26 Strapless Bras That Don't Suck

You probably thought it was impossible, but we've got options from A to Z. Well, okay, AA to H.

1. A convertible underwire bra with a super thick band to ensure that everything stays supported with minimal squeezing and pinching.

Amazon

The removable straps mean you can wear this bra five different ways, and the five-hook closure means it'll stay up no matter what.

Promising review: “Holy crap! I have saggy nana boobies and I have struggled my whole life looking for a good strapless bra. This bra is freaking perfect! Holds them up where they used to be, the wide band smooths any bulging on my back, and it stays in place. I'm ordering one in every color! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!” —naomi

Get it from Amazon for $14.89+ (available in band sizes 34–44, cup sizes B–DD, three colors, and multipacks).

2. A underwire bra that's so secure, the only shimmying you'll be doing is on the dance floor — no more awkwardly sneaking off to hike up your bra.

Amazon

This bra is silicone-lined for extra hold, and comes with detachable straps.

Promising review: “ This is, hands-down, the most comfortable and supportive strapless bra I have ever worn. I bought this in black to wear under a semi-formal evening dress, and over the course of seven hours — which included a great deal of driving, walking, dancing, and sweating — the bra did not budge once! I never had to adjust it or hoik it, which is nothing short of a miracle. The extra coverage in front also creates a much smoother shape under my dress than other bras generally have in the past, and the wide band across the back is comfortable and does not cut in.” —Young Wordsmith

Get it from Amazon for $17.34+ (available in band sizes 34–42, cup sizes C–DD, and three colors).

3. A bandeau-style bra with pretty lace detailing you'll want to show off in low-cut tops. It's also wireless, which majorly ups the comfiness factor.

Amazon, amazon.com

Since it's a bandeau, it's only sized by the band: if you're a B-D cup, just order your regular band size and the fabric will stretch to fit. If you're DD+, though, commenters who love this bra recommend ordering a band size or two up.

Promising review: “If you have a problem with slippy, slide-y, itchy, pokey, non-supportive underthings that make you look like a sausage casing... THIS strapless is SUPREME! I ride a motorcycle and wanted to wear a string top and, after reading the other reviews, I bought one and this REIGNS SUPREME! My hoots stayed perfectly in place, did not jiggle, bop, droop, slide out, pop out, swing, sway, do the hokey pokey, or give me a black eye! Love this so much that I bought all three colors! You will not be disappointed. It's perfect” —Sherrie St James

Get it from Amazon for $14.95+ (available in band sizes 34–44 and four colors).

4. A strapless bra that comes in half cup sizes, so you can finally find the perfect fit. Who knew you could actually be a C ½?

ThirdLove

It also comes with convertible straps and is silicone-lined for extra security.

Promising review: “I stopped wearing anything that required a strapless bra because I hated them. They never stayed up, I had to adjust all the time, and it was not worth being awkward and uncomfortable. I have loved my other ThirdLove bras, so I decided to try the strapless version. Seriously, it’s amazing. I have nothing bad to say. It stays. It fits like a dream. I took it on vacation to Hawaii and wore it with four different outfits. Not a single problem with any of them.” —Courtney S.

Get it from ThirdLove for $65 (available in band sizes 32–44, cup sizes AA–H, and three colors).

5. A seamless bra with padding around the underwire that makes it a revolution in comfort. No more poke-y wires!

Amazon, amazon.com

It also comes with straps to convert the bra to several styles, and the silicone lining will keep it solid.

Promising review: “This is the best strapless bra I have ever worn. Its comfortable, doesn't show under clothing, and stays up. With other strapless bras, I am constantly going to the bathroom to pull it back up or am uncomfortable by making it so tight that it won't slide. My daughter wears this under leotards during ballet practice and under costumes during performances (as leotards and costumes often don't allow you to wear a regular bra without it being seen) and is very pleased with how it stays up and supports her. I hope they keep making this bra for a long time!” —KiwiZ

Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in band sizes 34–38, cup sizes B–D, and three colors).

