Wire-free bra: just as much support, more comfort

For many women, the underwire is the first thing they feel when they put on a bra. It’s not always comfortable, especially after a long day. And yet many women automatically reach for a bra with an underwire because they think a bra without one doesn’t provide enough support.

That’s no longer true. A good non wire bra offers just as much support as its wired counterpart, provided you choose the right style. And it’s much more comfortable.

What is the difference between an wire and a non-wire bra?

An wire bra has a metal or plastic wire beneath the cups that supports the breasts and keeps them in place. A non-wire bra does the same, but derives its support from the fabric itself, using sturdy stretch fabric, a wide band and well-structured cups.

The difference lies not in how much support you receive, but in how that support is provided. A non-wire bra distributes the weight more gently and evenly across the fabric, without a rigid structure that might pinch or dig into your skin.

Padded, non-wire bra: shape without pressure

Do you want a lovely, rounded shape but don’t want wires? A moulded, non wire bra is the best choice. The lightly padded cups retain their shape, create a smooth silhouette under clothing and prevent visible nipples, without any pressure from wires.

This is the ideal everyday style for women who prioritise comfort but still want to look well-groomed. It looks great under T-shirts, blouses and dresses, and is comfortable enough to wear all day without even thinking about it.

Non wire bras for large breasts

A common misconception is that women with large breasts cannot wear a wireless bra. That is not true, but you do need to choose the right style. A wireless bra for large breasts must meet a number of criteria:

  • A sturdy, stretchy fabric that provides its own support
  • A wide strap that sits horizontally and doesn’t ride up
  • Wide shoulder straps that distribute the weight evenly
  • Side support in the cups for extra support

Be sure to choose a style that’s specifically designed for a fuller bust, and always check that you’ve chosen the right size using our size guide. Because even with a wireless bra, the right size is the foundation of everything.

For women with a larger band size and cup size, our plus-size collection is also a good place to start.

Bralette: the lightest option

A bralette is the lightest and most comfortable type of wireless bra. No structural support, no stiff cups, no pressure – just soft fabric that hugs your body. For smaller cup sizes (A or B), a bralette offers more than enough support for everyday wear.

What’s more, a lace bralette is pretty enough to be deliberately shown off, under an open blouse, as a visible layer beneath a dress, or as part of a complete lingerie look. Comfort and style go hand in hand here.

When should you choose a bralette?

A wireless bra is the best choice if:

  • You’re bothered by the wires cutting into or pinching your skin
  • You’ve got a long day ahead of you and want maximum comfort
  • Whether you’re working from home or having a relaxing day
  • You are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • You have sensitive skin that gets irritated easily by harsh formulations

And if you’d like a bit more support on busy or active days? Then a T-shirt bra or wire bra is a great addition to your lingerie collection.

Frequently asked questions

Is een bh zonder beugel net zo ondersteunend als een bh met beugel?

Yes, provided you choose the right style. A wireless bra made from sturdy fabric, with a wide band and side support in the cups, offers just as much support as an underwired bra and is more comfortable to wear. For larger cup sizes, it is important to make a conscious choice to select a style that is specifically designed for a full bust.

Which wireless bra is best for large breasts?

Choose a style made from sturdy stretch fabric, with a wide band, wide shoulder straps and side support in the cups. Soft, unstructured styles do not provide enough support for larger cup sizes. Always check your size using our size guide, as a well-fitting band is the foundation of support, even for a bralette. Take a look at our plus-size collection for a wide range of sizes.

What is the difference between a non-underwired bra and a bralette?

A non-wired bra generally has more structure than a bralette, is made of sturdier fabric, has a wider band and features more shaping in the cups. A bralette is the lightest and most relaxed style, with no structural support whatsoever. For smaller cup sizes, a bralette is an excellent choice for everyday wear. For larger cup sizes, a non-wired bra with more structure provides better support.

Bra straps keep slipping down: how can you fix this?

You pull them up. An hour later, they slip down again. You pull them even tighter. And yet your bra straps still won’t stay in place.

