They say breaking up is hard to do — but in my experience, when the breakup is right, it sure is a lot easier. And I’m not just talking about lost love. There are other breakups that need to happen for you to have the positive, stress-free life you deserve. That bra with straps that dig into your back and whose cups don’t quite give you that hand-in-glove fit? It’s safe to say we’ve fallen out of love. Taking the time to find your perfect match is important, whether that’s the love of your life or the snug-fitting bra that makes you feel like a goddess in your own apartment. With the right support, you can take on each day with confidence, knowing you have something great holding you up.

And when you’re looking for comfort (and an upgrade) after the breakup, there’s nowhere better to look than ThirdLove. Inspired by ThirdLove’s focus on prioritizing yourself and your comfort, we spoke with four women who recent broke up with their bras. Check out their stories below.

The beloved bra and underwear brand, which has branched out into some seriously chic loungewear, too, thinks you should never settle for anything less than your perfect fit. With more than 80 sizes that take into account breast size and shape, as well as a 60-day fit guarantee, ThirdLove is where you’ll find the next great love of your boobs’ life. And while you’re moving on, why not treat yourself to all the other stylish things you deserve, from a romantic balconette bra to lounge in while you use a purifying face mask, to a gorgeous marble vase for displaying the flowers you bought yourself because… why not?

The Ultimate Fave Lingerie Set

The Most-Loved Kit

ThirdLove’s Most-Loved Kit features a stunning lace bra that gives you a solid lift, and the ultimate T-shirt bra — with comfy memory foam support and pleated, no-slip straps. Tens of thousands of reviewers don’t lie: You’ll seriously wonder how you lived without these pieces in your drawer (and their matching underwear).

The Transportive Candle

Cedar Stack Magnum

Imagine yourself getting over the breakup in a woodsy cabin retreat with the ultimate cool girl candle, scented with cedar, labdanum, juniper berry, sawdust, and white musk. Once you burn it all the way through, clean out the jar with boiling water then use it as a chic holder for makeup brushes — or pens for writing love letters to your next crush.

The Museum-Worthy Vase

Reign Marble Vase

Buy yourself flowers (you deserve them!) and display them in this marble vase that looks like it was swiped from a museum display case. You deserve to surround yourself with beautiful things that make you feel happy and peaceful. No one’s puncturing this blissful bubble!

The Scrub That Will Make You Want to Shower Twice A Day

Scalp & Body Scrub

Post-breakup, ‘me time’ is mandatory. With its luxurious rose fragrance, OUAI’s scalp and body scrub will make you want to shower multiple times per day just to breathe in its calming notes over and over. (Luckily, its scent lingers on the skin long after you towel off, so you won’t have to!)

The Sporty-Yet-Stylish Combo

Shadow Stripe Set

This modern bra and hipster set is the ideal match for an outfit with a plunging neckline — it provides lift and support but is effectively invisible under clothing. Unless, of course, you don’t want it to be: To really make a statement, try letting the bra peek out from a structured blazer or oversized button-down.

The Stackable, Personalized Ring

Curb Chain Name Ring

Don’t wait for someone else to give you a ring! Spoil yourself with this pretty piece from Melanie Marie, and commemorate the occasion by personalizing it. Engrave your name, initials, or a meaningful mantra. (Have more to say? The ring plays well with others in rose gold and sterling silver, too.)

The Binge-Ready Loungewear

The Mix & Match PJ Kit

Sometimes the greatest indulgence is to delegate your decisions to someone else, including what to wear. With ThirdLove’s Mix & Match PJ Kit, they’ve curated the ideal loungewear pieces (including a knit jogger, knit dolman tee, and a striped woven short with colors inspired by the soothing hues of Sedona). It’s cute enough for the couch, or for meeting your best friends for Saturday morning coffee.

The Parisian Dream Set

The Oo La Lace Set

Indulge in all your boudoir photoshoot dreams (or an empowering selfie session) with this pretty pink lace set, featuring a gorgeous balconette bra and matching scalloped-edge cheeky bottoms. The only thing missing is a silky robe, some oversized curlers, and a balcony looking out at the Eiffel Tower.

The Wear-Anywhere Slipper

Shearling-Lined Felt Slippers

Surround your feet with softness in these shearling-lined felt slippers. They’ll keep you cozy at home, but with a serious sole and a bit of a heel, they’ll carry you onto the sidewalk with laid-back elegance, too.

The Festive Stemless Glasses

Estelle Colored Wine Stemless Glasses (Set of 6)

Estelle Colored Glass

Add some levity back into your life with this multicolor set of stemless wine glasses. Hand-blown by glass artisans, this special set is named after Estelle Colored Glass founder Stephanie Summerson Hall’s grandmother, who she says “instilled in me an appreciation of the pastime of treasure hunting for beautiful finds — especially for the kitchen, which was the heart of her home."
