We know how quickly bras can start to feel uncomfortable. The first mistake some people make, though? Buying the wrong size. If it’s too big, it can move around too much, but if it’s too small, it can feel super restricting. Step one in finding a comfortable bra is to get fitted and shop your proper size. The next step? Checking out the design and material. Look for one with wide straps in a breathable fabric.
If you’re shopping online, the customer review section always proves to be super helpful—and that’s exactly what we turned to in our search for the most comfortable bras ever. We scoured the ratings, read people’s opinions, and analyzed many styles to find 15 bras you won’t hate wearing. From one five-star option to another that boasts a natural feel, these are the bras people can’t stop raving about. See and shop them below.
“I was super curious about the Skims line so I wanted to try the bra since I’m always open to trying new bras. When I took out the bra from the box, it was TINY. I got the L/XL; it was the tiniest little bra I have ever seen. It was laughable, to be honest. I immediately thought it was a big no but then I sucked it up and tried it on because this bra did cost money. When I tried it on, it felt so comfy! I’m a 36D and around 180 pounds. It fits so well on me, keeps my girls in place, and will stay comfortable throughout the day! Please don’t be fooled by how it looks when first getting it! Just try it on to truly see how it fits you!”—Nordstrom reviewer
“I want to wear this bra every day of my life. It’s extremely comfortable and versatile. I love the fact that it’s reversible! I wanted a good compromise between a sports bra and an underwire and this is it! I have a small band size (32) and large cup size (DDD) and usually struggle to find bras like this that fit. I highly, highly recommend it!”— Nordstrom reviewer
“It’s perfect and comfortable. It’s an all-day bra for sure. I do not wear underwire bras and have not purchased a decent support bra since the Victoria’s Secret Ipex, which was ages ago. So happy to have discovered this Wacoal. I will be buying more.”— Nordstrom reviewer
“I love this product. It doesn’t give quite the silhouette of a regular underwire bra, but it’s much more—you can even sleep in this! It definitely looks better than a sports bra. On those days where I still want to look put together but I want to be comfy this is it. And I’m often still wearing it the next day. Fits a range of cup sizes, I think. I’d go more by the band measurement. On Shapermint’s website, I size as an L to XL as I wear a 34G or 36DDD depending on the brand. The medium bra’s band definitely fit better than the others and the cups fit fine. Thumbs up.”— Nordstrom reviewer
“It’s literally the most comfortable bralette ever. It feels like I’m not wearing anything! I’m a size 38C but I sized up and got the XL—fits perfectly!!”— Nordstrom reviewer
“I have been searching for a wireless bra for years that is good for bigger boobs and this one is by far the best! It fits perfectly and gives amazing support! I ordered the 36DDD and it was true to size. With a bigger chest, wireless bras usually aren’t flattering at all or supportive, but the way this one is molded makes everything look and feel really nice. It’s very comfortable as well. Ordering several more!”— Nordstrom reviewer
When it comes to finding a comfortable underwire bra, it’s so helpful to read people’s reviews. Some underwires can hurt, while others are comfortable. As for the material? The more lightweight, the better.
“This has become my everyday bra. I have it in a variety of colors and have it on unless I’m wearing a sports bra. I’ve had a very difficult time finding a bra that fits me well. It’s always been a challenge to find a cup that gives me the coverage I need. I’m also a bit asymmetrical and find that this bra works very well for me.” — Nordstrom reviewer
“Elomi’s Cate is my very favorite bra, and the colors are fantastic. I’m large-breasted and have had problems with straps slipping off my shoulders for years until these.” — Nordstrom reviewer
“This is the most flattering and comfortable underwire bra I’ve ever worn. I like all the colors but usually default to ‘cafe,’ as it blends with my skin color and goes with, and under, everything. I find it runs true to size.” — Nordstrom reviewer
“I have worn this Wacoal front-closure underwire bra exclusively for years. It is nearly impossible to find front-closure bras anymore. I don’t understand why manufacturers have nearly eliminated this option for women. I have a frozen shoulder and cannot swing my arm behind my back to secure back closures. The front-closure bra just makes putting my bra on easier. The racerback means the straps do not fall off my sloping shoulders so I feel secure. I like the separation and lift of this bra and, although no underwire bra is completely comfortable, this one comes very close!”— Nordstrom reviewer
“I have been looking for the perfect underwire bra and I have found the one. This is extremely comfortable and great quality, well worth the price. I’ve never felt more comfortable in a bra that is flattering as well.” — Nordstrom reviewer
“The detailing couldn’t be surpassed with the lace overlay and double straps. The soft and light barely rose color is exquisite. It is a perfect fit and amazingly comfortable I hardly know I’m wearing it. I’m delighted with my choice and will certainly choose Wacoal in the future.” — Nordstrom reviewer
A good sports bra is a workout must-have. When searching for perfect one, make sure to find a style that’s made out of breathable, moisture-wicking material and offers support and coverage.
