Tessa Flores is a Staff Writer for HuffPost covering a number of shopping topics and lifestyle trends. The wireless underband is soft and never feels as if it’s digging into my ribs like some high-support sports bra styles I own, yet it still keeps me feeling very lifted. I don’t have the largest bust in the world, but as someone who has quite a lot of sensory issues, I’ve always despised the feeling of my boobs just hanging out without any kind of compression or support and the Embrace bra offers the perfect middlegound. I can also confirm that I never have to adjust or tug at this bra, as it never rides up throughout the day, nor when I’m sleeping (yes, I like to sleep in bras), which I consider to be an impressive feat all on its own, considering that I move around quite a lot in my sleep. And though it will really depend on the person, I believe the Embrace bra has just the right amount of coverage, so if I want to wear lower-cut tops with it, I can, but I also don’t feel like I’m spilling over. It also features adjustable straps that can be secured in the back to make a racerback for even more lift and the cups have removable pads that I choose to keep in because, unlike the removable padding situations that I’ve found in other bras, they actually do stay in place. When it comes to picking out the right sizes for you, Embrace offers flexible sizing in between XS–XL (though, there's currently a waitlist for the XL size), which you can size up or down, depending on how much coverage you prefer. I’m typically between cup sizes (a full B, but barely a C), and 32 around, so you can imagine how much of a challenge it is for me to find bras that fit properly, but I went with a size small in the Embrace and it fits perfectly. Currently, the brand only fits A through C cups, but it’s working on more inclusive options that will suit cups D through F. Just use the featured size guide to help determine which size category you fall in based on your existing band and cup size — it was very accurate for me. “This bra is perfection! Was searching for a comfy non polyester wireless bra for a long time and finally found it. Worth every penny! Fabric is so soft and I love all the details like the soft fabric under the bra straps and the gold clasp you can change the straps. Love that it has padding as well. I originally ordered my usual size small (i’m 34 a) but had to exchange for a M as the elastic which is very stretchy was a tad tight and I prefer looser. Will be back to order all the colors as they are too good! Thank you” —Kristy Asaro “Love this bra. I like that it has removable padding which I like for modesty. It fits my smaller bust really well. The straps and band are so comfortable, I forget I’m wearing a bra. I have the matching bra and panty set in two colours and will be back for the third.” —Cynthia L. “As with the other product lines, the lounge bra did not disappoint! The material is very soft and the band does not cut into my sides causing uncomfortable marks. Bra does not ride up with movement either. I will be buying it in black as well!” —Sarah “I wore it the whole day yesterday after receiving it and didn’t once feel restricted or like I had to readjust them. I struggle with most bras as the underbust gets quite tight at different parts of the day and/or month and leaves a red mark whenever I take them off. No such thing with these babies! This lounge bra seems pretty seamless under a T-shirt too. Definitely my new daily go to! Got a size M for my 36B and they fit just right.” —Clara
