There’s no better feeling than unhooking your bra after a very long, hard day at work, running errands or hosting a lunch with friends and family. Really, there isn’t.
From the straps digging into your shoulder to the sensitivity after wearing them for a long period of time, and more annoyingly, to the underwire digging into your skin; bras are not exactly the most comfortable item of clothing.
That is why finding the right bra is of utmost importance to avoid daily discomfort, and the one to do so seems to be the humble, soft-cup bra.
If you’re looking to add a soft-cup bra to your top drawer then read on as we’ve gathered some of the best available to shop now in Australia.

Why would you wear soft-cup bras?
Soft-cup bras are usually favoured because they don’t have underwire or moulded cups and instead are made of soft, flexible fabric for more support and comfort.
That means no rogue wires poking out to irritate your skin and you can even wear them to sleep for light support during the night or lounging around the house.
