Comfortable Wirefree Bras for Plus Sizes and Full Bust
Are you one of the many plus size or full bust women who wants a bra with no underwire?
Wired bras are a bit of a mixed blessing. They're great for support, but they can also dig in to your arms, cut into your chest, and even leave marks. Ouch!
And, there are times, when you're bloated, that a wire just won't do. These are also a good option if you've had surgery and your skin is sensitive.
Underwires can pop out of the bra if you are wearing the wrong band size or if the bra isn't washed correctly (do not put it in the dryer).
Or, you might have a problem because the underwire isn't sitting flat against your body.
Larger busted women can also have issues with underwires poking under the arms, even if they are wearing the right size. It's even worse if you are both plus sized and petite. Many of the wires are just too long for you.
And, if you wear a minimizer, that can cause discomfort because they are designed to push tissue to the sides, which can make the underwire uncomfortable.
Underwires will give more support, and are definitely best for plus sizes and full busts. However, if you just hate them, or absolutely can't wear them, you don't have to!
While it's not that hard to find soft cup bras in an A or B cup, finding a supportive wirefree bra for a bigger size (D cup or higher) or for a large band with a small cup can be tricky. And, the larger your body (or your breasts) the more difficult it gets.
The internet to the rescue!
Here's a list of the best no underwire support bras, sorted by full bust, plus size, full figure, and large band small cup sizes.
Wacoal How Perfect No Wire Bra
No marks, no pain, and no wires. The fabric is soft so you can wear it all day without discomfort, rubbing, or irritation. You'll think your bust went on vacation. There's just enough padding to stop headlights, without being heavy or uncomfortable. The leotard back keeps the straps from slipping. The band is running a bit small, so take that into consideration when you order.
There's boning and seaming for extra support, but the seams won't show under your t-shirts.
US sizes 30B-DDD, 32B-DDD, 34A-DDD, 36A-DD, 38B-D in black, beige, leopard, and navy.
Chantelle Amazone Soft-Cup Bra
A pretty, soft cup bra with so much support and lift you'll think it's an underwire. Except, unlike an underwire, it's soft and comfy. This bra is constructed with side panels to push your breasts forward (for a retro look). It's even pretty. There's floral lace adorning the tops of the cups; the rest of the bra has a subtle herringbone pattern.
EU sizes 32-44 B, C, D, and E in white only.
This is a good choice if you've had breast augmentation and need to avoid wires for a while
Freya Deco Molded Soft Cup Bra
No seams, no wires, just smooth fabric and a knock-em-dead plunge front. The sides and back have power support to keep back fat and side spillage under control. There's also a band under the cups to help give a bit of lift. The cups are molded, but flexible enough so you can pack the bra without squashing it. This bra is best if your breasts are close together and full. It's not the best choice if your breasts are shallow, wide set, or go east-west.
UK sizes 28-38 C-G, black and beige.
elomi Cate Soft Cup Bra
This is the new version of the Elomi Caitlyn. It has four part cups topped with an embroidered sheer mesh and satin below (for support). Vertical seaming, side boning, and side panels give this plenty of supporting power even without the wire.
Limited stretch straps and a leotard back give you more support and stop the straps from slipping off your shoulders (this is great if you're petite or have round shoulders).
UK sizes 36E-G, 38D-G, 40B to G; 42, 46, 48 B-G black and beige.
Goddess Kayla Soft Cup Bra
Ooh, this is fun. There's sheer fabric along with tops of the cups, and a satin animal print along the bottom. The wide band gives you extra stability and helps keep everything in place.
Comes in pecan, grey, and black. US sizes 36DDD-H, 38D-H, 40B-H, 42B-H, 44, 46, 48, 50, 52, 54, and 56 B-H.
Elila Molded Softcup Spacer Bra
This bra is made with 3D spacer fabric. That means it's cooler on hot days. It also makes the bra much lighter and more comfortable to wear than a bra made out of standard materials. No wire doesn't mean you have to give up support entirely though.
Slings that surround the inside of the cups (those are also made of the spacer fabric) and an elastic band under the cups give you extra support.
The center is tall, narrow, and arched for comfort (if your stomach is high). This shape is best if your breasts are close-set.
It's wireless, and seamless (!), so nothing will show through your clothes. Since it's molded (but not contoured), you get gentle shaping without heavy padding.
Elila sizes 36-48D through K.
Elila Lace Soft-cup Bra
Pretty lace, seaming and inner slings (right in the cup) for more support make this a great choice for larger women. No wires to dig into your skin.
The sides and back are high, which gives more support (and reduces back fat). It's full coverage and has a high neckline (so not good for tank tops or shirts with plunging necklines.
Elila sizes 36-52C through K in white, beige, fuchsia, bright blue, and black.
Leading Lady Molded Soft Cup Bra
If you need a plus size bra for a small cup size, this may the perfect solution. Several reviewers described it as "the bra I've been looking for my entire adult life."
The bra is lightly padded (for shaping) and has cushioned straps for comfort (just remember, the band should do most of the lifting, not the straps)
Band sizes 38-50 and cup sizes A, B, C, D, DD, F, and G. Available in white, blue/white floral print, beige, hot pink, ultramarine blue, teal, purple/black zebra print, and black.
Bali Comfort Revolution Wirefree Bra
Want a break from wires (or prefer no wires ever)? This bra is just the thing. The straps are inset so they won't slip (or you can wear them criss-cross if you want), which will give you a bit more lift and support.
There's also a bit of padding for modesty. The cups are stretchy, so they will expand to fit the bigger side without wrinkling on the smaller side (if you're not even).
Some have a color on color "cloud" pattern and some are plain with a bit of lace.
Comes in black, almond, beige, white, gray, navy, red, blue, and bright blue in sizes 34C-D, 36B-DD, 38B-DD, 40 B-DD, and 32B-DD.
Wacoal Casual Beauty Wire Free Bra
A simple, no-frills seamless bra that's knit for softness and comfort. The material is breathable, and quite a bit of the bra is mesh, so you'll stay cool. It's great for lounging or when you're feeling uncomfortable and bloated.
The fabric is stretchy so it will conform to your shape. This is great if one side is bigger than the other.
No A cup, but does come in 34, 36, 38, 40, 42 and 44 B, C, D, DD and DDD. Available in toast.

Elila Bras Fit Note
Elila's sizing is different from other bra manufacturers. When you choose a size, get one size larger than usual in the band and two sizes smaller in the cup. So, if you are normally a 38F, you'll need 40D.Elila Molded Softcup Spacer Bra
