If you're sometimes stumped by online bra shopping, you can also use our guide to figuring out your bra sizing and compare with the size charts available on Amazon. The range of bra sizes available for each option are listed below. Many of the bras we found with large numbers of reviews were wire-free or entirely unlined, so keep that in mind as you're shopping!
1. A Playtex wire-free bra
Reviews: 57,803
Sizes: 34C to 48DDD
If you prefer to wear bras that are unlined, but still provide ample support, check out the Playtex 18-hour Ultimate Life bra. The bra—which has over 37,000 5-star reviews—has thick straps for comfort and is available in 12 different colors. You can purchase them in packs of two, in the event that the bra becomes the staple item for you many reviewers claimed it became for them.
2. A full-coverage, stretchy bra
Reviews: 34,408
Sizes: XS to 3XL
Maybe the idea of wearing wired bras has lost its luster during the pandemic, or maybe you simply prefer to be comfy. Whatever the reason, if you're on the hunt for a totally wire-free bra that will stretch to fit and hold your shape, the Warner's Easy Does It bra may be for you. The bra comes with hook and eye clasps and a scooping back, as well as shaping side panels for extra security. As one reviewer noted, the Easy Does It bra "supports and covers in all the right places."
3. A supportive sports bra with 19,813 5-star reviews
Reviews: 29,704
Sizes: XS to 3XL
The Running Girl sports bra is one of the best sports bras we found at Amazon. Available in more than 35 colors, including some all-in-one bra tank top options, the bra comes with a latticed back and a thick elastic support band beneath the bust for extra security. Reviewers were impressed with the bra's supportive design—several reviewers with larger bust sizes gave the bra glowing reviews, while noting that individuals with smaller bust sizes should size down for the best fit.
4. A soft, lightly lined neutral
Reviews: 37,579
Sizes: 34C to 44DDD
If you're in the market for a full-coverage bra that can give you ample support without the uncomfortable press of underwire, the Vanity Fair Full Figure Beauty bra with lined cups and a shaping back might do the trick. Reviewers were enamored with the comfortable fit of the bra and the support offered by the wide, stretchy straps.
5. A t-shirt bra designed to prevent spillage
Reviews: 13,937
Sizes: 34A to 40C
The Warner's t-shirt bra with light lining and side-smoothing panels comes in a variety of neutral shades, from pale cream to cool lavender. Several reviews noted that the bra was great for moderating spillage during wear, and many people mentioned that the straps were easy to adjust for your preferred fit.
6. A keyhole-detailed bra with shaping side panels
Reviews: 18,613
Sizes: 34B to 42C
Another well-reviewed entry from Warner's, the No Side Effects contouring bra has a lot of the same qualities as the other Warner's bra we found, but comes with a keyhole detail between the cups and more color options like rose and teal blue. Reviewers were highly impressed with the longevity of the bra's elastic chest band and overall coverage. If you're worried about the relatively small size range, several reviewers mentioned that the cup sizes ran high, so you might be able to find your size by examining the size chart rather than relying on the sizes as written.
7. An underwire bra with lace details
Reviews: 17,593
Sizes: 32C to 42D
The Maidenform One Fab Fit bra is one of the few affordable underwire bras to rack up a large amount of reviews on Amazon, with 11,390 5-star reviews and glowing recommendations from reviewers thanks to its supportive design and shaping cups. The bra comes in neutral shades as well as fun colors like plum, teal, sage green and pink.
8. A cozy, unlined sports bra
Reviews: 65,319
Sizes: 32 to 44
If you've been eagerly consuming this season of Love Island and cute, comfy sleeping bras and tops are on your mind, check out this simple sports bra. Available in over 11 different colors and in packs of two and three, these Fruit of the Loom unpadded bras are reviewer favorites, with a whopping 45,698 5-star reviews. There are several different versions of the bra within the listing, including some with spaghetti straps and others with more secure wide straps, so be sure to confirm what you're adding to your cart.
9. An elegant, full-coverage bra with mesh details
Reviews: 28,381
Sizes: 34B to 42DD
Boasting mesh panels, side support and two-part underwire cups, this highly rated bra from Bali One is great for everyday wear. The only apparent downside lies in the lack of higher cup sizes (there are a wide range of band sizes, though, if sizing up through increases in band size works for you).
10. A longline bra that doubles as a top
Reviews: 21,876
Sizes: XS to XXL
Love working out in a bra-style top, but looking for something with a little more coverage? The Gym People longline sports bra comes in a cropped tank style with sweat-wicking, elastic fabric and a padded bra top. The top comes in 14 different colors and was a reviewer standout for its slim, flattering cut. Several people noted that it could serve as a dupe more expensive sports bras.
