What's the best bra for travel? That depends on who you ask — not to mention where you're going, the weather forecast, and what activities are on the itinerary. In any case, comfort is crucial.

"Small details can make a big difference in how comfortable a bra is," says ThirdLove co-founder and chief creative officer Ra'el Cohen. She recommends soft, stretchy fabrics and "tagless, itch-free labels."

With this in mind, we searched high and low to find bras for every preference, outfit, occasion, and bust size. From classic underwire designs with ample support to non-restricting wire-free bralettes and everything in between, there's something here for everyone.

Best Overall

Honeylove silhouette bra.

This best-seller shapes, lifts, and supports without an underwire, plus it has removable padding and straps that can be worn two ways.

If you're in between sizes, the brand recommends ordering a size down.

Our top choice comes from Honeylove. The brand's best-selling Silhouette Bra is designed to provide shape and contouring to compliment your natural curves. Instead of a traditional metal underwire, it has a bonded underbust to lift, while the 3D-printed velvet adds support on all sides and separates to prevent a uni-boob look.

The back closure and shoulder straps are adjustable. You can leave the shoulder straps as-is or criss-cross them when wearing a racerback tank. Adding to the overall versatility, the cup pads are also removable. This bra generally runs true to size, but if you're in between, Honeylove suggests ordering the smaller size.

The Details: XS to 3X | Nylon, spandex | Hand wash, line dry

Best Budget

Hanes comfortflex fit wireless bra.

It's not only affordable but also soft, comfy, and breathable with a barely-there feel.

The straps aren't very durable, so don't be surprised if the bra needs replacing sooner than later.

This T-shirt bra from Hanes won't run you more than $20. Made of soft, flexible materials with mesh at the center and sides, the tagless design boasts an ultra-lightweight, barely-there feel and breathable comfort. Though wire-free, it still offers plenty of support and shape with its lightly lined foam cups.

The straps can be worn straight or criss-crossed to stay hidden under different shirt styles. However, they aren't the most durable, so you might have to replace your bra within the first year.

The Details: S to 3XL | Nylon, spandex | Machine wash warm

Best Investment

Thirdlove 24/7 classic t-shirt bra.

This T-shirt bra molds to your body, smooths your sides, and stays in place, thanks to the non-slip shoulder straps.

The pleated straps might create a rippled texture under thin or tight shirts.

If you're open to spending a bit more on a high-quality bra, ThirdLove won't let you down. The brand's super popular 24/7 Classic T-Shirt Bra has thin memory foam padding in the cups that molds to the shape of your body, while the smoothing sides and back promise to stay invisible under your clothes.

You can rely on the non-slip shoulder straps to stay in place all day. The straps are pleated on the front to enhance flexibility, but we should note this could create a rippled texture if your shirt is a thinner material.

The Details: 32A to 44H | Nylon, spandex | Hand wash cold or machine wash in lingerie bag, air dry

Best Underwire

Soma intimates perfect coverage bra.

The plush and non-pokey Embraceable Bra provides support without sacrificing comfort.

It doesn't come in any A-cup sizes.

Prefer a classic underwire? Soma might be your best bet. The Embraceable Bra provides the support of underwire cups without an uncomfortably firm or pokey feeling. Made of supremely soft, stretchy, plush materials, it feels good against the skin and looks totally smooth under clothing.

You can adjust the back and shoulder straps for a more customized fit and cross the straps to accommodate racerback shirts. This bra is available in a pretty wide range of sizes, but it doesn't come in an A cup.

The Details: 32B to 42DDD | Nylon, spandex | Hand wash cold

Best Wireless

Victoria’s secret t-shirt lightly-lined full-coverage bra.

Victoria’s Secret

This comfy bra lifts, supports, and shapes with lightly lined, contoured cups.

The back strap will expand slightly with continued wear.

For those who don't like wires but also don't want to sacrifice support, we recommend this lightly lined option from Victoria's Secret. The contoured cups add just enough shape and lift without super thick padding.

With adjustable, crossable shoulder straps, this adaptable bra will work with almost any outfit. We also like that you can remove the cup liners for a lighter feel and more compact packing in a suitcase.

The Details: 32A to 44G | Cotton, modal, recycled polyester, elastane | Hand wash

Best Bralette

Harper wilde bliss triangle bralette.

Harper Wilde

The Bliss Triangle Bralette is super smooth and stretchy, offering just enough coverage on days when comfort is a top priority.