“By far the best sports bra I’ve ever had. Perfect fit. If you’re on the bustier end of the spectrum, you will not regret getting it. It took me years to find a bra that allowed me to work out and not feel self-conscious about my breasts. Amazing support. Elomi and/or Nordstrom, can you please create an equally supportive strapless bra? I’d be in heaven!” — Nordstrom reviewer
“I chose my normal size medium and it fits perfectly. It’s very comfortable and soft. Can’t wait to work out in it. I chose the black one and I have no complaints. Great bra Nike!!”— Nordstrom reviewer
“I love this material ever since I purchased the matching leggings a few months ago. I am a 32D and tried on a medium in this bra which fit perfectly. This bra is good for yoga, barre, and pilates classes. I wear this bra every day I can whether it’s for work, the gym, going out, or lounging at home. I highly recommend it.”— Nordstrom reviewer
“I wear a DD bra, so I ordered the large in this Zella bra. This bra is extremely comfortable and looks nice! I forget I am wearing a bra when I am wearing this one. It is soft and gives enough support for everyday wear. For me, it gives light/average support. The nice thing is that I don’t spend time tugging at it. It fits very nicely.”— Nordstrom reviewer
“I love this brand and this product! Incredibly comfortable and stays fit my body while working out.” — Nordstrom reviewer
“This sports bra/top is so soft and flattering. It is on the lower support size however it is extremely comfortable for whatever active hobby you have in mind. If you’re in between sizes, size down because the fabric is stretchy and forgiving!” — Nordstrom reviewer
“It’s a really good bra, period(t). Whether for working out or just every day. I loved it so much that I ordered another one. It does fit a little tight, but I don’t mind it because I like for my boobs to stay in their assigned seats.”— Nordstrom reviewer
T-shirt bras are another must-have in your lingerie collection. They’re usually seamless and have a no-show design that’s perfect to wear with a more fitted shirt. Again, you want something lightweight, full-coverage, and designed with thick straps to ensure comfort all day long.
“Very comfortable, light weight, great coverage bra. Fits true to size. This is the bra you want to wear every day, all day.”— Nordstrom reviewer
“Just what I’ve been looking for! Thin straps are like a cami but are supportive and strong. Thinner lining that’s not bulky but does cover.” — Nordstrom reviewer
“This is my everyday go-to bra. So comfortable with great support—and it’s super cute! I recommend these to everyone I know, especially anyone with a larger chest. The straps are a bit wider but are soft and don’t dig, which is a must.” — Nordstrom reviewer
“Super light and comfy! Wore it all day at work and when working from home too and hardly noticed I had it on. Slight digging but that’s expected since it’s not a bralette and I wore it all day. Takes up no space in my drawer which is nice too!” — Nordstrom reviewer
“This is a great basic bra for everyday wear! It is comfortable and won’t show under shirts.” — Nordstrom reviewer
“This bra makes your clothes look great. Great support and comfort. Love this bra.” — Nordstrom reviewer
“My favorite bra of all time! I own this bra in nude and black and wear them every day. Super simple, comfortable, T-shirt bra that’s also cut well to wear with my lower-cut going-out tops. Great support, comfortable straps, and zero problems with the cups wearing over time.” — Nordstrom reviewer