You’re not the only one… Slipping bra straps are one of the most common complaints when wearing a bra. And although it’s tempting to simply tighten the straps, that rarely solves the problem. The cause is almost always something else.

Why do bra straps slip down?

Bra straps account for just 20 per cent of the support. It’s the band around your ribcage that does the real work. If your straps slip down, it’s almost always a sign that something’s not quite right with the fit of your bra.

The most common causes:

  • The band is too big. If the band is too loose, your body compensates by tightening the straps. This causes them to pull harder on your shoulders and slip down more quickly.
  • The cup size is too small. If the cup size is too small, the cups won’t support the weight of your breasts properly. The straps will then have to bear more of the weight than intended.
  • The straps are too narrow. Narrow straps dig in more quickly and slip off the shoulder more easily.
  • The bra has stretched out. A bra has a limited lifespan. After lots of washing and wearing, the band loses its elasticity and simply no longer fits properly.

So the solution starts with the cause, not with constantly tightening the straps.

Step 1: Check your bra size

The most effective solution for slipping bra straps is to check whether your size is still correct. Many women wear a band size that is too large combined with a cup size that is too small – a common mistake that directly leads to slipping straps.

Try a band size smaller and a cup size larger. So, do you currently wear an 80B? Then try a 75C. The band size and cup size are linked; a smaller band means a larger cup for the same volume.

Use our size guide to work out your exact size and check whether your current bra still fits.

Step 2: Choose a bra with wide straps

Narrow straps slip off your shoulders more easily than wide ones. If you regularly find that your straps slip down, make a conscious choice to wear a bra with slightly wider shoulder straps. These distribute the weight more evenly across your shoulders and stay in place much more securely.

An wire bra or a moulded bra with wide straps is the most supportive option for women with a fuller bust. For smaller cup sizes, a T-shirt bra with slightly wider straps also works very well.

Step 3: Check the lifespan of your bra

On average, a bra lasts six to eight months with regular use. After that time, the band loses its elasticity and the straps no longer stay in place as well. Wash your bra on a gentle cycle at a maximum of 30 degrees and leave it to air dry; this will significantly extend its lifespan.

Has your bra been down to the last row of hooks for a while now? Then it’s time for a new one. A bra that you wear on the last set of hooks has stretched out and no longer provides the support it was designed for.

Temporary solution: bra accessories

Do you have a bra whose straps keep slipping down, but you’d like to keep wearing it for a while longer? If so, there are some handy bra accessories that can provide a temporary solution. A strap clip connects the two straps at the back in an X-shape, which keeps them in place and stops them from slipping down. A strap extender gives the strap a bit more room if it’s too tight.

These are temporary solutions. The permanent solution is always a bra that fits really well.

When is it time for a new bra?

Sagging straps are often the first sign that your bra needs replacing. But there are other signs too:

  • You wear it on the last row of hooks
  • The band creeps up whilst you’re wearing it
  • The cups are bulging or no longer fit snugly
  • The straps have stretched and can no longer be adjusted properly

Does this sound familiar? If so, it’s time for a new bra. Use our size guide to check whether your size is still correct before choosing a new one, as your size may change over time.

Frequently asked questions

Why do my bra straps keep slipping down?

Slipping bra straps are almost always caused by a band size that’s too large or a cup size that’s too small. The band is too loose, which means the straps are bearing too much weight and slipping off your shoulders. Try a band size smaller and a cup size larger, and use our size guide to determine your exact size.

Does tightening your bra straps help?

Only if the straps are adjustable and are indeed too long. But if the problem is caused by a band that’s too big or a cup that’s too small, tightening the straps won’t solve the problem – it will actually make it worse. The straps will then press harder against your shoulders without addressing the actual cause. First check your size using our size guide, then choose the right style from our bra collection.

Which bra stays in place best?

A wire bra or a moulded bra with wide shoulder straps and a sturdy band provides the most support. Choose a style with adjustable straps so you can fine-tune the fit. And take a look at our bra accessories for handy aids such as strap clips as a temporary solution.