It doesn't offer much in terms of lift, and the back isn't adjustable.

Our favorite bralette comes from Harper Wilde. This one is made without wires, padding, foam, or contoured cups. Like loungewear for your bust, the Bliss Triangle Bralette is smooth, stretchy, and exceedingly soft, offering just enough coverage on days when all you want is to be comfy.

Although it doesn't provide as much lift or shape as others on our list, you can count on all-day comfort. And while you can't adjust the back, the shoulder straps can be tightened or loosened.

The Details: XL to 4XL | Nylon, elastane | Machine wash warm in lingerie bag, hang dry

Best T-Shirt Bra

Skims t-shirt bra.

The stretchy, lightly lined demi cups conform to your shape and promise to fit even if you're in between sizes.

Popular sizes and colors sell out frequently.

A T-shirt bra is one wardrobe staple you'll always be glad to have on a trip. We love this one from Skims. Like other pieces from the brand's fan-favorite Fits Everybody line, it's lightweight, incredibly comfortable, and endlessly versatile.

This bra has lightly lined demi cups with a flexible underwire that supports without digging into your skin. The cups also feature a stretchy material that's supposed to conform to your unique shape and fit your chest even if you're in between sizes.

The Details: 30A to 46H | Polyamide, elastane | Machine wash cold

Best for DD+ Cups

Savage x fenty cotton jersey unlined bra.

Savage X Fenty

This bra offers support with a traditional underwire and full-coverage cups while shaping your bust without unnecessary padding.

You may want to put  in the work to sign up for the monthly VIP paid membership to make it less expensive.

Savage X Fenty's inclusive size range goes all the way up to 46H — thanks, Rihanna. If you wear size DD or above, we recommend the Cotton Jersey Unlined Bra. It offers support with a traditional underwire and full-coverage cups while forgoing unnecessary padding.

The price is reasonable, if you ask us, but you can get it at a discounted rate by signing up for a VIP membership. That said, the paid membership is $60 a month, so it's only worth it if you want to frequently buy new items.

The Details: 30A to 46H | Cotton, nylon, spandex | Hand wash cold, line dry

Best for Small Busts

Subset organic cotton scoop bralette.

Offering support without flattening your chest, this bralette can be worn with casual clothes or activewear.

Hand washing is recommended, but you can easily do this in a home rental or even a hotel room.

Those with smaller busts should consider Subset (formerly Knickey). This bralette is made of organic cotton with some synthetic fibers blended in for added stretch and durability. Featuring a simple pullover design, a scoop neckline, and a ballet back, it can work as an everyday bra or a sports bra if you plan to get active.

But unlike most sports bras, it has curved seams down the front to provide support and subtle lift while preventing a flattened chest. We also appreciate that this bra can be rolled or folded compactly for easy packing.

The Details: XXS to 3XL | Organic cotton, elastane, tencel, polyester, spandex | Hand wash cold, hang dry

Most Versatile

Lively all-day plunge no-wire bra.

With supportive cups, removable padding, a plunging neckline, and convertible shoulder straps, this bra can be worn with any shirt.

If you're in between sizes, go up with the band or down with the cup.

In terms of versatility, Lively's All-Day Plunge Bra is hard to beat. Like a classic T-shirt bra but without the wires, it won't poke or dig into your skin but still provides plenty of support with the lightly lined demi cups. And you can remove the padding if you prefer a less bulky look or feel.

With a plunging neckline and convertible shoulder straps, you can wear this bra with V-necks, low-cut tops, racerback tanks, T-shirts, sweaters — you name it. We also like that the shoulder straps adjust in the front for easy fixes throughout the day.

The Details: 32A to 38DDD | Rayon, spandex

Most Supportive

Natori active underwire bra.

The Power Comfort Bra has full-coverage cups, a hidden underwire, and non-slip straps to keep everything in place while you're on the move.

It doesn't come in A or B cup sizes.

Natori's Power Comfort Bra isn't messing around. The exceptionally supportive design features full-coverage, two-ply cups that create a flattering shape without any thick padding. Meanwhile, a hidden underwire and non-slip straps keep everything in place while you're on the go and ensure a seamless, bump-free appearance.

The stretchy, durable material wicks away moisture, dries quickly, and provides UPF 50 sun protection. With that in mind, you can wear this bra on travel days, while working out, hiking, or even for a swim.

