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.

    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.”

      • Got Big Boobs? Try These Bra Brands (88)Added boning provides extra support
      Cons
      • Got Big Boobs? Try These Bra Brands (89)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.
