Soft Cup Bras: The Wireless Choice

What are soft cup bras and what makes them different?

Good soft cup bras will be supportive and enhance your bustline without having a wire. Some women find these bras to be more comfortable and choose to wear them every day.

Also many women who are pregnant decide to wear soft cup bras as maternity bras because they accommodate their growing bustlines.
If you're big busted, a good, supportive, full coverage bra is just as important as a credit card.

'Don't leave home without it!'

The love-hate relationship between a big boobed woman and her big bra is complicated. We despise the large bra band with chunky straps and more hooks than a fisherman's vest, but we shiver at the nightmarish thought of leaving the house without wearing one.

Some of us lock ourselves into sports bras, while others slip into nursing bras, a few lucky ladies might shimmy into an elegant special occasions bra, but the majority of us wake up in the morning and strap on a regular, everyday bra. It's part of our routine.

In elementary school children learn a song called, "Do Your Ears Hang Low?". Change one word and you have a catchy song that illustrates perfectly the need for a supportive bra.

"Do your ears hang low?
Do they wobble to and fro?
Can you tie them in a knot?
Can you tie them in a bow?
Can you throw them over your shoulder like a continental soldier?
Do your ears hang low?


Well my ears don't hang low, but something else I own sure does have a problem stayin' put.

Take time to find the right bra, it's important. Not only will it help give you a more youthful appearance, but the right soft cup bra can help prevent health problems.

So what's the best full coverage bra available that will keep our 'ahems' from hangin' low and wobblin' to and fro and showcase them in an uplifted, flattering manner?

Here are my top recommendations for big bust, soft cup bras...

Elila Jacquard Soft Cup Bra with Cushioned Straps

This bra is especially recommended for all those ladies that are extra busty (like size F or bigger)

Where to find it?
Herroom.com: $38.00 (shipping $5.00)
Figleaves.com: $38.00 (shipping $4.50)

The first thing I noticed about this bra was the straps. They have an extra cushion to prevent shoulder digging. Some customers like this, others didn't.

The only complaints about this bra were about the cushions not staying in place, but most problems were solved by sewing them in place.

Here are some reviews for this soft cup bra.
The cups fit well for a generously sized bossom and the straps are really comfortable. I almost forget that I have it on. I would recommend it instead of underwire. It also holds up well after each washing. I would recommend this for ladies G cup and up. :)
Size: 38 G

This is a bra with great support! I have had a hard time finding a bra that really lifts and takes pressure off my back but still gives me shape. This is it! It is also comfortable enough to wear all day. I highly recommend it.
Size: 36H

This bra fits me quite well. Good support in the cups and band. Well made. I have had a slight problem with the shoulder pads slipping, but those can be sewn into place.
Size: 38G

it is great but the strap pad is shifting
Size: 44F

Wacoal Everyday Soft Cup Bra



I'm recommending this bra for all those sisters who are size C-DDD.

Where to find it:
HerRoom.com: $58.00 (5.00 shipping)
Figleaves.com: $55.00 (shipping extra)

Apparently this bra has been deemed the Whoopi Bra after she raved about it on the View in 2007.

It's known for being extra comfortable, and yet still supportive. Many recommend it as a maturnity bra. The only downside I could find about this bra was the apparently high cost, but most agree it is worth the money.

Here are some reviews for this soft cup bra
I have never had a bra feel and fit so good. I don't even feel it. That is a first for me. They do run small so do order a size larger.
Size: 44DDD


I picked this bra based on the fab reviews, but honestly did not expect to be as happy as I am with it. This is hands down the BEST wireless bra I have ever worn. It has good support, is comfortable, and does not mash.
Size: 40C

Very happy with this bra. I was looking for comfort and found it. Paid more than I would normal pay for a bra but I am OK with the initial shock now.
Size: 38C

The BEST bra I ever wore!!! I fit into it...there is no spillage. It is just VERY costly.
36DDD


WONDERFUL!!! When I wear this bra, i forget that I've even got one on, except for the great support!! I'm going to get several more!
Size: 42C


I love this bra, I have never got as much attention as I have with this bra. It feels good and looks good on. I just ordered another one today.
Size: 46D


"Once I became pregnant my breasts got so sore and my skin so sensitive, this is the only comfortable fabric bra I could find without a wire in my size. It has held up well to tons of use and washing. I wish it came in more colors and cost less, though. I also hope to find a nursing bra as comfortable and durable..."

Goddess Satin Simplex Soft-Cup Bra


This bra is a good buy for your money. It's cheaper than the 'Whoopi Bra' and Goddess has always been a favorite with the big bust crowd.

Reviews for this soft cup bra
I really love this bra. So comfortable and straps are wonderful. At first, it was tight wear but after few washings, it will relax and easy to put on.
Size: 38H

I find it to be very comfortable to wear as an every day bra.
Size: 46C

This bra seems to fit the best of all the bras I've tried.
Size: 52GG

This is my favorite bra. Great support, and holds up well, wash after wash.
Size: 48H

I like the way it feels. It comfortable.
Size: 40DDD

Great bra for going out on the town. It gives a great shape and curve under blousy and gauzy tops. It is not as forgiving as some, so I don't prefer it as an everyday bra, but having only 3 hooks on a bra my size is really sexy. Great colors and styling. I would recommend it for anyone looking for a comfortable, yet sexy bra.
Size: 44H


I have always worn an underwire, until I found this bra! I have never had such perky looking breasts. This is the best bra I have bought in years, and I have spent lots more money on bras that don't fit as well. I have a short torso and often have bras that take up my whole torso and dig into my ribs, causing a rash! I have been wearing nothing but this bra through the first half of my pregnancy, I will be buying the next size up for the second half of my pregnancy. Comfortable for all day wear and looks smooth under everything.
Size: 38G

Bali Concealers Wire Free Bra



I'm giving this soft cup bra the 'Coolest Feature' award.

This is something that I just stumbled onto and I think it's wonderful. There bras have built-in 'pedals' that will help keep your nips from showing when you're 'cold'. Great idea, eh?

Where to find it:
HerRoom.com: Regular Price: $32.00 ON SALE! $25.60

Here are some reviews for this bra
Super comfy, no nip show through, smoooth, and nice colours. The band under the bra is a tad wide, but otherwise very very comfy and perfect for a form fitting T-shirt.
Size: 36C

Very nice bra! The fit is great, and it truly does conceal. It is a terrific, everyday bra and fairly priced, too.
Size: 42C

The bra is comfortable but the cup size was a little large for my personal taste. I loved the hidden petals.
Size: 36DD

This bra is awesome!! I would definitely recommend it to anyone with a large bust! I have trouble finding bras that fit right or hold me up, but this one does it all! I have NEVER been so satisfied with a bra!
Size: 40DD