The Details: 32C to 40DDD | Nylon, elastane | Hand wash, line dry

Best Shaping

Evelyn & bobbie evelyn bra.

Evelyn & Bobbie

The seamless, wire-free Evelyn Bra offers dramatic lift while smoothing your sides and back to prevent bulges.

You can expect it to feel snug at first, then it'll mold to your shape after a few wears.

The Evelyn Bra is like a push-up bra but much more comfortable and less detectable underneath your clothes. Its seamless, wire-free design is structured to provide dramatic lift while adapting to your natural shape.

We like that the scalloped edges sit against your skin without cutting in, while the smoothing sides and back prevent bulges and telltale lines. What's more, this bra is made of a sweat-wicking fabric treated with antimicrobial protection, meaning it won't harbor bacteria that cause odors. Just a heads up, it'll feel tight at first, but after three wears, it'll mold to your body.

The Details: S to 3XL | Polyamide, elastane | Machine wash cold, lay flat to dry

Best Smoothing

True & co true body v neck bra.

Featuring wide straps and full coverage around the side and back, this seamless bra disappears under clothing and never digs into your skin.

The size range is somewhat limited.

This bra is made of a soft and flexible yet supportive fabric. With wide straps and full-coverage sides that seamlessly wrap around the back, it never digs into your skin and disappears under your clothes — no divots, bulges, or bulky seams to be seen.

The minimalist pullover style looks like a sports bra at first glance. But thanks to the contoured cups, it'll provide lift and enhance the shape of your bust rather than flattening it out.

The Details: XS to XL | Nylon, elastane | Hand wash, line dry

Best for Travel Days

Bombas ribbed seamless bralette.

This buttery-soft, ultra-stretchy bralette will keep you comfy when traveling from point A to point B.

The brand recommends ordering up if you're in between sizes.

Travel days can be unpredictable, with potential delays and limited space to get comfy. That's why it's always best to wear clothing that allows you to move freely or snuggle up if the occasion arises. Bombas is a great option for undergarments — we're particularly fond of their Ribbed Seamless Bralette.

Buttery-soft with excellent stretch, it basically feels like you're wearing nothing. Though the largest size is XXL, this bra is supposed to fit up to an F cup size. If you're in between sizes, the brand recommends sizing up.

The Details: XS/S to 2X | Nylon, modal, elastane | Machine wash cold, tumble dry low

Best Sustainable

Everlane the invisible bra.

Made from regenerated nylon, the Invisible Bra isn't just eco-friendly but it’s also flattering and comfortable.

It may not be supportive enough (or available in big enough sizes) for larger busts.

Everlane's Invisible Bra was made with comfort and versatility in mind. It has a low V-neckline, seamless cups, full-coverage sides, and a smoothing back. It can be worn with various tops and stays put when you move around.

We also like that it's made from Econyl®, a type of regenerated nylon sourced from recycled plastic bottles. Everlane has also reduced its supply chain use of virgin plastic by 90 percent.

The Details: XXS to XXL | Regenerated nylon, elastane | Machine wash cold, tumble dry low

Tips for Buying Bras for Travel

Prioritize comfort.

Keep comfort in mind when shopping around. "For women with a larger bust, that might mean an underwire bra that provides greater support," says Bare Necessities bra fit expert Tracy Freno. "However, many prefer to wear a wire-free bra that they won't feel as restricted in."

As Cohen notes, soft, stretchy, tagless designs are ideal. Thick straps and extra coverage around the sides and back can also help prevent a bra from digging into your skin. Before heading on your trip, try the bra on and wear it for a few hours to make sure it doesn't poke, rub, or chafe.

Consider versatility

Versatility is also crucial. Look for a bra you can wear with numerous outfits and shirt styles — think T-shirts, V-necks, sweaters, form-fitting shirts, and low-cut tops. It's also helpful to have straps that not only adjust but also can be removed or worn different ways, like criss-crossed to hide underneath a racerback shirt.

Additionally, moisture-wicking, odor-resistant fabrics will allow you to wear the bra multiple days on your trip without washing it. In some cases, one bra might be enough. Or you could wear one on travel days and pack another in your suitcase.

When choosing a bra for travel, look for comfort features. This could be soft, stretchy fabrics, sweat-wicking materials, breathable mesh panels, thick straps, or an all-around lightweight design. You might opt for a wire-free pullover style (like a bralette) or something slightly more supportive but still comfy, such as a wireless shaping bra with lightly lined cups.