Bh voor kleine borsten: welk model geeft het meeste volume?

Een kleine cupmaat heeft meer voordelen dan je misschien denkt. Je kunt bijna elk bh model dragen, je hebt minder last van rugpijn en de meeste bh’s zitten comfortabel zonder dat je veel ondersteuning nodig hebt.

Maar soms wil je wat meer volume. Een mooiere vorm onder kleding, wat meer lift, of gewoon het gevoel dat je bh iets doet voor je silhouet. Dan is het kiezen van het juiste model de sleutel.

Push-up bh: maximaal volume

De push-up bh is het meest effectieve model als je volume en dƩcolletƩ wilt creƫren. De cups zijn aan de onderkant gevuld met padding die je borsten optilt en naar elkaar toe duwt. Het resultaat: een voller, ronder silhouet dat direct zichtbaar is.

Een push-up bh werkt het beste onder uitgesneden tops, jurken of blouses waarbij je het dƩcolletƩ bewust wilt laten zien. Voor dagelijks gebruik onder lossere kleding is hij soms iets te opvallend, dan zijn er subtielere opties.

Lingadore

Voorgevormde bh: natuurlijke vorm zonder padding

Wil je een mooie, ronde vorm zonder het overdreven effect van een push-up? Dan is een voorgevormde bh jouw beste keuze. De cups zijn licht gevuld en houden hun vorm ook als je hem uittrekt — dat geeft een egaal, mooi silhouet zonder zichtbare tepels onder kleding.

Een voorgevormde bh is veelzijdig genoeg voor dagelijks gebruik Ʃn voor speciale gelegenheden. Hij geeft volume zonder dat het er kunstmatig uitziet, en werkt onder vrijwel elke outfit.

Bh met vulling zonder beugel: comfort Ʃn vorm

Houd je niet van beugels maar wil je toch wat extra volume? Een bh zonder beugel met lichte vulling is de comfortabelste optie. Zachte cups die iets zijn opgevuld geven een subtiele boost zonder druk of knellen. Ideaal voor thuis, voor warme dagen of voor vrouwen die dagelijks veel comfort willen zonder in te leveren op uitstraling.

Combineer hem met een mooie lingerie set voor een complete look die er verzorgd uitziet, ook als niemand hem ziet.

Triangel bh: luchtig en natuurlijk

De triangel bh is een tijdloze favoriet voor kleine borsten. Twee driehoekige cups, dunne verstelbare bandjes en een minimalistisch ontwerp. Hij geeft geen extra volume maar wƩl een mooie, natuurlijke vorm.

Kies een triangel bh met een subtiele print, ruches of een strik voor meer visuele aandacht bovenaan. Dat trekt de blik naar boven en geeft je silhouet direct meer leven, zonder padding.

Bralette: comfort met stijl

Een bralette is de meest comfortabele optie voor kleine borsten. Geen beugel, geen stijve cups, geen constructie, gewoon zachte stof die aansluit. En omdat kleine borsten weinig ondersteuning nodig hebben, mis je ook niets.

Het mooie aan een bralette is dat hij ook bewust gedragen kan worden als onderdeel van je outfit. Onder een open blouse, als zichtbaar laagje onder een jurk, een kanten bralette is mooi genoeg om te laten zien.

Welk model kies jij?

Kort samengevat:

Kies een push-up bh als je maximaal volume en een zichtbaar dƩcolletƩ wilt. Kies een voorgevormde bh als je een natuurlijke, egale vorm wilt voor dagelijks gebruik. Kies een bh zonder beugel met vulling als comfort voorop staat maar je toch iets van vorm wilt. Kies een triangel bh als je houdt van een luchtige, natuurlijke look. En kies een bralette als je comfort en stijl combineert zonder constructie.

Bij LingaDore vind je al deze modellen in een breed aanbod, van subtiel en dagelijks tot speels en stijlvol. Bekijk de volledige bh collectie en ontdek welk model bij jou past.

