If you have larger breasts and are looking for full support and comfort, you’ll likely love this wireless bra by Uniqlo. Reviewers with larger busts have commented that it provides support — while also feeling barely there.
The seamless, flat edging at the neckline, armholes and under-bust band help the bra to lay smoothly under clothing. Plus, the plunging neckline helps it to fit seamlessly under various cuts of shirts. It also has power netting and bonding from cups to the shoulders for full support and to keep the girls tucked in.
The cups are also removable if you decide you want to go without — or wash them separately. The nylon and spandex provide stretch and breathability, making this one of the most comfortable women’s bras.

With the Spanx Breast of Both Worlds Reversible Comfort Bra, you get two bras in one. Well, not technically, but it is reversible with a different color on each side. So, you can choose the shade that best suits your mood. Featuring zero hooks, wires or seams, this bra is designed to provide ultimate comfort. It also offers great support — and comes with removable pads for even more lift and coverage. And larger sizes come with an added stabilizer to reduce bounce.
The ribbed under-bust also keeps the band from rolling up, so you can wear this bra for just about any activity — whether it be working out or lounging around the house.
Tips for finding the right bra for you
Finding the right bra for everyday use can require some trial and error. To help you get started, these are a few tips to help you find your perfect style and fit.
Get fitted professionally: Finding the best bra comes down to size. So many women never feel comfortable because they’ve been wearing the wrong size. Going into a store and getting professionally fitted can help you know exactly what size you should be looking for.
Decide if you want wireless: If you’re feeling uncomfortable with an underwire, you can of course go wireless. However, the way the underwire fits can tell you a lot. If the wire digs into your breasts, you may need a larger cup size. If it’s cutting into the skin below your breasts, you may need to go down a band size.
Choose the right band size: Most of the support in a bra actually comes from a snug band, not the straps. When on the loosest hook, your band should only allow one finger in. To determine your band size, measure snugly around your ribcage, directly under your breasts.
Which are the bras worth buying?
You really can’t go wrong with any of the bras on our list regardless of the brand. They are all comfy and will make a great addition to your underwear drawer. However, if we had to choose which ones we like the most, they would be the following:
Skims Fits Everybody T-Shirt Bra: This bra really is for everyone. It’s comfy and a good staple for any wardrobe. Plus, how can you ignore that massive selection of colors? It is one of the higher priced options on our list, but it has the quality to back it up. It just might become the only bra you want to wear.
H&M 2-Pack Padded Cotton Bras: Who doesn’t like a two-for-one deal? We like this bra because it’s simple, no fuss — and you can get two for the price of one. Plus, jersey cotton is one of the most comfortable materials on the market.
