Hi there! I am relatively small - 36B. My favorite bras are:
- an ANCIENT sports bra with no elastic left (it is basically almost like a crop top that covers my chest and adds a layer of fabric between my breasts and my t-shirts) - an Urban Outfitters pullover halter-style string bralette, which is basically 2 pieces of string and 2 fabric triangles. Again almost no elastic left These are, as you might imagine, very sad-looking. I would like to buy a VERY comfortable bra that actually looks OK. My preferences are for thinner straps and less coverage, NO underwire. I don't really need support as much as coverage so I don't have "headlights". I used to get ad targeted on IG for bras that look like they might meet this description, but not any more for some reason. Has anyone bought one of these and can recommend? Or some other brand? Thanks very much for any and all suggestions? |

No limits, really... expensive is fine if the quality and comfort are there! |

As a 34 A the most comfortable bralettes I've found recently were, I kid you not, at Aldi. They're "Serra" brand and come in a 2 pk for $8.99. No wires, absolutely cover the headlights (and I'm really pointy  ), and so comfortable. I sized up to a L/XL and really feels like there's nothing on. The exception is if it's really hot and humid - they don't breathe very well. But for most of the year I'm finding them to be perfect. And I hate, hate, hate bras.

| I really like Uniqlo bras. I’m a 34 A, and like you want padding for modesty. These have no underwire, have sewn-in pads (I hate the removable ones that move around) and feel like nothing on. The downside is that they stretch out after a while. I end up replacing them after about a year. But they’re not expensive. (And if I handwashed them they might last longer.) |

| I’m a fan of the Gap perfect plunge bralettes. I wear other Gap bralettes too - so far they’ve all been comfortable. |

| I just bought bras from Third Love and really like them, I’m the same size as you, and actually a half cup size which has made a HUGE difference. I have no gaps, am not adjusting straps, yanking at the band, etc. I’m planning on ordering a couple more soon. |

I saw a recommendation on this board for Aerie and I just bought three wireless bras and love them. I'm a 36A and they are great, provide some lift and a little padding, but are very comfortable. Highly recommend.
