I’ve been wearing bras for more than a decade, and I’m still on the quest to find the most comfortable one.

You think I’d have this all figured out by now, right? It makes sense, as I’ve been cycling through the best wireless styles, the best strapless bras and everything that can slip under my loungewear (think: sports bras and bralettes).

Allow me to get into some TMI business here (after all, you are reading a guide to the most comfortable bras, so it kind of comes with the territory). As a petite woman with a small band size and large bust size, finding a bra I can say with full certainty that I swear by has been difficult.

First off, you’ll want to ensure you’re shopping with your correct bra size in mind. I interviewed a professional bra fitter on how to measure your bra size — but that’s only half the battle.

Some bras pinch your chest at the center, which, truthfully, makes me want to throw the garment out my window. Some of them are just sadly uncomfortable, either with poor wiring or itchy material that irritates sensitive skin. That’s why I corralled my fellow Post Wanted product testers to answer the question, “Which bras do we want to recommend to our readers? Which ones do we reach for in our drawer the most?“

It’s time to rethink your bra game, y’all, and it starts by shopping the only ones that made the cut below.

OK, let me tell you — the Victoria’s Secret T-Shirt Lightly Lined Wireless Bra is hands down the most comfortable bra I’ve ever worn. The biggest game-changer is that it’s wireless, but still gives surprisingly great support.

Instead of wires, it uses soft silicone strips inside the band that help it stay in place without digging in or rolling up. The fabric is super smooth and lightweight, and the light lining adds just the right amount of shape and modesty without being bulky. It’s one of those bras you can wear under anything, and it stays invisible even under tight tees.

Another thing that I really love is how customizable and versatile it is. The straps are fully adjustable (a lifesaver if you’re on the shorter or taller side), and some versions are even convertible, so you can crisscross them for racerback tops. The fit is very natural, hugging the body without squeezing or creating weird lines, and it just feels like a second skin. When I walked into Victoria’s Secret at my local mall, plenty of fitting experts named it their “go-to for everyday wear,” especially for long shifts or travel days when one needs comfort but doesn’t want to sacrifice shape.

It gives just enough support and shape to feel put-together, but it’s soft and light enough that you don’t race to take it off the second you get home. It’s like the ideal mix of cozy bralette and functional bra — you get the best of both. Whether you’re running errands, lounging or heading to work, this bra totally delivers on comfort without looking or feeling basic.

Small busts? There’s a bra to flatter you. The Pepper Lift Up Bra is an insanely comfortable garment with soft and stretchy fabric. Best of all, it molds to your shape instead of fighting against it.

“While a lot of push-up bras can feel bulky, this one was so comfortable that I forgot I was even wearing it,” Hannah Southwick, Page Six associate commerce editor, shared. “It offers just the right amount of support and subtle lift. (Plus, it truly lived up to Pepper’s promise of no cup gaps.)”

The cups have this gradual, subtle padding that lifts without shoving everything up into your chin. There are no wires digging in, no itchy seams, and the band stays in place without squeezing too tight. Southwick loves its secure, light-as-air feeling that’s honestly hard to find in bras made for smaller busts.

Also, we have to shout out Pepper as a brand, because it gets the memo. Pepper doesn’t shrink standard sizes; it starts from scratch to design its bras. Everything is ethically made, and the packaging is eco-friendly. If you’ve been struggling to find a bra that actually fits, flatters and feels amazing all day long, this one’s worth trying.

Southwick specifically loves the look of the black lace style, but she’s planning to stock up on a few more styles. “The Signature All You Bra Jessica Biel wore in ‘Better Sister’ is on my list,” she added.

Meet the strapless wonder that finally lets you live loud and proud, without sacrificing comfort. The Truekind bandeau isn’t your typical brittle, wire-free flop; it’s a supportive dream tailored for fuller breasts. With its breathable, stretchy fabric hugging every curve, this bandeau molds like a second skin —no bulges, no awkward lifting. Just smooth confidence all day.

“I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: they should invent a strapless bra that’s actually wearable,” Angela Tricarico, commerce streaming deals writer, shared. “I’ve tried so many strapless bras in my days, both underwire and wireless, but I haven’t found one that’s as comfortable to wear all day as Shapermint’s bandeau-style strapless. Silicone grips keep it up, and it’s incredibly supportive even with my larger bra size.”

The secret? A stay-put silicone grip and subtle yet sturdy side boning that keep everything exactly where it needs to be. Add in convertible straps (available in clear and flesh tones) and you’ve got a bra that plays hard to get — with slipping, that is.

