The 19 most comfortable bras you won’t want to fling off at the end of the day

From the moment I discovered Subset (back when they were called Knickey) and their earth-friendly basic intimates, I was in love. Everything is ethically made from a seriously high-quality organic cotton with an attention to detail that makes me want to overhaul my entire underwear drawer. (Seriously, the low rise bikini is *chef’s kiss*.) They have a few bra styles to choose from but I have to give props to the Keyhole Bralette specifically. The all cotton construction is super supportive without being constricting while the wider straps and four row of hook and eye clasps make it a great option for larger busts as well. The wide band never rolls or digs and the keyhole detail adds a bit of fun to an otherwise ordinary design.

Available in size XS-3XL+

From the cut to the construction, we’re completely obsessed with this versatile style from Boody. The longline silhouette and thin fabric straps provide ample support without being overly constrictive while the low cut back allows you to wear it with some of your saucier low back tops or dresses. It’s made from their sustainable bamboo lyocell which is super soft and great for sensitive skin as well!

Available in size XS-XL

Despite having a pretty extensive bra collection, there’s not a single style I reach for more than this one. It’s perfectly smooth under even the most clingy tees, with underwires that support without poking. And while other similar styles end up feeling squeezy and tight by the end of the day, I can easily wear this one without even thinking about it for a second. The cups hit somewhere between full and demi, which makes it great for lower cut tops without the threat of spillage. Even better? It’s offered in half cup sizes!

Available in band sizes 32-44 and cup sizes A-H (including half cups)

With drops that sell out in seconds and waitlists longer than the Nugget, I wasn’t particularly in a rush to try out Kim Kardashian’s line of intimates. How great can they be? Turns out, PRETTY FANTASTIC. In fact, the second I slipped this bra (and matching thong) on, I texted a friend who had already sung their praises. “Why didn’t I buy this months ago ???” I asked. “Told you so,” was her very valid response. For starters, the fabric is awesome. It’s kind of like tights but thicker. It’s stretchy and smooth and somehow manages to keep shape without any hardware whatsoever. The pull on style is so comfortable you can totally forget you’re wearing it. The brand regularly releases seasonal colors which can sell out pretty fast, but I’ve never had a problem snagging what I want from the core colors. (And while I’m on the topic, the aforementioned thong has quickly become the only thongs I’ll wear. They’re an 11/10, will eventually purchase in every color staple.)

Available in size XXS-4X

Almost as annoying as straps that dig? Straps that slip. We recently discovered this style from Lively and out of the gate, it’s a total keeper. The fabric is super soft and designed to feel snug at first but stretch to the perfect fit over time. Since it’s a bralette, there are no clasps to fiddle with, just pull it on and you’re good to go. What we really love though is the inclusion of removable pads. Personally I’m a fan for nip modesty, but I also appreciate options. They also offer a bit of insurance against the dreaded uniboob that might otherwise manifest.

Available in size XS-L

From the second I held this bra in my hands, I was in love. Once I put it on, I was obsessed. For starters, the 100% sheer mesh construction is light as air, but thanks to innovative slip-proof edging it gently lifts, separates and supports in a way other bralette styles just don’t. The just wide enough straps and lack of any hardware keeps it from digging or poking in any way. It’s like the bra equivalent of a whisper. You know it’s there but maybe you’re just imagining it. Honestly, I never want to take it off.

Available in size XS-XLDD which fits sizes 32A-42DD

I admit that when I first opened my Nuudii I was skeptical. I mean, how can something that’s folded into a mesh pocket the size of a credit card do much to support my average-sized but very much nursed-into-oblivion almost forty-year-old boobs? Well, call it a miracle or just an incredible feat of comfy engineering but I tell you, once you go Nuudii, you’re never going back. While the brand hesitates to call itself a ‘bra” (preferring instead to call it “a revolution for your breasts”) it is, for all intents and purposes bra- like . The innovative design is made from a material that feels like nylons, is completely free of any hardware whatsoever and get this—can be worn in TWELVE different configurations by rearranging the straps. The resulting look is somewhere between wearing a bra and not, embracing your natural boob shape but still offering support. As someone who basically refuses to be upright without a bra on and only recently embraced wireless styles (thanks, four years of nursing babies!) I really didn’t expect to feel comfortable leaving the house in something so flimsy. Turns out I want two of every color to wear on repeat for the rest of my life.

Available in sizes XS-LL with brand-specific sizing you can check out here.

The intersection of pretty and functional, Natori has come highly recommended for decades—which makes it hard to choose a favorite. But if we had to, it’s got to be the best-selling Feathers Bra Basics. The wire-free, lace-trimmed plunge style works for small and larger chests, offering a nice lift without spillage. We also love that it doesn’t mean having to choose between looking sexy and being comfortable.

