The Unlined Bra Unveiled:
Is It Right for You?

It goes almost without saying that there are lots of options to choose from when it comes to bras these days – so many that it can be hard to make sense of your choices. Comfort, support, and sophisticated good looks – these are essential factors that are important to most women in a bra, and unlined bras promise to deliver on all of those things.

But what is an unlined bra? How do you know whether you need one? What are the potential benefits of wearing one, and which of the choices out there on the market today offer the best experience? Let’s dive into everything you need to know.

What Is an Unlined Bra?

Also sometimes called unlined wire-free bras, minimalist bras, or unpadded bras, unlined bras are bras that don’t include linings, foam, or additional padding in the cups. Bras of this type typically cover the breast area with just a layer or two of stretchy fabric. The idea is to deliver a bra-wearing experience that:

• Fits you like a second-skin
• Presents a smooth, unlined appearance
• Enhances and supports a natural-looking silhouette

Some assume an unlined bra is always sheer or perhaps not as supportive as some of the alternatives out there, but neither of those things is necessarily true. An unlined bra can definitely be supportive. It can also be opaque, sheer, or anything in between.

Are unlined bras better for you?

The right unlined bra brings some attractive benefits to the table, but it’s not necessarily better for you than the alternatives. “Lined vs. unlined” is more or less a matter of personal preference. But you might want to give unlined wire-free bras a try if any of the following statements apply to you:

• You like the idea of embracing the natural shape of your bustline.
• You love a bra that’s breathable and lightweight, as opposed to bulky.
• Your breasts are sensitive for any reason (including pregnancy) and feel best in a lighter bra with minimal layers.
• You live somewhere hot or otherwise find lined bras to be too warm for your taste.

Unlined wire-free bras may also promote better circulation. However, proper fit and overall design remain the most important factors to consider when shopping for a bra that supports optimal breast health.

• 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.
• Health issues related to chronic pain and bra-related shoulder strain

• 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

What does it mean if a bra is unlined?

It simply means that the bra doesn’t come with a fabric lining or any additional padding in the cups. It doesn’t necessarily mean it’s not supportive or won’t be comfortable for women with fuller figures. Again, it’s all about choosing bras that are right for the occasion and fit you properly.

Where Do Evelyn & Bobbie Bras Fit into the Picture?

Evelyn & Bobbie bras differ from traditional unlined bras in that they do come with padding. However, we’ve designed the pads to be removable to provide the wearer with more versatility and wear options. Without the pads in place, an EB bra works very well as an unlined bra – just one more way you can customize our products to suit your needs and preferences.

Let’s go over some of the other ways our wireless bras help deliver some of the same benefits associated with standard unlined options.

Reframe how you view support

Evelyn and Bobbie bras are proof positive that a bra doesn’t have to be restrictive, binding, or full of uncomfortable components to support you. You can experience the best support of your life while remaining comfortable and enjoying a full range of motion when you know where to look for it, and Evelyn & Bobbie has you covered.

Wire-free comfort

If you love the comfort of wireless bras but also feel you need the support an underwire brings to the table, you’ll definitely want to give our ultra-comfortable bras a closer look. Evelyn & Bobbie bras are wireless bras that replace the underwire with something even more supportive.

Our patented EB Core® technology represents the latest big step in the journey of wireless bras. It cradles, shapes, and fully supports breast tissue without bullying it into place the way an underwire sometimes does. It’s even comfortable for large breasts and fuller figures, providing the comfort and ease of movement many women like in an unlined bra.

Breathable, effortless comfort

Most women who like a good unlined bra love the way it supports them without holding them back or fencing them in. Going unlined and wire-free is virtually synonymous with the idea of natural silhouettes and carefree confidence, and EB bras bring that same freedom to the table.

Our breathable, moisture-wicking fabric features four-way stretch technology for support that keeps up with you throughout your day. In fact, our bras are so comfortable, that many of our customers even like to sleep in them. They’re hypoallergenic and non-toxic, as well, for support you can feel good about on every level.
