Strapless bras for large breasts
After chatting with a bra expert, testing a bunch of styles ourselves, and consulting anonymous testers, the editors of Women's Health have complied a strong list of the 12 best strapless bras for large breasts based on comfort, fit, and support. Along the way, we learned there are a few important aspects to consider before picking a bra online—keep reading to learn more.
What to consider
Support
What is the trick to strapless bras, you might ask? “Large-busted women need support and separation most of all,” says Jenny Altman, a bra expert who runs bra review blog ILoveAGood. According to her, that most likely means opting for a bra with an underwire. She adds that the bras to wear for large breasts are typically wired with covered or padded channels so the wire is soft.
If you prefer a wire-free bra, though, make sure it offers support through its stitching or fabric. Other support options on this list include side boning, silicone strips (these hold the girls in place without a physical wire), interior molding in the cups, and even adhesive stickers to keep your breasts in place.
Materials
Most strapless bras on this list are made out of nylon, spandex, and elastane. These are highly stretchy fibers that are known for keeping their shape even after being stretched out. If you want something that's a bit more breathable and airy (we know strapless bras can trap in heat!), opt for a bra made from cotton like the Natori option on this list. Cotton also makes the bra super soft and cozy.
Size
It can be hard to shop for bras online because of inconsistent sizing, but our biggest tip is to get fitted for a strapless bra in a store before shopping online. This way, you'll know your size range before you start browsing online, instead of guessing or measuring yourself at home. It's also a good idea to try on a few different brands in-store after being fitted to ensure your size is consistent across different styles. The brands on our list offer a wide range of sizes, so once you know your measurements, shopping should be much easier.
