Wireless engineering has come a long way, so even you busty baddies can slip into something supportive and comfy.
1. A comfy Warner’s wire-free bra that’ll signal-handily solve all your bra-blems with its cloud-level comfort and lightweight design. Even wireless skeptics should consider this surprisingly supportive pick, which absorbs boob sweat like a champ and doesn’t have any awkward seams that show up under thin tops.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Ya’ll…I bought this bra because I desperately needed something that wouldn’t show through thin, white T-shirts and…this is it! Not gonna lie — it’s not a sexy pick, but she is comfy as they come with waaayyyy more support than most wireless styles.
Promising review: “I adore these bras. It is a very comfortable fit, super lightweight, and breathable fabric. The perfect bra for me!” —sarah lee
Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and 18 colors).
2. A padded wire-free push-up bra to make you believe in IRL levitation magic, thanks to an adjustable drawstring that creates va-va-voom cleavage without suffering through a night of underwires poking your ribs.
Promising review: “I have breastfed two kids and have the ✨iconic✨ bottom-heavy boobs. I am a 34D. I bought this in a 36C (sister size), and it fits like it was made for me. My boobs usually look and fit best in a balconette or shelf-style bra, but baby…this bra right here is absolutely stunning. NO gapping at the top, even without tying the ribbon. It is wireless but has a nice, wide band that keeps everything up and where you want it. The material is buttery soft, with no weird seams or itchy straps. 10/10 in my book! It came with an extender, though I don’t need it, but it is a nice touch. If you’re looking for a sign, this is it!” —Kayla Harrison
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in band sizes 32–40, cup sizes A–D, and 10 colors).
3. A comfy Calvin Klein cotton bralette if you’re on the hunt for a comfortable lounge bra that doesn’t feel like one your grandma would pick out. Opt for this iconic pic, and enjoy sweet, sweet comfort — T-shirt optional.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Note that this isn’t a sports bra and doesn’t offer much support for bigger chests! It’s definitely designed for comfort above all else.
Promising review: “This is the most comfortable bralette in the world. FYI, it is also cut to offer minimal coverage. I wear this everywhere. It’s cute if you want to show it off under a flannel or cropped sweatshirt or just a nice piece to wear under tank tops, etc. The material is UNBELIEVABLY soft, and it feels like you aren’t wearing a bra at all. I put this in the wash with all my clothes and let it hang to dry, and I’ve had no problems with shrinking or pilling at all.” —Courtney S
Get it from Amazon for $15.22+ (available in sizes XS–3X and 43 colors).
4. A padded cropped workout tank with a built-in bra so you can ditch painful underwires and hot layers in favor of something lighter, cooler, and oh-so-stylish. Reviewers compare it to a similar Lulu Align top but for a less painful price.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: “I ordered this bra/tank top to compare to the Lululemon Align tank. It is amazing! For reference, I wear a size 8/10 in the Align tank, and I ordered a size medium in this one. The similarities are endless, with the only difference being the material. The material of this tank seems to be more sturdy than the Align tank, so I definitely love that the material will hold up better and likely longer than my Align tanks! If you’re looking for a cheaper option this one is it! I cannot wait to purchase it in more colors :)” —Z
Get it from Amazon for $18.39+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and 29 colors).
5. An ultra-soft Re:Play Scoop bralette because this cool-to-the-touch fabric stretches every which way for an everyday style that moves with you and never restricts you. Add in thick, adjustable straps that don’t dig *and* can transform to handle your trickiest tops. *Swoon*
Parade
Promising review: “I love this bra, and can’t believe I found a wire-free bra that allows me to love my silhouette as much as when wearing an underwire.” —Anonymous
Get it from Parade for $30 (available for cup sizes A–F and in four styles).
6. A smoothing Hanes wire-free bra for prioritizing comfort from every angle. With this wireless wonder, you never have to worry about buldging side-boob, bulky seams, itchy tags, or dreaded boob sweat thanks to the performance moisture-wicking fabric.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: “I haven’t worn another bra since I got this. I’m gonna buy like five more. I am a 34F/G, and I’ve never found any bralette that fits me (always either too big in the band or too small in the cup). I got a Medium, and I’m SHOCKED to report that not only do my girls actually fit inside (the fabric has a lot of stretch), but it actually holds them up pretty well. I hope they never ever discontinue this life changer!” —Lily H
Get it from Amazon for $13.19+ (available in sizes S–3X and in four colors).
7. A bestselling contour bra that comes in 99 sizes, so no matter what unlikely combination of band and cup proportions you’re working with, you’ll be able to get a custom-feeling fit that lifts, separates, and doesn’t feel like a medieval torture device.
Knix
Promising review: “The fit is perfect, and the material is so buttery soft. I bought my second one less than two weeks after purchasing my first one. It’s easy to forget you are even wearing a bra.” —Stephanie B.
Get it from Knix for $65 (available in band sizes 28–48, cup sizes A–H, and in eight colors).
8. An everyday triangle bralette to pack surprising support in a minimalist design that’s made from Earth-friendly bamboo viscose with thoughtful details like double-layered cups and seamless construction.
Boody

