(Part 2) Best bras for women according to redditors
We found 3,020 Reddit comments discussing the best bras for women. We ranked the 2,324 resulting products by number of redditors who mentioned them. Here are the products ranked 21-40. You can also go back to the previous section.
I recently purchased these off of Amazon. I got them more as protection, since my nipples really only show right now through very thin shirts, but they were getting sensitive enough that thicker shirts like the ones I wear at work would really zing when the shirt would move around too much.
However, I was recommended these because they're both comfy and hide developing breasts well, so they should be perfect for what you need.
I'm trans, but currently have minimal chest development.
I wear a Calvin Klein cotton bralette. I'm not publicly out and no one seems to notice I'm wearing a bra.
It should work for your purposes too.
Wearing a bra will not prevent sagging. That’s a myth. Sagging depends on the type of tissue in your breast, genetics, pregnancies, age, etc. So wear whatever kid of bra you want. Since my boobs fluctuated in size while nursing, I got some comfy, stretchy bras that could clip down like these Hanes bras and wore them pretty much for the first 6 months. Still wear them now sometimes!
To me you look like the classic combination of FOB with tall, shallow roots. This makes it tough to get a good fit from bras like the Lucy, which have a rigid top section that won't cling and conform and/or wrinkles when it runs into taller tissue (which is what I think is going on with your strap issue). I have this problem too - you're not alone!
There's a two prong starter approach. First, stretch lace:
Second, half cups:
I don't think you should size down in the Lucy - it looks like you fill out the bottom well, and a 32E would probably be too small.
Edit: Added the Andorra and Clara!
Same. I’m fairly thin but have a larger chest, so I had all but given up on cute little bralettes to wear around the house. Everything looked like Caroline’s sports bra. I used to laugh and say it looks like I’m stuffing sausage into its casing and failing. Then I discovered this Calvin Klein bra and OMG IM IN HEAVEN. She has no idea what she’s missing out on. Well fitting bralettes are perfection.
Caro- Do yourself a favor and buy a few of these. They’re BOMB. You’d probably be a medium like me. (Don’t be an idiot and order it too small cuz you think you’re a smol bean. I’m 5’7” and 115lbs so I’m potentially smaller than you)
I pretty much wore cotton bralettes like those Calvin Klein ones 24/7 when I got my nipples pierced. Sports bras might be too tight and polyester isn’t as breathable as cotton. Try wearing a cotton bralette even to sleep, and just make sure you change into a clean one every day. bralettes
I also hate wearing bras (I have smaller boobs and I find them all so uncomfortable) but I really love wearing this comfy bralette. It feels like I'm wearing nothing, smooths over my nipples, but doesn't have any padding or tightness. Also, it's really cheap. Consider throwing something like this on and meet in the middle?
Try Hains, or Calvin Klien here's another CK. Target also has some nice simple looking ones one, two, three, four, and there are a ton more just search their website for "bralette."
I've bought a few clothing items off Amazon.
I own three of these inexpensive Next Level T-shirts.
I also bought this Zeraca bikini for my most recent beach vacation and was very happy with the quality.
I own several of these bralettes and wear them frequently.
"Bandless" is a way to describe bras. Bras are either banded or bandless. It refers to if the band goes under the cups, like Marcie (a banded bra) or like Lucy, an unbanded bra. See how on the Lucy, the bottom of the cup ends at the underwire, where the Marcie has more fabric there that continues from the band?
The first thing that immediately jumps out at me is the discrepancy between your measurements and the bra band size you went with. Sister sizes get gradually shallower and wider as you size up in the band, while having the same volume. Does that make sense? In other words, a 28D/DD or 26DD/E is going to have far more projection in the cup than a 30C is.
It seems like you're experiencing what a lot of us on here did, stuffing our 30DD busts into a 34C and ending up with a fit that sucks. I think a 30 band size is going to be much too large for you given your measurements, and even if CK runs 'small' in the band it's not going to change the mismatch in cup shape, which means the C cup is going to be much too shallow for you.
I'd highly recommend trying something in a 28 band size, if not a 26. I understand that 26 bands are quite hard to find. In my experience 28 is significantly easier to find. What is available to you is probably gonna depend on your geographic area, but ordering bras in your size online to try on isn't a bad idea. Amazon Prime, for example, does free exchanges/returns.
Edited to add: Here are a couple bras available in 28D/DD on Amazon Prime.
Parfait Charlotte, assorted colors
Skarlett Blue Petite Plus Balconnet (I have this bra and it's one of my favorites! I would get it in all the colors if I could.)
Freya Patsy
In my case I originally thought my boobs were shallow, but later found out they are projected, just thin. I'm sure the fact that I wear binders somewhat regularly doesn't help them in that department, heh.
I have this sticky bra that I have been reusing for like a year. It provides a little shape- not as much support, but you're never going to get much of that in a strapless bra- and stays on REALLY well. I am a 34C. It's lasted so long because the adhesive is SUPER sticky. When I take it off I just stick the cups together. Never had a problem with sweat but that's just me
Fruit of the Loom Women's SPAG Sports Bra, White/Heather Gray/Black, 36 (Pack of 6) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015R97SPS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_GNJ.yb6WE4Q4T
Im a fan of these. Not a ton of support if youre big or do high impact. But for lifting i find them super comfortable. They come in racerback too
I ordered a bunch of these sports bras, and cut 2 holes where the flanges would go in a couple of them. If you have an old sports bra at home, you could use that as as back up!
What's your new measurements? Freya and Royce make good nursing bras. Plus I lived in these at home while nursing. https://www.amazon.com/Leading-Lady-Front-Close-Leisure/dp/B00EJCM1YS
Most of those bras are too big IMHO.
Hettie is the most projected and will be more fob friendly than say lily which is older style and i find a bit more projection friendly.
You might try a cleo lucy/kali in 28g and see how that fits you.
What is crazy is how your fob/fot type changes the fit on bras. Lucy/kali makes ME look "saggy" but makes fob ladies look very perky and cute, while lily/hettie/marcie make FOT/even ladies defy gravity but can make a fob gal look like the girls hang low iykwim.
Id stick with unlined until you nail a bra that fits awsome. Lined/foam are very hard to find in small sizes and with much projection. Ewa and comexim are pretty much your only bet (deco comes in our size range but is shallow as a mofo and if you are center heavy like we are boobs leak inwards) but are never gonna be PERFECT.
Once you nail a unlined bra it will be easier to find a polish bra that may work OK.
Marcie isnt perfect on me but works awesome for me since it hides slight assym and makes boobs defy gravity and often comes up cheap on amazon - so its my goto in a 28GG and you can see how differently im filling it. Yours are def too big but also you have less tissue ontop leaving lace gaping a bit which causes the pointy shape.
https://imgur.com/a/pFvir
Lucy/kali is a bit more your shape and id see if those dont work - go with a 28G in that.

