Having a bigger bust can be both a blessing and a curse. Sure, a fuller buxom can bring on lots of admiration, but it can also bring shoulder pain, back pain, and the absolute chore of finding a well-fitting bra. The best bras for big boobs should achieve the often-elusive trifecta that most of the best lingerie brands have already mastered: being supportive, comfortable, and cute. So before you resign yourself to a lifetime of minimizer bras to keep from uni-boobing under all of your favorite fall sweaters, read on.
“For so long we’ve been taught to think our boobs were the problem when all along it’s really been bad bras,” says Ra’el Cohen, co-founder and chief creative officer of ThirdLove. “Every person will have their own unique criteria for what makes a bra fantastic, but it ultimately comes down to looking and feeling your best.”
“A customer with a larger chest should never have to choose function over style,” adds Tracy Freno, senior manager of customer service at Bare Necessities. “Breast shapes and sizing can differ from woman to woman, so even among women who fall under the ‘big bust’ category, a certain style of bra might prove to be more comfortable and supportive to one woman’s shape as opposed to another.” With that in mind, Cohen and Freno both suggest being patient with yourself and keeping your options—and mind—open. “What works best for someone will depend on their unique breast shape, size, and needs…take the time to consider which style fits you, your life, and your style the best,” Cohen says.
At the end of the day, though, “the best bras for large busts are both stylish and comfy while also offering great support,” adds Dionne Thompson, director of design, intimates and innovation at Torrid.
Below are 23 of the best bras for big boobs in different styles for every occasion. We covered our bases with brands that cater to both full-busted (i.e. smaller band size with larger cup size) and full-figured (larger band and cup sizes) shoppers. Additionally, we scoured customer reviews and top-rated styles to find the best of the best and spoke with our experts to answer even more of your pressing big boob bra questions.

Customer review: “I’ve been wearing this bra for about two years now. It’s probably the first bra that has provided uplift and support for my DDD size without hauling up the straps so tight they put grooves in my shoulders.”
Whether you’re a new parent or a pro at nursing, this simple, easy-to-reach snap bra will give you easy access. It includes spacer foam-lined underwire cups, an adjustable back, and power mesh side panels for stretch. Plus, the lacy hem accent adds a delicate detail.

Customer review: “I bought this bra late in my nursing journey for my first baby and loved it. I’ve tried a few and nothing else compares.

Compressive enough for cardio
Cons
Trim might feel scratchy or uncomfortable

Flattering
Cons
Might dig into your sides
Elomi did not come to play with this satin bra. Created to work in favor of those with larger boobs, this bra comes in sizes ranging from 36E to 48G with three-part cups and side boning for security and support. Oh, and the intricate details and flattering colors add some serious sexiness.
Band Sizes: 36-48
Cup Sizes: E-G
Colors: White, Latte, Ink, Rosewood, Black
Customer review: “Finally, a bra that significantly supports my massive breasts without using intolerable underwires. The tight band and stiff sides that make it so effective took a little getting used to, but the better lift, breathable mesh fabric, and lack of movement reduce the sweating and chafing I suffered in the soft, loose bras I previously wore. This bra improved my quality of life, and I’ve been taking every opportunity to recommend it.”
Pros
Innovative material offers sleek support
Comfortable
Cons
Straps might slip
Hate the added bulk of padding but love the support? Let Cuup introduce you to the brand’s 3D spacer fabric, a material molded into cups designed to be non-creasing and breathable. Many customers rave about its supportive shaping and barely-there feel.
Band Sizes: 30-44
Cup Sizes: A-H
Colors: 9 options
Customer review: “I like that it’s lightweight. It has the perfect amount of material to smooth things out, but not so much padding that it hides my natural contour.”

The golden standard is a simple bra that you can wear under almost any outfit. This one is a customer favorite from for its soft fabric that helps to shape and support.
Band Sizes: 30-42
Cup Sizes: B-I
Colors: Black, Nude
Customer review: “This has become my new favorite unlined bra...the stretch helps diminish the visibility of the seams under knits. I also find that because of the stretch, the bra adapts well if you have breasts that aren't the same size.”
Pros
Looks great on
Sexy while offering moderate coverage
Cons
Straps are short
The balconette is one of the sleekest styles to wrap one’s chest in, and this one from ThirdLove is a prime example.

Thin cups are made to provide a more natural look, while the memory foam straps help boost wearability.
Band Sizes: 32-44
Cup Sizes: B-H
Colors: 8 options
Customer review: “Hard to find a pretty bra for D cup and bigger! Love this one. Makes me feel sexy!”

Stiff at first

Band Sizes: 38-50

Pros
Great separation
Beautiful color options

Might ride up

Band Sizes: 34-46
Cup Sizes: DD-O
Colors: 13 options
Customer review: “This is such a comfortable, well-made bra, and the fact that it comes in so many delicious colors makes it even better. No one sees it but me these days, but it makes me feel so pampered and beautiful.”
Pros
Great lift
Sexy lace
Cons
Straps can slide
If you’re looking for a little lift, consider this lacy push-up bra from Curvy Couture. One of the brand’s bestselling bra styles, it has graduated pads for a natural-looking lift and power mesh wings designed to smooth and keep you cool.

Pros
On-trend style
Added boning provides extra support
Cons
Strapless construction might slip down
This one is for the Bridgerton fans who are as obsessed with the sultry costumes as they were with Regé-Jean Page. This romantic strapless bustier, available in sizes 32B to 44G, is the lingerie of our most whimsical dreams. Although it’s lightly lined, it comes with multiple hook-and-eye closures and side boning to give you the voluptuous look you desire. Silicon elastic at the neckline and top of the back should also help the style stay up, so you’re not constantly having to readjust.
Band Sizes: 32-44
Cup Sizes: B-G
Colors: White, European Nude, Mid Nude, Black
Customer review: “I bought this because I was in need of a half bra, and half bras don’t seem to stay in place nor give that perkiness I like. I really like this bra, though. It is comfortable and after five minutes, I forgot it was on.”
Pros
Full coverage
Medium to high impact
Adjustable straps
Hook-and-eye closure
Cons
Band may ride up
This is one of Cohen’s top recommendations. Most sports bras are ultra-compressive or feature molded cups—very few are able to do both simultaneously, but this wireless one does so with ease. It’s built to support you through high-impact workouts and also includes adjustable, convertible straps, so you basically get two bra designs in one.
Band Sizes: 32-44
Cup Sizes: A-H
Colors: 7 options
Customer review: “I have worn this bra for hiking and biking, and it’s my favorite. Comfortable and flattering while also being supportive. I love that you can change the straps from parallel to crossed.”