If you're staying somewhere without a washer and dryer, you can hand wash your bra in the sink. Fill the sink with cold or lukewarm water and add a few drops of mild soap. Submerge the bra in the soapy solution, swirl it around for a minute, then let it soak for about 10 minutes. After that, rinse your bra with cold water, carefully squeeze the excess water out, and hang it up to air dry. (Removing the cup pads before washing will help it dry quicker.)

"I recommend a wireless bra," says Cohen. She adds that a versatile style that works under different outfits is ideal, as you may need to change at your destination. According to Fresno, the best option is a lounge-style bra you "might wear to relax at home that barely feels like you're wearing one at all." This could be a bralette, a wire-free shaping bra, or a lightly lined T-shirt bra with contoured cups.

What Makes a Good Bra For Travel?

• Comfort : After hours of exploring, you’ll need a bra that’s breathable, adjustable, and supportive. It should feel like a second skin, moving with you, not against you.
• Durability : Travel can be tough on our clothes, and bras are no exception. Opt for high-quality materials and construction. A good travel bra should withstand multiple wears and washes without losing its shape or comfort.

• Easy maintenance : When you’re on the go, the last thing you need is high-maintenance clothing. A great travel bra should be easy to clean and quick-drying.
• Security : Travel bras with hidden pockets are a secret weapon against pickpockets. Perfect for stashing extra cash or a copy of your passport!
• Quick-drying: The ability to dry quickly is essential, especially if you need to wash your bra during your trip.
• Moisture-wicking: Bras with moisture-wicking properties keep you dry and fresh, especially during hot and humid travel conditions.

To keep your bras in tip-top shape, avoid folding padded bras; instead, tuck your undies into the cups to help them maintain their shape.

Washing your travel bra during your trip is essential to keep it fresh and clean. Follow these steps for hand washing your bra:

• Fill a sink or basin with lukewarm water and add a gentle detergent.
• Submerge your bra in the water and gently agitate it.
• Let it soak for 15-30 minutes, depending on how soiled it is.
• Rinse the bra thoroughly with cold water until all the soap is gone.
• Gently press out excess water—avoid wringing or twisting the bra.
• Lay the bra flat on a clean towel and roll it up to remove excess water.
• Reshape the bra and let it air dry.

How do you travel with a bra?

Traveling with a bra is relatively simple, but to ensure it stays in good condition, consider the following tips:

• Pack bras flat: Folding your bras flat in your luggage will help them maintain their shape.
• Use travel cases: If you prefer added protection, consider using specialized bra travel cases or lingerie bags.
• Avoid crushing: Try not to place heavy objects on top of your bras to avoid crushing the cups.
• Wear during travel: Consider wearing your bulkier or heavier bras during your travel day to save space in your luggage.

Are there travel bras with built-in security features?

Yes, some travel bras are designed with built-in security features to protect your valuables during your journeys. These bras may have discreet pockets or hidden compartments to store small items like cash, credit cards, or keys safely. They can be particularly useful in crowded areas or when you want to travel light without carrying a purse or wallet.

Can I wear a travel bra as an everyday bra?

Absolutely! Many travel bras are designed to be versatile enough for everyday wear. They offer the same comfort and support as traditional bras but often come with additional features suitable for travel. This dual functionality makes them a practical choice for daily use and ensures you get the most out of your purchase.

What are the best travel bras for hot climates?

In hot and humid climates, breathability and moisture-wicking properties are essential. The best bras for hot weather travel are made from lightweight and breathable fabrics such as bamboo, modal, or moisture-wicking synthetic materials like polyester or nylon. Seamless bras are also a great option to prevent chafing and discomfort.

Can I use a sports bra as a travel bra?

Sports bras can make excellent travel bras, especially if you’re planning active adventures during your trip. They provide ample support, are often made with moisture-wicking materials, and are generally quite comfortable. However, ensure the sports bra you choose is versatile enough to be worn comfortably throughout your journey.

Are there travel bras for plus-size travelers?

Absolutely! Travel bras come in a range of sizes to accommodate all body types. Look for brands that offer extended sizing options and prioritize comfort and support. High-quality plus-size travel bras will provide the same features as regular-sized bras, ensuring everyone can have a comfortable and enjoyable travel experience.

Are there travel bras for nursing mothers?

