Welcome to Skimm Tested, a series where we put viral products to the test and give you our honest, unfiltered reviews.

What We Tested…

Psst…if you buy a bundle of three or more bras, you’ll get 20% off.

Salma FlexWire Full Coverage Lace Bra: This might be my new go-to bra for daily wear. I was really impressed with the in-depth quiz you take before ordering because otherwise, I never would’ve found this one. I usually shy away from non-padded bras, but this one completely changed my mind. My chest felt supported and secure even when I went out dancing. Needless to say, I will be buying more colors. ($59)
Ivy Full Coverage Underwire Bra: My first impression after putting on this bra was how sexy it was — as in, comfy-sexy. The sheer mesh overlay looked amazing but the flexible wire was so light, I forgot to rip my bra off at the end of the day. The U-shaped back and thicker band created zero bulging, which is perfect for the thinner, lighter tops I’d wear with this bra. ($59)

Zoe FlexWire Sheer Lift Bra: This design is hot. It’s a sexy bralette, but it has the feel of a sports bra, with supportive elastic that sits comfortably on the ribcage. They say never judge a book by its cover…but that’s kind of hard to avoid when a bra is this cute. ($59)
Cooling Wireless Unpadded Demi Bra: This is one of the most comfortable bras I’ve ever put on my body. When I think “comfortable” bras, I think “unflattering,” but this one couldn’t be more different — it actually enhanced my breast shape. I noticed that, even on hot days, I come home with way less boob sweat after wearing it. Thank you, cooling technology. ($56)

Anya FlexWire Full Coverage Bra: This bra is so supportive. It gives you a lift that feels noticeable under clothes. I also love the design. It’s bright and colorful, especially compared to the beige (beige, and more beige) options that I usually find in my size in stores. This had a bit less coverage on the sides, but lots of comfortable support from the FlexWire. Plus, the material felt durable and high-quality, so I don't have to worry about stretching it out or needing a new one in a few months. ($59)
Cooling Wireless Unpadded Demi Bra: The best compliment I could give is that I forgot I was wearing this bra. It was that comfortable. The fabric is breathable and having separate pockets for each cup meant that no heat was created between my breasts. This is a bra that I will be wearing again and again and again. ($56)