Anyone have a solution to back of bra band bulge showing through clothing? /r/ABraThatFits seems to always suggest tight bands - which makes the problem worse. I found if I wear a less supportive bra (like this - https://www.amazon.com/Hanes-Womens-Cozy-Seamless-Wire-Free/dp/B00L5YKF0A) then everything under my t-shirt is smoooooth, but my boobs don't look as perky. With regular underwire bras, I end up wearing looser tops which probably don't look as good on me, but I can't stand when I look in the mirror at my side and see those bulges on my back. Darker color shirts help conceal it too.
There's no way your a 40B after a month of HRT. That's the volume equivalent of a 38C, 36D, or 34DD. Victoria Secret is notorious for sizing incorrectly. They're trained to do it in a way that doesn't put you in the correct size, but puts you into a size they carry.
If they sized you to a band of 40, that's most likely close. A 40B is near impossible to find. It's just not a size that's out in the wild for the most part. You might want to try looking at 38B bras. I measure to a 41, but fit in 38s without issue. 38B will give you a much broader choice of brands and styles.
Another option this early on would be to stay away from the tradition "grown up" bras that go on band and cup sizing. You're growing right now, so a training bra is a good option for you. Here's a few of what I would consider adult training bras. I relied heavily on these as I was growing out and before I could fit into traditional bras. Option 1 light padding. Option 2 unlined
Finally, go check out /r/abrathatfits. It's a super helpful resource for bras and they are accepting of trans women.
What size is your mother? I am in love with my seamless wireless bras from Anemone. They are "one size fits all", but they're very stretchy and also very supportive. I've been wearing them and washing them for months and they still retain their elasticity and shape.
I have somewhat sensitive skin, and I had no issues -- except the tag. I had to remove it immediately, as well (more importantly) as the clear plastic thread used to sew the tag on. Once that was gone, they are the most comfortable things I own. I measure at 28C or so, and they fit me well, but they would also definitely fit someone smaller as well as someone a fair bit larger all around than I am. They're also super inexpensive and come in LOTS of colors.

