Earlier this summer, boutique underwear brand Embrace offered to send me one of its newly launched lounge bras to try. As a round-the-clock bra wearer who hates underwire, yet craves the type of support they offer, I was ready to put the Embrace bra up against my picky sensibilities. Fast forward to delivery day, it took me a total of 25 minutes of wear time to open up my laptop and purchase two more with my own hard-earned cash.
The first and most obvious selling point was how comfortable this bra felt. Much like you throw on that favorite washed-to-softness baggy T-shirt, this bra imparted that same feeling, to the point where I often forget I’m wearing it.
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.
