Best Bras for Older Women With Busts of All Sizes, Including Options To Sleep In

Buy from Amazon, starting at $20

A bra revolution comes in the form of this Bali Comfort bralette. It’s got all the comfy features you’d expect from this non-conventional style, including stretchy, moisture wicking-fabric and wire-free coverage, but still offers the lift your ladies so desperately need. 

Happy customer: “I bought two of these for my elderly mother, who had vertebral compression fractures. The bras are soft and gentle. There are no underwires or hooks that dig into the skin. She can get them on and off easily. They provide her with some support and an extra layer of warmth. Not as supportive as a sport bra, but perfect for daily activities. Washes well on delicate cycle. She is a 36-DD and is quite happy with the purchase. At Bare Necessities low price, this was a great buy.”

This soft, seamless bra is made with stretchy, silky fabric and a ribbed band, so it supports you without an underwire digging in. Sewn-in cups keep everything in place, and a three-hook fastener in the back provides plenty of structure. This bra is comfortable enough to wear all day and comes in five different colors, so you can have one for each day of the week.

Happy customer: “I’m not someone who likes going without a bra, even when I’m working from home. My Bravado provides the perfect amount of support so I feel comfortable, and it never pinches or digs in. It’s well-made, stands up to being tossed in the washing machine, and is super cute, to boot!”

Buy from ThirdLove, $72

There’s nothing more annoying than having to constantly fix your bra straps. That’s not an issue, however, when it comes to this best bra from Third Love. The pleated straps are not only pretty to catch a peek at, but also prevent slipping. A hidden double layered back smooth bulges, and the ultra thin memory foam cups molds to the shape of the chest. Third Love guarantee a perfect fit, so if you’re not happy with sizing, send the bra within 60 days to get your money back. The top rated rated bra comes in more than 12 colors and prints, and goes up to size 44 H.

Buy from QVC, $25

If you’re not a fan of wire but need a boost, go for this wirefree bra from Jockey. Featuring breathable, molded cups, the bra conforms to curves and smooths bulges. We love the infinity underband and the support it gives, plus how stretchy the material feels. The straps are adjustable and the back has a four hook and eye-closures to keep the bra securely in place, so even if you need to dash to the corner store, you’ll remain jiggle-free. Available in a variety of vibrant colors, this is great for under your favorite tee or sweater.

Promising review: “The most comfortable bras I have ever worn. I can wear them over 10 hours a day. [They’re] very pretty as well.”

If you don’t like strapless bras, we get it. They constantly have to be readjusted, slip — all the things you don’t want to deal with. However, according to thousands of reviewers, this 24/7 Classic Strapless Bra from ThirdLove is amazing. It doesn’t slip, budge or commit a single fashion faux pas. The interior top and bottom have a silicone grip, and the no-spill cups have memory foam. They’re thin, so they won’t distort your natural lovely shape, and the underwire doesn’t dig into the skin. If you’re not 100 percent convinced, the bra does come with two sets of straps (one clear, the other black) that can be attached when needed. However, we really don’t think you’ll need them.

Happy customer: “I have never had a comfortable and truly supportive strapless bra until this one!…This is so SOFT, smoothing (didn’t even show under silk), and kept my breasts up all night under a slip dress.”

Buy from Bare Necessities, starting at $52

It’s not always easy to find bras that are both pretty and supportive, which is why we love the Keira Satin Side Support Bra. It features a higher center to keep breasts separated, which helps to prevent creating a boxy shape. It also reduces chest sweat — something none of us want to take care of when we’re out running errands. The back strap has three columns with two row hook and eye closures, and the five-part cup gives lift without stretching the cups out. Our favorite thing, however, is the semi-sheer top and bow. Also, the bra comes in a multitude of gorgeous colors, so you’re sure to find one that’s up your alley.

Buy from Springrose, $75

Springrose believes every woman deserves beautiful, comfortable, and functional intimates. The brand’s signature front-closing, wireless bra is soft, yet supportive and can be put on multiple ways to adapt to your dressing needs. Designed with thoughtful features to make getting dressed a breeze. Springrose is flexible for a wide range of conditions, features patent-pending technology, non-toxic fabrics, is supportive without wires, and is thoughtfully designed and expertly crafted. 

Happy customer: “On my quest for a new bra after bi-lateral shoulder replacements in 2023, I am thankful that I discovered Springrose! After wearing a cami with a shelf bra since my first shoulder replacement in April 2023, I was looking for a bra with a front closure and easy to put on. Although my post-op recovery is going very well, there are naturally some range-of-motion limitations with shoulder replacement. I also have mobility limitations following 5 back surgeries (fused T12-S1) & a hip replacement.”

