Smoothing Bra FAQs

What are the benefits of smoothing bras?

A smoothing bra is a mid-coverage, silky-cup bra with light underwire and padding. Unlike push-up bras, which have extra padding at the bottom to push up your cleavage, back-smoothing bras typically have less padding.

One of the main benefits of these bras is their smoothing effect, which makes them ideal for wearing under tight-fitting clothing. The seamless cups virtually disappear under clothes and create a smooth silhouette.

These back-smoothing bras are a staple and best for daily wear. They're comfortable and supportive but don't have the pesky bra lines that often happen with other styles. Smoothing bras should fit snugly and slightly lower down on the back.

If you're looking for a bra that won't show any lines, a back-smoothing bra is a solid choice.

We carry many styles including push-up, wireless, demi bras, and bralettes. If you need help deciding which bra size or style is right for you, use our Style Connect service to consult one of our experts today.

Does Soma have different styles of back-smoothing bras for women?

Yes, our back-smoothing bra selection is versatile. You can find wireless bras, unlined, demi, front-closure, strapless, and push-up smoothing bras, to name a few.

Our smoothing bras come in varying levels of support, so you can easily find something that works for you. We have full-coverage, back-smoothing bras that provide extra support and wireless bras that are ideal for women with smaller breasts.

But in addition to all the different styles of smoothing bras we carry, we also have a variety of designs to choose from. You'll find simple bras in nude colorways and colorful bras in shades of pink and red. We also have bras with feminine lace detailing on the front and back for a romantic touch.

Are smoothing bras comfortable?

Our entire selection of bras is comfortable, but our back-smoothing bras are especially so. Smoothing bras are made of a luxuriously soft material that feels as good as it looks. It's smooth on your skin and to the touch, making it one of our most comfortable bras.

These bras provide adequate coverage and support without being too constricting. The armbands won't dig into your skin and instead sit so gently on your shoulders that you'll probably forget you're even wearing a bra in the first place.

Are smoothing bras good for everyday wear?

Yes, smoothing bras are designed for everyday wear. They're comfortable and versatile enough to wear with a wide variety of garments. Whether you're wearing a skin-tight shirt or a loose-fitting dress, a bra with a smooth back is discrete and will disappear under anything you put on.

That said, if you're going to wear your back-smoothing bra every day, you need to take care of it properly, which you can do with our useful bra accessories.
