Best Bra Options for the Mature Woman

Getting older can be genuinely rewarding in many ways, but it also comes with its share of challenges. As your body ages, its needs change, so your go-to options – including your bra choices – should change, as well.

In this user-friendly guide, we’ll go over why this is the case. We’ll also cover everything you should know about finding the best bras for mature women and stepping out in confidence at any age.

Why Do Bras Get More Uncomfortable as You Get Older?

Many women notice their breasts changing as they begin to age, and bras that always worked before may begin to become more uncomfortable as a result. As estrogen levels naturally decline, breast tissue can lose its elasticity and firmness. As you go through this process yourself, you may notice your breasts begin to sag or lose a bit of their one-time roundness.

Breasts can change size, as well, particularly after menopause. Some women find that theirs shrink due to lower estrogen levels and ongoing hydration levels. However, if you gain age-related weight, you may find your breasts get bigger by a cup size or so instead. Your needs as far as ideal bra options are bound to change, too.

• Unbeatable support that you don’t have to worry about matching with a separate tank
• Staying cooler during warm weather or low impact physical activity
• Simplifying numerous outfits by requiring fewer layers
• Your breasts feel squished or crowded when wearing a bra.
• Your bras make you look like there’s a watermelon or similar object under your shirt.

• Thongs are the most efficient option to reach for when you don’t want to risk ruining your outfit with visible panty lines.
• Thongs are terrific solutions for women who prefer a “barely there” approach to underwear.
• Thongs can be elegant, feminine, and distinctive ways to add some pop to your lingerie collection.
• Poor fit, due to issues related to band size, cup size, and improper fittings
• Inadequate support, especially in wire-free options
• Health issues related to chronic pain and bra-related shoulder strain

They’re supportive

As breast tissue naturally becomes less firm and elastic, it becomes increasingly important to wear supportive bras. Look for options that offer terrific lift and give you the support you need without costing you your comfort. Options that feature wider straps and wireless designs may be especially ideal.

They’re comfortable

Life’s too short to spend it in an uncomfortable bra, and this is especially the case as you age. Not only does older skin sometimes become irritated more easily, but factors like mobility issues or surgeries can make superior comfort an absolute necessity. Comfortable bras for older women are ideally wireless, seamless, and ultra-soft for these reasons.

They’re easy to get on and off

Putting on a bra and taking it back off again can be a challenge even for the youngest, most flexible women out there, and things don’t get any easier as you age. Great bras for older women feature user-friendly designs that pull on easily. Many options from the Evelyn & Bobbie catalog actually allow you to step into them like you would a pair of pants and they can easily slip over your hips. 

Are bralettes good for older women?

Bralettes can be decent alternatives to traditional bras for older women, as they’re generally a lot more comfortable. They’re lightweight, easy to wear, and typically don’t have underwires. However, not all bralettes may be appropriate for women with larger breasts or who otherwise require more support.

Wireless bras from Evelyn & Bobbie bring that same level of comfort to the table but without sacrificing a thing when it comes to support, making them some of the best options for older women out there. In fact, no matter what size, shape, or shade you happen to be, we’ve got you covered with supportive, comfortable, beautiful styles of bra options you’ll love.
