What is an unpadded bra?


An unpadded bra follows the natural shape of your breasts. This type of bra has a comfortable fit thanks to the flexible shape and cups without padding. Unpadded bras give a modest cleavage and are suitable for all breast shapes and cup sizes.



Some unpadded bras have wires, whereas others are unpadded and unwired. This depends on the amount on support you need. For smaller cup sizes, an unpadded bralette will feel comfortable.