6. A minimizer bra that'll minimize your bustline by 1.5 inches, which makes it perfect for those occasions when you want to downsize by a cup or two.

amazon.com

Promising review: “I was skeptical about this one but OMG, this bra is amazing! I'm a size 34D, but I'm very petite so my bust looks extremely large on my frame. For my sister's wedding, I'm wearing a v-neck dress and it's lovely, but I felt like I was spilling out of it. I tried different camisoles and bralettes but nothing looked good with the neckline. I then found this minimizer bra and I am so happy I did! This bra works miracles! The dress looks fantastic and I feel so much more comfortable.This bra is life-changing!” —PinkGem

Get it from Amazon for $21.49+ (available in band sizes 34–42, cup sizes C–DD, and in two colors).

7. A Wacoal bra with a cult following because of its wide size range — they've got options for everyone from a 44C to a 30G and beyond.

Amazon, amazon.com

Promising review: “As a 32G busted woman, I honestly have never been able to find a strapless bra at any store. They either never had my size or the rare store that did, the price was so high that I never felt justified to buy it. After reading the reviews on this, I decided to give it a try. It's definitely worth the price (especially as this is pretty reasonable compared to other prices I've seen in hard to find sizes like mine!) The bra gives great support. The material is very sturdy and has the feel of a very lightly boned corset almost. I've never felt comfortable wearing a strapless bra before.” —Bwaseo007

Get it from Amazon for $40.80+ (available in band sizes 30–44, cup sizes B–I, and three colors).

8. An underwire bandeau that'll provide support, but without the digging and rubbing that can be bothersome from a traditional strapless bra.

Amazon, amazon.com

Promising review: “I am freaking IN LOVE WITH THIS! HOLY CRAP!!! I have NEVER found a bandeau to work for my 34DDD bust. The band is always gigantic or the boob area is entirely too small, it just never works. Well my gosh. I was SO skeptical ordering a medium. I was like there's no way in hell this will work for me. WRONG. It's great. Seriously. It has such stretch and the underwire actually fits too. It won't give you much lift, but it does separate and doesn't squish them to the sides. The band is REALLY stretchy and I have zero issues with it falling down. The fabric is thin so it won't help you much if it's ahem, cold. I still love it though. I'll be ordering in every color.” —Minion

Get it from Amazon for $15.35+ (available in sizes XS–3X and nine colors).

9. A "Stay Put" strapless bra from Soma designed to not move while you move. The spandex lining keeps everything in place, while the contour cups, removable straps, and wire-free design are just major bonuses.

Soma

Promising review: “After giving into the regular wireless bra from Soma, I had to give this a try...and I was NOT disappointed. I wore this under a romper to the beach and it didn’t fall down once even when I was sweating. The band is pretty tight but doesn’t dig in or give you back fat. Highly recommend!" –Tay314

Get it from Soma for $60 (available in band sizes 32–38, cup sizes A–DD, and in two colors).

10. A lace bra with a side closure instead of the traditional mid-back one. Rock this bra with a backless top and all they'll see is pretty lace.

Macy's

Promising review: “This will become a staple strapless in my wardrobe. It's got a great wide lace back that you can show off with low cut shirts in the summer without showing off the hooks to keep the bra on. I love how supported and comfortable I feel in this bra, even though it's a strapless!” —Christina

Get it from Macy's for $44 (available in band sizes 30–38, cup sizes B–DDD, and two colors).

11. A back and side-smoothing strapless bra with wide wings, lightly lined cups, and removable and convertible straps to help you find your perfect fit.

Lane Bryant

Promising review: “Take it from someone who has never been able to wear a strapless bra until I bought this one; this bra is a must have! I usually wear a 44DD and they recommended 46DD and this bra fits amazing." –Daesha 

Get it from Lane Bryant for $48.95 (available in band sizes 34–46, cup sizes B–K, and in two colors).

12. A strapless T-shirt bra made with super soft and stretchy fabric, so you won't see any red indents in your skin at the end of the day. Throw on the removable straps to make it a traditional T-shirt bra, or keep them off and enjoy the classic T-shirt cup fit.

Aerie

Promising review: “I was looking for a strapless bra and found this gem. Versatile and so comfortable. Usually, strapless bras tend to slip down, but this one is the chosen one. The support is great - it's got your back! Couldn't be happier. I bought both colors (beige and black)." –Eva3

Get it from Aerie for $26.97 (originally $44.95; available in band sizes 32–40, cup sizes A–DDD, and in two colors).

13. A roll of athletic tape that acts as a perfect bra replacement for halters and low-cut tops — the kind where a standard bra would inevitably show.