The EBY Relief Wireless Bra stands as the reigning queen of comfort. What I love most about this bra is its material. It’s crafted with EBY’s proprietary SoftWire and 3D support wings, delivering that coveted underwire lift without the wire — like enjoying the best of both worlds without the sting of poking or prodding.

That silky-smooth fabric hugs my body, and I tend to forget I’m even wearing it. In short, it’s comfort is next-level. What truly elevates this bralette beyond its competitors, however, is that perfect cocktail of support and invisibility. With its teardrop cups, nylon grip hem, and adjustable straps, it sculpts and smooths without bulging, riding up or sliding down. I find it incredibly supportive and flattering, too.

The price point is a bit steep, but you only need one of these bras to unlock the true magic it provides.

OK, real talk — this Aerie SMOOTHEZ Bandeau Bralette is honestly the only strapless bra I’ve ever worn that didn’t make me want to rip it off halfway through the day. From the moment I put it on, I was like…wait, where has this been my whole life?

The fabric of the Aerie SMOOTHEZ Bandeau Bralette is ridiculously soft, like buttery, second-skin soft. It doesn’t have any of that annoying wire or stiff padding. Quite simply, I just pull it on and go. No tugging, no readjusting, and somehow it stays in place without squeezing the life out of me.

What really sold me is the sticky inner band. It’s subtle — I don’t feel it at all — but it keeps everything from slipping or shifting, even when I’m walking around all day or layering it under a strapless top. I’ve tried so many bandeaus that either roll down or dig in, but this one? It just sits there perfectly.

And maybe this sounds dramatic, but I kind of can’t go back to normal strapless bras now. The comfort level is that good. I even started wearing it around the house as a lounge bra because it’s just that easy and breathable.

Let us put you on to the LDMA High-Sculpt Rib Bra. It’s honestly the new lounge bra obsession. The second our Page Six commerce reporter Erica Radol put it on, she became…well, obsessed.

“The past few years, I’ve started to loathe wearing bras, but etiquette dictates that I wear one — at least in professional settings and social events,” Radol shared. “So, I set out to find a comfortable one that didn’t flatten like a sports bra nor cause discomfort like underwires. Lucky me, I happened to find LDMA bras, which give just enough support and hold to my C/D cup bust that I can wear them daily, and not feel like ripping them off the moment I get home.”

They look seamless under shirts and are made of a super soft, stretchy material. The ribbed fabric is super soft and stretchy, giving you just the right amount of support without ever feeling tight or uncomfortable.

What we love most is how it moves with your body. Whether you’re stretching through some light yoga, running quick errands or just lounging on the couch binge-watching, it never feels restrictive or sweaty. The moisture-wicking and anti-odor features seriously make a difference, so you’ll stay fresh all day long. Plus, the wide straps and flattering scoop neckline mean we’re totally fine rocking this bra solo or layering it under a cute top. It just looks that good.

Even better, LDMA has plenty of colors to choose from.

If you’re on the hunt for a sports bra that combines comfort, style and versatility, look no further than THE GYM PEOPLE Longline Wireless Bra. This bra has garnered attention for its flattering longline silhouette and wire-free design, offering medium support suitable for a range of activities from yoga to light cardio. It’s a mainstay in my fitness drawer, complete with a V-neckline and racerback style to provide a modern aesthetic, while the removable padding allows for customizable support and shape.

Crafted from a blend of polyamide and spandex, the fabric is both soft and breathable, ensuring comfort during workouts or daily wear. The moisture-wicking properties help keep skin dry, and the wide straps distribute weight evenly, reducing shoulder strain. The longline cut offers additional coverage and smooths out the torso, too, making it a great option to wear on its own or layered under a jacket or open shirt.

For less than $25, it’s as clear as day why this flattering option is a tried-and-true Amazon best-seller.

When shopping for any garment online, including bras, your best friend will be a soft measuring tape. While braless, measure your band size by placing the tape where the bra band would sit. The tape should be snug but not tight during this step.

From there, round the measurement up. So, if you measure 35, you’ll go up to 36.

Next, measure your bust size by loosely wrapping the tape around the fullest part of your chest. Like when measuring the band size, you’ll want to go up one size.

The final step is to figure out your cup size. To do this, take your band measurement size and subtract your bust size. 1=A, 2=B, 3=C, 4=D, 5=DD or E, 6=DDD or F, 7=G and so forth. Once you have your band and cup size, you can officially begin shopping.