(My full review is there under the name "jen" -- ignore the fact that I thought I was 34A at the time, lol.)
I love wearing these, but I'm a 30C and they might fit different on you. These might fit better for your size! I used to be a (pendulous) 30F before my reduction and those look like something that would have fit me.
I swear by Anemone; their sports-looking bralettes might look cheap, but they're suuuuuper comfortable and rather well-made.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00GBCTSYU/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1473444258&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=calvin+klein+bralette&dpPl=1&dpID=51yWBIKTE%2BL&ref=plSrch
That's my favorite one ever! It's a nice thin soft cotton. So comfortable.
I'm so sorry for the rescheduling problems. The thought of upcoming surgery is emotional enough without them screwing with you that way. I would've been a wreck too if mine had been put off. I'm the kind of person that once I decide to do something, I want it done NOW lol! If the do end up rescheduling again, threaten to go to another surgeon (even if you really won't). My guess is they won't mess with you again though.
Use this extra time to prep yourself. I too had to buy (and bring to surgery) my own post-surgery bra too, it's pretty common. I bought bras a few weeks before my surgery. I didn't have to worry about any return times for mine though. Unless they're telling you that you need a special type of surgical bra, don't spend a ton of money on one. My best ones were just front-close sports bras. They provide plenty of support. I got the cheap Fruit of the Loom ones from Walmart, and ordered some from Amazon. I did also order a couple surgery bras, but like I said, the sports ones were my go-to. This was my fave, and my nurse liked it:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015QQVR0E/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I'm 10 weeks post surgery and I still wear these. Have several colors.
Hang in there!!
I love the Glamorise Sports Bra.
I have two of them in 38DD and find them true to size despite the reviews. The band is tight for the first couple of wears but gets just perfect after that. There is very, very little give and no bounce.
Since she may lose weight, the adjustable portion of the double layers would be great. I haven't had to use it yet but am hoping I may as well as I've taken up run-walking.
Glamorise has a 40I, though not a J. When I first purchased Glamorise brands, I found that I had to originally try a few different sizes in this style, of which I own multiple (38 F was what the ABTF calculator originally put me at), and the 38DD has been great across Glamorise bras.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N6RNVS8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_OJcFzbMAB0J0Y
I love this bra so much, you definitely have to size up though
All Natural Bamboo & Cotton Bra Liner (3-pk) No Irritation, Rash Guard https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01K1X7CME/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Q-F3Cb5KABZPR
These should fit under your bra well. If they fall out, your band size may be too large. They are amazing and I haven’t had a rash since I started using them way over a year ago
Sure!

For anything on Amazon, different size and color combinations may have different prices, so if you're not picky about color you may be able to get a better deal. And anything that's Prime eligible (which again depends on size + color combination) should have free returns even if you don't have Prime
OMG I totally feel you. I'm 34G, and finding a suitable bra was a major barrier to even trying yoga when I first got interested. I found these bras from Hanes are perfect. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00L5YKF0A/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I2YTNN96A7GXR2&colid=2QYW9Q32HH72Z
Not super supportive, but they keep the girls from flying all over the place and are extremely comfortable. With boobs as big as mine, they're arguably more comfortable than not wearing a bra because they keep everything in line without the slightest feeling of compression or constriction. AND they're wicked cheap! I buy 2-3 every year or so because they do stretch out a bit over time, but for the price, they're totally worth it.
Cheap cotton sports bras are the best. They breathe, which is super important when you're in a bra 24/7. I was wearing a more lycra one for a bit and got boob pimples. Not attractive!!
I now wear these, and they work great. Hanes Women's Stretch Cotton Low Imact Sports Bras - 2 Pack, White/Black, Large https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009DJCHWI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_oQ9EzbNPMYBWP

