It’s time to grab that halter sundress from the back of your closet because you have options besides pasties.

As a Deputy Editorial Director for BuzzFeed’s shopping team, I love to get into the weeds of why a product’s worth the money by deep diving into customer reviews, and product-testing as much as possible.

Invest in a couple of these options and you'll finally get full use out of your summer 'fits! That is, if you just choose to wear what you want, when you want instead of waiting around for a special occasion. I rounded up some seamless bikini undies that are very similar to pricier Victoria's Secret pairs, a seamless (but comfy and supportive) nursing bra, and even some high-waisted compression shorts for a smooth look. 

Promising review: "LOVE this bra so much! It is very, very soft, and the padding feels very natural. Bonus — it comes with a band extender, so if you're between sizes, I would recommend sizing down for the band, as you can use the extender if needed. The deep-V means it will work under lower-cut tops — which is what I was specifically looking for. I will definitely be buying more of this bra in other colors." —G.H. Cangahuala

Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in sizes XS–3X, including plus sizes, and 20 colors).

Promising review: "As a petite woman with a larger bust, I find well-fitted and comfortable bras are hard to come by. This one is so comfortable and cute and I really like the way the clasps are sort of magnetic. It makes it easier to find the right hook while uncomfortably reaching your arms completely behind your back, lol." —Amber Way

Get it from Amazon for $18.97+ (available in sizes S–3XL and in 11 colors).

Promising review: "These are great. They wash well, they are very soft, and so thin you can't even see them if you have a tight dress or skirt on. No issues with shrinking. I love them." —jill ann krajewskidolores

Get a six-pack from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 15 color combinations).

Promising review: "FINALLY, COMFY PANTIES! As a 30-year-old woman, I’ve been on the search for comfy underwear and I finally found them. They’re soft and have the perfect amount of stretch." —Amazon Customer

"So freaking comfy. I need my undies to cradle under my butt cheeks the way a loving mother tenderly cradles her newborn’s face. I was worried these would creep up the cheeks into wedgie territory, but no. Blissful cheek hugging all day long. Can’t feel them even if I tried. No weird pinching or odd areas. Perfect chef’s kiss. I typically wear Aerie boy brief–style undies — these are a close match in fit and comfort, and equivocal in size." —Ali Morey

Get a five-pack from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in 13 color combos and women's sizes XS–3XL).

Promising review: "Best thong ever. Who would’ve ever thought that a thing could be so comfortable?! The fabric is buttery soft, and the fit is perfect. I almost forget I’m wearing it sometimes. I love it and plan to buy more." —Ana C. R.

Get it from Skims for $18 (available in sizes XXS–4X and five colors).

Promising review: "I absolutely love this set! The fabric feels incredibly soft and smooth on the skin — super comfortable for all-day wear. They fit perfectly and hug the body without feeling tight or restrictive. I also love how seamless they are, making them perfect to wear under tight clothing without any visible lines. The quality really surprised me for the price, and the colors are beautiful too. Definitely a great purchase — I’ll be buying more!" —Dilza

Promising review: "I'm in love with this bra. I love how it minimizes but lifts at the same time. The fact that my posture has improved dramatically due to the support is amazing. I love how I look and feel in this bra. It’s pure perfection! Thank you, Soma!" —VitaminSea

Get it from Soma for $65 (available in cup sizes D–G, band sizes 34–44, and three colors).

Promising review: "I got this in 30DD, and it fits true to size and has good coverage. It’s hard to find bras in a band size smaller than 30, and I’m pleased with how this fits and the coverage.

It’s gone through the wash a handful of times, and I like that this material so far has not done the thing where the edge of the cups start curling so you can see the edges through a T-shirt. This is actually a good T-shirt bra!!" —Rob T

Get it from Amazon for $36.40+ (available in band sizes 30–40 and cup sizes A–DD).

I've owned these and can indeed verify that they're comfy!

Psst, this bra also comes with nipple covers.

