There’s one golden rule to keep in mind when searching for the best bras for big boobs, according Tania Garcia, director of fit at the intimates brand CUUP. “The more comfortable the bra,” she says, “the more supported, confident, and sexy you will feel.”

Anyone who's been to a bra fitting room knows the truth of her words. Bras for large breasts are shop-worthy when they enhance your shape, yet feel like nothing's there—a tough feat in a world of extra padding and pinching underwires. After tapping into Garcia’s expertise and consulting thousands of shopper reviews and recommendations, we found the 25 best bras for large breasts that have comfort in common. From sports bras that support during high impact workouts, to smoothing minimizer bras and strapless bras that actually stay put, each bra ahead is crafted with a specific purpose and special details that lift, shape, and support large chests with ease. (And, crucially, they look good doing so.) High-performance details like power mesh, memory foam, and padded underwires will gently lift and shape your chest, while soft, buttery fabrics keep the skin happy. The end result: A bra that makes getting dressed easier, not harder or more uncomfortable.

Whether you’re putting on a backless fall dress for a party or running errands in your jeans and best white T-shirt, there’s a bra that can comfortably support you all day—without the digging wires or slipping straps of the past. Ahead, shop the 25 best bras for big boobs, from CUUP to ThirdLove, Victoria's Secret, SKIMS, and beyond.

Teardrop Push-Up Bra

Skims' first push-up bra was released in 2023 and set out to revitalize the category. While the cups have some extra padding, their teardrop shape intends to lift while enhancing your breasts' natural shape. Wings along the band also provide smoothing on the sides, and the concealed underwire is padded for comfort. Bottom line: This isn't the push-up bra of your past. It's one you'll actually want to wear.

Band sizes: 30–44

Cup sizes: A–F

Colors: Onyx, cocoa, sienna, sand, mica, and more

What reviewers are saying: "This bra should be called 'The Goddess Bra' because I have the breasts of a goddess when I wear it. I'm 44 years old, and I've been a 32D for my entire adult life. I wasn't looking for a push-up bra, but I was intrigued by the reviews that talked about how this bra works with your natural breast shape and can help give back some of the fullness and lift that you might lose as you get older. I found this bra does all that and more. It makes my breasts look absolutely incredible. And while it does make them look larger, it's the most natural looking push-up bra I've ever seen. I was stunned when I tried it on for the first time, and honestly couldn't stop staring because I was in disbelief- it's one of the most perfect bras I've ever worn."

Second Skin Back Smoother T-Shirt Bra

For a bra that glides on under basic T-shirts and tank tops, Le Mystère is one of our editors' favorites. Between the memory foam cups and the smoothing straps, it's a bra that's comfortable enough to wear all day (and night).

Band sizes: 30–40

Cup sizes: B–G

Colors: Lipstick, black, natural, pink, and more

What reviewers are saying: "This bra is soo soft yet still very supportive! Very comfortable and smooths the back. Great price. Fits true to size and the straps don’t budge throughout the day. Would definitely repurchase. Comparable to the Skims t-shirt bra."

The name doesn't exaggerate. SKIMS's ultra-soft bralettes are comfortable at any size, including large busts. There's no digging underwire or pinching hook-eye closures to be found, just smooth fabric and pillowy adjustable straps. Take a page from Ashley Graham's book and try wearing one under a transparent, glittery top from the Skims x Swarovski collection— this level of comfort is worth showing off.

Sizes: XXS–4X

Colors: Onyx, espresso, cocoa, bronze, sienna, and more

What reviewers are saying: "As a large-chested woman (36D) I have a really difficult time finding anything without wire that will support me and be comfortable. This definitely does the trick, I need about 283,783 more of these!"

Rive Gauche Bra

Three-part cup bras expertly place vertical and horizontal seams to gently lift large breasts while also shaping them. Chantelle's take is the best we've found. Power mesh on the top section gently smooths and contains large chests, while the bottom cup's stretch knit lining adds extra support.

Band sizes: 32–40

Cup sizes: D–H

Colors: Black, rose

Molly Full Figure Underwire Nursing Bra

Finding bras in larger sizes is hard enough; finding bras during the changes of pregnancy and nursing can be even more challenging. Many new and experienced parents have found their go-to nursing bras at Elomi, which has one of the largest size runs of any bra brand. Special features for near-effortless nursing include quick-release clips for easier access and three-part cups for extra support.

Band sizes: 32–44

Cup sizes: F–KK

Colors: Black, rose

What reviewers are saying: "This is my 5th underwire nursing bra and by far the most comfortable and supportive. The fabric is soft and supportive and I love the way the clip down piece comes all the way down and does not warp the underwire. I am a 38H right now and find it hard to find bras to fit. I was surprised that this one is a perfect fit."

Frequently Asked Questions

What bra shape is best for large busts?

The best bra shape for large busts is not the same at every size. Instead, it depends on the support and effect you're looking for, combined with the natural shape of your bust. If your breasts are wider-set, a plunge bra may be better for you. If you want a lifting and separating effect, try a balconette bra. Each of our top picks above specifies the cut and shape of the bra and how it typically fits.

How should a bra fit?

No matter your specific cup or band size, the following details will help you tell whether your bra really fits—or whether you're wearing the wrong size.

  • The cups will lie flat against your breast without gaping or extra space.

  • The band will sit flat against your body the entire way around. It will not excessively dig into your skin, but you shouldn't be able to slide fingers underneath it.

  • If you're wearing an underwire style, the underwires will not dig into your chest or sternum.

Is an underwire bra better for large breasts?

Lingerie and bra experts agree: Underwire bras are usually recommended for people with large busts. These designs have better support and lifting properties versus wireless styles. But underwire bras aren't uncomfortable like they used to be: Many of the best large bras for large breasts are now made with covert padding along the underwire to avoid pinching or digging.