Veelgestelde vragen over loungewear

Welke bh is het beste voor kleine borsten?

Dat hangt af van wat je zoekt. Wil je extra volume? Kies een push-up bh of voorgevormde bh. Wil je een natuurlijke look? Dan is een triangel bh of bralette de beste keuze. Voor dagelijks comfort met een subtiele vorm is een bh zonder beugel met lichte vulling ideaal.

Maakt een push-up bh kleine borsten groter?

Een push-up bh maakt je borsten niet groter maar geeft wel de illusie van meer volume. De padding tilt je borsten op en duwt ze naar elkaar toe, waardoor een voller dƩcolletƩ ontstaat. Het effect verdwijnt zodra je de bh uittrekt. Voor een blijvend effect op de vorm zonder padding is een voorgevormde bh een subtielere keuze.

Heb ik als kleine borsten altijd een beugel nodig?

Nee, zeker niet. Kleine borsten hebben weinig ondersteuning nodig, waardoor een bh zonder beugel of een bralette prima volstaat. Een beugel is pas echt nodig bij een grotere cupmaat waar meer ondersteuning vereist is. Voor kleine borsten draait het meer om vorm en comfort dan om steun.

Satin pyjamas: perfect for warm nights

There are those evenings when you slip into bed and everything just feels right. The fabric glides softly against your skin. Light, cool, just right. That’s what a good pair of satin pyjamas does.

And yet, in the summer, many women reach for an old cotton pyjama set or sleep in an oversized T-shirt, even though there is a much more comfortable alternative.

Why satin works so well on warm nights

Satin doesn’t just feel luxurious; it also has practical benefits that you really notice at night.

The fabric is smooth and light, so it retains very little heat.

It glides smoothly with your movements rather than pulling or riding up. And it feels soft against your skin, without causing any irritation.

That makes satin pyjamas ideal for summer. Not as a status symbol, but simply because they help you sleep better.

Satin nightwear: more than just pyjamas

Satin nightwear comes in many more styles than just the classic pyjama set. And that’s what makes it so versatile.

  • Pyjama set with long pants — maximum coverage, perfect for slightly cooler nights
  • Shortama — shorts for the hottest nights, light and comfortable
  • Slip dress or pyjama dress — the most feminine and elegant option
  • Throw a kimono over it — perfect for those evenings when you’re relaxing on the sofa for a while before going to bed

Each model has its own feel and benefits. Choose the one that best suits your sleeping habits and the temperature.

Luxury pyjamas for women: quality you can feel

Luxury pyjamas don’t have to be expensive. What makes them luxurious is the combination of high-quality fabric, a beautiful finish and a perfect fit.

At LingaDore, we deliberately choose a satin fabric that feels soft to the touch yet retains its quality even after repeated washing. It’s a fabric that won’t pill or lose its sheen after just a few washes.

How to style a satin pyjama set

A pair of satin pyjamas is stylish enough to wear outside the bedroom. Pair them with a kimono for those evenings when you’re sitting out on the balcony for a while, or for mornings when you’re waking up at a leisurely pace. The kimono adds an extra layer without taking away from the lightness, and the whole outfit instantly looks put-together and stylish.

Satin nightwear is so beautiful that you really want to wear it all the time.

The new spring collection: sleep as you deserve

In the new Spring 2026 collection, you’ll find satin pyjamas and nightwear in soft spring colours. Light, airy and designed for warm nights. Because a good night’s sleep starts with what you wear to bed.

Frequently asked questions

Are satin pyjamas suitable for warm summer nights?

Yes, definitely. Satin is one of the best choices for warm nights because the fabric is smooth and light and hardly retains any heat. It feels cool against the skin and moves with you so you don’t get tangled up in it. A satin nightdress is the lightest option for the very warmest nights. Take a look at the satin pyjamas from LingaDore’s new spring collection.

How do I wash satin pyjamas?

It is best to wash satin pyjamas on a gentle cycle or by hand in cold water using a mild detergent. Let them air-dry rather than tumble-dry. This will preserve the fabric’s sheen and softness for the longest time. This way, your satin nightwear will stay looking beautiful for a long time.

