Soma Embraceable Wireless Bra Review: Honest Take from a 36G Woman Over 40
I’ve tried dozens of wireless bras and this one is IMO the best for large busts and women over 40!
Nobody talks about underwear enough. And when they do, it’s usually not for bodies like ours.
Finding a bra that actually fits after 40 is genuinely hard. Tights that don’t roll down. Underwear that stays in place and doesn’t give VPL (visible panty lines) or swamp butt (IYKYK).

Since initially writing this post, Soma has launched new bras, discontinued some old ones, and kept many favorites….
As someone with a large bust, it has been a struggle to find sports bras that fit, reduce bounce, and don’t destroy my shape. For years, I have researched sports bra to find one that provides all three. One will fit, but my breasts are to my navel. Another, it gives great shape and lifts…
I often write about bras because as a large-busted woman over 40, I find the process of shopping for bras progressively more complicated the older I get. When I was younger, most any brand that came in my size got the job done. But as I have experienced weight fluctuation, nursing a child, fitness and…
