The reviews have it: Cosabella's lightweight bandeau bra holds you in place but feels like wearing nothing at all. "I don’t have to adjust it at all throughout the day—it’s like magic how it stays put. Very comfortable and doesn’t show under clothing either," one reviewer gushes. "This might be the best strapless bra I've ever bought, no wires or padding, good shape, and it's TRULY non-slip," another reviewer writes. "No adjustments needed throughout the day." There's one con to keep in mind: Reviewers say it runs small, so consider ordering a size up.

One of many satisfied reviewers says this bra changed her outlook on bandeau styles. "I have bought so many strapless bras and they were never comfortable or held up my girls. This bra was perfect—now I am able to wear cute strapless clothes. I will be definitely purchasing more." A few reviewers mention slight slippage, but the overall comfort overshadows that con.
