The Best Wireless Bras That Still Offer Great Support

Say goodbye to underwire bras and sport one of these wireless ones instead, including styles from Knix, Aerie and Hanes.
Open Image Modal

After I graduated high school, I stopped wearing underwire bras because they were so incredibly uncomfortable. I felt like I was always adjusting them as the band was literally digging into my skin (I have what appears to be a permanent mark on my skin where the wire ba would go now). 

And if you have a larger chest , finding a wireless bra that’s actually supportive and not flimsy can feel impossible, not to mention that a lot of bras in general that are specifically made for bigger busts just aren’t that cute. 

But all hope is not lost. In recent years, many brands are finally beginning to listen to us and cater to people who prefer wireless bras with support. Below, we rounded up 11 that have a slew of glowing reviews talking about their support, inclusive sizing options and color choices.

Olga Play It Cool wirefree contour bra
This bra comes in sizes 36C-44DD and in colors white, gray and almond. The lining in the cups is made with moisture-wicking and cooling technology to keep you comfortable all day. The straps are wider than those of most bras and come camisole-style for extra comfort and padding on your shoulders.

Promising review:
"Im extremely picky about what I wear when it comes to comfort, especially with bras! Ive been buying this same bra for years. Just went up a size after a pregnancy. Im DDD and without underwire it still provides perfect support. Its thin enough that I can nurse with it on just by pulling one side down and thick enough that nips dont poke out. Its well made and comfortable enough that I can sleep in it every night. Theres no other style or brand more perfect." JJ

"I grew up dreading bra shopping.

The moment I put this bra on it felt like it was tailored to me. It leaves no gap and actually shows my shape so I can celebrate me." Ari

Open Image Modal
Constructed from an ultra-soft stretch fabric and free from underwire, this seamless bandeau by Skims offers slightly compressive support, without digging in your skin. It's available in nine skin-toned shades, as well as some limited edition colors like electric blue and fuchsia.

A stabilizing anti-bulge bra with a flattering rounded profile(02 of12)
Open Image Modal
This full-busted underwire bra has a silicone strip and hidden stays that stabilize the sides and band and keep the bra in place. The molded stretch foam cups maintain their shape to keep a flattering rounded profile that won't create odd dents underneath T-shirts, and the seamless band smooths and prevents bulging. Available in four colors and sizes 30D-44G, this bra comes with a detachable strap to accommodate a number of different wear styles.

Promising review: I have tried out and owned dozens of strapless bras, but was never quite able to find one that I actually enjoyed wearing, until now. One of the biggest problems that I have is that they always seem to create a weird silhouette in profile that looks more 'cone' shaped than rounded, or they show an obvious line where the top of the cups hit my chest. This is the first one that I have found that does not create an odd profile, and it has the perfect rounded shape. KH

Available in 23 different colors in cup sizes B-H and band sizes up to 46, this contoured underwire bra has over 8,000 positive reviews and features detachable straps that allows the bra to be worn in a number of different ways, such as crossed in the front or over one shoulder. The slightly padded cups offer extra support and promote a natural rounded shape, while soft boning embedded in the breathable mesh band prevents buckling.

Promising review: I am large-busted and haven't bought a strapless bra in years because every other one I've ever tried has either been so tight it was uncomfortable OR slipped down all the time. But I fell in love with a dress that requires a strapless bra so I gave this one a shot. First, the bra fits just as expected- not too large or small. It gives the ladies just the right amount of support without squishing them. It is so comfortable that honestly, I forgot I was wearing a strapless bra after a bit. Also, it stays in place- all day- not slipping or tugging. It came at a good price with good quality. I can't recommend this bra highly enough! StacieG

It's made from four-way stretch microfiber and features a highly breathable knit-in area between the breasts to reduce sweating, making this a great option to wear in warmer months. You can get this bandeau in 11 different colors and sizes 1X-3X.

Promising review: It was great to finally find a strapless bra for bigger breasts that works. This is really comfortable. And, it doesn't ride or end up rolling like many bandeau bras do. The fabric is soft and stretchy and it's easy to get on and off over your head. The larger the bra, the bigger the cup size also! This was the best part. I liked this so much I bought 2 in black and 2 in nude. Sheila

Promising review: When I tell you I have found the perfect strapless bra, I MEAN IT!! I have been looking for YEARS for the perfect strapless bra that lifts me up and keeps me there comfortably and this bra is it. This bra has a wide band that gives my back a very smooth look, underwire and padding. I'm a 42DD and I tried dancing in this bra to make sure my boobs would not spill out and they didn't! I feel so secure when wearing this. Overall I feel like it was a great investment!! Tesha

Promising review: I am shocked that this bra actually fit! I First of all the stays or bones make all the difference. I have a lot of breast tissue and the stays or bones, especially the one in the center between the breasts makes all the difference. It prevents uni-boob, and it prevents the heavy boob sweat. It's soft fabric. The size I am, and the size I ordered fit 38DD. Aisha

This bra fits all of those requirements. I wear this bra even when I don't need strapless! It stays up and is fully supportive. I highly highly recommend this bra for women needing more support.

Open Image Modal
If you're not a fan of underwire, but still like the support it provides, this soft, fully lined strapless bra might be a good option to try.

It's available in two colors and sizes 32A-42DD.

Promising review: I purchased this bra and have worn it on a daily basis for almost a year now. It stays up well all day. I even ordered a larger cup size and used it while I was breastfeeding. I am normally a 34C and go up to a 36DD when pregnant/breastfeeding. It is very hard to find strapless bras that will work normally, let alone when my breasts grow! It has a slight grip to it that I think really helps. Love this bra. Anonymous