Available in band sizes 30-38 and cup sizes A-DDD

If you’ve spent more than two minutes on Instagram this year, you’ve definitely stumbled on Cuup–the direct-to-consumer lingerie brand that’s on a mission to “redefine the way women look and feel in their underwear.” Yes please.

Their well-curated line is marked with sexy but simple silhouettes and muted color pallets that are date-night-ready but everyday wearable. Especially the Scoop Bra. It’s made from the softest material in the collection and even though it does have underwire, you totally forget that you’re even wearing it. I mean they call it “yoga pants for your boobs.” SOLD. As a bonus it comes in an impressively wide array of colors.

Available in band sizes 32-38 and cup sizes A-H

It’s not the sexiest thing, but listen: Even Beyonce gets boob sweat. No shame in this game, my friends! Especially not when you’re wearing the Title Nine Cuz She Says So Underwire Sports Bra. Designed to wick moisture while keeping up with your every move, the Cuz She Says So Underwire Sports Bra is made from a smooth and soft nylon spandex and breathable mesh to keep you cool. The seamless construction lays nice and flat and lightly padded cups offer just the right amount of structure. And don’t feel limited by the sports bra definition–whether you’re working it in six inch heels or you know, just hitting the playground, this is one bra you’ll reach for day after day.

Available in sizes 32-42 C-DDD

With over 45K ratings on Amazon, the Bali Comfort Revolution Wirefree Bra, is a bit of a revolution. The wirefree design does an impressive job of offering shape and support—so much so that one Motherly editor has four of these lovelies in her collection. They’re fitted with a standard hook and eye closure and the wider straps are adjustable to get the perfect fit. Super thin foam cups provide just enough coverage without being too thick and the plunge is awesome for v-necks!

Available in band sizes 34-42 and cup sizes B-DDD

Buttery soft and so good you’ll never want to take it off, Harper Wilde The Bliss Bra is aptly named. A proprietary band design coupled with supportive microfiber manages to lift you up without wires or padding and stays comfy around the clock. Its smooth fabric works perfectly under T-shirts!

Spanx’s Breast of Both Worlds bra checks all the boxes and then some. Comfortable? Of course. Supportive? Absolutely. Reversible? THAT TOO. The two-for-one style is free of hooks, wires and seams so you can wear it around the clock if you want to. Functional design offers your boobs a defined shape that’s not at all tube-like. Hallelujah! It also features removable pads for an extra layer of coverage and sizes XL-3X benefit from added stabilizer support to keep bounce at a minimum.

Available in sizes XS-3X

If you’re looking for something that wears like a regular bra with lift and separation but don’t want any of the fussiness, the best-selling Knix Wingwoman Contour Bra has your back (well, your boobs, more accurately.) Molded foam cups give definition but not bulk and extra side coverage saves you from sideboob and spillage. Knix’s signature fabric makes it silky soft with just the right amount of stretch. Because it’s so popular they’re able to offer a near customized fit, with bands ranging from 28-48 and cups that range from A-H.

Available in 99 sizes with bands ranging from 28-48 and cups ranging from A-H

It’s hard to go wrong with Target’s True & Co. line, but with a 4.6 star rating the Adjustable Strap Triangle Bra is top of the heap. The deep v works with a wide range of necklines and the pullover style is free of seams and hooks for a smooth finish that feels great against your skin. The lightly lined cups are removable and give you just enough nip modesty to walk into serious air conditioning without giving it a second thought. 😉

One of Amazon’s top-ranking everyday bras, Warner’s award-winning Easy Does It Wirefree Bra gets tons of love for getting support and comfort just right. A higher cut under the arm coupled with a smoothing design flatters those extra bits that too often get smushed around by ill-fitting bras while soft cups give breasts shape and definition.

Available in sizes XS-3XL

Looking for a style you can literally wear 24/7? One Motherly editor says these are her fave for sleeping and spending allll the time at home. “There are no pads, straps to adjust or clasps—they are just stretchy and comfy and awesome.” And at $10 bucks a pop, you kind of can’t afford NOT to grab one.

Soft, seamless and surprisingly supportive, Soma’s Enbliss Wireless Bralette might convince you to never buy another bra ever. The wide straps mean no digging or discomfort and since it’s silky feeling and free of hardware you can totally sleep in it if you wanted to. And good news! It comes in over a dozen colors so you can put plenty of variety into your rotation.

Available in sizes S-XXXL

By nature, strapless bras aren’t exactly comfortable. Left to work against gravity all alone, a strap around your midsection can be squeezey at best, or at worst, completely useless, escaping to your waist the minute you move around. One that does exactly what it’s supposed to without the digging? Third Love’s 24/7 Classic Strapless Bra. The cups are high enough to control spillage but not too high to wear with lower cut pieces. But the real reason it’s a home run? Half cup sizes!

Available in cups A–I, including half-cups, and bands 32–48
