here are plenty of reasons you might want to opt for a full-coverage bra. Maybe you have a fuller bust, want extra support, or are just looking for a bra that stays put without having to readjust it constantly throughout the day. Regardless of the reason, the best full-coverage bras offer ample support, definition, comfort, and help prevent spillover.

Best full coverage bra

By definition, full-coverage bras are those with cups that — you guessed it — cover the entirety of the breast tissue, which means they typically have higher necklines. Their main job is to prevent spillover and reduce cleavage, all while shaping and defining your breasts (i.e., prevent the “uniboob” effect) for a seamless appearance beneath your tops. But full-coverage bras don’t stop at the cup. Many also offer thick or padded straps to comfortably distribute the weight of your breasts, or have wider bands for a smooth appearance in back.

Bali One Smooth U Underwire Bra

Made of silky-smooth microfiber, this padded underwire bra creates a smooth shape underneath all of your clothes — even that fitted white T-shirt. Full-coverage back panels prevent digging in, while the adjustable straps are flatter and wider to prevent slipping throughout the day. Plus, there are petals inside the cups that help conceal nipples.

Helpful review: “I have a hard time finding a bra. I needed a 34ddd and after trying a couple of other styles and having to send back I tried this one. It’s great full coverage yet you can wear almost any top and not have to worry about the bra showing because of the cut of the neck. I also needed to make sure to have ‘no show’ protection and this bra offers modesty petals which work great. All in all it fits good with no side or extreme cleavage bulge and no shoulder discomfort so far from digging straps.”

Wacoal Basic Contour T-Shirt Bra

T-shirt bras are a staple in many wardrobes, and this one from Wacoal is no different. This underwire bra is lightly lined, while its seamless cups create a smooth line underneath your tops. A spacer in between the cups helps separate your breasts to avoid that uniboob effect. The side and back bands are extra-wide, and the adjustable straps are also wider to prevent slipping.

Helpful review: “I wore this all day and it felt snug and secure, and so comfortable. By night time, I honestly could have gone to bed with it on (that is NOT the case with most bras I’ve tried!) The bra looked smooth under my clothes […] Unlike almost every other bra I own, there was no spilling out near the cleavage line as the day wore on. Highly recommend if you experience this problem!”

Playtex 18 Hour Active Lifestyle Full Coverage Bra

If you live in a warmer climate, or you just tend to get overheated during the day, this ultra-comfy, fan-favorite bra is for you. Featuring a high neckline, this wireless bra offers seamless support. The lined, molded cups are made from a breathable fabric, while the support band underneath wicks away moisture to keep you dry and cool. Wide, cushioned straps offer added back support, while extra fabric on the sides and back provide extra coverage. Another bonus? It’s tagless for itch-free, all-day wear.

Helpful review: “The inner lining really does wick sweat away and it evaporated quickly. This is a rare bra that is actually comfortable no matter what position I am in. […] The straps are just wide enough to provide solid, comfortable support. The back band is shaped so that it doesn’t accentuate my folds and creases. It also stays in place without riding up in back.”

Glamorise Elite Performance No-Bounce Wirefree Sports Bra

Gone are the days off doubling up on sports bras at the gym thanks to this camisole-style sports bra. The wireless cups are free of stretch to keep everything in place and minimize bounce, while wide, adjustable straps and hook-and-eye closures in the back offer extra security. You’ll also stay dry and cool, thanks to the bra’s moisture-wicking fabric and mesh inserts.

Helpful review: “Amazing and comfortable fit! I hate doing any type of running or jumping exercises since I feel uncomfortable having my boobs jumping up and down lol. This bra is the absolute best for me, I can run and do jumping jacks without feeling uncomfortable! Great bra, very soft fabric on the breast area and is comfortable for the back and the shoulders!”

Fruit of the Loom Seamless Wire Free Push-up Bra (2-Pack)

This wireless push-up bra offers both comfort and lift. Soft, stretchy fabric and a ribbed elastic band help keep everything securely in place. The bra is reinforced with built-in padding that sits at the bottom of the cup to create a subtle, natural-looking lift and enhance your cleavage, without the discomfort of an underwire. Plus, it comes in a two-pack so you’ll always have one on hand — and at just $19 for both bras, the price can’t be beat.

Helpful review: “I purchase this bra, because it looked as if it would give me the support that I needed without the underwire […] The strips are thin and adjustable which I like. It has the built in padding to give you that perfect lift and shape loving it. I really love this bra because it gives all the support you need without having a wire in it. The bottom band is wide enough to give this bra a smooth silhouette look. The fabric is very soft.”
