Majority will agree – bra shopping is the actual worst. Yet, having a bra that fits well, and looks good, can seriously change your life.
I’ve been busty my whole life, and finding/having a comfortable, nice looking bra has always been a struggle. Shoulder pain, back pain, ugly bras: the struggle is real! So when I see these advertisements for THE BEST BRA EVER I get excited, yet skeptical, because… well, it’s obvious right?
When Thirdlove first came out, they didn’t carry my size, which saddened me immensely. Their bras are super cute, and I wanted to give them a try because while I had found a great bra at Soma (love them, btw) the more well-fitting bras, the better.

Fast forward about a year, and yay! They (potentially) have my size. I take the test, which is quick and very easy. (I was surprised by the size given, but just keep in mind that companies have their own sizes/variations.) Low and behold! They have my recommended size. At the time, they only had ONE bra in my size – which doesn’t surprise me in the least – the 24/7™ Perfect Coverage Bra. Not only does it look comfortable, it’s pretty cute! As far as standard nude bras go.
Taking the plunge – haha, get it? – I went ahead and bought it. One thing you’ll notice; these aren’t the cheapest bras out there by any means. They are a little pricey, which adds an added layer of hesitation when shopping online, right? That being said, they have a 60-day money back guarantee, washed or worn, and they also offer AFTERPAY, which allows you to make payment installments on your purchase; which is what I did.
During the time I was waiting for my bra to arrive, I had a great text conversation with their support team. I was panicking on the size I ordered (I really didn’t think the size they put me in and I ordered, was my size. For curious minds, 36G.) and they were patient, nice and really helpful! So A+ for that!
the fit
The cups are a soft memory foam that doesn’t add a lot of bulk (thank you, because I do NOT need that) and contours the girls nicely! There’s no seam showing on ANY shirt I’ve worn either. And it’s fits perfectly!
One thing that’s different, and took some getting use to, are the straps. They’re shorter, wider and have more padding; sitting wider on my shoulders. BUT! I don’t have imprints at the end of the day. I also, don’t have to constantly tuck the girls back in from spilling over, nor do I have to twist and pull down the band. It looks amazing on, too!
My only slight gripe, is that the metal piece to adjust the shoulder straps slide pretty easily. Which means, it moves throughout the day and I have to readjust them to my preferred length every other morning. It’s not that big a deal, though.
Overall – I love my bra! I recently saw they added the T-Shirt bra which is my next purchase. I do want to try their panties at some point, too. I highly recommend you try them out – especially if you have a hard time finding the perfect fit!

Both my daughter and I have the worst time bra shopping ever. In fact I think my daughter lives in a sports bra she found that fit ok. I have found bras at Torrid. Their sizing surprised me too as from other stores I was wearing G’s etc. but at Torrid they put me in a DD. I’ll have to take Third Love’s test and see what they are like. Bra shopping is the worst thing ever! And why are the girls so damn hard to lose when exercising?!
I need to find a new sports bra! I have tried the SHEFIT, which I love, but I don’t think they’re great for lasting a long time??
I don’t have a lot of options in my size, which is not small or big, but just in the mid-range. I may have to give this a try because it looks great on you.

They do half sizes! Just make sure when doing the test that you answer honestly, and the best you can.
THANK YOU! I really love how it looks
This makes me so happy that you had such a great experience! You look fantastic! I swear, every bra shopping outing I’ve had in the past…lifetime…has ended in tears. It’s so miserable! (And either everyone is my size, or no one is, because stores almost never stock it! W.T.F.) I’ve been hearing about ThirdLove on Book Riot’s All the Books podcast lately, so it’s neat to see another blogger using and enjoying their products!
Thank you! And yes, bra shopping makes me internally scream!
I’ve always struggled with finding my size. But again, I never tried on EVERY bra at the store either, which is SO important and I know that now. Every style, brand, etc. is so different
These bras look fantastic and seems really comfortable!

They are! Best purchase in a long time.
I don’t have big boobs, I’m only a B cup. So thankfully, bra shopping has always been pretty easy for me! I don’t take much pride in my bras though. I rarely wash them and they’re just grey and gross (I sound delightful don’t i haha!) This one is really nice though and I love the sound of the memory foam style cups!

I am so jealous! LOL it’s been terrible for me for years! I hate washing mine, because before they wouldn’t fit right, or it would take days for it to “go back” to how it was ya know? I get it!
Bra shopping is the absolute worst! I gave up trying to find one that fits and won’t hurt my back. Since I don’t work outside the home, I no longer buy bras. I do have a cami that works okay when I need to wear a bra.
Well, that’s a blessing! When I was a SAHM, I didn’t wear one often either and would catch myself while AT THE STORE. And, with my size was not fun hahaha
I love ThirdLove! I have their t-shirt bra and strapless bra and there both so comfy!

I want to try out the t-shirt bra! They added it literally two days after I got mine!
