For those who aren't seeking a ton of support and prefer a plunge shape, this bralette style still features high side while being light and free of wires. A smooth blend of nylon and spandex and seamless stretchy back keeps the bra from showing through your clothes, while the lightly padded cups offer coverage. However, because it doesn't offer tons of support, this is best suited for A and B cups. Machine wash cold in a mesh bag or hand wash, and be sure not to throw this bra in the dryer.

According to a fan: "I was skeptical about these but I don't mind admitting that I was wrong. [...] No movement at all so far in terms of rolling fabric and sits beautifully on the back and shoulders with no cutting or lumpiness. Very probably the best bra I ever bought.”

For plenty of support and a large range of sizes, this front-closure underwire bra features a well-cushioned wire and wide straps impressive comfort. A supportive band also extends through the cups and high up the sides. The biggest drawback might be that it's hand-wash only.

According to a fan: "When I say this is the most comfortable bra I've ever worn.. I'm so serious. I'm a 40DD and usually lace bras are always so itchy and fits odd. This is perfect (to me). First of all, it's sexy, snaps in the front, smoothens my love rolls and my husband LOVES it. And the most important factor of it all...when I get home, taking my bra off is not the first thing on my mind anymore.”
