- wide straps are tricky to conceal
Moisture-wicking elements? Yes, please. “I love this style because its cooling fabric is one of the most buttery-soft materials I have ever worn that I hardly ever even realize I am wearing a bra,” says Polin. “And on top of that, it’s an inexpensive style, so it can meet almost anyone’s budget!”
Glowing Review: “Absolutely love this bra. Straps are wider than average so might show under some sleeveless tops. No hooks, no wires, silky smooth and slips right on and off. Great color selection. I have replaced all my other bras with this one.”

Introducing a baby-soft bra that feels like a second skin featuring thicker straps to keep the girls in place all day and night. Sign me up. Consider sizing up in this one, especially for a comfier (yet still supportive) fit, since the snug band runs small, per reviews.
Glowing Review: “Best decision I have made. I put off even trying one on for years, thinking it was not a bra I could wear everyday. It’s really comfortable, I forget I have a bra on! I don’t have sore breasts anymore later in the day. A big plus! I wish I would’ve tried it long before–no more hooks for me!”

Cons
- prominent underboob darts and seams
Fun fact: most sleep bras are tier-sized (think: S, M, L, XL, 2X, etc) instead of cup-sized, and “often times, this can be harder to fit if you don’t fit in the size ranges that are available for that style,” Polin explains. “The Parfait Dalis Bralette is a great wire-free option that is cup-sized, and it’s available in a wide size range,” she says, so it’s a great pick for larger busts. “The fabric is a very soft and stretchy microfiber, a wide under band provides support and comfort, and the lace detailing aids with breathability.”

A personal favorite of Polin’s, this option features 4-way stretch microfiber and a back hook-and-eye closure, so it’s v supportive yet comfy. “I love that the cups have inner slings to give the right amount of support for lounging and sleeping in, yet it still gives me enough confidence to wear while I am out running errands,” Polin raves.
Glowing Review: “I am a 42G. Yes, you read that right. This is the bralette that holds up to the standard and holds them up, hah. I am totally comfortable running errands in this, sleeping, cleaning the house.. you get the idea. It keeps them totally contained while keeping them UP. One thing about bralettes and being my cup size is that they never stay in, stay up, stay apart or they move around too much. This one is it for larger cups. So happy to have found this bralette.”

The classic Calvin Klein logo will never go out of style, as this tried-and-true style with over 25K+ ratings and 4.5 stars proves. If you really want to take things to the next level, grab the matching undies too.
Glowing Review: “I am absolutely in love with this bra! I’ve owned the white and pink versions for years, wearing and washing them daily, and they still maintain their brand new look and feel. Recently, I purchased the black one, and I’m absolutely delighted that I did. The only minor difference is that unlike my other two bras, which have all the necessary information conveniently printed on the inside without any tags, this one does have a tag. However, it’s not a big deal at all since you can simply cut it off if it bothers you. What I adore about this bra is that it caters to my super sensitive skin. In the past, I’ve suffered from heat rash when wearing other bras, but thanks to the breathable cotton fabric of this one, I’ve been completely rash-free since I started wearing it. I highly recommend this bra! It’s durable, comfortable, and perfect for those with sensitive skin.”
