Any person who wears a bra knows that the best part of the day is taking the said bra off. Bras are famously uncomfortable and a necessary evil for many. For those who are heavier-chested, a bad bra can bring about even more issues: back pain, an underwire that digs into your skin, and awkward bulges or bumps.
Finding a bra that actually fits, feels good, and doesn’t make you want to rip it off halfway through the day is ... rare. In search of what we thought was this nonexistent thing, we came across Wacoal, and we were immediately impressed by the glowing reviews across the board and inclusive sizing (most bras go up to a size I).
Wacoal has seemingly thought of everything—everyday basics, options for bigger busts, breathable cooling fabrics, nursing bras, post-mastectomy styles, and designs that lift, smooth, or shape in all the right places.
But are the rave reviews all hype, or is there something to it? We dug into Wacoal's top-rated bras to find out.
Basic Beauty Spacer Underwire T-Shirt Bra
- 4.6 ⭐️ | 1,350+ reviews
- Available in cup sizes C to G
Best overall: Loved for its smooth feel, supportive lift, and seamless look under clothes.
This is one of Wacoal’s most well-rounded everyday t-shirt bras. It has a smooth, soft feel and lightly padded cups that give shape without adding bulk. The underwire is comfy (yes, really), and the straps stay put. If you want a bra that disappears under clothes but still gives you a subtle, flattering lift, this is it.
The review that sold us:
“So I've worn this bra for about 8 years now. … You won't regret it. It's super comfortable, doesn't leave red marks, will last you about 4 years of daily wear, and looks great as a base under any clothes. Like the fit is just chef’s kiss.” — Marshmallow
A smooth bra that's nearly invisible under most tops
Back Appeal Underwire Bra
- 4.6 ⭐️ | 460+ reviews
- Available in cup sizes C to H
Best smoothing features: Designed to smooth the back and sides—fans say it delivers on comfort and shaping.
Built-in smoothing panels in the back and sides make this one a go-to for anyone looking to nix lumps and bumps. The cups offer great coverage and shape, and the stretch straps are designed to move with you. Bonus: it doesn’t sacrifice comfort for structure.
The review that sold us:
“Love this bra, the underwire fits like a glove and has no digging or pinching, and a nice flat side fit. Color is attractive and does not show through most summer clothes … A nice shape without minimizing!” — Carol.
Underwire that doesn't cut in and smoothing that actually shapes your top
Awareness Underwire Bra
- 4.6 ⭐️ | 1,860+ reviews
- Available in cup sizes C to I
Best support: A longtime customer favorite for support, comfort, and durability.
This is one of Wacoal’s most-loved bras for a reason—it's supportive, durable, and super comfy even for all-day wear. The wide straps, full coverage, and dependable lift make it a favorite for fuller busts. A small touch that we love: The back of the bra features a small pink ribbon for breast cancer awareness, hence the name.
The Awareness Underwire Bra is made for sizes C–I, but at the time of writing, it's available through size H.
The review that sold us:
“I discovered this bra over a decade ago and have never worn a different one, for a good reason. Any woman with a non-standard bra size (36H or 38H) knows it is nearly impossible to find a bra that is functional, comfortable, and looks nice. This bra has it all. … Quite simply, finding this bra has changed my life; any large-chested woman would know it is not an exaggeration when I say this.” — Daktylotrochej
An incredible fit that gives a supportive nod to breast cancer awareness

- Available in cup sizes C to I
Best sports bra: High-impact support without the bulk.
A true workout essential, this underwire sports bra holds everything in place without feeling like armor. It’s breathable, minimizes bounce, and the straps adjust in the front so you’re not doing gymnastics to get the right fit. It can be worn for high-impact movement like running or even just for a more supportive fit during your day-to-day.
The Simone Sports Bra is made for sizes C–I, but at the time of writing, it's available through size H.
The review that sold us:
“All of my clothing looks much better on me when wearing the Simone Sport Underwire Bra. My posture looks better, younger, fitter. … I've been wearing the Simone bras under sweaters, body suits, and clingy tops—I feel confident and know that I am looking my best. I will never go back to wearing any of my other bras, ever again.” — Marvelous M.
Made for high-intensity activity or just lounging around
Visual Effects Minimizer Bra
- 4.4 ⭐️ | 685+ reviews
- Available in cup sizes C to J
Best minimizer: Popular for reducing bust projection and providing full coverage without discomfort.
If you’re looking to reduce projection without flattening, this is a solid pick. It offers full coverage and uses a strong—but still soft—lace fabric that keeps everything in place. This bra is ideal under button-downs or fitted tops when you want a more streamlined silhouette.
The Visual Effects Minimizer Bra is made for sizes C to J, but at the time of writing, it's available through size H.
The review that sold us:
“This doesn't feel like a minimizer. It's very comfortable and pretty and doesn't feel like the girls are being smooshed.” — anon.
A minimizer that does its job so well you don't even realize it's minimizing
Halo Lace Strapless Underwire Bra
- 4.7 ⭐️ | 80+ reviews
- Available in cup sizes B to DDD
Best straplesss: Stays up, looks cute, and is comfortable.
Strapless bras usually have a bad rep, but this one’s different. It stays up, fits snugly without digging in, and the stretch lace is surprisingly comfortable. It also comes with optional straps if you want to switch things up.
The review that sold us:
“Purchased this bra for my wedding. I’m a 38D and wasn’t sure if I could trust any strapless bra but this one was fantastic! I didn’t have to adjust myself once the entire day!” — Mayasmom
A strapless bra that keeps everything in place and doesn't slip around
Feeling Flexible Bralette
- Brand-new: No reviews yet
- Available in sizes S to 2XL
Best bralette: A soft, stretchy fit that feels barely there.
We know all too well that bralettes and bigger busts typically don’t get along, but this one was actually designed with larger cups in mind (hello, D/DD folks). The latest addition to the Feeling Flexible lineup—alongside panties like the Feeling Flexible Hipster and Brief—this lightweight bralette is as breathable as it is soft. It has removable pads, wide straps, and a comfy bottom band that stays in place.
Everyone loves a bralette—especially one that's as soft and flexible as this
