When you look at your underwear drawer, do you feel, well, sad? Let’s change that — pronto. Your bras and panties should “spark joy” just like anything else in your life. And despite what the naysayers claim, you definitely don’t need to spend a pretty penny to get expensive-looking lingerie or quality essentials. In fact, it’s quite the opposite — especially when you roll up your sleeves and do an Amazon deep-dive.

If scrolling through hundreds of undergarments (or possibly thousands, depending on how deep you go) doesn’t necessarily seem exciting or doable for you, then guess what? That’s literally why I exist — to do the heavy lifting.

In this case, I found some of the best (and even weirdly amazing) bras and underwear that the virtual megastore has to offer. How can you be sure that they’re all comfortable, high-quality, and effortlessly wearable? The products that made the final cut are backed up by enthusiastic shoppers of all shapes and sizes — just like you.

So, whether you’re aiming for a fierce lingerie set to impress your partner or a casual lounge bra that’s supportive yet breathable, I’ve got you covered in every which way imaginable. Form meets functional: Here are 30 unexpected favorites.

1This Silicone Bra (& Complimentary Petals) For Tricky Backless Numbers

This strapless adhesive bra will save your going-out looks. Just clip the front together and experience invisible support all evening long. You’ll personally be awed by how sticky it is (with no spillage in sight) but it was designed for a painless removal — just expect a little redness. “Best sticky bra I’ve owned,” one shopper swore. “It sticks so well and is completely invisible, even under the clingiest shirts I own.” When you're ready to clean it, add warm water, mild detergent, and then let it air-dry to be worn over and over. Complimentary petals come with every purchase.

2These Steamy Crotchless Briefs With A Bum-Baring Cut-Out

Ok, sure, these Verano briefs are a little misleading: From the front, they’re a minimalist silky brief with two little bow knots. But just wait — you’ll stop your significant other in their tracks once they see the lacy open-back design. If you’re particularly sensitive, however, take note: They’re crotchless! But you’d be surprised by how wearable they are, like this shopper: “First of all, they’re comfortable. Lace isn’t always comfy to me, and I figured that the fact that they do have a hole *down there* would make them a bit uncomfortable… But nope! I wore them for a roadtrip and forgot I was wearing them,” they confessed. “Second of all, the fabric is really nice...Third of all, I felt really good about myself in them.”

3A Front-Hook Bra That Offers Wireless Support

The #1 selling point for this wire-free bra? Cushioned straps that offer extra comfort and support — and for under $10. The front hook-and-eye closure adds serious convenience, while wire-free seamed cups enhance your natural shape. Reviewers note that the bra’s smoothing effect make it ideal for wearing with tighter shirts. Plus, the satin finish adds a little shimmer. “It has an amazing amount of support for a non-underwire bra. The shoulder straps might be the best feature - they are cushioned and provide a lot of support, which I think is lacking with so many other bra straps,” one shopper remarked.

  • Available sizes: 38D — 54DD
  • Available colors: 3

4A Standout Sports Bra That Looks So Expensive

This RUNNING GIRL bralette looks like something you’d see in a ‘90s Helmut Lang ad. Made from four-way stretch nylon with a breathable mesh lining, the longline fit has a cut-out, one-shoulder neckline that adds graphic visual interest and a surprising amount of support. You’ll love how it feels like second skin, and you can literally wear it with everything from leggings at the gym to an oversized blazer for a night out — anytime and anywhere. “Obsessed. Will be using it as a day to day top for my trip to Costa Rica. Also for working out and as a swim top with my tanga bikini bottoms. Versatile!” One shopper pointed out.

  • Available sizes: Small — XX-Large
  • Available colors: 26

5A High-Impact Sports Bra That’s Easy To Slip On

Whether you are nursing, recovering from surgery of any kind, or have a larger chest to secure, this Cordaw sports bra is The One. Not only do you not have to wrestle yourself into (or out of) your sweaty bra after a grueling workout, but this little number can also truly handle high-impact exercise of any kind. The strappy back offers stability and relieves shoulder pressure while the zippered front and two internal hooks keep you secured like magic. “This one absolutely knocks it out of the park,” one shopper wrote, citing the “great, thick quality construction” and support that was “medium to high, as expected without any restriction of movement or uncomfortable seam issues” and that “the straps are perfect width for comfort without sacrificing style.”

