let's talk comfortable bras for everyday wear. At some point in the last few years, I became incredibly sick of underwired bras. At least, I didn't want to wear them everyday. A few years at home and a lot of test drives lead to this blog post……the ultimate guide to the best non underwired bras and wireless bralettes (from a 40-something year old woman).

looking for the best non underwired bras ? These are some great options!

Why am I specifying my age here? I think it's important to clarify that after 43 years of life (and breastfeeding for a year)……I need a fair amount of support even with wire-free bras . In my search for soft cup options, I found a ton of non underwired bras that were meant for…..younger breast tissue or a very small cup size . I feel like I've been on the golidlocks and three bears search of bras (and trust me, my bra and underwear drawer is evidence of this). I wear a b cup (so not larger chests needs by any means) but the search for everyday wear bras has lead me to some gems and some failures.

This? Is my guide to my favorites. The non underwired bras that I'll buy over and over again in every shade and the soft cup options that I reach for each morning. I've even worn some of these for boudoir photography sessions…..and that's saying a lot for bras that we don't exactly associate with sexy lingerie , right?

Now, let's talk best option for a non-wired bra or bralette. I've tried a TON of brands, and while MOST lingerie brands off a wireless type of bra ….. they certainly aren't all created equal. These are the best wireless bras that I've found: I've found they all have great support and are reasonable prices. If you're looking for this type of bra then these will be your best bet!

Shop All Bras:

Knix non underwired bras

Knix is an intimates company based in Canada that I discovered a few years ago. They make bras, leakproof underwear, traditional underwear, activewear, and some apparel. Knix was founded with the goal of creating comfortable, empowering pieces. They support amazing causes, have a killer size range and truly representative models and ad campaigns (and hooray, they've started opening retail locations in the US).

the best non underwired bras : these seamless and wireless bras are SUPER comfortable

WingWoman Contour Bra: If you are looking for a bra that is wireless but comparable to a traditional underwire style bra ……then this is the PERFECT option from Knix. It has molded foam cups (that give great support ) and uses hook and eye closures in the back. This bra comes in a bunch of fun prints and colors and also a great range of skin tones and shades.

Revolution Bra: If you are looking for more traditional non underwired bras (with removable cups ) then this will be a great option. The revolution bra has that hook and eye back closure and not too wide adjustable straps (like the underwire bras you're used to) and has good support.

The ultimate guide to the best non underwired bras

Luxe Modal Pullover Lounge Bra: If you are looking for a super soft bra then this is a super comfy option (and also the newest Knix bra I've tried). This bra doesn't have cups (so you won't see the support of say, a push-up bra ) but it's seamless and the comfort level is amazing (plus it comes in some amazing colors). This is…..just like the name says…..a perfect lounge bra. I probably wouldn't wear it for a full day out and about….but I would for a more relaxed setting.

Spanx Wireless Bra Options

Now, Spanx isn't exactly known for it's bras…..either a wireless or underwired bra . They're famous for their shapewear, but they're expanded a LOT in the last few years. Spanx is a female founded and female run brand….they pride themselves on making quality pieces that flatter and provide comfort and their bras? Absolutely do just that.

Breast of Both Worlds® Reversible Comfort Bra : If you are looking for an option that is more of a sports bra style…..then this may be your favorite. This is made of thicker materials and therefore is automatically a little more supportive for larger busts . It's also seamless, and hookless and reversible (so you get two colors as an option for daily wear). I've found it holds up well to washing, and keeps it's shape and support throughout the day.

the best non underwired bras from Soma

Soma has been a mainstay brand for me for YEARS. From their pajamas to their comfortable underwear……they make quality pieces with a good size range at a decent price (and they have some STELLAR sales a few times a year).

Enbliss Wireless Bra : If you are looking for a moldable cup bra, this is another stellar option (in fact, this is one of my top recommendations for your everyday bra that can take you through actual leaving the house activities comfortably). It has adjustable elastic shoulder straps and a traditional hook and eye closure, and is as supportive as a traditional full coverage bra.

Nike wireless bras

Nike? Bras? That aren't sports bras? Yes, I'm serious. Don't sleep on Nike's bras…..they make some amazing sports bras but they've branched out and make some great bras that may just become your favorite item in your lingerie drawer.

Nike Alate Minimalist: This is the first of nike's non underwired bras that I tried and I'm sold. If you are looking for a lighter support padded bra that can be both a lighter activity active bra and a daily wear bra …..this is IT. I'd highly recommend this as a great option for trips where you'll be doing hikes, long walks, etc….it's super versatile.

Nike Alate Coverage : If you're on the hunt for wireless and seamless bras that are better for big busts , then this is a great option. It has moldable cups, thicker straps and fuller coverage (more like a sports bra). The size range is incredible, and it washes and wears VERY well. This bra is worth every penny. It's lightweight, breathable, and has light to medium support.

the best non underwired bras for a bargain price

Now, I get it. Bras (of any type) are an investment. And I'm of the …… you get what you pay for mindset most of the time. My biggest suggestion is to wait for any of these retailers to have sales, and to stock up THEN. I've found that these investment bras have better support, and last longer. If we're really talking cost per wear…..you'll end up getting WAY more use out of these than a cheaper version.

