The best support bras
Fabric: 79% nylon, 21% spandex | Sizes: XS to 6XL | Colors: 14 | Support features: Wireless lifting band | Type of bra: V-neck
Thousands of shoppers can't get over how comfortable and supportive this popular bra is. A top pick from Kimmay Caldwell, expert bra fitter and founder of HurrayKimmay.com, it's made with no foam, cups, wires or padding, making it so comfortable that many shoppers say they forget they're wearing it.
I can confirm that you barely feel it on. Its durable microfiber fabric gave me the lift and support I needed without sacrificing comfort, and it was honestly the softest material I've ever worn. There is no underwire on the bralette, but it does have a thick underband that provides support and keeps it from riding up. I found this bra to be true to size, though the brand recommends sizing up if you want less of a compressive fit.
Size range: XS to 2XL | Materials: 77% nylon, 23% spandex | Colors: 30 options | Padding level: Removable padding | Cup style: V-neck | Support level: Medium
This buttery-soft wireless bra comes in 30 different styles and made our list of the best bras overall. Made from a blend of elastane and nylon, this pullover bra has a seamless knit band that hugs the body and provides the lift and support you need without a pesky underwire.
It's designed to keep its shape even if you wear it every day, so you don't have to worry about stretching it out — and I can confirm that it delivers. It comes with removable pads if you’d like a little extra shaping; I wore it both ways and thought it looked just as good without them as it did with them. I loved how thick and supportive the straps were and that they stayed in place all day long. And I couldn't get over how soft and smooth the fabric felt.
The bra is definitely full coverage, and if you have a smaller bust like me, it will barely show any cleavage. Keep that in mind if you want more skin to show.
Sizes range: 32A to 42DDD | Materials: 72% nylon, 28% spandex | Colors: 18 options | Padding level: Padded | Cup style: Contour cup | Support level: Medium
For the light, second-skin support you crave, Dora Lau, founder of Dora L International, a global design, development and sourcing company, recommends this Soma option. “It has the softest fabric and no wires to dig and doesn’t slip down,” she said. The contour cups give you a natural shape, while the long thick band offers all-day support — making this a great everyday bra. Along with adjustable straps, the ultrasoft bra also boasts a padded hook-and-eye closure for extra comfort. No wonder over 6,300 shoppers have given the undergarment a perfect five-star review, with many saying it feels like they’re wearing nothing at all.
Size range: 32B to 50G | Materials: 62% nylon, 38% spandex | Colors: 7 options | Padding level: Lined | Cup style: Full cup | Support level: Medium
A top pick of Jené Luciani Sena, bra expert and author of The Bra Book, is this seamless Le Mystere bra. “It’s made from microfiber that’s seamlessly molded over a wireless one-piece foam pad with a built-in comfort frame designed to lift and support without the need for a wire. The flat bonded neckline and underarm edges disappear under clothing while smoothing you all the way around,” she raved. The designers created the hook-and-eye closure with stitch-free technology so you don't have to worry about any irritation, and they ensured the straps are fully adjustable and extra-wide to offer support.
Sizes: XXS to 4XL | Materials: 76% polyamide, 24% spandex | Colors: 12 options | Padding level: Removable cups | Cup style: Triangle | Support level: Medium
Our Commerce Editor, Sarah Weldon, says this Skims bralette is “just as supportive and smoothing as any classic bra I’ve ever worn, but a zillion times more comfortable. The material is so, so soft that it feels like a second skin. Because there are so many color options, I was able to find my perfect nude. I can wear the sheerest white tee and it still won't show!” Since it is a bralette you do have to pull it over your head to put it on, but Weldon says the lack of adjustability in the band doesn’t make the bra lack in the support department. “I feel completely supported — which is unusual for a comfy bralette,” she said. Perhaps best of all, it’s size-inclusive and ranges from XXS to 4XL.