  • Available sizes: Small — 5X
  • Available colors: 19

6A Cutaway Plunge Bra Built To Handle Daring Necklines

This weird-looking bra truly works wonders for plunging necklines thanks to the deeply cutaway shape and push-up capabilities. Even better? It’s convertible, and it can be worn six different ways, including options for open backs, racerback, and halter tops. “I went to multiple department stores and specialty shops and all the options for u-plunge were really lacking. You basically had a choice between adhesive bras or something really flimsy that offered no support. This is by far the best option,” one customer confirmed. It’s worth noting other shoppers recommended sizing up, especially if you were between sizes.

  • Available sizes: 32A — 42D
  • Available colors: 9

7Cooling Panties That Keep Sweat At Bay — Even In Sweltering Temps

Want seriously sweat-busting bottoms for your underwear drawer? These Fruit of the Loom bikini-cut panties have a waistband, leg bands, and striped side panels all designed to keep you cool. “Oh my God! You know how when you're super sweaty, your underwear gets sweaty, especially along the sides? Maybe you don't, but I do. The stripey sheer part totally solves it,” one shopper confirmed. Another key detail? The cotton liner — an absolute must in scorching weather.

  • Available sizes: 5 — 9
  • Available colors: 2

8A Bra That’s Actually Comfortable Enough To Wear All Day

This wireless bra is not only comfortable enough for all-day wear, it’s also designed to keep you cool as you move around. With no bulky seams, this undergarment is ideal for a lazy weekend at home or for putting on when you get home from work. “I am 60+ years old and this is the 1st I've ever had that I could wear all day and not have to remove immediately once home. The straps are comfortably wide but not too much,” one shopper raved. Made with flexible nylon and spandex that moves with you, the knit-in zones deliver targeted support, as do the wider straps and U-shaped back.

  • Available sizes: Small — 3X-Large
  • Available colors: 19

9The Sexiest V-Cut Panties With A Corset-Inspired Back

I loved them,” one shopper gushed.

10The Cheekiest Heart Cut-Out Lace Boyshorts

These cheeky boyshorts are constructed entirely of soft lace from the front but the surprise peek-a-boo back is, of course, what makes it extra special. Peek through the reviews and you’ll see raves left and right, like how they “fit wonderful,” and are “very seductive when on,” not to mention “cute and sassy” with “good construction.”

Two of the seven sets offered come in cotton and the remaining ones, including this set, are a nylon blend. This combo has six pairs for $17 (that's under $3 each, by the way) but don't expect subpar panties. “I was skeptical but these are astoundingly high quality, especially for the price. The string is strong and sewn on very well," one customer confirmed.

  • Available sizes: X-Small — X-Large
  • Available colors: 7

12Seamless Mesh Panties That Are Ultra-Breathable And Virtually Invisible

Visible panty lines, be gone! These widely beloved seamless panties have got you covered. Cut from a silky-smooth blend of nylon and spandex, these are a low-rise bikini silhouette that's perforated for some much-appreciated airflow and even has a cotton-lined crotch for guaranteed freshness throughout the day. “They're comfortable, breathable and they don't give you a massive wedgie by simply just bending over like some seamless underwear do,” one shopper wrote. Choose between fun print-packed sets or basic neutrals.

13A Cult-Favorite Cotton Bra With The Prettiest Natural Shape

One shopper confirmed it all, writing, “this bra is the best of BOTH worlds,” noting that “it has the comfort of soft cotton without wires, but offers 7 traditional hook & eye catches in the front for ultra support and shaping.” On top of that, many shoppers commented that it was a suitable option for post-operative recovery because it was so easy to get on with minimal effort.
