Tired of rocking the same old bras and underwear every day? You’re not alone! But lingerie shopping is rarely a priority when payday comes and you’re in the mood to buy something new — that’s why it’s crucial to stock up when you find cute, affordable underwear. Not to mention, it’s a serious confidence booster when your underwear fits you to a tee.

I rounded up some low-key hot pieces — all for under $30 on Amazon. Expect plenty of comfortable, breathable fabrics, like bamboo and cotton, along with the most wearable styles for every preference. Keep scrolling to find 30 bras and underwear that’ll become daily staples in your life.

1These Cotton Undies With Strappy Sides

This cute cotton underwear is a dream for anyone who wants a subtly sensual look while lounging around. The set gets its appeal thanks to a cotton-blend construction and cut-out hips — just note that these aren’t seamless panties, so they might show through leggings or ultra-thin bottoms. They’re also designed not to ride up. “Adorable, well-made and true to size--no cutting into hips and no riding up,” one shopper wrote. They’re just the thing to wear with an oversized tee.

  • Available sizes: 5 — 10

2A Convertible Lace Bralette That Works With Every Top You Own

Despite being wireless, this gorgeous convertible bralette displays plenty of support. You can wear it traditionally, crossed into a racerback, or even as a halter-top bra. It has a longline silhouette with lace cups along with mesh fabric on the sides and back. "It fits like a dream," one fan praised. "Was worried it would be itchy because of the lace, but this might be the most comfortable bra I've ever had."

3An Ultra-Breathable Seamless Thong You’ll Forget About Completely

Fabricated from an elastic nylon blend with a bonded layer of natural cotton through the crotch, these seamless thongs are a low-profile godsend to your underwear drawer. Not only are they invisible under leggings, but they also have a barely-there feel and are totally breathable. The mesh is super-soft, and reviewers echoed they were well-cut and true to size. More than 30,000 fans left enthusiastic ratings: “I only plan on buying these for the rest of my life,” one shopper swore. “Buying more of these and throwing everything else away,” another fan gushed.

Another wrote that, “I’m literally in shock right now. Been wearing the bras for the last three days and I’m SO unbelievably comfortable!” Besides that, there's removable padding and delicate double straps that are tailored to stay in place. They’ll even look cute peeking out of a T-shirt.

5Low-Rise Lace Undies That Look So Hot — Without Veering Into Thong Territory

Lightweight, soft, and stretchable, these low-rise panties are cut from quality scalloped lace that isn’t itchy on the skin. Due to their totally sheer rear view, “you get to feel a little [sensual] without a thong (personally hate those wedgie imitators) and at the same time you get nice coverage for your girl downstairs,” as one shopper noted — and, yes, they have a cotton crotch for comfort.

  • Available sizes: X-Small — 3X-Large

6A Plunging Lace Bralette That’s “Better Than The Original,” According To Fans

With delicate scalloped cups, a smocked back, and breathable cotton lining, this lace plunge bralette is peak warm-weather style.

This bra rivals pricier styles in both comfort and construction, per its raving fans. “I was planning to purchase the more expensive (FP) version of this bra but am so glad I decided to give this one a try first! I didn’t expect it to fit as well as it does... but it’s fabulous, and fits like a glove," one shopper praised. Try it out with baggy denim for a free-spirited look.

Not to mention, a mesh lining aids ventilation to prevent overheating during a workout. “I own the (original) Lululemon one as well ($45 and discontinued I believe),” a shopper wrote. “I actually like THIS one a lot better. It's a bit stiffer, thicker, and more supportive.”

11Impossibly Soft Bamboo Undies More Breathable Than Cotton

It is soft and breathable when exercising as the style has the little ‘vent’ on the bottom middle front," one satisfied customer noted. Sounds like undergarment perfection, right?

  • Available colors: 1 (red and black pack)

18A Gossamer Lace Bra With Tons Of Support

  • Available sizes: Small — 3X-Large

19These Adjustable G-Strings Made From Ribbed Cotton

Achieving the right fit for thongs is tricky — the straps are often too tight or sit where you don’t want them to. That’s why these adjustable G-string thongs are so brilliant. With adjustable straps, you can make them fit exactly how you want them. Even better, they’re made with 95% ribbed cotton and 5% spandex for ultimate comfort.