Buy from SKIMS, $28

How many times have you avoided buying a top or dress because you knew it would require a strapless bra? We have. The slipping, the tugging, the digging — who needs it? Fortunately, these horrors are non-issues with this strapless bra from SKIMS. The Bandeau style of this best bra for older woman hugs the body for budge-proof support. It’s seamless too, making it perfect for form fitting sleeveless dresses or tanks. Happy customers recommend sizing down if you’re in between sizes.

If you’re looking for a lift, you’ll love this bra from Natori. Its underwire shelf elevates while offering comfortable support, and the sweetheart neckline makes it ideal for tees, low cut tanks or sweaters. The cups are on the thicker side — again, great for tees or thin blouses, and we love the scalloped lace. Available in the colors black, and cameo rose. Sizes go from 32B to 36DDD.

Buy from Amazon, starting at $15

With lift panels for natural shaping, this wire-free, soft bra offers up just as much, if not more, support, than its wired counterparts.

Happy customer: “I don’t usually buy bras without trying them on but well, the world is different now. I am very pleased with this bra. It is very comfortable & I didn’t feel like I had to get out of if as soon as I got home. Will definitely buy again!”

This bra is equipped with “Magic Rings” technology, which consists of lifting cups and side support. An X-shape at the back is meant to improve posture, while comfy, adjustable cushioned straps help to ensure the right fit. Most importantly, however, there’s a five-hook front closure that makes it highly wearable for all users. 

Happy customer: “These are very comfortable. So comfortable that I forgot to take it off when I got ready for bed!”

Buy from Soma, $35

This sleep bra contains Naia™, a fully traceable, biobased fiber responsibly sourced from sustainably managed pine and eucalyptus forests and produced in a closed-loop process in the United States. But we also love how easy it is to take on and off and the buttery-soft fabric that’s so comfortable, you won’t have to.

Happy customer: “I bought this a month ago, 38D I got a large. It’s SO COMFORTABLE!! I want another one.“

Great deal!

This strapless bra top is ideal for off-shoulder, one-shoulder, and halter styles, providing both support and style. If you have a small bust but refer to rock an underwire bra, you’ll want to order one of these in every color.

Happy customer: “I am a soft 36D, meaning my ladies swing low with their fullness at the bottom not the top of my breast. This strapless bra gives me surprising lift without constricting my chest. Haven’t worn it all day yet but with what I’ve seen and felt this bra is going to be my Go-to strapless. The medium was the best size for me.“

Buy from Bare Necessities, starting at $35

Side support panels, in addition to double-layer underwire cups, make this adjustable strap bra one of the best options for lifting and shaping around. Choose from 11 colors and cup sizes up to K (make sure to use the bra size conversion chart, as these bras are listed in UK sizing).

Happy customer: “I’m 73 years old so I’ve had a lot of different bras over the years. I was at Nordstrom for a bra fitting which, I strongly suggest every woman do it, and this bra was recommended for me. I am a 38 GG. I have been buying this bra for about three years now and it’s the best! Great support and coverage of the breast.”

Buy from Amazon, $40

Built for performance, this MIRITY sports bra provides all the elevation necessary for your larger girls while still remaining super comfortable, thanks to its soft, stretchy, breathable fabric. It’s got ventilation pads for cooling, a wide racer back and removable pads that can be added or removed for support as needed.  

Happy customer: “These sports bras are GREAT! I purchased one and promptly ordered a three pack because they are so amazing! They are super soft, wear well and the fit is great. They are very comfortable while also having enough support. I find it hard to find a supportive yet comfortable sports bra to fit a plus size women and these do the trick! Definitely recommend to anyone who has been searching for the perfect sports bra!”

Another wire-free, yet supportive, option comes in the form of this front-closure support bra from Cottonique. Instead, it’s got vertical seams at the cups and an elastic under band for an additional boost. Those with sensitive skin will also love its hypoallergenic, 100 percent organic cotton fabric and latex-free, elastic straps.  

Happy customer: “Being allergic to spandex and latex, I could not find any bras that were truly 100 percent cotton until I found this one. It is so comfortable and yet gives excellent support, I can pull it over my head or clasp it in front with strong clasps. I never need to adjust it during the day. They wash beautifully and I line dry it. I ordered two and plan to order two more.”

This sports bra also works well for post-surgery. The front zipper makes it simple to get on and off, and it offers great support. Many happy customers on Amazon report buying more than one after discovering how comfortable it is as they recovery from breast reconstruction. The affordable bra is made from a combo of nylon and spandex, light and offers a chafe-free experience, which exactly what the doctor ordered when you’re recovering. The cups can be taken out, and three bras come in a single pack.

Happy customer: “Once I had mastectomy surgery this had to stay in place for 24 hours. Switched between the [three] for about 4 weeks. You can see the little zipper cover through tops but that’s not a deal breaker. They didn’t put pressure on my scar area on the right side of my rib cage which was a huge dea,l and kept everything from moving, which helped minimized pain.These are comfortable enough to sleep in.”
