"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

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.

24/7 Perfect Coverage Bra

With more than 27,000 ratings, ThirdLove's Perfect Coverage Bra is the most reviewed style on our list. Glowing reviews praise the precise half-sizes and thick straps that lend plenty of support. Cups including an ultra-thin memory foam layer are an added, and comfortable, bonus. No wonder dozens of reviewers say they own more than one.

Band sizes: 32–44

Cup sizes: B–H

Colors: Black, taupe, pink, white, moss, mocha, and more

What reviewers are saying: "It’s really tough to find a bra that is comfortable and also supportive when you are a 32H, but this bra is just that. I’m excited that based on a short survey the size ended up being correct and I have no spillage!"

Sunnie Full Coverage Lightly Lined Bra

Aerie's Sunnie bra is another solid everyday option, with scalloped lace trimming for a flirty touch. Comfort-enhancing features are everywhere on this bra, from the cloudlike soft fabric on the cups to the four hook-and-eye closures and adjustable straps.

Cup sizes: A–DDD

Band sizes: 30–42

Colors: Shell grey, navy, pebble, green, black

What reviewers are saying: "This bra is amazing, comfortable soft and has full coverage. The minute I put it on I fell in love with how it enhanced my curves."

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."

Smooth Full Coverage Bra

This bra lifts and shapes with ease, thanks to features like padded straps and a pinch-free underwire. Soma's smoothing fabric also disappears completely under clothes—it's almost like magic.

Band sizes: 32–44

Cup sizes: B–G

Colors: Rose, sienna, amber, black

What reviewers are saying: "Needed good support but all day comfort. This bra does both plus it has great side coverage. Will buy again"

Invisible Swim Bra

Staying supported while wearing your favorite swimsuit? It's now possible with this smart swim bra from shapewear-meets-swimwear brand Stylest.

Colors: Black, tornado, praline

What reviewers are saying: "I can’t believe how hot this bra is while also being a minimizer. It works really well and also gives me a push up look. Love it."

Organic Cloud Cotton Bra

If you want pulling on a bra to feel like floating on to your own personal cloud, you've come to the right place.

Band size: 32–44

Cup size: A–H

Colors: Sea salt, black

What reviewers are saying: "LOVE this bra! Bought it in a different color, fell in love, and ordered another one. This one is just as wonderful! Comfortable, unobtrusive, good support and does (as promised) stay invisible under my shirts. Thanks for solving my 'need a good bra' problem!"

Comfort Evolution Bra

When comfort is your highest priority, go for this wireless triangle bra by Hanes. It has wider straps and a wider band for maximum support, plus unlined cups that shape without the pinching effect of an underwire.

Sizes: S–3XL

Colors: Black, nude, grey

What reviewers are saying: "This is probably the most comfortable bra I’ve ever worn. You can barely feel it. I’m 170 pounds 5”4 and wear a 36DDD and ordered the large which was a perfect fit. I got the nude but will definitely be ordering the black as well. It gives just enough support to my girls."

C Magnifique Minimizer Bra

If you're searching for a minimizer bra, this Chantelle version reduces breast sizes by up to one inch. The bounce-minimizing design won't pinch or squeeze, though. While the smoothing wings and lightly padded cups reduce unwanted volume, they're also guaranteed to be soft and secure.

WonderWire Bra

Here's a front-clasp bra for easy-on, easy-off dressing. It's also made with Glamorise's signature WonderWire, padded underwire that supports without poking. In short: This is one of the most comfortable bras for large breasts you'll find anywhere.

Band sizes: 34–48

Cup sizes: B–H

Colors: Black, navy, red, blush, lilac

What reviewers are saying: "I’m a big chested girl so I was a little [leery] of a front clasp but gave it a try. I love how it closes and have not had a problem at all with any kind of wear! And the difference in straps still fits well and supports when needed!"

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."

Fits Everybody Scoop Neck Bralette

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.

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

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

What reviewers are saying: "I am a 32G and have a very hard time finding a good fit. I have been buying this bra for years. Sometimes I want another style to have a selection, but nothing else is as comfortable. I basically just wear this bra."

Revolution Bra

Thousands of reviewers are obsessed with this plunge bra from Knix. It uses a proprietary 3-D-printed fabric to stabilize, smooth, and ultimately, accentuate your chest. The fabric is silky and lighter than air, yet it reduces bounce and discomfort.

Band sizes: 30–44

Cup sizes: B–DDD

Colors: Black, tan

What reviewers are saying: "I have spent the better part of my life searching for my perfect bra. I have found it with the Wacoal Red Carpet Strapless Bra. This bra is perfect.

I don't have to adjust anything. It's wonderful. Wacoal really makes the best bras in the world. Thank you for making me feel comfortable and happy."

Never Say Never Super Curvy Sweetie Bralette

Cosabella's best-selling Never Say Never bralette was recently reimagined to hit the sweet spot for women with large cup sizes but small band sizes. The lace always lays flat, whether you wear a G cup or an I cup. Meanwhile, mesh cups and a covert underband give a gentle lift.

Colors: Black, tan, white, pink, blue, lime green, and more

What reviewers are saying: "Thrilled that Cosabella now has the super curvy size option—the small fits my 32GGs perfectly. Great fabric, feels like it's going to last a while (been wearing it every day for a month). Nice boob shape."

Molly Full Figure Underwire Nursing Bra

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.