Never looking back
I wore an adhesive strapless bra (https://www.amazon.com/Tidetell-Adhesive-Invisible-Strapless-Thickness/dp/B00PIAPPYI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1480560080&sr=8-1&keywords=adhesive+strapless+bra) because I knew seeing the bra at all would drive me crazy. Definitely wore panties that completely covered my butt though!
I wore heels because I'm pretty short and knew I'd be wearing heels on the day of the wedding. So, I wanted to see how the dress would look on me when I was a bit "longer" :)
That said, I would just wear something that makes you feel comfortable and confident!
Perhaps you'll like Calvin Klein's?
Here are some of mine:
Calvin Klein Cotton Bralettes
Retinol Serum
I also got some other boring stuff like a cheap Fire 8 tablet for my kids to use on roadtrips and some cleaning supplies.
Is that a thing??
I've gone through two reductions before I was 22 and I can't wear racerbacks either. People think I'm nuts but I think those things are the devil.
Anyway though, how active do you plan on being? I have a Natori Yogi, and I love it.
I run, take gym classes, hike, you name it with this baby. It's not advertised as high impact, but I have never been uncomfortable in it. It has underwires and straps like a normal bra.
I also just got a shock absorber.
To be honest I only bought this because I wanted a cuter one, but it is slightly racerback so I don't wear it for longer than a few hours. (Good for a trip to the gym, but I wouldn't wear this casually or when I hike long distances.)
If it helps I am a 32/E or 30/F, so we are similar in terms of volume.
I would recommend that you try the specific cut/bra that I recommended above.
The Freya Longlines are also bras that are definitely on the shallow side i.e. not what you need.
Also if, in the future, you find a bra that fits perfectly but is stabby in the gore, you can use pliers to bend the underwires outwards, away from your sternum at the gore. But don't do this with this bra, return it and try one of the bras/cuts I recommended.

They're cheap and comfy. I also like that they minimize rather than accentuate my breasts- I always hated that underwires would thrust my tits out like they were on a platter for the world to gawk at. I also hated 'falling out' of them when I got active (and I have a physical trade as well).

Both of those are on Amazon. Cleo Lucy and Panache Andorra.
For starters - stick to your UK size :-) That's how we refer to sizing around here as it's more standardized and the bras you'll find fit you will most likely be using UK sizing.
From the numbers and way you describe your shape, you are projected, narrow rooted, probably short rooted, and pendulous. This is a common shape among your size especially. You'll need to look for bras that allow for immediate projection - meaning there is a lot of space at the bottom of the cup for the underwires to properly sit in your IMF. It makes sense that a 40 band is riding up, as it's really too large for your ribcage, but I would hesitate to tell you to try 36 bands across the board. In brands that run stretchier, such as Freya, you'd probably be fine in a 36. Also as you get larger in bands, they often get stretchier so you may find 36's to be your best bet. For now I would start with both 36 and some 38s until you figure out what will work best for you.
Your 40DDD is roughly a UK 40E. The gap at the center likely comes from the cups being too small and also probably the wrong shape. Are you scooping and swooping all your tissue into the cups? How far away is the center gore and how much overspill are you getting? I suspect 38FF/G is probably an overestimation. From your numbers I'm getting 38E as likely the smallest possible and 36G as likely the largest possible size. I would start with 38F and 36FF. A good projected bra to start with available in that size is Panache Envy. Cleo Kali is good for fuller on bottom shapes but may or may not have enough room at the underwire for you and the wires are likely to be a little wide. Cleo Erin is a discontinued clone of Cleo Lily, also discontinued, which is like The Awesomest UK Bra for narrow roots and even fullness/short roots on the planet, but is difficult to find anywhere. There are a couple left in both 38F and 36FF on eBay though.
I suspect UK wires may run a bit on the wide side for you, but it's hard to tell without trying some on. Are you nursing? Cake Macaroon is a pretty nursing bra available in your size range but I don't know how it fits.
I'm not an expert on recommendations in your size range, so I hope someone else chimes in with more suggestions!
You and I are apparently boob twins. Same exact measurements and same fit from Lucy and Juna.
Unfortunately I have had little luck finding a molded bra that works perfectly but Freya Patsy half cup works well enough. It is not really padded but gives pretty good nip coverage by using thicker fabric. It is not the softest thing in the world but it might be worth checking out. If you have amazon prime, you'll get free returns just in case it is not to your liking.

