These Cheap Bras & Underwear Are Actually Effing Amazing

Who knew an underwire bra could be so easygoing? The contoured cups on this fan-favorite from Bali have lightweight mesh inserts and angled seams, with supportive slings that lift and shape you ultra-naturally. Shopper concurred with its wearability throughout the reviews, with one reviewer writing, "this bra is very comfortable, especially considering it has an underwire. It doesn’t poke under the arms and lays completely flat against my body,” while another called it “without a doubt the most comfortable bra I've EVER worn. EVER. EVER.”

If you crave support but also want it to feel invisible, this Bali bra should be an essential.

Meanwhile, U-shaped back has three hook-and-eye closures for a smooth, custom fit all your own. “I’m what some may call 'blessed' in the chest. However, this makes me prone to hating any bra I try, no matter the size,” one fan confessed. “This bra, however… is a godsend. It minimizes my size but also feels so comfortable and like I’m wearing nothing,” they raved.

Despite being a full-coverage brief, there are no visible panty lines in sight, and the wide elastic waistband feels barely-there. “These have just the right amount of spring- not too tight, not too loose. No matter which way I move, I have yet to get a wedgie. They also don’t reveal any panty-lines!! Seriously, these are the most comfortable underwear I have ever tried,” one shopper revealed.

I broke my wrist and needed surgery on my dominant hand,” one shopper explained. “There's no way for me to manage traditional back hooks with one hand. Those 'cute' cami-tanks just aren't sufficient for my size either. This has enough support, is back smoothing and can be hooked with one hand,” they reported.