20Camisole Bralettes For On — And Off — The Yoga Mat

At first glance, these cute bralettes look like cropped camisoles you might layer under a sweater (which isn't a bad idea, either). You can wear them whether you’re hanging out or working out, as they're equal parts comfortable and supportive. The wide bottom band and strappy back will hold you in place securely, while removable pads give you the option for more (or less) shaping. “These are great longline bras for the gym. The material wicks sweat. Great for low impact weight training, walking, yoga,” one shopper confirmed.

  • Available colors: 14

21Enough Thongs For A Week That “Fit Better Than Victoria’s Secret”

Scroll through the reviews and you’ll see “cozy and covered everything that needs to be covered,” plus claims that "they fit better than Victoria’s Secret." Even better? You get seven pairs in one pack, so they can be your new weekly go-to moving forward.

23A Stunning Minimizer Bra You’ll Look Forward To Wearing

This minimizer bra is worth considering, as it literally stops unwanted protrusion in its tracks.

  • Available colors: 23

24This Fan-Favorite Cotton Thong By An Iconic American Loungewear Brand

This Calvin Klein thong has a glowing 4.7 stars, which is nearly perfect by Amazon standards. Here's why it's so great: The mix of cotton, modal, and elastane is highly adaptable, airy, and soft — a winning recipe for any underwear, to be honest. If you're a CK fan, you're familiar with the legendary logo waistband that keeps the bottoms in place no matter what. "Ever since I bought them I don’t touch my Victoria’s Secret or other labels. These are just so breathable and comfortable. I am officially converted," one fan confessed.

  • Available sizes: X-Small — X-Large Plus
  • Available colors: 36

25This Matching Calvin Klein Triangle Bralette To Make It A Set

Love the classic CK thong? I thought so — that’s why I tracked down the brand’s triangle bralette to match. It has many of the same winning features, from a similar fabrication to that graphic elastic band. It can even be adjusted via those spaghetti straps. To put it simply, this baby is pretty much an essential for lounging or layering — just imagine it as a top underneath a blazer or chunky cardigan. “The bra fits perfectly, it has adjustable straps which makes the fit even more custom, and it’s so lightweight and comfortable you barely know you have it on. I will be purchasing in several other colors,” a fan remarked.

  • Available sizes: X-Small — X-Large
  • Available colors: 10

26This Edgy Brief With Dramatic Straps

What makes this luxe strappy brief unique? The smooth nylon has a subtle sheen to it that resembles a satin finish. On top of that, elastic double straps hug your waist for a high-impact look. Notice how these cutouts sides balance out the full coverage shape on the booty: “A great, comfortable fit,” one shopper affirmed.

  • Available sizes: Medium — 4X-Large
  • Available colors: 3

27A Push-Up Bra With Corset Lacing

Not only does this seamless push-up bra have a racy lace-up satin front, but it also gives you "amazing cleavage and bounce" according to one shopper. That’s not the only use for it, though. The adjustable distance between the cups gives you extra leeway in terms of fit, just note that there’s enough padding hidden inside to add an extra size or two.

  • Available sizes: 32A — 40C
  • Available colors: 8

28Invisible Lace Panties With A Low-Cut Leg

You might think all-over lace panties are for special occasions only — until now.

"The lace does not itch and that was a great surprise. I feel pretty putting these on under work clothes and everyday wear," one fan remarked.

  • Available sizes: Small — 5X-Large Plus
  • Available colors: 18

29A Lacy Bralette That’s Unpadded & Unlined For Comfort

This unlined lace bralette is the next-best thing to not wearing a bra. It has a relaxed feel due to the pull-on fit and wireless build — because there's no hook and eye, this longline style gives you that second skin feel without any hardware digging into your skin. A plunging neckline and racerback straps add structure to this otherwise lightweight bralette. “Needed something lightweight to cover my cleavage when I wear low cut tops or maxi dresses,” one reviewer wrote. “These work great.”

  • Available sizes: X-Small — XX-Large
  • Available colors: 12

When simple cotton briefs have been given 10,000 five-star ratings (with an average of 4.6 stars, no less) you know they’re tried and true — and worth your precious pennies, too. With a high-waist, full coverage fit that sits right at your belly button, these dependable undies are made from 95% cotton and are designed to not bunch thanks to a double-layer waistband. “Does not dig into my waist like cheaper cotton panties do.
