From subtle lift to serious cleavage, we've got you covered.

Don't get me wrong, I love a good bralette, and I'm v grateful they've become so popular. But they just don't provide as much support (if any) for the girls, especially for those with fuller busts. While I'm personally a member of the Itty Bitty Titty committee, when these girls are PMSing, they def need additional TLC. This brings us to the padded bra.

Before you tell me you've sworn off padded bras in middle school because of how uncomfortable they were, I'm here to convince you that times have changed! There are more choices out there, including brands where women are designing bras for women, aka prioritizing support, durability, and comfort in addition to looking stunning AF. And, yes, some padded options are full-fledged push-ups bras, with graduated foam and clever angles designed to create serious cleavage and boost you up a cup size or two. But padding can also be ultra-thin, flexible, and purely there for nips coverage and the most subtle shaping. Certain outfits can look and, most importantly, feel better when paired with a minimally-padded bra, like your go-to T-shirt and some of your fave breezy summer dresses.

We've rounded up the best padded bras around, including wireless, balconette, T-shirt, and plunge styles, plus much more. If you're looking for something specific, like a bandeau bra, mesh bra, or Amazon's Best, then we've got those as well for ya. But first, read on for 24 of the best padded bras to shop now, whether you're after extreme cleavage or the most minimal shaping.
