Is an underwire or wireless bra right for you? Believe it or not, both can actually be comfortable. And there are certain times when one might be better than the other. Your favorite Undergarment Educator, Kimmay, from Hurray Kimmay is here to help you say hurray inside, outside, and of course underneath™. Read below and take a look at my quick video!

Should you wear an underwire bra?
First up, whether you wear an underwire bra or a bra at all is totally up to you. If you are going to wear one, let’s make sure it’s comfortable and supportive. If you’re feeling uncomfortable in an underwire bra, chances are it’s the wrong size or style for you. Bras are like shoes. Even the most amazing bra in a size that’s either too loose or too big will feel uncomfortable all day. A well-fitting bra, even one with an underwire, should feel good. So check the fit and the size first.
One reason you may want to wear an underwire bra is: shape. An underwire bra can tack against the front of the body (see below) and the underwire will create a frame and shape for the cup. This lifted round and separated look is super popular and might be what you’re going for.
Another reason is feel. Believe it or not, some bra wearers love the security they get from wearing an underwire bra. Want to try a comfortable underwire bra? This No Side Effects Lightweight Underwire Side Smoothing Bra I’m wearing from Warners is a great example of a cozy underwire bra because of its smooth cups, wrapped underwire, and amazing back smoothing wings. Hurray!

When should you wear a wireless bra?
Some reasons or seasons when a wireless bra might be best for you are maternity, nursing, post-surgery, sleeping, traveling, running errands, weight fluctuations, yoga or other bendy types of athletics, if you have an extended rib cage, first bras for young folks or, honestly… anytime you want!
Here’s a great wireless bra suggestion for you to try! The No Side Effects Wireless Alpha Lift is a great everyday wireless bra because of its lightly lined cup (which is great for modesty and a seamless silhouette) side panels for a smooth look, and its easy sizing system makes buying your size a snap. Hurray!
