Bras at Walgreens

Slipping on a bra before the rest of your clothing treats you to a number of benefits during the day. Bras provide support for your breasts and help carry their weight to take strain off of your back. Plus, the lifting and shaping benefits of bras flatter your figure and reduce uncomfortable bouncing. Walgreens makes it easy to shop for bras for work, play and relaxing. We carry a diverse assortment of undergarments and give you the freedom to shop in stores or to place an order online. Explore the latest bras available among our accessories and clothing and discover the best style to meet your needs.

Underwire vs. Wireless

One of the first things to consider when shopping for a bra is whether you prefer an underwire or wireless style. Underwires are U-shaped metal pieces that are inserted underneath the cups of bras and sewn into place. With their rigid, sturdy construction, underwires help to lift the breasts and provide strong support. As a result, they are popular with women who have large breasts that require extra lifting benefits. Wireless bras do not contain underwires and offer lighter support. They are ideal for women with smaller breasts and for those who simply prefer not to wear underwires.

Comparing Straps

Another feature to consider when shopping for bras is the strap style. Some bras feature thick, wide straps that stay in place on the shoulders and offer extra lift. Others feature narrower straps that are less visible when wearing sleeveless clothing. These straps are often adjustable, giving you the ability to adjust the fit.

Considering Closures

As you shop for bras, you can also compare how the different designs open and close. Some bras are simply pulled on over your head like a t-shirt or top. Others feature hook closures located either in the front or back. Both types are simple to remove. Some women find back closures to be a little more difficult to fasten, while front closures may be visible under some types of clothing.

Weighing Cup Options

Cup styles can vary greatly from bra to bra. Some bras feature padded cups that enhance the shape of the bustline. Lined cups prevent sheerness for modesty and are a popular option for daytime. Full coverage bras contain large cups that cover most of the breast. Demi cups and plunge bras have smaller cups, allowing some cleavage to remain visible. These types of bras are ideal for wearing under dresses and tops with scoop and V-necklines.

Finding the Right Size

Size is an important consideration when shopping for bras. If a bra is too small, it can squeeze and pinch, leading to discomfort. A bra that is too loose may not provide adequate support. Each brand establishes its own sizing system. Often, bras feature a band size measured in numbers and a cup size measured in letters. Some styles have comparative sizing like Small, Medium and Large. You can read the product descriptions and check the sizing charts for more information about how each bra in this selection is sized.