Promising review: "Seriously, having large (DDD) boobs can really put a damper on trying to wear cute shirts in the summer. Some shirts you can’t wear a bra with, and going braless is 100% not an option, so I heavily rely on sticky bras. I definitely prefer the silicone ones over the cloth ones, and this bra just reinforces that opinion. It sticks so well and is completely invisible, even under the clingiest shirts I own. Another huge bonus is the nipple covers! I have used many different types over the years and have found that the silicone ones can sometimes look puffy under certain shirts, but these covers are thin and (again) cannot be seen under clingy clothes at all. They come in handy if you know you will be outside and run the risk of sweating off your bra since the nipple covers do not have that issue." —Sarah F.

Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in sizes A–G cup and 11 colors).

Promising review: "Strapless bra that stays up! Love this strapless bra. It holds up good don't have to go around pulling it up all the time. That to me is worth ever dollar." —Gamaw

Get it from Lane Bryant for $29.50 (available in band sizes 34–46, cup sizes B–DDD, and two colors).

Promising review: "Advid fan on Thinx period panties but not anymore. After seeing the price for how many pairs of period undies I was getting I decided to purchase because indidnt wanna have to wait on my one pair i had to be washed etc. I still wear a tampon, but on heavy days it's nice to know I won't be running to the bathroom every hour worrying about leaks.

I will not go back to Thinx undies ever. After months of my using these, they still look like I just got them, never leaked thru, no sticky or stinky feeling, They are thinner, more airy feeling fabric, soft and are more discrete feeling in the "pad area". I would buy these again and again, buy they have held up great so I don't really need to, so that's why I'm telling you to BUY THEM." —Chantelle

Get a three-pack from Amazon for $39.99+ ((available in sizes XS–6XL and six color combos).

Get them from Knix for $25 (available in seven colors, sizes XS–4XL, and four absorbencies).

Promising review: "I have tried several plunging bras, and this is the one that works best…I’m large-chested, and it was very difficult to find a bra that would work for a couple of dresses and tops that are deep V. I’m 5’8”, 162 pounds and 38DDD. I knew that the size said just 'D,' but I was desperate to find something. When I first put it on, I was thinking it would be too small, but after a little adjusting, it worked perfectly!! Must try!" —JMAC1

Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in band sizes 32–40 and cup sizes B–D).

Promising review: "Seems a little silly to review underwear, but I truly love these. They are so comfy, don't move around, and are totally invisible. Perfect." —Lululemon Customer

Get a three-pack from Lululemon for $54 (available in sizes XS–XXL and seven color combinations).

Promising review: "This underwear is so light and comfortable. It doesn't ride up either. I loved my first order so much, I turned around and ordered more. The only downside was it was slow to arrive, but definitely worth the wait." —Cara R.

Get them from Nuage for $19.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL, five colors, and also in multi-packs).

Promising review: "I have bought probably hundreds of wireless bras and bralettes looking for the unicorn: a bra comfortable enough to sleep in and shapely enough to wear under anything during the day. This is it. I have bought about 20 so far. PLEASE never stop making this." —Catherine Saad

Get it from Amazon for $28+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 22 colors) and Floatley for $28+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 10 colors).

Promising review: "Better than all the others! The waistband is thin and light, so it doesn’t squeeze, they are stretching, but still feels like good cotton. I was so excited about these, so I can throw all of mine from Victoria’s Secret away. They are also just a hint longer than other brands, making them slightly less cheeky, but I love that because it’s less squeezing through the gusset and around the front of the thighs. True to size!" —Ivy

Get it from Skims for $22 (available in sizes XXS–4X and six colors).

Popilush is a small biz specializing in shapewear and lingerie. 

