5 Women Told Us The Underwear And Bra They Have On Right Now
by The Candidly Team
We’re not creeps. The only reason we want to know what bra/undies women are wearing boils down to this one, we think universal, question:
How are other ladies dealing with the hell-scape that is finding underwear that don’t show under clothes and that don’t make us hate our lives while wearing them?
To answer this question, we decided to turn the cameras inward and ask 5 of our very own Candidly team members what are their go-to underthings. And we did this knowing 3 things:
Though they each have different styles, none of them will do discomfort; 4 out of 5 are over 40 and are done with the days of painful wedgies and stabby underwire.
None of them are walking around with bra bulge or visible panty lines so they must be doing something right.
They have tried on TONS and TONS and TONS of brands of bras and underwear. It’s part of the job, my friends.
So let’s take a peek, shall we?
Audie, Editor-in-Chief
Size: 36C, Medium
WHAT: Aerie Superchill No Show Cotton Thong Underwear*
What she loves: A good thong is being utterly and entirely unaware that you are wearing a thong. The shape is perfect. It feels like nothing. No digging. No cutting. No hip-dip slicing. And for that I would pay an exorbitant amount of money, but how thrilling that it’s under $10!?”
Price:
WHAT: Neiwai Barely Zero Anchored Cup Spaghetti Strap Bra*
What she loves: This bra makes my boobs … bouncy? Yes. That’s the word. Bouncy.
* Gifted
It has absolutely zero clasps, wires, hardware or metal of any kind. Zero. You truly do not rip it off the moment you enter your house after a long day because, simply put, you have forgotten you’re even wearing a bra.
WHAT: Cakes Sticky CAKES™ Circles*
What she loves: These are the most miraculous nipple covers I’ve tried. There’s an indent for the nipple itself so you’re not ripping off your nip when you take them off. The grip is so unbelievable that a full lift is possible all day long.

* Gifted
WHAT: Gap Breathe Hipster*
What she loves: These undies blessedly lack a restrictive, tight elastic at the top, thereby creating a natural stretch at the hip, so there could never be even a whiff of a muffin top.
Danna, CEO
Size: 36C
WHAT: Negative Whipped Non-Wire Bra*
Why she loves it: The love for Negative’s whipped collection is well documented, and certainly our whole team can attest to the fact that it is the softest material that will ever touch your skin. No bra this comfortable has any business looking this good, but Negative is masterful at striking a balance between being able to stand how you feel in your bra and being able to love how you look in it.
Carolyn, Managing Editor
Size: 36C, Medium
WHAT: Neiwai Barely Zero Anchored Cup Classic Bra* and Mid Waist Brief 2.0*
What she loves: Ditto everything Audie said about Neiwai’s Barely Zero bras. I rotate between the spaghetti strap* and this one* when I wear t-shirts or long sleeves, because you see nothing through even your white clothes. The briefs are equally breathable and soft and stay put without ever having to adjust.
WHAT: EBY Sheer Bralette* and Sheer High Cut*
What I love about it: Trying to find a bra/und set that’s exciting and attractive when I already have the criteria of it having to be unbelievably comfortable, supportive, seamless, AND wire-free is not easy. These sets from EBY have been a thrill to discover. The mesh is incredibly supportive and smooth, and the colors and prints are even prettier in person. They also make the smoothest, high-waisted thong*.
Leslie, General Manager
Size: 36DD, Medium
WHAT: Negative Whipped Boy Short*
Why she loves it: Like Danna, I also live in Negative’s Whipped Non-Wire Bra,* and it fits like a dream. I match it with Negative’s brief or this boy short* when I want full coverage. There really isn’t anything I’ve tried that’s more comfortable.
Shae, Marketing Manager
Size: 32A, Small
WHAT: Aerie Sunnie Wireless Lightly Lined Bra*
Why we love it: This bra just molds to your body so there’s no weird bumps or spillover. Because it’s lined, you get all the coverage and support you need but without the awful wires.