I am going to offer ONE exception. On a whim, I recently tried a new bralette from Walmart. It help up against it's competitors pretty well, I'm impressed (especially for the price).

Joyspun Women's Pullover Comfort Bralette: This bralette is under $15, and fits like a sports bra. It's wire free and has removable cups and wide straps and is definitely comfortable. It comes in a ton of colors, and goes up to a size 3x. You've got a decent bra size range here. I've found it to be lighter support, but….a great option at a lovely price point.

….and also why are we commenting negatively abou ….and also why are we commenting negatively about people’s appearances in 2023?Double also: if the worst thing people on the interwebs can say about me is that they don’t like my smile…..then I feel pretty good about what type of person I’ve chosen to be.
💕Because we all want our kids to soar………⠀⠀So fitting right? Elvis named this plane after his daughter.  And all I’ve been thinking about throughout our St Jude experience…..is how certain things truly bond all of us.  Certain things cross economic barriers and continent and language differences.  Parenthood is one of those.  It’s a universal experience.  And I think whether we are parents or role models or aunties or friends……we all know what it’s like to dream and hope on behalf of a child in your life.⠀⠀In 2012, when I was newly married and not yet a parent one of my students was diagnosed with cancer.  Without revealing details about her or her family, I think it’s important to recognize that economic barriers prevented what should have been an earlier diagnosis.  It was one of many times I was reminded during my time with the amazing humans in my classrooms that…..we do NOT all have the same access or experiences in life.  That student and her family were one of the miracle stories.  In fact, when she came back to class, she complained about missing soccer games at recess and fell right back in with the rest in a way that to this day brings joyful tears to my eyes. ⠀⠀I said this on my stories during my trip, but…..I didn’t realize until this experience that families at St Jude NEVER receive a bill.  Ever.  No matter what.  That this access gives families hope during their darkest days.⠀⠀I’m going to be teaming up with St. Jude to do a fun challenge that will hopefully inspire y’all to support them too.  Let’s just say that…..for this scared of heights, refuses to take my feet off the ground theme park girlie……I’m going to making the ultimate sacrifices.⠀⠀What rides would you want to see me go on in support of St Jude? (be kind, I’m literally TERRIFIED of any and all rides that have a height limit). You know they REALLY moved me if I’m even thinking of doing this! ⠀⠀@stjude #stjudeambassador
💕Double tap if you know what the Peabody is fam 💕Double tap if you know what the Peabody is famous for…..so many of you guessed it in stories last night!🦆The Peabody Hotel is famous for their duck parade.  And we got to see it as a part of Day 1 of the St Jude Content Creator Summit.  I’m in Memphis to learn all about how St Jude is doing life saving research to fight and cure childhood cancers.💕Real talk: I get to do a lot of fun things because of this little app but projects like this? Are an absolute honor.  Did you know that patients at St Jude NEVER RECEIVE A BILL? What a gift to families in crisis. I’m so happy to share this next couple of days here in Memphis with y’all and to support such an important organization.🦆Now, swipe to see the ducks. @stjude #stjudeambassador
She IS Ariel. We saw it. It’s a gift. This s She IS Ariel. We saw it.  It’s a gift.  This stunning movie shows a princess who is absolutely……royal.  Graceful.  Brave and……the perfect mermaid. Years ago, I was sitting in the theater during the live action Lion King premiere just days after the Little Mermaid casting was announced.  And in walked Halle Bailey.  This young girl and all I could think was……how much weight of the world was on her shoulders.  The room paused.  And people everywhere stood.  They applauded her and smiled and I thought…..she really is a princess. Halle, you are the epitome of royalty.  Thank you for sharing your shine with the world.I would love to encourage you to follow these amazing creators who have been shining themselves and sharing a ton of special Little Mermaid experiences:@jenniferborget @erikaenchanted@davidvaughn@_the_adventurous_rjay@colormemagic@melizzablackLydia’s, Robbie’s and my full review of the film will be on the blog Monday morning.How excited are you for the film? Who is your favorite Little Mermaid character? #littlemermaid #colormemermaid #ariel
Mother’s Day Memories: Starting to wonder how ma Mother’s Day Memories: Starting to wonder how many more years we have of this family tradition before SOMEONE becomes a full blown teen / tween and the Happiest Place on Earth is a whole different vibeWe: hugged our favorite characters, danced every time mom got a coffee (swipe for that excellent content), Lydia and Robbie rode all the mountains, walked 22,000 steps on Saturday alone, and Robbie finally got to see Toontown for the first time since it’s reopening.We slept like rocks on the comfy beds at the JW Marriott (it was such a kind gesture when they offered to host us for Mother’s day weekend), I drank my morning coffee in their beautiful garden, and loved that it was a quick 15 minute walk to the Disneyland gates.  If you are looking for a luxury hotel experience near Disneyland, I highly recommend.  They have great dining options, a Starbucks in the lobby each morning, and a lovely pool.  This was a perfect treat yourself location.Have you done a holiday at Disneyland? My favorites (in no particular order): Halloween (Oogie Boogie is the best), Holiday Time and Mother’s Day……each has it’s own unique flavor.@MarriottBonvoy #MarriottBonvoy @jwmarriottanaheim #jwmarriottanaheim #MarriottBonvoyMoments Hosted
