Recommendations for non-wired moulded bras or crop tops for small busts

Small boob non wired moulded bra recommendation please!

Im struggling to find a crop top / non wired bra that’s moulded for a bit of shape / cover up nipples for small boobs. I find that they all ride up over my pretty non existent boobs making a weird shape and it’s not very comfy. Not sure if it’s just me that this happens to! Best I have found are victorias secrets but they still ride up. Happy with a crop top too but just find no padding makes me look completely flat. Any recommendations please before I waste more money?! Thank you!!

Following, I'd love to know!

Victoria's secret do one! It's one of my favourites. Just search for non-wired lined bra, they have a few options.

I just saw you've tried them, they do have a few different versions though.

If they ride up over your boobs they are probably too big.

Do you know what - as I wrote that I thought the same thing!! Also I think they stretch a bit so they fit when I try them then eventually ride up. Maybe I should try a smaller back

I doubt they're riding up because they are too loose round your back below your breasts. Possibly it's the vertical height that's lacking (not long enough from the top of the shoulder strap to the bottom of the band)? Or the bulge of your breasts is creating that effect, if you see what I mean.

No suggestions, I'm afraid. I've got a sloggi crop top I wear if I'm worried about see-throughness, but otherwise I only wear bras for sport.

I’m flat chested too and need a moulded cup to give me shape. I have some of these Uniqlo non wired bras. They are really comfy. https://www.uniqlo.com/uk/en/products/E477980-000/00?colorDisplayCode=34&sizeDisplayCode=502

Yes I feel like it’s because my boobs are too small so they all seem to ride up and create a 4 boob effect! I like the look of the sloggi crop tops but then with a tight top I definitely need some padding / shape

Thanks maybe I will try these. They look similar to the Victoria Secrets one but cheaper

I came on to recommend these too. Very comfy and smooth.

@teaandchocolate I have to admit I've never tried to create bigger breasts with padding or what have you, I just enjoy the styles that work without - and the freedom of not needing a bra.

Yeah I completely get this & I do quite like being smaller chested but unfortunately mine are saggy too after breastfeeding all my kids so definitely look better hoisted up a bit !!

There are nice ones in tkmaxx at the moment from nine west.

I've a 28" back 30" boob and needed a medium so they are good for small boobs.

Also lots of coverage and really soft.

Oh and cheap. £17 for 3....i despise paying for bras

mumofbun · 07/04/2026 14:52

Boody or truekind

I have and like both!

These from Victoria’s Secret are amazing - so comfortable and give a really good shape www.victoriassecret.co.uk/style/su780944/h65043

Oh thank you. I have got some Primark crop tops which are quite good and comfy but no padding so a bit flat for tighter / smarter clothes. I will look out for these to try as I’m going shopping tomorrow. I still reckon the bra style ones will ride up though! Feel like it’s a glitch in my anatomy!

I use USA Pro moulded sports bras from sports direct. The comfiest and most stable I has ever gets I wear them all the time now even to working

usually 2 for £16 or something in the shop I go to

I gets a size 10 which be a tight fit over my head and shoulders but fits me perfect on my chest even in high intensity exercising

would recommend to give it a go 🙂

@teaandchocolate It sounds like the band is too big. What dress size are you and what is your underbust measurement? If the band size is correct the bra won't ride up.

teaandchocolate · 10/04/2026 08:56

I got some of the Primark crop tops yesterday but finding them a bit itchy at the moment. I have an H&M triangle crop top that is quite good but it bit rough & not soft however it doesn’t ride up but does feel a bit tight by the end of the day so wondering if my issue is the ones I find comfy are actually too big & hence the riding up! When they fit I find them uncomfortable! Going to try boody next I think!
