When it comes to finding the perfect underwear or bra, I've learned the hard way that no amount of marketing hype compares to real, unfiltered reviews. That's why I turn to Reddit, the internet's treasure trove of brutally honest opinions. Anyone can anonymously post, so I'm always reading reviews at my own risk, but when everyone seems to be on the same page about something, I know that it must be the truth.
Today, I was on a mission: My team assigned me the topic of finding the best underwear and bra brands. I certainly have a lot of personal opinions, but there's no way I've tried every single brand on Earth, so it was time to search the web for canny and unfiltered reviews. I started my morning by spending hours scrolling through recommendations from strangers who swear by their tried-and-true brands—there was a review on nearly every brand I was thinking about naming.
The people are passionate about their picks, calling out the softest fabrics, the best fits for every body type, and the brands that hold up wash after wash. After reading dozens of glowing reviews (and a few hilariously scathing ones), I'm ready to refresh my lingerie drawer. If you're looking for pieces that feel as good as they look, these brands are worth checking out.
1. Hanky Panky
Hanky Panky has been a crowd favorite for good reason. Its iconic lace thong is the rare combination of pretty and practical—it feels like wearing nothing but still makes you feel put-together. The signature stretch lace is somehow both delicate and durable, making it my forever favorite.
2. Intimissimi
Intimissimi strikes the perfect balance between glamour and comfort, and its lingerie feels effortlessly chic yet never too precious to wear every day. Whether it's a lace-trimmed camisole or a silk bralette, every piece has that polished, Italian-inspired elegance while still being incredibly wearable.
3. Knix
This brand completely changed the game for me with its leakproof panties. I truly didn't believe in period underwear until I tried them. Knix makes sleek, comfortable, and genuinely reliable pieces that take all the stress out of those moments when you just don't want to think about it. I wear the brand's underwear during all stages of my cycle, and its bras are super supportive as well.
4. True & Co
True & Co makes some of the softest, most comfortable bras and underwear I've ever worn, and the best part is they don't come with an intimidating price tag. The wireless styles feel barely there but still offer just the right amount of support, making them an easy everyday go-to.
5. Aerie
I kept seeing Reddit threads during my research raving about Aerie bras, and honestly, the enthusiasm was convincing enough for me to try them. As it turns out, the hype was real—Aerie's bras are super comfortable, surprisingly supportive, and way cuter than I expected.
6. Savage X Fenty
Savage X Fenty completely changed the game with its inclusive sizing. It's so refreshing to see a brand that truly makes everyone feel seen. The brand's pieces are just as bold and fun as they are comfortable, proving that great lingerie should be for everyone.
