4 Reasons Why I’m Ditching Victoria’s Secret Bras for ThirdLove Instead

If I had a dollar for every time I yanked up a slipping bra strap or winced at an underwire digging into my ribs, I’d probably have enough to buy a new wardrobe. Like many of us, I’ve endured years of bras that looked good but didn’t feel right. Victoria’s Secret was no exception—they gave me glam but left me fidgeting all day.

Then, I found ThirdLove’s 24/7 Classic® T-Shirt Bra, and honestly, I wasn’t expecting much. How different could it be? But after a few weeks of wearing it, I’m sold. Here’s why I’m officially breaking up with Victoria’s Secret and sticking with ThirdLove.

1. Cups made for every and any woman

For years, I thought something was wrong with me, not the bras. Victoria’s Secret cups always felt off: too loose, too tight, or with gaps that made me self-conscious in fitted tops. Then I found out about ThirdLove’s memory foam cups, and everything changed.

These cups mold to my shape, giving me a custom fit that no other bra has achieved before. Plus, they hide any nipple outlines (bye-bye, awkward moments).

Not to mention the half-cup sizes. Did you know those existed? I didn’t either. Turns out, I’d been wearing the wrong size for years. Those in-store bra fittings? Let’s just say they weren’t exactly helpful. With Victoria’s Secret, I always felt like I had to “settle” for a size that wasn’t quite right.

ThirdLove’s half-cup sizes feel like they were custom-made for me. No gaps, no spillage, and no discomfort. It’s honestly shocking how much better a properly fitted bra can make you feel. 

2. Adjustable straps that actually stay put (whoot-whoot!)

Raise your hand if you’ve spent an entire day shrugging your shoulders to fix slipping straps. Yep, me too. Victoria’s Secret bras made this a constant battle, and honestly, I was over it.

But the T-shirt Bra’s stay-put pleated straps won’t budge. Whether I’m reaching for the top shelf, bending down to tie my shoes, or running after my dog, the straps stay exactly where I want them.

3. A seamless back that disappears under clothes

If there’s one thing I loathe about bras, it’s when they ruin an outfit. Those bulging straps and lumpy back bands from Victoria’s Secret bras always showed through my favorite tops and dresses. ThirdLove bras have a double-layer back that lies completely flat, creating a seamless look even under the clingiest fabrics. I’ve tested it with everything from a tight tank top to a silky blouse, and every time, I was amazed.

4. Built to last, and easy to care for

Bras aren’t cheap, so they need to hold up through regular wear and washing. My Victoria’s Secret bras always stretched out or frayed after a few months, leaving me frustrated.

The 24/7 Classic® T-Shirt Bra, on the other hand, is built to last. Made with 76% nylon and 24% spandex blend, it feels sturdy but soft. And caring for it is a breeze; I toss it in a lingerie bag, wash it in cold water, and lay it flat to dry. After multiple washes and multiple months, it still looks and feels brand new. For $72 (or less if you subscribe), it’s an investment that’s actually worth it.

Thirdlove is my new go-to for bras

Switching to ThirdLove’s 24/7 Classic® T-Shirt Bra has been eye-opening. From memory foam cups to stay-put straps, every detail feels like it was designed by someone who actually understands what women need. I’ve learned that bras don’t have to be uncomfortable or short-lived—they can be functional, flattering, and worth every penny.

So, Victoria’s Secret? Who’s she? If you’re tired of fidgeting with bras that don’t fit or last, give ThirdLove a shot.
