What we don’t like

What Mumsnet users say
“I don't really wear normal bras day to day, I just stick with my Molkes” - tried and tested by Mumsnetter ofwarren
“Have a look at Molke. They are a Scottish company… They seem to get great reviews. Plus they come in loads of funky colours” - as recommended by Mumsnet user WeeM
Our verdict
Another favourite with Mumsnetters, this Molke bra is great for bigger busts. The firm fabric means it holds even the biggest boobs in place while still offering comfort. Great for everyday wear, it could also be worn for low impact sports and is suitable for breastfeeding as there are no clips or fasteners. The bras come in a wide range of cup sizes from Stellar to Thunder (there’s a handy size calculator on the website) and are made from a soft breathable, cotton jersey fabric. It’s recommended to line dry after washing as tumble drying too often can cause the elastic to lose its stretch. Machine washes with similar colours at 30 degrees.

H&M does basics very well and this soft non-wired bra in ribbed jersey with a lace trim, doesn’t disappoint.

There are no fasteners and it has been designed with the minimum number of seams for a more comfortable fit and increased flexibility. It comes in three colours: light khaki green, black and light beige.

The short tank top comes with wide straps, an under-the-breast band and a deep round neckline and its flat, soft edges make it seem invisible under clothes.

Synonymous with simple and stylish underwear, Calvin Klein is a safe bet when it comes to bras and its signature cotton sports bralette doesn’t disappoint. Popular with Mumsnetters, this breathable non-wired bra rates highly for comfort and keeps its shape wash after wash. It comes in a range of classic colourways including black, grey and white. Some reviews say it comes up a bit small so it could be worthwhile going up a size.

Which type of wireless bra offers the best support?
Wireless bras can be just as supportive as wired bras, you just need to choose the right one. Thicker straps tend to provide greater support along with a well constructed underband (a thick elasticated band of material under the boobs). As mentioned in some of our reviews, non-wired bras that have side and back panels hold your boobs firmly in place and some are supportive enough to wear during exercise.
Discreet padding can prevent gaping and provide uplift and some wireless styles offer great support as well as giving you a bit of cleavage while still keeping the comfort levels high. Tank top style wireless bras can still provide good support if they’re double layered.
Ultimately the level of coverage and the type of fabric makes a difference to how supportive wireless bras are.
Are wireless bras suitable for all bra sizes?
Wireless bras can offer many of the same benefits as structured bras. As long as the bra comes with a comfy band and is constructed from stretchy fabric, you should be able to enjoy light support and maximum comfort. If you have bigger boobs, experts in the field Bravissimo state that you can still wear wireless bras. The main difference between wireless and underwired bras is that bras with underwire can separate and lift your boobs, giving you a rounded shape with a little more support. That said, there are supportive wireless options too and you can still enjoy a decent level of support providing the wireless bra fits you well.
Are wireless bras the same as sports bras?
Sports bras offer maximum support and hold your breasts firmly in place when working out. Most wireless bras don’t offer the same level of compression so if you’re looking for a wireless bra specifically for exercising, we’d suggest opting for one that specifies it’s a sports bra like the Calvin Klein non-wired bra we recommend in our roundup.
What is the best wireless bra to buy?
The Flexifit Non Wired Crop Top from M&S is our best buy as not only does it feel like a second skin, it receives glowing reviews for comfort and support. It’s also great value at £22 and there are a good range of sizes available. Plus, the padding is removeable, offering the ultimate flexibility.