Btw, I was told that Freya bands run large but I got my regular 32 in this one and it worked for me. Just info to help you decide.
HTH and nice to find a twin!
ETA: The Patsy is a bit shallow so it will fit somewhere between Lucy and Juna. Again, it is not perfect for me but it is the best thing I've found short of my ill-fitting VS bras.

Getting. That. Now.
I also ordered a few of these and they seem really cozy but they're still a little too tight around my incision site.
I've only had surgery past friday, so my experience is very limited but absolutely DO get something that closes in the front. I've bought a medical compression bra as well, because of sudden changes in my operation date, and it has a way to open up the shoulders so you don't have to do a lot of weird arm work to get them on. The one I have linked is the one I have, and it has hooks first, so you can close those before you zip it up. My nurse in the hospital and my mom both found that VERY handy. Especially if all things are still a bit swollen and such.
Also got these linked from someone on here, and I've ordered similair as those, and they're so nice. Super colorful, and I need to wear one for 6 weeks straight, so the colors really are helpful to keep the cheering up :)
Good luck with your surgery! It may not be as bad as you think.
EDIT: Also get some shirts and hoodies and such that you can close in the front, because you will need it.
I bought some bikinis online that are totally not flattering. Is there any way to add some "oomph" to salvage these non-returnable tops? I thought about trying one of [these] (http://www.amazon.com/Tidetell-Adhesive-Invisible-Strapless-Thickness/dp/B00PIAPPYI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1464564560&sr=8-2&keywords=invisible+bra) (link NSFW) silicone "invisible bras" underneath? Would that work? Has anyone ever tried these and do they actually give you some cleavage/uplift?

It might shift around during nursing. Thinking about that made me realize though that maybe the gore is too high? The wire doesn't seem too narrow like it doesn't contain all my breast tissue, more like the inner parts of the cup are too sloping. I don't really know how to describe it! Every time I think I know what a well fitted bra feels like it's like a new challenger appears haha.
Before pregnancy etc my favorite bra was the Freya Patsy which has a low gore since it's a half cup.
I have the thongs in black and heather grey, and want the two matching tops! Spoil for spoil?
Cost is $37 shipped for both.
In return I'll do a 30 minute vanilla Kik session, no Amazon GC surcharge, which means an $8 savings!

I started just wearing socks, but there's a proper product. Someitmes I wear two since I use them for padding more than sweat absortion in winter.
I’ve been a huge fan of these bras for a while, and now that I’m pregnant and my boobs are being weird, I’m so glad I have these bras ready to go! I haaaaate underwire - I have really wide-set boobs, and I never found any structured bras that fit me decently. Finally saw the comfy-bra light and I’m never going back!
These bras are super stretchy, soft, and forgiving, and have foam sewn into the cups to help keep things smooth and un-nippley. (They actually make the same bras without the foam, and I love those too for some outfits!)
I will say, I’ve ordered a few on Amazon that felt like knockoffs - fabric was much stiffer than usual - but if you order from Macy’s / JCPenney or whatever they should be legit.
Spacer bras! I have the Panache Cari and I've also heard good things about the Fantasie Rebecca. They're not quite moulded cups, more like a thick, stiffer mesh that breathes well. Note that these are European sizes, so if you haven't already, head over to r/abrathatfits to find the right fit :)
The Hanes Comfort-Flex bras were already mentioned. However, if you're a tall girl (6'+) like me with a really long torso. You might want to look at these other two Hanes styles as the straps are longer:

They're cheap and super comfy! And while not great for support or the most flattering under clothes (they'll flatten you out, but nothing worse that any sports bra). They're perfect for keep sensitive nips from rubbing against your clothing. Which is where you'll likely be soon. Oh, and in my experience they run true to size (I'm currently a 38B to C. And a large fits me well).

