Bamboo bralette and what it is good for

Short answer: A bralette is a soft bra without underwire and without a moulded cup. It is a middle ground between bra and top and is worn where comfort comes before shape.

No construction

There is no underwire, no moulded cup and no stiff edge. The fabric lies against the body and shapes itself to it. See bamboo bra without underwire.

For home and everyday

For days without close fitting clothing and for wearing at home a bralette is the most comfortable choice. It is barely felt.

Under thin clothing

Without padding the nipple shows through thin fabric. If that is a problem, you need a lightly padded model instead. See bamboo tops for women.

For a large bust

A bralette gives limited support. For a large bust a model with a wide band is necessary for it to work. See size guide for full bust.

Washing and shape

Soft models lose their shape from heat. Wash in a bag at 40 degrees and hang up. See washing and care.
