Every woman knows how important it is to have a good bra. Not only do bras keep everything place, but they also provide essential support that help improve your posture, look, and overall comfort.
What Do Underwire Bras Do?
Those with big boobs and prefer more structure from their bras always opt for styles with underwires. They contour to the natural shape of the bust and are designed to bring your weight closer to the front, while also slightly lifting them upwards. They cover the entire chest, which also helps give the breasts a lift and that desirable round shape.
Best Underwire Bras
But, underwire bras can be extremely uncomfortable–like, to the point where the pain is unbearable. If you’re tired of bad underwire bras ruining your day, here are some of the best-rated and most comfortable underwire bras available that will help give you a boost without any pain:
Olga Women's Signature Support Satin Bra ($14.99)
This bra is lightly padded and features an underwire for enhanced comfort and side support while its soft fabric cups provide ultimate comfort. It's also designed with a comfort back that prevents the straps from slipping.
Promising Reviews:
"These are my absolute favorite bras. The underwire has a thin layer of cushion on it, which greatly increases the comfort. The cups are double layered, but they aren’t padded, so be prepared for a bit of nip show in certain circumstances. The shoulder straps are wide and comfortable. I’m currently in a 40DDD, so anytime I find a comfortable bra, I latch onto them!" - Jennifer
"I found an Olga bra in a -ahem- discount store and bought it on impulse. When I took it home and examined it, I was blown away. These bras are put together like the Queen's wedding dress! Every seam is hidden; there are no visible stitches and no odd edges to irritate your skin. When I tried it on, I found that it was as comfortable as it was good-looking (and we're talking under-wire here - D cup)." - Lynn Gallagher
"Bras have always been a problem. My least favorite thing to shop for. I bought a new bra from a friends boutique and fell in love with it. So straight to Amazon, I came searching. What I found out was that the particular bra's model number no longer existed. It had been changed very slightly and had a new number. So I got it and love it. It's soft and comfortable and doesn't leave dentations in my shoulders. It also stays put. I ended up getting a couple more because I love it that much." - wlw2662
Natori Hidden Glamour Full-Fit Contour Underwire Bra ($25.48)
This bra uses stretch foam cups to give a natural shape to your bust and a rave back to support and shape your body. Its nylon/spandex outer cover is light and comfortable and will help you stay supported all day long.
Promising Reviews:
"Great bra! I have been buying this style of bra from Natori since they came out a few years ago. The material is very soft and the bra is extremely comfortable. The material has some give and the lace detail is pretty. I really wanted a bra that would lift, without being a push-up, was lined, and did't show up under a t-shirt and it fit the bill perfectly. The shape of the bra is very natural and not pointy or "shaped" like many lined bras. I also have one side that is slightly larger than the other and with this bra you can't even tell, as this bra is pretty smoothed out at the top and blends with your chest. Only negative that I've noticed is that depending on the color, the band size may be a little snugger or looser, but still comfortable." - CNS
"This bra I found and was fitted at Nordstroms. I bought two last year in just boring skin color but saw this one on Amazon and for less, a lot less unless at their sale, than Nordstrom. These bras are so comfortable for a small framed large busted person. Most bras that fit me are UGLY but this is very attractive and not made for a 90-year-old. I love this light green color! It is nice they come in a 32 or 34 DDD AND larger." - Hygienegirl
"A little tight around the band but still comfortable after wearing all day long. The straps are definitely long enough for my low bust and the cups fit close-set breasts perfectly. Most of the bras are too full on the outside and I fall out in the middle. I ordered this bra because it was the top-rated bra in a recent Good Housekeeping review and am glad I did. I don't know why other manufacturers can't get it right like Natori did." - ConspicuousConsumer
Warner's This is Not a Bra Full-Coverage Underwire Bra ($19.19)
This underwire bra offers full-coverage with its hook & eye closure, satin comfort wire system, and adjustable straps. Together, they prevent spillover, digging, and poking. It was even voted "The Most Comfortable Bra" by New York Magazine!
Promising Reviews:
"What a nice surprise. I was skeptical and don't have good luck finding reasonably priced full-figured bras. When I saw the padding I was so disappointed, after all, I'm already a DD and don't need to be able to be any larger. I was all set to return both bras and up decided to try one on first and wow! The fit was great, they are comfortable and the padding makes me looks very nice. My books are now where they should be and my shirts look better. I just bought 2 more." - Midwest Mom
"I chose this bra from a "most comfortable bras" list posted on a fashion blog and would agree with other reviewers who have rated it highly. The padded underwire is a big plus as is the padding around the back fasteners. It's a good bra to wear under tees and other close-fitting tops as it creates a smooth, bulge-free profile." - Cecilia P.
"This is by far one of the most comfortable and affordable bras I've ever worn. I can't wait till more patterns and colors are available on here in my size! I wear a 34DD and this bra provides excellent support! The padded underwires are SUPER comfortable. I don't know why every company doesn't pad the wire! It makes a world of a difference!! The straps never slip and the band is perfectly sized." - Jade
Warner's Women's Cloud 9 Underwire Contour Bra ($12.98)
This full-coverage bra features contoured underwire cups with a small keyhole at the center and back-smoothing panels for a sleek look under clothes.
Promising Reviews:
"Fit perfectly and so comfortable that I ordered a second one!" - Kit Cat
"The softest, most comfortable, perfectly fitting bra ever. And at this price, I hope they start offering them in more colors!" - Brigette Supernova
"Lightweight and comfy. Foam cups work for T-shirts. No back fat. These replaced the Warner No Side Effects of the same size and I find the Cloud 9 much more comfortable and less binding." - Jean