Size range: S to XL | Materials: 92% nylon, 8% spandex | Colors: 2 options | Padding level: Lined | Cup style: T-shirt | Support level: High
Not only is this Felina bra wireless, but it’s also buttery soft and tagless for even more comfort. Sena is a fan because it “has adjustable straps and removable cups for a customized fit, and I love the firm fabric which stays structured and supportive but still comfy.” What’s more, they’re available in packs of two, so you’ll always have a backup while the other is getting cleaned (though you will have to hand-wash them). One happy shopper raved, “These bras are comfortable and soft. I forget I am wearing one during the day.”
Size range: 32B to 40DD | Materials: 80% nylon, 20% spandex | Colors: 2 options | Padding level: Lined | Cup style: Full cup | Support level: High
For a wireless bra that “offers great style to smooth the bulge and creates a sleek silhouette,” Lau suggests checking out this Wacoal option. The crisscross design in the ultrawide band minimizes back and side bulge, giving you a smooth layering base for your clothes. The seamless stretch foam cups provide mid-coverage and a natural shape, and the stretchy straps are fully adjustable to help you find your perfect fit. One customer called it the “best bra” before adding, “I love this bra. It lifts without a wire. It’s comfortable and gives me a nice shape. No seams so it’s very smooth under sweaters and tops that cling. ... Very natural looking and light to wear.”
Size range: S to 4XL | Materials: 91% nylon, 9% spandex | Colors: 4 options | Padding level: Lightly lined | Cup style: Bandeau | Support level: Low
Sena likes this wire-free option because “it has extra band coverage, buttery soft fabric and tons of adjustability. Plus a flattering shape to it so it really gives boobs a boost!” It features an adjustable hook-and-eye closure, extra band coverage for a smooth shape and added support and foam cups for a natural look. Shoppers love how buttery soft the bra is and the fact that it goes up to a size 4XL, which equates to a band size 48 and cup size H/I. One reviewer who bought a 2XL said, “I love these bras, this is the first time I am able to wear them all day with no discomfort.”
Size range: S to XL | Materials: 79% cotton, 15% nylon, 6% spandex | Colors: 2 options | Padding level: Lightly lined | Cup style: Plunge | Support level: Medium
“Even a strapless can be wire-free,” Sena told us. “It’s a one-piece foam pad with an extra-wide bottom band for built-in support and silicone lining so it stays put and doesn’t slide down!” The comfortable bra is not adjustable, so you do have to pull it over your head to wear it, but the cotton-nylon-spandex-blend material is stretchy enough that it won’t be a workout putting it on and taking it off. It comes in both black and white and ranges in size from small to XL.
Size range: S to L | Materials: 92% nylon, 8% spandex | Colors: 6 options | Padding level: Lightly padded | Cup style: T-shirt | Support level: Medium
“While Brabar was originally founded as a training bra company, women of all ages are loving their super-soft comfy bras,” Sena told us. “This one is great for small busts because it provides a nice little lift with the stretchy fabric and removable pads for shaping.” The pull-on bra has feminine lacy details at the shoulder and a cool strappy design down the back. The bra provides full coverage, but you’re still able to wear it under plunging necklines. Not only are shoppers fans of how super-soft and comfortable the bralette is, but they also love all the pretty colors it comes in.
Size range: 34B to 54K | Materials: 82% nylon, 18% spandex | Colors: 14 options | Padding level: Lightly padded | Cup style: T-shirt | Support level: Medium
Lau recommends the Cacique Comfort Bliss wire-free bra “for the ultimate in comfort with very light pads that lift and shape with a covered comfort and padded straps.” Ranging in size from 34B to 54K, this supportive bra comes in eight different styles, including pretty pastels and fun florals that are way more interesting than the typical nude shades busty bras come in. With thick adjustable straps, a wide underband, stretch-fit cups and specially designed side and back smoothing panels, this wireless bra is equal parts comfortable and supportive.
