- In addition to ultra-soft and comfortable underwear, MeUndies makes some of my favorite bralettes.
- I've worn the MeUndies U-Back and T-Back Bralettes ($32 each) for 2.5 years and love them for their stretch, tagless design, and durability.

MeUndies T-Back Bralette Check price at MeUndies Whenever I take time for myself at home, comfort is key.
The bras I own are actually quite comfortable (especially the bras recommended by Insider Reviews), but they still feel way too official for a slow weekend.
Thankfully, MeUndies, maker of wildly comfortable underwear and socks, also offers bralettes to wear during all your lounging sessions and laidback days. In 2017, I was sent the U-Back Bralette and the T-Back Bralette to try at home and in 2020, they remain a couple of my most frequently worn bralettes.
Look and feel of the bralettes
Both bralettes are made with a soft dual-layer jersey fabric that stretches comfortably however you move, and don't have any pesky, itchy tags.
Since it doesn't have top stitching, the U-Back has a smoother finish, so I generally prefer it to the T-Back for casual lounging. The lack of top stitching made a noticeable difference: I barely registered that I was wearing a bralette at all.
Meanwhile, the T-Back feels a little more structured and has a sporty look thanks to its racerback strap style. I loved that the T-shape exposes my back and shoulders and the straps could peek through whatever top I was wearing.
This stylistic difference made me prefer wearing the T-Back if I wanted to pop out of my apartment into the public for a quick errand or coffee run. I also always wear this style under a low-back top when I go out with friends.
Both bralettes come in Classic, Bold, and Adventurous colors. Whether you like simple neutrals, bright pops of color, or flashy graphic prints, you'll find a bralette to suit your personal style. For my U-Back, I chose the black-and-white checker print "Victory Lap," while I got the T-Back in a green "Winter Moss."
Those particular colors and prints are no longer available, but you have plenty of other options, as well as limited-run styles.
What the bralettes are like after 2.5 years of wearing and washing
Both bralettes have held up well after frequent wear and countless washes: they remain stretchy and soft (if not softer than when I first tried them), and none of the stitching has come out.
Depending on which print and color you get, there may be some fading with time. The black and white colors on my U-Back Bralette are no longer as saturated, though that's the main sign of wear-and-tear that I've experienced.
Cons to consider
Since I'm a smaller cup size, I'm not sure how these bralettes will fare for larger chests. According to the site, however, they should fit for sizes up to 42D. I would also check out our guide to best bralettes for a large bust for additional options.
The bottom line
I'm glad that the company heeded the numerous requests from MeUndies devotees to make these soft bralettes a reality a few years ago. Fans of the brand's underwear should definitely consider trying out the bralettes as well because they're just as soft and comfortable.
