When we say “light everyday support,” we’re comparing it to our other bras — like the Impact Bra, which is built for running and jumping. But compared to most bralettes out there? This one's way more supportive. It’s wire-free and comfy, but still structured enough to replace your regular bra for day-to-day wear. Just maybe don’t go sprinting in it. We recommend the square neckline side for light impact activities like yoga, pilates, walking, etc..

No padding — and that’s intentional. We ditched the flimsy removable pads that bunch up in the wash and never sit right. The fabric is double-layered for coverage (definitely not see-through), but if you want more nipple coverage, you can pop in nipple covers or pads of your own. The bonus? No weird gaping or mismatch between the cup and our breast shape.

Depends on which side you wear! The square neckline side is more of a classic bralette fit. But flip it to the V-neck side, and you’ll get cleavage separation — the crossover fabric sits neatly between your boobs, which helps with breathability, reduces sweat, and avoids that smushed-together feeling.

Not likely. The underband is firm but soft — wide enough to stay anchored, even if you have a belly. It might follow the curve of your body, but it’s designed to hug, not dig.

Yes — and not just from the outer fabric. There are hidden side slings stitched between the layers that gently guide your breast tissue forward (instead of letting it spill toward your armpits). This reduces that “east-west” look and gives you a more streamlined shape from the front.

Yep — and not in the way most people think. 80% of a bra’s lift should come from the underband, not the straps. Because the Ambition Bralette is properly sized by band and cup, the underband anchors to your body and does the heavy lifting. The wide straps then help distribute weight, further providing lift without putting all the pressure on your neck and shoulders.
