We’ve picked out 21 of the best bras for C-cups below to help meet every need you may have. Ready? Let’s shop!
1. Best Everyday Bra
Floatley Cozy Adjustable Bra
For our everyday lives, we want the best in both comfort and support, all wrapped up into a bra that will stay invisible under basic tees, dresses, etc. For Us, it’s an easy pick. This Floatley bra is buttery soft and wire-free but has built-in cups and adjustable straps for the perfect fit!
Pros:
- Size chart covers C sizes 32-42
- Beautiful color selection
Cons:
- Some shoppers prefer removable cups
Available at: Amazon
2. Best Push-Up Bra
Maidenform DreamWire Underwire Push-Up Bra
C-cups don’t necessarily need major, major push-up padding to create a full effect, but a little bit of lift and shaping can make a huge difference. This demi bra is just the one to make it happen — and comfortably thanks to its cushioned, fully-encased DreamWire support!
Pros:
- Convertible, adjustable straps
- Subtle lace detail elevates the look
Cons:
- Some shoppers still prefer less padding
Available at: Amazon
3. Best Minimizer Bra
Bali Passion for Comfort Minimizer Bra
A lot of minimizer bras are only for D-cups and above, but this Bali favorite starts at 32C. If you prefer a slimmer look or maybe need to fit into a tighter top, a minimizer bra can be key. This one claims to slim your chest up to 1 1/2 inches!
Pros:
- Defined cups mean no “smushed” look
- Moisture-wicking fabric
Cons:
- Some shoppers noted needing nipple petals
Available at: Amazon
4. Best Lounge and Sleep Bra
True & Co. True Body V Neck Bra
Whether you’re taking a nap, having a girls’ night in, working from home or going to the movies, you’ll likely want a bra you can forget you’re even wearing. That’s where True & Co. comes in. This super stretchy bra is made from “barely-there” microfiber and features wide straps and a wide under-bust band for maximum comfort!
Pros:
- Wire-free
- Removable pads
Cons:
- May not fit 40C cups and above
Available at: Amazon
5. Best Strapless Bra
Wacoal Red Carpet Strapless Bra
Finding a good strapless bra for a larger bust sometimes feels impossible. They’re supposed to help, but they usually just end up causing problems. This one, however, is an anomaly. So many people have recommended this Red Carpet strapless bra to Us, and now it’s our turn to recommend it to you!
Pros:
- Non-slip rubber binding at edges
- Optional, adjustable straps
Cons:
- A pricier pick
Available at: Amazon
6. Best Back and Side-Smoothing Bra
Vanity Fair Full Coverage Beauty Back Smoothing Bra
Hate when your bra creates bulging skin on your back and sides and it shows from underneath your shirt? Instead of throwing on a sweater to cover it up even when it’s too hot to do so, try a smoothing bra. This one has wide bands on the sides and four-way stretch fabric to create a “smooth, seamless look”!
Pros:
- Straps are placed closer together in back to avoid slipping
- Over 5,000 reviews
Cons:
- Hand-wash only
Available at: Amazon
7. Best Sports Bra
Girlfriend Collective Simone High Support Bra
If you’re into higher-impact activities and workouts like running, HIIT, dancing or jumping rope, C-cups are going to need a bra with serious support. If you go for anything less, you’re probably going to have a bad time! This is Girlfriend Collective’s most supportive bra, and it has a double lining with built-in cups!
Pros:
- Adjustable three-setting hook and eye support band
- Sustainable — made from 79% recycled plastic bottles
- Sizes XXS-6L
Cons:
- Criss-cross straps may show underneath some tops
Available at: Girlfriend Collective
8. Best Bralette
Maidenform Pure Comfort Lace Bralette
Bralettes can get a little complicated when you’re a C-cup. You want that comfort and the pretty lace designs, but the support is usually not enough. This one, however, nails it. It keeps the wires away but still shapes and supports for the best of both worlds!
Pros:
- Gorgeous longline lace design
- Convertible straps
Cons:
- Lace could potentially bother sensitive skin
Available at: Amazon
9. Best Maternity/Nursing Bra
Auden Nursing Seamless Bra
If you’re breastfeeding a new baby, having a great nursing bra is super important for your comfort and convenience. You can easily unclasp the cups on this one for easy feeding. Also helpful for when you’re either nursing or still pregnant is the 6-hook back closure that accommodates fluctuations in breast size!
Pros:
- Wireless for comfort
- Stretch panel beneath cups
Cons:
- Some colors sold out
Available at: Target
10. Best Date Night Bra
DOBREVA Sexy Lace Push-Up Bra
This bra is made with sheer lace and has hidden slings to provide a push-up effect so you feel your most confident at the end of date night. The balconette shape is so lovely too!