Size range: 34C to 40DDD | Materials: 86% nylon, 14% spandex | Colors: 2 options | Padding level: Lined | Cup style: Contour cup | Support level: Medium
If you’re looking for a wireless bra that “provides back and side smoothing, with support for larger cup sizes,” Melissa Keippel, senior apparel buyer at Zappos, recommends this Wacoal option. The ultrathin band not only supports but also minimizes back and side bulges. The contoured cups offer a natural look and a slight lift to give your bust a boost. “The natural shaping and lift it gives makes me speechless! The wide band really pulls me in on my sides and lifts my breast tissue up, giving me full support. It also has a low enough plunge that I can wear this style with just about everything,” raved one five-star reviewer.
Size range: 2 to 14 | Materials: 79% nylon, 21% Lycra| Colors: 11 options | Padding level: Lightly lined | Cup style: Sport | Support level: Low
“This is by far the most comfortable bra I’ve ever worn and I’ve told all of my friends they need it,” Commerce Manager Julia Webb said. “While it looks like a basic sports bra (and has zero padding), the fabric feels like butter and I occasionally forget that I’m wearing it when it’s on. It’s completely smooth and I find myself wearing it weekly.” It’s completely seamless so it’s nearly invisible under clothes, and it comes in 11 neutral colors so you should be able to find one that matches your skin tone. While it’s not the sexiest option you can wear, Webb loves how supportive and comfortable it is. You can read her full review of the bra here.
Size range: 32A to 40D | Materials: 90% nylon, 10% spandex | Colors: 13 options | Padding level: Lightly lined | Cup style: Bralette | Support level: Medium
Weekend Editor Rachel Roszmann has been wearing this Maidenform bra for over three months and says it is “wildly comfortable.” “There’s no gap up top (great for ladies who aren’t as perky as they used to be) and it feels like a camisole. It also doesn’t force my boobs up too much, which push-bras tend to do — which can make you look like you have a thick neck!” she added. The lace details make it prettier than your average bra, while the longline band offers ample support. It even has mesh details along the sides and back, making it super-breathable to help keep you cool throughout the day.
Size range: XS to XL | Materials: 79% modal, 21% spandex | Colors: 4 options | Padding level: Lightly lined | Cup style: Bralette with molded cups | Support level: Medium
If you’re in the market for an ultrasoft bralette, Keippel suggests this Commando option. “It has easy XS-XL sizing and an ultrasoft fabric,” she said. Made from a luxuriously soft Austrian modal blend that is sustainably sourced and resistant to pilling, the smoothing bra has raw-cut edges for a barely-there look and feel. It comes with molded cups and removable padding and is even machine-washable, unlike most other lingerie options. Customers say it’s even a great problem solver. “I have a pacemaker implanted in my left chest. The strap of my previous bras rubbed and irritated the slight bulging of the pacemaker. This bra’s strap is smooth and flexible enough not to bother the area. The fit and lift are also better than other bralettes I have tried,” wrote one.
Size range: 30A to 40G | Materials: 85% nylon, 15% spandex | Colors: 5 options | Padding level: Lightly padded | Cup style: T-shirt | Support level: Medium
Our deals writer Britt Ross says she rarely wears bras but if she has to put one on, it’s this comfy Uniqlo style. “I never feel it digging in, but it offers ample support and isn’t super-visible under my clothes. The smooth material doesn’t make me itch, either,” she said. Ross loves that it’s supportive without feeling constrictive and that it has built-in pads and adjustable straps. While it’s technically hand-wash only, she says she’s forgotten and tossed it into the washer and dryer with no problems so far.
Size range: S to 2XL | Materials: 70% recycled nylon, 20% virgin nylon, 10% spandex | Colors: 20 options | Padding level: Lined | Cup style: Drop-down cup | Support level: High
A comfortable maternity bra is a must for all breastfeeding moms, and if you’re still looking for your perfect option, thousands of Amazon shoppers recommend this one from Bravado Designs. It features a seamless, wireless design for ample comfort and has drop-down cups to provide easy access for pumping or feeding. This comfy bra also ranges in cup sizes from XS to 1X Plus and comes in a range of pretty colors. Wrote one happy wearer: “I was a little hesitant to pay this much for a bra, but I have tried several less expensive nursing bras that I wasn’t happy with. This is the best bra I’ve tried and well worth the money. I love it! It’s a very comfortable fit and the fabric really does stretch and move with you. ... This is such a great bra that I’ll probably keep using it even when I’m not nursing anymore.”