Amazon, amazon.com

Unlike gaffer tape (used by Kim K, which BuzzFeeders discovered hurts), kinesiology tape is made to put directly on your skin, so the removal process is way easier. You should put a bandage or tissue over your nipples before you apply the tape, and be sure to remove slowly. If you have sensitive skin, be sure to do a patch test — wear a small strip somewhere like your arm so you can see if it's going to cause any irritation before the day of your event.

Promising review: “Worked well! I used this product to secure and lift my breasts so that I could wear a wonderful dress. The tape was comfortable, lasted all night in hot and humid weather, and was removed easily with little discomfort." —AK

Get it from Amazon for $7.69+ (available in 19 patterns and colors).

14. A Maidenform strapless bra made with the brand's signature "Stay Up Power Band" ensuring your bra doesn't go anywhere. We want supportive, strapless lift and we want it now!

Target

It comes with removable and convertible straps so you can wear this bra *five* different ways!

Promising review: “I’ve had a lot of strapless bras and none have stayed as well as this. I didn’t have to keep adjusting it and I love the way it fits on the front. I could tell when I put it on that it was supportive and secure. Big fan!" –Lboyle

Get it from Target for $21.99 (available in band sizes 34–40, cup sizes A–DD, and in two colors).

15. A microfiber convertible bra with silicone piping and underwire to comfortably support you no matter how you decide to wear it. Plus, the delicate lace detailing is so pretty.

Torrid

Promising review: “I have always hated strapless bras , they never fit right and dig in the skin. But this one fits so nice , doesn't dig in the sides, and is so comfortable, it holds everything up if you know what I mean. The color is great to it doesn't show through any shirts that you are wearing." –ASHMICHGRR13

Get it from Torrid for $24.75 (originally $49.50; available in band sizes 36–50, cup sizes C–H, and in black). 

16. A comfy wireless strapless bra that's bendable, rollable, moldable, and just about everything-else-able so you never have to worry about it losing its shape (and, by extension, your boobs losing their shape).

Lively

Lively recommends to size up for this bra if you're in between sizes!

Promising review: “Exceptional comfort and not one time during the evening did I have to adjust this strapless bra. It did a great job improving my silhouette yet I forgot it was a strapless, as it never needed to be adjusted during the entire time I had it on." –Nancy

Get it from Lively for $45 (available in band sizes 32–38, cup sizes A–DD, and in four colors).

17. An underwire bra that includes mesh along the sides to keep you cool. Plus, it has silicone along the band to make absolutely sure it stays in place.

Amazon, amazon.com

Promising review: “I am large-busted and haven't bought a strapless bra in years. 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 fit just as expected — not too large or small. It is so comfortable that honestly, I forgot I was wearing a strapless bra after a bit. Also, it stays in place all day, no slipping or tugging. It came at a good price with good quality. I can't recommend this bra highly enough!” —StacieG

Get it from Amazon $25.36+ (available in band sizes 32–46, cup sizes B–H, and in 28 colors).

18. A convertible bra designed to provide a different amount of padding for each cup size, meaning you'll get a custom fit (and lift) that feels tailored to you.

Amazon, instagram.com / Via @maidenform

The straps can be reconfigured in six ways, and the bra is lined with silicone elastics so it won't slip.

Promising review: “Bought this for a wedding where I was wearing a strapless gown, and I'm impressed with the quality. I was the maid of honor so I needed something that was reliable because I didn't want to be seen pulling my bra up all day, and this did not disappoint! I got the 34A which was the perfect fit, and it stayed in place even through dancing — from morning until late night it was solid and I almost forgot I was wearing anything.” —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in band sizes 32–38, cup sizes A–D, and two colors).

19. A plunge bra with foam-lined cups for added comfort and a lower, leotard-style back that helps with secure lift.

amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: “I'm an A cup and it has been very difficult to find bras that fit and enhance what I have. I hate wearing strapless bras usually because they have always felt uncomfortable and flattened me out. This bra is so comfortable that I forget I'm wearing a strapless. The fit is perfect for. There is no gaping space at the top edge reminding me of how little I have to stuff in a bra. The wire does not dig in. The padding gives the perfect shape without the appearance of a padded bra. It looks totally natural.” —Antoinette Simmons

Get it from Amazon for $21.05+ (available in band sizes 32–38, cup sizes A–D, and two colors).

20. A multi-way bra that's ultra supportive and secure. It's silicone-lined at the top to keep it up, and gently contoured through the cups so nothing will poke through.

