One might assume shopping for bras for small breasts is an easy endeavor (just pick up any low-support bralette and call it a day, right?), but it can actually be surprisingly challenging to find styles that fit small busts correctly. Regardless of size, all boobs still need to be supported and not everyone wants to wear or feels comfortable in minimalist bralettes, or overly padded push-ups, for that matter. Luckily, there are multiple brands out there that know just how to fit A and B cups (as well as AAA and AA). Here, five brands to know, plus the 20 best bras for small breasts. Oh, and if you need a refresher on how to determine your bra size, we’ve got you covered.

The 16 Most Comfortable Bras For All Sizes (Because We Can’t All Go Braless During Quarantine)


Pepper

Pepper

Launched in 2017, Pepper is all about celebrating and catering to the AA, A and B cup crowd, and not just for those who fit a size 30 band—all styles are available in sizes 30 through 38. Because as founders Jaclyn Fu and Lia Winograd know, just because someone is petite doesn’t mean they necessarily have small boobs and just because someone is larger, or even plus-size, doesn’t mean they must have big boobs. As Fu explained in an interview with Shape, “Most bras are a disservice to women with small busts because they usually create a cup gap where the cups are too big and you can't fill them.” The site also has a fit guide and sizing quiz for those who want more guidance before buying. Pepper currently offers just three bra styles, but as it continues to get feedback and data from its customers, we can definitely expect to see more variation in the future.

Lulalu

Lulalu

Another brand focused entirely on those with small racks, Lulalu sells only AAA, AA and A sizes. And, no, their designs don’t including any sort of excessive padding or bust-boosting technology. Instead, Lulalu celebrates small boobs for what they are and even has an A-Cup 101 landing page where shoppers can learn all about accurate bra sizing, different styles and how to properly care for their undergarments. Similar to Pepper, band sizes range from 30 to 38.

Negative

Negative

Negative is a minimalist lingerie and sleepwear brand that’s all about paring things down to the bare necessities, which means you won’t find any lace, extra straps or padding here. Negative puts an emphasis on luxurious fabrics and high-quality details (like silky soft grosgrain straps) making its undergarments some of the comfiest we’ve ever worn. And while the brand isn’t specifically focused on smaller breasts, reviewers rave about the impeccable fit and construction at all sizes. The site also has a Bra Cheat Sheet to help you figure out exactly which style will fit your needs, including highlighting the best options for A and B cups.

Natori

Natori

Josie Natori’s original concept for her namesake brand was to create lingerie that could fill the gap between the ultra-sexy and frumpy styles she found in department stores. Since its launch in the late ‘70s, Natori has expanded into super-comfy sleepwear, everyday lingerie and even a ready-to-wear line. Like Negative, the band doesn’t focus exclusively on smaller sizes, but it has developed a cult following for incredible attention to detail regarding fit and luxe-feeling fabrics. It was also one of the first big brands to offer a wider range of “nude” shades for its everyday collections.

The Little Bra Company

The Little Bra Company

The Little Bra Company was made for those who are both petite and small chested (although the site makes sure to note that “petite” here refers to anyone with a notably smaller frame or ribcage, not just those under 5’4”). There are a ton of different styles to choose from—simple T-shirt bras, lacey lingerie-inspired numbers, sports bras—as well as the option to shop specifically for close and wide set cups. Pro tip: Be sure to check out TLBC’s size guide before you buy, as you may wear a slightly different size here compared to other brands.