Thank you! These look so comfy. I just ordered two because I'm not sure about size- 34DD isn't included on their chart but I'm hopeful!
34/G/K here. I ended up buying Hanes Women's Cozy Seamless Wire Free Bra, Black, X-Large https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00L5YL8XS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_xraNBb4YYKNA1
I fluctuate heavily depending how engorged I am, and I can’t afford to drop $70+ per nursing bra. These are cheap and do the trick.
I think AA is unlikely when you've ever been this big but one can hope! You're probably not actually 34D or DD now btw, it is unlikely your band size went up unless you've gained weight in general? Probably the sister size 32E!
Pretty ones are usually nylon and everyday is cotton. I look for two layers at least and get them to fit really tight (almost binding, they're tiny and uneven anyway might as well go for the Tiny Titty Committee look)
I am also a 38GG, and my boyfriend found me this one: http://www.amazon.com/Leading-Lady-Womens-Leisure-Cotton/dp/B00EJCM1YS on amazon. There's a lot of colors, and I like the front closure, as I sleep on my back or side. The comments on Amazon said it runs a little small in the band, so he got me the 42F/G/H, and it fit's perfectly.
my boobs were constantly falling out of sports bras while sleeping, and this bra is both supportive and comfy like I haven't felt since middle school.
Hope this helps!
EDIT: the price ranges from $16.50 to $40. Mine was 18.21 for the all black, and 24 for black with polka dots
I had the same problem with the CK Princess and other CK bras. Just recently picked up the Cleo Lucy, and it fits perfectly. I also got it for $35, so that's pretty awesome.
Someone who shares the pain! Projection is just so hard to find, I don't really understand...
I usually just wear those built in bra tank tops (the only ones that fit well are the ones from Old Navy), soft cotton pullover type things (similar to these), or the one sports bra that I've found that wasn't a full on top style... I swear, being not full on top is almost as hard as being pendulous.
I saw your post above about needing to order 28s online -- the Cleo Lucy in 28F in black or white is on sale on Amazon (Prime) w/ free shipping and returns for $31.90.
Which style do you recommend? I used to have the Multi Sport Max Support bra (this one) and didn't love it, but they make so many others!
Maybe something like this? http://www.amazon.com/Fantasie-Womens-Rebecca-Spacer-Molded/dp/B00UTGOCSG
or this? http://www.amazon.com/Fantasie-Womens-Smoothing-Moulded-4500/dp/B00UTGODBM/ref=cts_ap_1_cts

You can tell if it's UK or American sizing when you're shopping by seeing if sizes like FF or GG are listed... American sizes don't double letters after DD or DDD (depending on brand.) Good luck!!
This one is incredibly cheap ($20 or less) and has a really wide range of sizes. It is not very snug so would not be for running but things like walking or yoga etc it would work. The top review breaks down their sizing and your size isn't listed so I'm not sure if it would be better to go for medium to match the band size or what depending on the type of support you need. Might be worn a shot for $20.
I'm a 44-46FF/G and got the 3x and love it but don't do high impact stuff. My size wasn't listed either so I took a gamble and ordered a color that was $9, lol.
Better sports bras out there? Sure, but mine was comfy and an unbelievable price and it suits my needs.
I recently had to buy a non-sport bra to wear with a dress and confirmed that you get what you pay for with bras. Wacoal and Glamorise are two of my recommendations for sport bras.
These are what I wear, especially in the summer: https://www.amazon.com/Fruit-Loom-Womens-Sports-Heather/dp/B015R97SPS/ref=sr_1_4?crid=3AVONAH2XIXW5&keywords=fruit+of+the+loom+sports+bra&qid=1559122556&s=gateway&sprefix=fruit+of+the+loom+%2Caps%2C327&sr=8-4