“An ideal wireless bra must strike a balance between snugness and comfort, ensuring it provides ample support without constricting any specific area,” said Lau. Aside from comfort and support levels, there are a few key factors to consider.
Band: According to Sena, “90% of a bra’s support comes from its band, so pay extra close attention to it while shopping.” Bands that are a minimum of 2 inches wide will offer the most support. A wider band also helps distribute the weight of your breasts more evenly and helps anchor the bra itself to your rib cage, ensuring you don’t have to constantly adjust it.
Fabric: “You’ll want to look for firmer nonstretch options with wider straps. Also, give the straps a gentle tug so you can see how stretchy they are and how fast they will presumably stretch and start to droop with the weight of your boobs,” said Sena. Options with a “power mesh lining” will help provide an extra layer of support in unlined and soft cup bras.
Cups: While you may think wireless bras are all pullover bralettes, there is a wide variety of clasp styles available on the market now too. Sena told us options with clasps “will give you the greatest amount of adjustability, so if it starts to stretch out, you can tighten.” And if you want a wireless bra that provides shaping of the bust, look for an option with foam.
Bra fit: As with any bra, finding your correct size is essential to finding an option that is comfortable and supportive.
To figure out which wireless bras are worth shopping for, we talked to bra experts, designers and our own team of shopping experts and had them weigh in on what to look for when picking the right wireless bra for different needs. In addition to extensive market and product research, where we examined product specs and user reviews to find the most popular styles, we also polled this crew to find out which wireless bras are in their lingerie drawers — because there’s nothing like a recommendation from someone who has bought and used the product themselves.
You may think a lack of wire means a lack of support, but Keippel told us, “There is a lot of technology that now allows for support for all cup sizes in wireless bras. This way all customers can now have the comfort of a wireless bra, but with the support needed to wear it every day.” Many wireless bras offer additional padding and molded cups that offer more coverage and added lift. Others have strong bands and super stretchy fabric which many find much more comfortable.
Luckily, it is easy to figure out your correct size, and you can do this in just a few minutes at home. “First, you will need a tape measure (measuring unit should be inches) to take your rib and bust measurements,” said Noemi Diaz-Justino, senior design director of lingerie brand True & Co. “Holding the tape measure parallel to the floor, wrap it snugly (not tight) around your rib cage. If the measurement is an odd number, add 5 inches. If the measurement is an even number, add 4 inches.
“Next, keeping the tape measure parallel to the floor, wrap the tape measure loosely around the fullest part of your bust. Now subtract the rib measurement (with the added inches) from the bust measurement. The difference will determine your cup size. The guide for cup sizes goes like this: 1 inch = A cup, 2 inches = B cup, 3 inches = C cup, 4 inches = D cup, 5 inches = DD, 6 inches = DDD.”
“It’s a misconception you need a wire, especially if you’re larger-busted. Yes, it provides structure so the cup doesn’t collapse, but it actually doesn’t add much support. Now with advancements in technology and design, wireless bras can be just as supportive as their wired counterparts, Sena told us. Swati Kelkar, chief product officer at Maurices, agreed, telling us the options available to shop now “are body-inclusive with adjustments that suit your individual needs just like a bra with underwire as long as it fits well and offers the support needed for your body shape and lifestyle.”
If you have a larger cup size, you should look for options with a hook-and-eye closure, Lau told us, “enabling adjustments at the back for enhanced support, a feature particularly vital for those who are a D cup or larger.” Broader straps also significantly enhance both comfort and support for individuals with curvy figures who wear a C, D or larger cup size. “And for individuals with curvier figures who lean towards unlined bras, the application of advanced bonding and hot-melt technologies to the fabrics can significantly improve support, marrying comfort with functionality,” she added.
