Strapless bras are available with an underbust band, with lacing, with a front closure, with a silicone band, with underwire, with push-up – and of course without all of these effects. However, we will now tell you which one is suitable for which breast shape and size.

- D cup: If you have a D cup, choose a bra with an underbust band, like the Wonderbra Perfect Strapless. In general, choosing a model with an underwire for sizes from D is best so as not to unnecessarily stretch the fabric over time.
- E – F cup: In order to be able to bear the weight of the breast, a bra for your size needs certain stabilizing material such as underwires or light padding.

What should I look out for when buying a strapless bra?
The most important thing about a strapless bra is the support. If it slides down all the time, you’ll just get annoyed quickly. Therefore, the bra should also have a silicone band that prevents it from slipping. It is also important that the bra generally fits well and does not pinch. The right cup size is particularly important here, because if it’s too small, it quickly looks overloaded. The band shouldn’t be too narrow either, otherwise it won’t help the bra with stability. It is best to choose a bra with a band width of 7 – 10 centimetres.
