12 Best Wireless Bras – Best Wireless Bras for Women 2023

There are several reasons why a wireless bra might win out over your standard underwire option, the biggest of which is comfort. “Some people prefer a wireless bra mainly for comfort, or if they’ve had any kind of surgery — like a mastectomy, breast augmentation, or something like that,” Antol offers. Bones can also end up really tight, and we’ve all felt its impact at some point.

While wireless bras have several different features compared to underwire bras, you’ll still want to keep similar features in mind when choosing one—like material, coverage, and padding. If you’re looking for optimal support, Antol recommends looking for a slightly shaped or padded cup—not necessarily for a push-up effect, but more as an “enhanced” feature. “This will ensure that your breast tissue is molded or shaped into a natural-looking cup that will provide some lift or shape that underwire can usually provide,” she says.

When it comes to fabric, Antol always prefers “buttery, elastic fabricsor ones that have that ‘silky smooth’ feel.” And while cotton is certainly comfortable, Antol notes that it seems to stretch and lose its shape more quickly than other fabrics (like spandex or nylon). Of course, the weather and season can also play a role. Lighter, breathable fabrics are always preferable when temperatures rise so that moisture doesn’t build up and leave you with the dreaded chest sweat variation.

If you want your wireless bra to serve its purpose (or any bra for that matter), make sure you know how to find the perfect fit. “The best way to find out is to go and measure yourself,” says Antol. “Keep in mind that all brands usually have different sizes and size conversions. So the size you wear at Victoria’s Secret may be different than the size you wear at Aerie, Soma, or anywhere else!” If you’re shopping online and unsure of your size, you can take your own measurements at home using a flexible measuring tape – measure above, below and right across your bust. This is more of a guide, but if you still need a little help there are tons of YouTube videos like this one to walk you through.

Because wireless bras are built differently, they may have a slightly different fit. “The Sed wireless bra can be a little tighter and feel like it’s ‘hugging’ you,” says Antol. She also notes that if you feel like you’re smudging or spilling somewhere (like underarms or around the band), you’re probably a size too small. In contrast, Antol notes that “if it’s too big, you’ll have an unfilled space between the breast tissue and the bra cup, also known as a gape.”
