20 Weird But Genius Bras That Get Amazing Reviews

Having the right bra means you can get comfortable support and still wear whatever outfit you want — whether it’s plunging, backless, or anything in between — without having to think about what to wear underneath. Of course, the “right bra” can look pretty weird (especially if you’re trying to match it with a tricky outfit), which is why it’s helpful to zero in on bras that get amazing reviews. All of the picks here come approved by real wearers, and they run the gamut from highly supportive sports bras to minimalist nipple covers.

Most bras on the market can feel pretty run-of-the-mill — adjustable straps, underwires, and hook-and-eye closures in back — but even the more standard options on this list have upgraded features, like cups lined in a cooling material that wicks moisture, a U-shaped back that keeps the straps securely on your shoulders, or fabric that’s designed to be soft as a “cloud.” Of course, things get a lot more unique than that. You’ll find solutions to go with the most challenging outfits in your closet (I’m looking at you, backless dress), like stick-on bras that actually stay put and offer support, as well as highly convertible bras that shape-shift into racerback, strapless, halter, and even one-shoulder designs. And if it’s simply pure, unadulterated comfort you’re after, you’ll find plenty of picks for that, too.

Each of these bras comes backed by the honest reviews of buyers, so you’ll get real-world info on just how well they work. So if you’re wondering where to get good bras — keep scrolling (it’s here).

1. A Seamless Bra With A Clear Back Band

If you don’t want your bra to show through a backless dress, this unique bra is a fantastic solution. The clear back strap sits low and is nearly invisible, while the shoulder straps are length-adjustable from the front. The stretchy wire-free bra has minimal seams, a scoop front, and a bit of contouring at the cups for shaping.

Glowing review: “It looked small when I first pulled it out of the package but it stretches well so it gives me full coverage and that extra bit of support I need under a not so supportive leotard. It's also very smooth so you can't see any lines through my leotards in the front and I've been wearing it under snug shirts for the same reason.”

Glowing review: “I bought this bra to use as a strapless bra more than anything else, the other ways to wear are just an added bonus.

Glowing review: “I wear a size 40-42 DD. I have been looking forever for a strapless bra that will hold my boobs up, and be (even remotely) comfortable. I read the reviews on this one last year. I stupidly thought it sounded too good to be true. I was also feeling cheap and decided to try other bras first. I finally purchased this bra, just to test out, and I am shocked at the day long comfort and support. It honestly rivals my day-to-day “regular” strapped bras.”

Glowing review: “I’m a 40 G and the 2XL fit like a glove! I usually have a hard time finding cute bralettes that are also supportive with enough fabric! I literally have another one in my cart to purchase. I wouldn’t wear this for fitness but it’s so cute with dresses, skirts, pants, it’s a supportive fashion piece not athletic wear.”

12. The Seamless Longline Bralette That Also Works As A Sports Bra

• Available colors: 22

13. A Full-Coverage Bra That Prevents Spillover

If you’re trying to prevent spillage, reviewers swear by the Bali One Smooth U underwire bra, which has full-coverage cups and soft inner slings, making it one of the best bras for lift and side support.

Glowing review: “Price is great and after wearing it for a full day I have to agree that it’s very comfortable. It felt substantial and like it provided good support but didn’t give me the feeling that I couldn’t wait to take it off. I got the same size that I normally get in bras and it fit perfectly. No spilling over the top, no push-up, just a good solid bra.”

14. This Strapless & Backless Bra That Won't Slip Down

It can be a challenge to find support if you’re planning to wear a backless or strapless dress, but according to reviewers, this adhesive bra actually sticks to your body and stays there. Made from skin-friendly silicone, it features a hook closure in front for a secure fit and a micro-edge design that make it seamless under clothing. It’s available in a wide range of cup sizes and four colors: cocoa, cream, khaki, and pink. Just keep in mind that the manufacturer recommends avoiding exercise and high temperatures, as sweat can reduce the stickiness, but multiple reviewers have noted they didn’t have any problems in hot, humid weather.

Glowing review: “I was a tad skeptical about whether these would do the job during a humid outdoor wedding. I had a backless dress and couldn't wear a traditional bra because of the dip in the back of the dress. These were amazing! I've worn them 2x - to weddings - danced the night away and totally forgot I had them on. There is no tugging or worrying about whether they will stick it out through the night during activity! I highly recommend these.”

Last but not least, the pads are removable, so you can dictate how much coverage you get.

17. A 2-Pack Of Drawstring Sticky Bras For Drawing The Breasts Together

Reviewers are saying this sticky bra does not budge when you have it on, and it gives you a comfortable, natural-looking shape.

Glowing review: “I was really excited to try this product out and It truly is a great buy!! The adhesive backing stays in place through movement and doesn’t peel or slide around.

This bodysuit is made with stretchy and breathable lace, and has a built-in underwire bra with softly lined cups and adjustable straps.

Glowing review: “I received the Bali Shapewear Lace'N Smooth Body suit today and couldn't be more pleased. The lace feature allows your body to breathe while wearing it and yet still being modest. I wanted a one piece garment to wear under clingy fabric dresses and this is great.”

20. A 2-Pack Of Nipple Covers With Lifting Tabs

These sticky nipple covers adhere to your breasts to offer low-key, nearly invisible coverage — perfect for backless or strapless outfits.