As many other boob-havers experienced, COVID-19 radicalized me against all my wired bras at a time when I began trying to shop more intentionally with eco-friendly brands. In my research for less terrible-for-the-planet undergarments that wouldn’t totally bankrupt me, I found Boody! This Triangle Bralette is on my body more days than not. It’s really comfy, holds me in, and has maintained its shape remarkably well for a pull-on style that’s been washed many, many times. I plan to get more when some of my inferior bralettes finally wear out.
Promising review: “Love love lervvv this bra. It is so comfy and breathable in hot yoga, doesn’t cut into the back, and molds to my body. I find this bra more comfortable than Beyond Yoga or Lululemon bras. The material is so soft and buttery. My only complaint is that I want more colors, please!” —Nicole W.
Get it from Boody for $19.95 (available in sizes XS–XL and in nine colors).
9. An affordable Playtex T-shirt bra if you’re #blessed in the boob department and assumed wire-free styles could never provide the support you need. Think again! Alexa, play “Defying Gravity” from Wicked.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: “Trying to go wire-free in bras is often difficult. There is either no support, a uni-boob forms, or they pop out. This bra has all the support a wired one does, comfortable too. Good value.” —celtictigg
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in band sizes 36–46, cup sizes B–DDD, and seven colors).

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: “I have purchased a lot of disappointing bralettes, but this one is really comfortable while still feeling nicely snug and supportive! The coverage works well under most tops and looks smooth even under thin fabrics without leaving any weird bulges. Having the strap adjustment accessible in the front is kind of genius so you can adjust while it’s on.” —Zhc

12. A full-coverage Bali Comfort Revolution bra because this sleeper hit has over 14,000 5-star reviews from happy boob-havers who love the combination of coverage, quality, and support.
Amazon
Promising review: “I got used to no bras during the pandemic and just couldn’t go back to my $70 underwires. I’m a D-cup and can get by with a cheap sports bra under big shirts, but this bra gives me much better shape and support and is every bit as comfortable.” —polka

Promising review: “These right here they are the truth! The best bras ever! They hold my girls up so well as well as they are super comfortable! The straps are adjustable and are easy to connect and disconnect at any time and anywhere! Most definitely worth the money. It comes with all three bras. The support is great. I’m a size 40D, and it includes nipple pads if needed, too. I’m looking forward to purchasing another pack color soon!” —Cory Hodgdon
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and four color varieties).

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising reviews: “Absolutely amazing. I have bought these, like, five times now over the years and never once regretted it for a moment.” —Hannah D.
“These covers are AMAZING! I used them for the first time this weekend during my bachelorette because of how much white I would be wearing, and they were perfect. I usually use petals, but sometimes you can see the shape of the petal, and my nipple still shows, but these covered my boobs perfectly, and you couldn’t see them through a see-through white body suit. They lasted through the night when I forgot to take them off before bed and also lasted through tonsssss of sweaty dancing. I never leave reviews, but I had to spend the word. All my girls on the trip were amazed by them and are all ordering now.” —Amazon Customer

15. And breathable boob tape kit to give your tatas ample lift even when you want to rock a backless dress or plunging top that’s not bra compatible. Review after review marvels at just how strong this tape is, and the kit includes satin petals and silicone pasties for smooth look no matter the temperature.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
It even includes a test patch, so you can make sure the tape doesn’t irritate your skin before wearing it. The tape is designed with a strong hold, so removal will require saturating the tape in oil before slowly and gently peeling it off!
Promising review: “This stuff is amazing. I bought this gorgeous backless wedding dress with a plunging neckline and didn’t think about how to make sure my boobs were covered and secure. The fabric was also pretty sheer. I took the dress to a seamstress who sewed pads in and did an awful job. The pads looked lumpy, and they were too far down; one was an inch lower than the other. In a panic only a week before the wedding, I took to Amazon and landed on this tape. Y’all… This stuff is awesome. I applied it with no practice, literally five minutes before my ceremony. Even with no idea of how to apply or what I was doing, I managed to secure my boobs AND they looked amazing. I’m a D cup and didn’t expect much lift, but there was lift, coverage, and just enough cleavage. It stayed on during 90-degree weather and was easily removed after a quick soak in the bathtub and a little coconut oil. I will definitely use this stuff again. I feel like this tape has opened up new wardrobe possibilities for me. If you’re on the fence, just get it. Saved my wedding.” —MelBee
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.