Yes, there are travel bras specifically designed for nursing mothers. These bras offer easy access for breastfeeding while providing the necessary support and comfort for travel. Look for nursing travel bras with convenient nursing clips or drop-down cups for seamless feeding on the go.

Can I use a travel bra for hiking and outdoor activities?

Absolutely! In fact, some of the features that make travel bras suitable for journeys also make them excellent choices for outdoor activities like hiking. Moisture-wicking, quick-drying, and breathable materials will keep you comfortable during your adventures, and the added security features can be helpful when exploring unfamiliar terrains.

How many travel bras do I need for a trip?

The number of travel bras you need depends on the length of your trip and your packing preferences. As a general guideline, packing two to three travel bras should be sufficient for most trips. This way, you can rotate them, allowing time for washing and drying if needed. Choose versatile bras that can be paired with multiple outfits to maximize their utility.

Can I wear a travel bra under swimwear?

Some travel bras, especially those made from moisture-wicking materials, can be suitable for wearing under swimwear. However, it’s essential to check the specific product details and ensure the bra is designed to be used in wet conditions. For added versatility, look for travel bras that can double as swim tops.

Are there eco-friendly travel bras available?

Yes, as sustainability becomes more important in the fashion industry, eco-friendly travel bras are also becoming available. Look for bras made from organic or recycled materials and from brands with a commitment to ethical and eco-friendly practices.

Can I wear underwire bra to airport?

Yes, you can wear an underwire bra to the airport. Underwire bras are allowed and perfectly fine to wear during airport security screenings. The underwire in the bra should not cause any issues during the screening process. Airport security personnel are accustomed to passengers wearing underwire bras, and they are not considered a problem or prohibited item.

However, if you find underwire bras uncomfortable during long flights or if you have concerns about the metal detectors, you can also choose to wear wire-free bras or sports bras for added comfort and flexibility. Ultimately, the choice of bra depends on your personal preference and comfort level during travel.

Having the right travel bra can really make a difference to your comfort and convenience while on the road. With so many options available, there’s no need to compromise on comfort or style. Ladies, our globetrotting adventures deserve the very best in every way, including the best travel bras !

Remember, your bra should be your best travel buddy – supportive, reliable, and always there to lift you up when you need it.

Travel asks a lot of your wardrobe. Not only do your pieces have to fit well and be comfortable for all-day wear ⁠— including sitting in the plane, train, or car for hours on end ⁠— it has to not wrinkle or get damaged easily when stowed away, too. The best travel bras have the versatility to transition from day to night while staying comfortable and easy to pack.

For plane trips or any other travel that requires walking through a metal detector, it's important to consider if you want to wear an underwire bra through security or not. An underwire is fine to wear on board , according to the TSA, but some readers of TravelFashionGirl.com report regularly getting patted down in airports when wearing an underwire while others have not experienced this problem. However, there are plenty of wireless bras on the market that provide plenty of support if you'd rather not risk the hassle.

Next, consider the destination, wardrobe, and personal preference. For long trips or warm locales, quick-drying materials that are breathable and easy to wash are a big plus. And if your outfits have you considering a strapless bra, consider a convertible model you can wear in different ways throughout your trip.

With all that in mind, scroll on for the best travel bras on Amazon . These picks offer plenty of versatility, are easy to pack without damage, and are comfortable for hours on end. When you've picked what to bring, then comes the question of how to pack bras . For delicate ones, stacking your bras (perhaps even adding socks and underwear in between) will be the gentlest way to go. But those looking to save space may prefer to fold their bras in half.

The Overall Best Wire-Free Bra

• Also available on BareNecessities.com, $27, and Macys.com , $44

You'll get plenty of support with this wireless bra without the worry of setting off metal detectors. With a wide band for smoothness all around your ribcage and stay-put adjustable straps, it's easy to wear in comfort. The lightly padded cups provide extra coverage and support. Plus, there are dozens of colors to choose from. The only drawback might be that it's recommended to hand wash.

According to a reviewer: "My favorite leisure and travel bra! I just cannot wear underwire when traveling/sitting for long periods of time. This bra surprisingly provides good support and separation for my 40DDD girls."

• Available sizes: X-Small - 3X-Large

A Travel Bra Made From Breathable, Antimicrobial Material

• Also available on MooseJaw.com , $27

Made with an antimicrobial fabric that’s designed to tackle unwanted odors, this machine-washable travel bra is great for hot locales and all-day walks. The breathable and quick-drying nylon and spandex material also helps keep you cool. (How quickly it dries also makes it a great pick for backpacking or other trips when you need to do laundry but facilities aren’t the easiest to access.)

