Non-wired or sports bras for women
The women's bralette replaces the bra when comfort is the priority: wire-free, made of cotton or lace for everyday wear, padded for a rounded shape, and sports bras to support during exercise. Among the brands available are: Elomi, Fantasie, Chantelle, Sloggi, and Organic Basics.
A wireless cotton bralette can be worn all day, at home or under a jumper.
Brassiere or bra: what's the difference?
The women's brassiere is often put on over the head, without underwires or hooks, and it holds in place with its elastic band. The bra, which has underwires and can be adjusted, provides more support and separates the breasts. The brassiere focuses on comfort.
Which brassiere to choose?
The cotton brassiere, flexible, is suitable for everyday wear and sensitive skin. The lace brassiere can be worn visibly under a jacket or an open shirt. The padded brassiere gives a rounded shape and remains discreet under a t-shirt. The sports brassiere provides support during exercise.
What sports brassiere to choose?
A sports brassiere is chosen depending on the intensity: light support for yoga, medium for fitness, strong for running. A crossed back and wide straps limit breast movement.
Is a brassiere suitable for larger breasts?
Yes, as long as you choose a model sold by band size and cup size, with a wide band. Brands that specialize in large cup sizes offer brassieres with good support.
How to care for a brassiere?
Wash it at 30 °C on a delicate cycle, in a laundry bag, and let it air dry. Remove the removable pads before washing to prevent them from losing their shape.

Frequently asked questions
What bra size should I take?
Brassieres in S, M, L are chosen based on your band size and cup size, according to the brand's guide. The band should hold without riding up.
Can you sleep in a brassiere?
Yes, a soft brassiere without underwires is comfortable at night. Choose a breathable material like cotton.
A brassiere with a front opening, for whom?
It is put on without going over the head: practical for nursing or if shoulder mobility is reduced. Check the strength of the closure.
How to prevent a brassiere from riding up?
Choose a wide band and the right size. A too loose band rises with each movement.
Lace brassiere: how to wear it?
Worn alone under an open jacket or a sheer blouse, or underneath for comfort. Choose a lined lace if you wear it visibly.
