place and hold your girls up. It’s available in five skin tone hues and its texture is very flat so that they’re as invisible as possible under clothes. I guarantee you’ll forget you even have them on!
THE REVIEWS: “These are amazing. I have very small breasts (AA) and trying to find a bra that fits has always been a struggle. My daughter came across Nippies and thought I might benefit from them. Sure enough, they work perfectly for me, ” wrote one reviewer. “The adhesion is reliable and removes easily, but most importantly they are comfortable. I just couldn’t be happier. I bought a color close to my skin tone, then ordered a darker pair later. A great value for the price and I would recommend this product.“