Can I wear satin pyjamas during the day as well?

Absolutely. A pair of satin pyjamas or a slip dress looks smart enough to wear at home during the day. Pair them with a kimono for a complete look that works both in the morning and in the evening. Satin nightwear is versatile, comfortable and stylish enough for any time of day at home.

What bra do you wear under your summer outfit?

You’ve found the perfect summer dress. And then you see it in the mirror: straps, a seam or the colour of your bra showing through the fabric.

It’s those little details that make or break an outfit. And yet you often only think of them once you’re already dressed. It doesn’t have to be that way anymore.

Which bra to wear under clothes: the basics

The bra you wear under your outfit depends on three things: the style of the garment, the fabric and the colour.

Once you know that, the choice is a lot easier.

Below, we’ll look at what works best in each situation.

Bra under white clothing

White can be tricky. A white bra might seem like the obvious choice, but white on white actually shows through more often than you’d think. The solution is simple: choose a bra in a nude shade that matches your skin tone as closely as possible. Or red. That blends in much better under white clothing.

Also pay attention to the cups. A smooth, seamless cup won’t show through a white top or blouse. A bra with lace or stitching is often visible under thin white fabric.

Invisible bra: when do you need one?

An invisible bra is one you wear and forget about. No visible lines, no visible straps, no colour that stands out. A good invisible bra has:

  • Smooth, seamless cups with no external embellishments
  • A colour that complements your skin tone
  • A soft, flat band that doesn’t show through clothing

Strapless bra: for off-the-shoulder outfits

A strapless bra has one job: to stay in place. It sounds obvious, but a good strapless bra that actually does that is something to be cherished.

What to look for in a strapless bra:

  • The band around your ribs is snug but comfortable
  • The cups fit snugly
  • There is silicone or a non-slip coating on the inside to prevent it from slipping down
  • If you have a fuller bust: choose a style with a light wire for extra support

    You hardly notice a good strapless bra, and that’s exactly the point.

Bra under a dress: which style should you choose?

That depends on the cut of the dress. Here’s a handy guide:

  • Low-cut dress → plunge bra or straps crossing in an X-shape
  • Strapless dress or top → strapless bra
  • Low-cut back → low-back bra or adhesive bra
  • Dress made of sheer fabric → seamless bra with no visible fastenings
  • Off-the-shoulder dress → strapless or bralette, depending on your bust size

Bras under sheer fabric: here are your options

Dunne stoffen zoals chiffon, zijde of jersey zijn prachtig in de zomer, maar ze verbergen weinig. Een bh onder dunne stof moet daarom naadloos zijn, in de juiste kleur en zonder opvallende stiksels of kantdetails aan de buitenkant.

Another good option is a bralette with a smooth outer surface. It’s comfortable to wear, provides gentle support and is barely visible under light, summery fabrics.

Your summer outfit deserves the right foundation

The right bra is the foundation of any outfit. You can’t see it, but you can feel the difference all day long. And when it fits properly, you simply forget you’re wearing it. And that’s exactly the point.

In the new Spring 2026 collection, you’ll find bras in soft spring colours and neutral nude shades, designed to disappear under any summer outfit.

View the full spring collection →

Frequently asked questions

What colour bra do you wear under a white top?

Not white, but nude. A bra in a shade as close as possible to your skin tone is much less noticeable under white clothing than a white bra. Also opt for smooth, seamless cups so that no lines show through the fabric. Take a look at the new bras from LingaDore’s spring collection.

What sort of bra do you wear under a strapless dress?

Under a strapless dress, choose a strapless bra with good grip on the inside so it stays in place. Do you have a full bust? Then opt for a strapless style with a light wire for extra support. A good strapless bra is barely noticeable, and that’s exactly what you want.

Is a bralette suitable for wearing under clothes?

