Ever feel like you’re stuck between sizes? ThirdLove has the answer.
Designed for Real Women, By Women, ThirdLove’s bras are created with actual measurements from thousands of women, ensuring a fit for all body shapes and sizes.

Known for its memory foam cups, no-slip straps, and soft, breathable fabric, ThirdLove 24/7® Classic T-Shirt Bra feels absolutely custom-made for your body. The no-show, double-layer back ensures it’s invisible under everything from T-shirts to cocktail dresses. No back bulge or uni-boob problems with this bra.

ThirdLove has redefined what a bra can be—comfortable, luxurious, and perfectly tailored to your body. We are honestly impressed.
SKIMS T-Shirt Bra Overview
The SKIMS T-Shirt Bra is all about combining comfort with shapewear-inspired support. Known for its soft fabrics and body-hugging design, this bra offers an invisible look under any outfit. But we found it a bit too stiff for an everyday bra.
One of SKIMS’ biggest strengths is their size inclusivity—from XXS to 4X. However, the fit is less customizable than ThirdLove which features half-cup sizes. If you’re in between sizes like most of us are, it’s challenging to find the right fit. We also found that the cups dug into our underarms—totally uncomfy.
Pepper T-Shirt Bra Overview
The Pepper T-Shirt Bra is a game-changer for women with smaller busts who struggle with saggy cups and unflattering fits. Designed specifically for AA to B cups, this bra provides a snug, natural fit without the need for heavy padding. Its lightweight design and mesh-lined cups provide a smooth, seamless look under clothes, making it perfect for everyday wear.
While Pepper’s bras are designed to celebrate and flatter small-chested bodies with no cup gaps or unnatural pushup padding, the light support is not enough on more active days. Plus, its narrow size range just does not work for women with fuller busts.
Final Thoughts:
After comparing all three brands in detail, we’re most impressed with ThirdLove’s 24/7® Classic T-Shirt Bra. While SKIMS and Pepper’s bras are fine in and of themselves, they simply don’t tick all of our boxes.
With their unique half-cup sizes and Fitting Room Quiz, ThirdLove solves the age-old problem of finding the perfect fit, ensuring every woman—no matter her size—feels comfortable and supported. This is a bra you’ll forget you’re even wearing.
ThirdLove’s combination of luxurious comfort, inclusive sizing, and thoughtful design makes it our clear winner for anyone in search of the perfect everyday T-shirt bra. We’re obsessed!
