It’s a familiar feeling—you’ve had a long day, you’re struggling to keep that straight posture, and your underwire starts digging in. Or maybe it’s been poking you all day and you’ve finally had enough. Either way, the second you walk through that door, you’re stripping that puppy off!
But… What if you didn’t have to live like that? What if you were wearing a bra so comfortable you forgot you were wearing it? Sounds kind of like a daydream, maybe, and if so, I’m totally happy to introduce you to the world of wireless bras.
The best wireless bras out there give you comfort, support and that easy, breezy, no-bra feeling without actually going braless. But if you’re just starting to take the wireless side in the underwire bra vs no underwire debate, you may have some concerns: can a wireless bra really be as supportive, no matter your breast shapes or bust sizes?
Let’s say it together: YES!... if you know what to look for. That’s where I come in. That’s right, your everything bra guru is back, back again! This time with 12 wireless bras for every breast shape. Let’s get to it!
BREAST SHAPES
Before we head to the shopping part, here’s a quick review of breast shapes! You may be wondering—why does breast shape matter? And how will it influence the best wire free bra for you?
Knowing your breast shape will help you decide the support and type of bra that you need, as well as the coverage you want. And the more you know, the more likely it is to find the most comfy wirefree bra to call your very own.
It’s also important to know that your boobs can multitask and be a combos of the different shapes below, such as asymmetric and teardrop. Read the full breast shapes article for more info, but here’s a rundown for ya!
- Relaxed. Your boobs hang lower and appear to droop, often with the nipples pointing down.
- Round. Your boobs are equally full, on the top, bottom, and sides.
- Side-set. Your boobs are fuller, with a large gap in between the breasts.
- Slender. Your boobs are more thin than they are wide, and tend to be less round than other shapes.
- Asymmetric. Your boobs are different sizes—this one is commonly combined with a different type.
- Athletic. Your boobs may appear more muscular and smaller, as they are wide set and the breast tissue is smaller (or has the appearance of smaller).
- Bell. Your boobs hang lower on your chest, and are much fuller on the bottom than the top.
- East-West. Your boobs are spread far apart, with the nipples each pointing away from the middle.
- Teardrop. Your boobs are rounder at the bottom and less full on the top.
Now, let’s talk bras!
