I Thought I Owned the Most Comfortable Strapless Bra Until I Found This
Pictured: Lively The Lace Strapless ( $35 )
A little while ago, I found the strapless bra of my dreams. When I am not wearing a strapless bra, I prefer a non-padded demi-cup one with underwire. I am a size 34C and am not the biggest fan of my boobs. To be honest, I'd rather just not have them at all. In other words, my hatred of my boobs turns into my hatred of my bras and so on and so forth. While I know my cup size is "average" on the spectrum, I think it's safe to say that, for any cup size, finding a strapless bra that doesn't annoy the heck out of you is a miracle.
Well, folks, I did it. I found a miracle-working strapless bra. It has underwire, it isn't padded, it always stays up, it's extremely comfortable, and it's only $35. Introducing Lively's lace strapless bra. But wait—there's more.

I wore that lace strapless bra (and still do) so regularly that I've already bought a new one. You know, in case the brand runs out or something. I even wear it with the removable straps attached so I can also wear it as a normal bra with T-shirts, blouses, and the like. I am obsessed with this bra—get the picture? Well, just a few days ago, I decided to step outside the box and try one of Lively's new strapless bra designs—the no-wire strapless. No wires? Not a bra I would usually buy, as I need the support, especially in a strapless bra, but I figured I would give it a shot (with a little research, of course).
After reaching out to the brand, I was told that "this new strapless is Leisurée gone next-level with unbelievable flexibility, an adjustable band, and total support that you'll never want to take off. With this launch, Lively took a new approach to how the brand sees the future of strapless styles." Not only did the brand "photograph its own ambassadors ranging in sizes from a 32A to 38DD, but it also was able to develop a bra that has no fuss and no hardware—just the basics." This bra is also only $35. Hot tip.

Fast-forward to present day and I think I have found a strapless bra that out-comforted the lace version I hardly ever took off. I do still stand by my previous statement that Lively's lace strapless bra is the most comfortable strapless bra I've ever owned, but I must alter it a bit to being one of the most comfortable strapless bras I've ever owned. With no wires, a comfortable athleisure-type band, and a structure that somehow supports you even though it feels like you're wearing nothing, it's pretty hard to ignore both the level of comfort and function.
Friends, I don't do these product reviews a ton, I was not paid to write this, and I am getting nothing out of it. I already own both of the bras, wear them nearly every single day, and suggest you do the same if you want. Ahead I have shopped out the lace strapless bra, the new no-wire strapless bra, and one more Lively strapless style I love. In case you want to see some other celebrated strapless bras, I also shopped out strapless bras with some of the highest reviews on the internet. If a great strapless bra is what you're looking for, a great strapless bra is what you're going to get when you're done reading this.
