The 19 Best Bras For Support And Comfort

It’s no wonder why this seamless bra is ranked a best seller in “Everyday Bras” on Amazon. Its wire-free design, soft and stretchy nylon/spandex blend fabric, and wide straps create a design so comfortable “you forget you’re wearing it,” as one reviewer wrote. It also features a hook-and-eye closure in the back and wide side panels for extended support.

One reviewer wrote: “I’ve been searching for a good, supportive wireless bra that actually DID something. This is the one. Keeps everything where it needs to be, WIRELESS, and supportive!!!”

For the support of an underwire without sacrificing comfort, this bra from Vanity Fair is a great option. The nylon/elastane blend fabric provides four-way stretch on the sides and back, while the underwire is designed to not poke or dig into the skin. The cups are also lightly padded for additional comfort and support. Many reviewers love the wide, adjustable straps, which are designed to stay in place, with one reviewer noting, “My straps haven’t fallen down ONCE.” It has a hook-and-eye closure in the back, and there are even wire-free and multipack options in the listing.

One reviewer wrote: “Eureka! Finally... a bra that fits well, is comfortable, looks good, and the straps stay put! I’ve generally been pretty well satisfied with Vanity Fair bras and was actually looking to re-order a different style when I came across this “beauty back“ type. The back styling made it appear that droopy shoulder strap issues may be a thing of the past and it sure is, I've made it through 12hr hospital shifts and back-breaking gardening with never a slipped shoulder strap. Love the better back coverage, too. Couldn’t be happier with my purchase!”

Style: Underwire | Sizes: 34G — 44DDD | Colors and styles: 42 | Material: 78% nylon, 22% spandex | Care Instructions: Machine wash

One reviewer wrote: “I am so excited to report that this bra is true to size and incredibly soft and comfortable. It really does lift, and keeps the girls in place. No bulging, no weird gaps, no digging in, no discomfort at all. I'm so happy I could cry.”

One reviewer wrote: “I absolutely love this sports bra! It’s got just enough support that my back and ribs don’t hurt but not so much that it’s hard to breathe! So comfortable that I forget that I’m wearing it sometimes.”

Made from silky-soft microfiber material that’s designed for support, this wire-free bra is an incredibly comfy option. One reviewer raved, “I am heavier chested (42DD) and detest underwire bras. This is the first wire free bra I've tried that gives me adequate support (and I've tried a fair few).” The pull-on design makes putting it on a breeze, and the bra has triangle cups and thin, removable pads for light lift and contouring. You can choose from standard or full-cup styles, and there are 42 colors available. And if you’d like more versatility, the brand also makes a version with convertible straps.

Editor’s note: “This True & Co bralette is my most worn bra in my closet, and it’s truly so comfortable that you won’t be able to tell you’re wearing it. It also has a longline band and adjustable straps, so you can fit it to your body. I own five of these bralettes, and I am confident I’ll be buying more.” — Amy Biggart, Bustle editor

One reviewer wrote: “One of the most comfortable bras I own. I bought one to try it out and ended up buying two more. They hold up really nicely in the wash, they’re soft and they’re comfortable to be in all day. The bra also offers great support and doesn’t fold up at the cups like so many of my other bras have done so you don’t actually see lines under your tshirt. I highly recommend.”

One reviewer wrote: “It is comfortable enough that I don't feel the need to take it off the second I walk in the door - in fact, I don't really notice that I have it on at all until I get ready for bed. But at the same time it's supportive enough to hold everything in place and look good.”

A comfy, supportive strapless bra? Yes, it does exist.

The underwire has a cushioned band over it to prevent digging, there’s a hook-and-eye closure in the back, and the lightly padded cups add contouring and support.

One reviewer wrote: “This thing is a feat of engineering. Or maybe it's magic? I'm not sure what kind of wizardry is used but I am a 38D post breast feeding mama. My Boobilas have some major.... range of motion... shall we say. They're not committed to being in the same place at the same time. This thing straps them in and is just as secure without the straps as it is with.”

Featuring wide straps and a smooth, longline silhouette, this Calvin Klein bralette is designed to disappear under clothing. It’s made from soft, flexible microfiber for hours of comfort, and it has a lightly lined, seamless construction with removable pads. Choose from dozens of colors, including a range of neutrals and jewel tones.

Editor’s note: “This offers way more support than I ever thought was possible for a bralette — while still being so comfy! I can’t speak to whether it’s supportive enough for larger chests, but for me, it works just as well for lounging as it does for low-to-medium impact workouts. My favorite thing is the wide, seamless straps that don’t poke or pinch at all. I only wish the V-neck was a little deeper so it could work with more tops, but it’s a small sacrifice for being this comfortable.” — Danielle Kraese, Bustle editor

One reviewer wrote: “I’m a 34C and ordered a large instead of my usual medium and got a perfect fit. This bra top is soft, a beautiful color [...] holds up well in cold water machine wash/line dry, and is the perfect amount of support for yoga and spin cycling. Will be back for more.”

One reviewer wrote: “I LOVE these bras! [...] They keep everything in place and the padding gives a little boost. I use them for working out (barre) and for everyday use because I hate regular bras. They do not give me the "uniboob" look at all. No one would be able to tell i was wearing a sports bra rather than traditional. These are more comfortable and way more affordable than traditional bras. I will buy more definitely!

[...] It's such a comfortable fit that I literally forget I have it on sometimes. And I never walk in the door and think to myself, "how quick can I get this beast off of me?" Honestly, for the price, you cannot beat it. Bras are such a personal item and no bra fits everyone, but if you're looking for an inexpensive wire free bra to try, I highly recommend this one.”