According to a reviewer: "Best barely bra ever! This does exactly what I want: start comfortable, provide minimal support, absorb boob sweat, and stay comfortable. Fabric feels great, dries fast, and breathes. I like that it's lowcut enough to wear under shirts with a low neck line. These have become an everyday wear."

• Available sizes: X-Small - X-Large

A Seamless Bralette That’s Great For Travel

• Also available on BareNecessities.com , $20, and CalvinKlein.us , $40

Customers love how comfortable this bralette is, giving it a 4.6-star overall rating. Made of a elastane, microfiber, and nylon blend, it's stretchy and soft while staying seamless underneath clothes. It is lightly lined and has removable pads for addition coverage. It's machine washable and also super easy to fold and pack. Choose from a dozen solids and even a floral print.

According to a reviewer: "These bras are amazingly comfortable yet supportive. I wear a 38 DD and ordered the XL [...] This leaves no lines under your clothes and is so lightweight and breathable that you forget you’re wearing a bra at all!"

The Cult-Favorite Sports Bra That Doubles As A Crop Top

When traveling, versatility is key. And this sports bra and crop top in one is a great multi-use way to save space in your luggage. Made from a stretchy nylon-spandex blend, this TikTok favorite has earned a 4.5-star rating after more than 35,000 reviews. The padding is removable, and it comes in a rainbow of solid colors.

According to a reviewer: “Literally the most comfortable and most supportive sports bra ever. I have wore it hiking, on a road trip, and while tailgating and I have never felt so good. Worth the buy. I have recommended it to everyone I know.”

• Available sizes: Small - XX-Large

A Budget Cooling & Supportive Wire-Free Bra

• Also available on Kohls.com , $38, and Jcpenney.com , $38

This wireless bra will keep you dry, cool, and supported all day long during your trips while staying smooth underneath your outfits. Made with a special moisture-wicking Chill FX lining, it's a great choice for trips to hot destinations. The straps are even convertible to a racerback. However, it's hand-wash recommended.

According to a reviewer: "This bra is soft and comfortable, even in hot weather. No seams to show under a t-shirt or polo. It provides enough support for me, without having a wire. In bras with wires, they inevitably poke me. When traveling, washes easily in the sink and dries overnight, even in muggy, un-air conditioned rooms."

• Available sizes: 34B - 40C

The Best Underwire Bra For Travel

• Also available on Kohls.com , $40, and BareNecessities.com , $20

If you'd prefer the support of a underwire, this bra will stay comfortable all day. The smartly contoured cups and high side panels are smooth under clothes, and this style is machine washable. However, the real selling point here is how comfortable this is from the nylon and spandex blend fabric down to the shape. It's also available in a wireless style .

According to a reviewer: "I have been trying, literally, every brand of bra to find something that fits comfortably and gives good coverage in a t-shirt. Finally, I found my correct sizing and the coverage I need."

• Available sizes: 34B - 40D

A Pack Of Light-Support Sports Bras For A Great Price

• Also available on HerRoom.com , $17, and Fruit.com , $17

These stretchy and comfortable cotton sports bras are a great, budget-friendly choice whether you're working out or just walking around. Ideal for low-impact exercises, they have a double-layered front for a little extra support, and the tag-free build prevents itching. They come in a variety of colors (and even a few prints). At about $5 each, it’s hard to go wrong with these. No wonder they’ve earned more than 40,000 perfect five-star reviews.

According to a reviewer: "I didn't expect them to be as nice as they are. They aren't as substantial as a jog bra but are definitely nice, feel well made & secure. No "headlights," as my mother would say. The fabric is smooth & soft. I washed & dried warm & they didn't shrink much if at all."

• Available sizes: 34 - 50

A Quick-Drying, Cooling Bra Made From Eco-Friendly Bamboo

• Also available on BoodyWear.com , $20

With no padding and made from 80% cooling, eco-friendly bamboo viscose, this is a great pull-on bra for long flights and long days. Plus, plenty of customers have noted how quickly the material dries. It only provides light support but the wide straps and ribbing keep things comfy. Choose from nine muted shades including a wide array of skin tones.

According to a reviewer: “Fits well and will dry quickly. The band at the bottom is a bit thicker than a similar bra by ExOfficio so may take a bit longer to dry. I bought them to dry quickly after hand washing while traveling. Happy with this one.”