Nordstrom

Promising review: “This bra is arguably more comfortable than my regular bras. I can wear it all day with no issues. I even forgot a regular bra one day visiting my parents and had to go with this strapless bra while working 13 hours as a nurse (i.e. running around all day and in multiple positions) without a problem. I noticed no difference. I LOVE IT! Finally a comfortable strapless bra.” —llgag

Get it from Nordstrom for $48 (available in band sizes 30–36, cup sizes B–DD, and two colors).

21. A molded lace bra designed with a deep plunge so you can wear it under all the v-necks and low-cut tops in your closet.

Amazon, amazon.com

Promising review: “I wouldn't typically write a review on such an intimate product, but I just feel like other women who have the same issue (D+ cup size) need to know about this bra. It doesn't slide down, it feels super supportive, and it doesn't look ridiculous. My only complaint is that the lining isn't seamless, so if you wear really tight clothing, you run the risk of someone seeing the outline of your bra. But I am in love. I bought this because I was going on a tropical vacation and all the pretty dresses these days require strapless bras lol. It was humid, I was sweating, and it still stayed up. BUY THIS BRA! You won't regret it!” —Anonymous

Get it from Amazon for $23.92+ (available in band sizes 32–42, cup sizes A–F, and 14 colors).

22. A stretch cotton bra that has a wide band — complete with four hooks! — that'll be un-bra-lievably comfortable and will stay up no matter what.

Nordstrom

It's also silicone-lined and comes with convertible straps.

Promising review: “Didn’t believe this bra could be as comfortable as bloggers claimed it was, but I was SO wrong! It is without a doubt the most comfortable strapless bra I have ever worn. I no longer pause to choose a dress/top that requires a strapless bra! It is pricy, but how do you put a price on comfort? And I’m sure it will last a long time. It is well-constructed and fits true to size.” —Hudd18

Get it from Nordstrom for $64 (available in band sizes 32-36, cup sizes B-DDD, and two sizes).

23. A lace bra with hidden underwire that provides extra support and definition. You'll never have to worry about the dreaded uni-boob again.

Amazon, amazon.com

Promising review: “This is the most comfortable strapless bra I've ever worn! I had it on all day today and never once did I want to tear it off of me, as I have had to do with every other strapless bra I've ever worn. The bra stayed up all day with no tugging or adjusting required. It's super soft, fits true to size and comes with straps which you can attach any way you want to.” —Sylvia M.

Get it from Amazon for $42.99+ (available in band sizes 32-40, cup sizes B-DDD, and two colors).

24. A soft, foldable strapless bra that takes a lot of the guesswork out of buying a bra online. Their home try-on program lets you wear the bras risk-free before you commit to a purchase.

Harper Wilde

Plus, this bra is BuzzFeeder-approved: see why one of our editors loves this bra so much (#5 at the link).

Promising review: “I had my doubts about whether this bra was actually going to be better than my other ones, but it lives up to its reputation!! Band and cups fit great and absolutely no slippage throughout the day. Awesome product!!” —Meeann D.

Get it from Harper Wilde for $40 (available in band sizes 32-40, cup sizes A-DD, and four colors).

25. A convertible push-up bra designed to provide plenty of lift with or without the straps. Let us now rejoice in the fact seemingly opposite bra qualities like 'push-up' and 'strapless' can now live in harmony.

Aerie

Promising review: "I've been looking for a nude strapless bra for a loonngg time, but always had issues with support and comfort. This one fits really well and provides lots of support while showing minimal material. The bottom trim is also super cute. I'm so relieved that my search is now over!" –MochiMochi

Get it from Aerie for $23.97 (originally $39.95; available in band sizes 30–40, cup sizes AA–DD, and in two colors). 

26. And a super handy silicone adhesive bra that's got you ~covered~ when you're wearing your favorite slinky, strapless, and backless number. A little bit coverage with a ton of support, lift, and convenience!

amazon.com, Amazon

The bra also comes with a set of matching nipple covers for some added coverage.

Promising review: "I love it — especially the fact that it clasps together because it gives the breasts a little more support and cleavage. I've worn them twice so far, each time lasting over six hours so, in my opinion, that's good. I washed it with soap and water and it maintained the adhesive. I don't know how many more times I can wear it but so far I like it. It looks good with spaghetti strap dresses." –Aly

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in cup sizes A–F and in four colors).