Promising review: "WORKS AMAZINGLY!! I have the hardest time finding bras that truly fit, and let me tell you, it fits so amazingly. I’m a bigger girl, so it’s difficult, but it didn’t give me excessive back rolls or anything!! Def recommend buying !!" —layla

Promising review (from a pregnant reviewer): "Worth the money 100% and if you get it on sale, even better!! I love the Momcozy brand. Their quality is always amazing. I have this now in three colors, and they are all beautiful. They are comfortable like a sports bra while also keeping my girls stable. I may have to size up after milk comes in, but I will wear these for a lifetime!" —Lindsay

Some reviewers like it for workouts, breast augmentation, breast reduction, shoulder surgery, and other procedures.

Huha is a woman-owned small biz that makes thoughtful underwear made with natural materials.

Promising review: "These are the most comfortable underwear that I own! Even though the briefs are granny panties I guess by definition, I like the cut of them so much. I have a short torso and hip dips and the briefs are cut pretty much perfectly where they cover but feel close to the skin and don't get baggy or dank even when I wore them a few days in a row while sweating bullets with fever. The anti-bacterial quality of these works! I can't recommend these enough. Absolutely worth every penny." —Miki Foster

Get it from Huha for $18.20 (available in sizes XXS–3XL and eight core colors).

Promising review: "It really works! No more under-boob sweat. It keeps me cool all day and is extremely comfortable. I bought the black and the tan one. Highly recommend!" —Rosa M. 

Get it from Thirdlove for $72 (available in sizes XS–3X and three colors).

Promising review: "This shapewear is so cool and comfortable, I forgot I had it on. It boosted my butt a little and gave me confidence I did not know I had. I was walking throughout the office like I was the cutest thing walking because that is how I felt. If you are looking to feel like me. I suggest you purchase this now. Comfortable fit, and it stays in place all day." —First lady

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two colors and sizes S–3XL).

Promising review: "A couple of years ago I started with two pair as a gift from my husband. And I have to tell you I love these undies. They fit great, they don't ride up and before you say anything I wear ready to wear size 18 and have a curvy bottom and they really do stay put. And they keep me cool. I now own 12 pairs and will continue to purchase them." —Cruise Girl

Get them from Duluth Trading for $9.98+ (originally $20.50; available in sizes XS–XL and 19 designs)

Promising review: "I cannot even tell you how many strapless bras I have tried on over the years. I am a 40DD and needed something for a bridesmaid's dress — and this was it! It's comfortable (almost like you're not wearing it!), stays in place, and was even relatively cool despite my sweating a lot. High recommend!" —akwhaley90

Get it from Amazon for $26.90+ (available in sizes 34B–44DDD and three colors, as well as multipack options).

It has five-way convertible straps (classic, halter, crossback, one-strap, or strapless), a flat band, and a flexible, poke-free underwire. 

Promising review (for cup size A 1/2): "I love the plunge and bustier style of this bra. It made me feel secretly sexy. It worked perfectly with the dress I wore. The fit was nice, and I didn’t have to keep yanking it up all evening." —Melissa S.

Promising review (for cup size D): "Best strapless bra. I have always struggled with finding a good strapless bra for a larger chest and flared ribs. This bra is the absolute best! Great support, so comfortable, and it doesn’t dig into my ribs. I wish it came in more color options because it is my go-to! Can’t recommend this bra enough!" —Meagan

Get it from Third Love for $68 (available in band sizes 30–38 and cup sizes A–DDD, and also in black). 

Promising review: "I wore this for my wedding, and it was amazing! I have pretty big breasts and have never found a strapless bra that can actually hold them up. This piece did an amazing job, I was so impressed. Highly recommend for plus-size/big-boobed people!!" —Marcelina

Get it from Her Room for $68 (available in cup sizes B–FF, band sizes 34–50, and two colors).

Promising review: "I have a 36G chest and find every other bra to have too much padding and structure to fit comfortably. I found Nuudii about a year ago, and every style is comfortable and gives just enough support. It really feels like I’m not wearing a bra! It takes a few wears to stretch to your perfect shape and size, but it’s easy to adjust as needed." —Emily P.

"Love the lightweight material and versatility. If I could get away with not wearing bras ever, I would. This product makes wearing one comfortable." —Jessie D.