Pros:
- Breathable mesh wings
- Fantastic reviews
Cons:
- Likely will not be a go-to for everyday occasions
Available at: Amazon
11. Best Plunge Bra
Love a deep V but have trouble finding a bra that works for one? While some people may be able to get away with going braless, if you have C-cups, you may prefer to have the support and shaping of a plunge bra. This U-neck bra is our pick, dipping low enough to reach beneath the bust!
Pros:
- Curved padding helps enhance cleavage
- Low back as well
Cons:
- Some shoppers have had sizing issues
Available at: Amazon
12. Best Backless Bra
JOATEAY Strapless Backless Bra
Going strapless is one thing, but going backless is even scarier! Most backless bra options are way too tiny too, not providing nearly enough coverage for someone with C-cup breasts or above. This one comes in a specific C size and looks basically like a regular bra from the front!
Pros:
- Made with medical-grade silicone adhesive
- Washable and reusable
Cons:
- Should not wear for more than eight hours at a time
Available at: Amazon
13. Best Bra Top
Girlfriend Collective Dylan Tank Bra
Go braless…kind of! The real goal here is to find a tank top and bra hybrid, so you can go bra-free without really having to go bra-free. This one is our favorite, and we love how the high neckline makes this style quite chic too!
Pros:
- Enough support for medium-impact workouts
- Over 6,400 reviews
Cons:
- While it’s double-lined, nipples could show through
Available at: Girlfriend Collective
14. Best Cooling Bra
Boody Body EcoWear Shaper Bra
Sick of under-boob sweat? We’re right there with you. That’s why we love this breathable, moisture-wicking bra made with bamboo viscose. This celebrity-favorite bra will be your favorite in the summer — or under heavy, less breathable layers in the fall and winter!
Pros:
- Contoured ribbing for support
- Comfortable: no padding, wires, clasps or fasteners
Cons:
- Not for if you want extreme support
Available at: Amazon
15. Best Front-Closure Bra
Auden Ace Lightly Lined Demi Racerback Bra
Prefer a bra that closes in front rather than in back? It’s easier and you get to avoid that little lump showing through the back of your shirt that comes with back closures. The adjustable straps will still help you find the right fit!
Pros:
- Soft jersey fabric
- Specially designed to reduce wire poke-through
Cons:
- Only three color options
Available at: Target
16. Best Bandeau Bra
Rhonda Shear Angle Angel Seamless Underwire Bandeau Bra
Bandeau bras usually do absolutely nothing when it comes to support, but this bra is changing the game! It features underwire and center front ruching for a supported, contoured look. This could be a nice alternative to regular strapless bras depending on your outfit!
Pros:
- Seamless
- Avoids the “uni-boob” look
Cons:
- Will likely still not be quite as supportive as a regular bra
Available at: Amazon
17. Best Mesh Bra
Smart & Sexy Sheer Mesh Demi Underwire Bra
With two layers of mesh making up the cups, this airy, flirty bra ditches the padding and opts for sheer, weightless cups instead. The straps, however, are plush and velvety for the ultimate in comfort!
Pros:
- Fun color and pattern selection
- Two-ply mesh wings and ballet back offer back and side smoothing
Cons:
- Cups may bunch a little bit if the sizing isn’t right
Available at: Amazon
18. Best Full-Coverage Bra
Playtex Secrets Perfectly Smooth Wire-Free Bra
If you like to feel fully covered up, this bra is for you. It covers the majority of the bust for more coverage with no spillage, and the foam cups make sure no one can see through them!
Pros:
- Wire-free
- Taller back and higher 2-ply sides
Cons:
- C sizes start at 36C
Available at: Amazon
19. Best Minimal-Coverage Bra
Wingslove Sexy 1/2 Cup Lace Bra
On the other hand, if you’re actually looking for less coverage, then we have another stellar pick for you. Not only is this lace bra semi-sheer, but it has half cups, only covering up the bottom portion of the bust!
Pros:
- Stretchy fabric
- Cute bow detail
Cons:
- Just one hook in back may not be enough for some people
Available at: Amazon
20. Best for Extra Support
Bali Double Support Wireless Bra
Twice the support of a regular bra…without wires? It’s possible with this Bali bra! No more wearing sports bras for your daily life. With two-ply cups and a special M-Frame design, you’ll opt for this bra every time!
Pros:
- Seamless lining
- Comfort U-back design
Cons:
- Hand-wash only
Available at: Amazon
