The bra is comfortable and the band doesn’t roll. This is my bra for everything not just travel or activities
I love this bra! It's comfortable and feels like I'm wearing nothing. In my mind, the real test of a bra is if it's so comfy that I don't feel the need to take it off as soon as I get home from work! I also love that it says "Stay Golden" inside of the band! My small complaints would be that sometimes the d rolls up a little bit and I have to adjust it, and I wish the material at the nipple area was a little thicker so I wouldn't feel stressed about showing through my shirt.. Overall I love and have already purchased a second one!
I honestly accidentally slept in this the first night after getting it. It is very comfortable! I am on the larger size and wish the band was an inch or two longer to hold my ladies in. Overall wonderful. This is my first time trying out a non-underwired bra and now I want to throw all my other bras away. I am normally a size 34H and got a size L. Would like to try an XL to see if that fits better.
I received my new Essential Hipster’s and I love them. They are extremely comfortable and give the coverage I was looking for. The fabric is undoubtably the best. This is all I wear. Thank You.
Finally, a workout short that stays in place! I was a little skeptical of wool in the summer but they are so good I just bought another pair. They are now my workout favorite.
These are the best, material is soft, wicking and great for everyday and travel. They are pretty much the only ones I wear now.
Perfect for my upcoming travels. These will work for many outfit choices and I'm thinking they might be good to pair with a tank and wear as pajamas. ❤️
Love this bra, comfortable, supportive, and lightweight. Medium fits 36C/D well
This is possibly the most comfortable bra I have ever put on. I ordered M, which is my normal size for similar bra styles. I love how it looks with the matching color of Essential Hipster undies!
They fit perfectly and seem to be quality from the start! I finally purchased 3 pr.
I got this because I've been converting my wardrobe to as much natural fabrics as I can (cotton/linen in summer & merino/cashmere in winter). I had been awaiting for the Essential bra to be restocked, but when this went on sale, I thought I would try. Based on the chart and that is what I ordered. I think the band might fit a little large. It does roll, but I can say I don't feel it at all. In fact, I don't feel the bra at all, so for comfort sake 5 stars. Yet, it gives my 38D boobs no support and my clothes fit differently (not an improvement). I know wireless do not give support and these are no worse than other wireless bras I have tried. Just not sure this is going to replace my wireless bras. I was really hoping because in the last two years, my bras become really itchy in humid weather.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review! We're so glad to hear that you're enjoying the comfort of the bra and that it's helping you transition your wardrobe to more natural fibers.
Based on what you've shared, it does sound like the band may be a little too loose if it's rolling. While our bras are designed to provide light to medium support, the Essential Busty Bra offers more front coverage and support than the Bralette while still remaining wire-free, so it may be a better fit for your needs.

I like a minimalist bra with a deep-enough front V, and the essential bralette is my new fave. Material is comfortable and the cut works well for my 35B self in size L. Medium would probably also be okay, but I prefer not to be too compressed. I would actually prefer black plastic hardware (minimalist, remember?), but the goldtone metal is good quality. Recommend!
The fabric didn’t necessarily feel soft on my fingers, but on my body it felt so soft and breathable. Boob sweat no more :). I didn’t go with the recommended size so use your best judgement. I’m 125lbs and a 32C and it recommended a M but I went with a S and it fits perfectly.
I was skeptical about if the bra wouldn’t smell after multiple days of wear especially when working out but after a week of heavy workouts it still doesn’t smell.
I waited to purchase these bras until I tried a really cheap one on Amazon. I LOVE THIS BRA!! It’s so comfy with medium support and softer than other merino wool bras. Finally a bra with no pads to try to reshape out of the wash. True to size for me. I will live in this bra!
Who would ever think merino wool bralettes would be suitable in hot sticky Houston weather? Well, it’s hot & sticky outside but inside all places Houston it’s freezing cold! So, I chose Branwyn thinking the wool would help (discreetly) keep me warm. I also thought the unique variety of styles & array of colors would be added perks.
After my 1st purchase, it turns out the comfort factors & styles ranked higher! The cut & fit—especially for a person who truly hates tight bras that indent skin (even on a skinny person) & never stay put.
The unique style & design are amazing! The bralette stays put & is super comfortable. The wool fabric does not stretch out, is not hot or skimpy & provides an all-day perfect fit! The fabric adjusts to one’s body, even provides lift, & feels (truly) like a second skin! The fabric looks great under silk, cotton (dressy to casual) & cashmere. The unique design & just enough coverage makes the black bralette under a white shirt a perfect pairing. The straps stay put too & depending on one’s preference—straps under a shirt or a side by side with a little cotton tank are equally flattering.
The wool fabric that stays put with no sweating comes in assorted colors & designs & is why I bought the 2nd bralette (warm nude is neutral) for a slightly different design that works great for a discreet look along with comfort, lift & fit.
The wool is neither hot nor cool. It does not get baggy or fits too tight.
I think the wool fabric is what makes both bralettes look & more importantly—feel great! I’m glad I tried this for “warmth” only to find out these are now my favorite go to bralettes, which I highly recommend!
You have to try one out to see & feel what I tried to convey in this review.
I will be ordering more bras, and trying out the underwear and leggings.
Perfect fit, amazing material. Hopping back online to order another couple right now!
I really like the Essential Busty Bra- I don’t think it works for all of my outfits but enough that I snatched up a 2nd when they had a sale.
Than you for making these hipsters. I brought 3 on the Camino Santiago and loved them so much that I purchased three more when I returned.
This is my first ever Merino wool bra, let alone my first Branwyn experience. I didn't notice the bra as I went from a hike to weight lifting. No tugging, adjusting, or counting the minutes to when I could release the girls as soon as I made it home. (That's not something I've said about ANY bra before). I'm a curvy gal and the girls felt secure as I moved, sweated, and stayed surprisingly cool. I bought the medium, and feel well-supported in that size (as a 36 D) without being constricted. I'm excited to try the racerback next. Can attest to the lack of funk after a few days of wear in a row sans washing. Oh, and did I mention, it's also really pretty? The details are divine in the gentle pattern, construction, and hardware. Highly recommend.
I’ve been searching for months for a bra that fits comfortably and I’m happy to say I found it! For reference I’m a 42 DDD/E and the XXL is perfect right out of the package.
I just bought my 4th bra! These are so comfortable and I wear them for days. Definitely my favorite bra