The Best Convertible Strapless Bra

To maximize space and minimize the number of bras you'll need to pack, consider a multiway bra . This fan-favorite underwire bra can be worn strapless, as a halter, racerback, on a single shoulder, and with straight straps. With silicone around the edges to prevent slipping and molded, unpadded cups, customers have given this a 4.2 rating overall. However, it's hand-wash only.

According to a reviewer: "I have always had trouble finding bras that fit, but this bra was a MIRACLE! The bra is versatile and could be worn strapless, crossback, or standard. The strapless fit so snug and stayed up all day in my dress. [...] lasts all day. No band irritation."

• Available sizes: 30C - 44DD

Touring the Top 10 Moscow Metro Stations

By Claudia Looi 2 Comments

Komsomolskaya metro station looks like a museum. It has vaulted ceilings and baroque decor.

Hidden underground, in the heart of Moscow, are historical and architectural treasures of Russia. These are Soviet-era creations – the metro stations of Moscow.

Our guide Maria introduced these elaborate metro stations as “the palaces for the people.” Built between 1937 and 1955, each station holds its own history and stories. Stalin had the idea of building beautiful underground spaces that the masses could enjoy. They would look like museums, art centers, concert halls, palaces and churches. Each would have a different theme. None would be alike.

The two-hour private tour was with a former Intourist tour guide named Maria. Maria lived in Moscow all her life and through the communist era of 60s to 90s. She has been a tour guide for more than 30 years. Being in her 60s, she moved rather quickly for her age. We traveled and crammed with Maria and other Muscovites on the metro to visit 10 different metro stations.

Moscow subways are very clean

To Maria, every street, metro and building told a story. I couldn’t keep up with her stories. I don’t remember most of what she said because I was just thrilled being in Moscow.   Added to that, she spilled out so many Russian words and names, which to one who can’t read Cyrillic, sounded so foreign and could be easily forgotten.

The metro tour was the first part of our all day tour of Moscow with Maria. Here are the stations we visited:

1. Komsomolskaya Metro Station  is the most beautiful of them all. Painted yellow and decorated with chandeliers, gold leaves and semi precious stones, the station looks like a stately museum. And possibly decorated like a palace. I saw Komsomolskaya first, before the rest of the stations upon arrival in Moscow by train from St. Petersburg.

2. Revolution Square Metro Station (Ploshchad Revolyutsii) has marble arches and 72 bronze sculptures designed by Alexey Dushkin. The marble arches are flanked by the bronze sculptures. If you look closely you will see passersby touching the bronze dog's nose. Legend has it that good luck comes to those who touch the dog's nose.

3. Arbatskaya Metro Station served as a shelter during the Soviet-era. It is one of the largest and the deepest metro stations in Moscow.

4. Biblioteka Imeni Lenina Metro Station was built in 1935 and named after the Russian State Library. It is located near the library and has a big mosaic portrait of Lenin and yellow ceramic tiles on the track walls.

5. Kievskaya Metro Station was one of the first to be completed in Moscow. Named after the capital city of Ukraine by Kiev-born, Nikita Khruschev, Stalin's successor.

6. Novoslobodskaya Metro Station  was built in 1952. It has 32 stained glass murals with brass borders.

7. Kurskaya Metro Station was one of the first few to be built in Moscow in 1938. It has ceiling panels and artwork showing Soviet leadership, Soviet lifestyle and political power. It has a dome with patriotic slogans decorated with red stars representing the Soviet's World War II Hall of Fame. Kurskaya Metro Station is a must-visit station in Moscow.

8. Mayakovskaya Metro Station built in 1938. It was named after Russian poet Vladmir Mayakovsky. This is one of the most beautiful metro stations in the world with 34 mosaics painted by Alexander Deyneka.

9. Belorusskaya Metro Station is named after the people of Belarus. In the picture below, there are statues of 3 members of the Partisan Resistance in Belarus during World War II. The statues were sculpted by Sergei Orlov, S. Rabinovich and I. Slonim.

10. Teatralnaya Metro Station (Theatre Metro Station) is located near the Bolshoi Theatre.

An excellent read! Thanks for much for sharing the Russian metro system with us. We're heading to Moscow in April and exploring the metro stations were on our list and after reading your post, I'm even more excited to go visit them. Thanks again 🙂