Yes, especially for light, summery outfits. A bralette with a smooth exterior and soft cups is ideal under sheer fabrics. It provides a natural shape, is comfortable to wear and is barely visible. For those who need more support, a T-shirt bra or a padded bra is a better choice. Take a look at the bralettes from LingaDore.

Which lingerie set suits you best?

You open your wardrobe in the morning and, tucked away at the back of that drawer, is a lingerie set you bought ages ago but never really wear. Too tight, too uncomfortable, or just not quite what you’d hoped for…

A good lingerie set is more than just a pretty matching bra and briefs. It’s lingerie that you put on and think: yes, this feels right. That you can wear all day without even thinking about it.

What makes a lingerie set really good?

Many women choose lingerie based on how it looks. And we understand that. But the best lingerie for your body is the kind that looks good and feels comfortable. The two really don’t have to be mutually exclusive.

What to look for when choosing lingerie:

  • A bra that provides support without digging in
  • Bras that fit snugly without pinching
  • A strap across the back that runs horizontally
  • Briefs that don’t dig in or get in the way
  • Fabrics that feel soft against the skin

Not sure about your size? Use our size guide to make sure you get the right fit.

How to mix and match lingerie

Putting together a lingerie outfit is an art form that isn’t difficult once you’ve grasped the basics. A lingerie set doesn’t always have to match perfectly; sometimes a combination of two shades or a subtle lace detail works even better.

If you’re going for a lace bra, pair it with plain briefs in the same colour for a sophisticated look. If you’re opting for a soft, seamless bra, then hipster or seamless briefs are the perfect match for a seamless look under your clothes.

And sometimes you just want a set that looks stunning, for yourself. In that case, go for a complete lingerie set with matching details, soft fabrics and a colour that makes you happy.

Which set suits your body type?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, as everyone’s body is different. But a few guidelines can help you get started.

Large bust? Choose a bra that offers good support, such as an wire bra or a padded bra with wide straps. Pair it with briefs that you find comfortable to wear all day long.

Smaller bust size? That gives you more freedom. A bralette, a triangle bra or a soft, wireless cup are all options that look great and feel comfortable.

Want to show off your waist? Choose a high-waisted brief or a Brazilian brief that accentuates the waist a little more

Frequently asked questions

What makes a good lingerie set for everyday wear?

For everyday wear, you want a set that feels comfortable all day long without you even noticing it. Opt for soft, breathable fabrics such as microfibre or cotton, a well-fitting bra without wire or with light wires, and seamless briefs that won’t show through your clothes. In LingaDore’s new spring collection, you’ll find sets that offer exactly that. Comfortable, stylish and affordable.

How do I know if my bra is the right size?

A well-fitting bra sits horizontally across your back, the cups fit snugly without pinching, and the straps don’t slip off your shoulders. Many women unknowingly wear the wrong size. Use our size guide to calculate your exact size in just a few steps.

Does a lingerie set always have to match?

No, that’s certainly not necessary. Two shades of the same colour, or a plain brief paired with a bra featuring subtle lace detailing, that works just as well. Mixing and matching lingerie is all about what you like and what feels comfortable. At LingaDore, you can mix and match bras and briefs separately so you can always find your perfect combination.

Which bikini top suits you best? Bandeau, triangle or with wire

You’ve found a lovely pair of bikini bottoms, but then comes the top. Suddenly you’re staring at a rack full of styles and thinking: what’s the difference between them, really? And more importantly, which one suits me?

Choosing bikini tops is more than just a matter of taste. Once you know what each style does, the choice becomes a lot easier.

The difference between bikini tops

There are three models you’ll come across most often, and they all do something slightly different.

Which one suits you best depends on your body shape, how much support you want and the feel you’re looking for. We’ve listed them for you below.

The bandeau bikini

A bandeau fits snugly across the chest, with no straps. This creates a clean, minimalist silhouette with no visible shoulder straps.

A bandeau bikini top looks best if you have a smaller bust. Some styles have removable straps, so you can also wear it as a strapless top. Perfect if you want to enjoy the sun and get a nice tan on your shoulders.

The triangle bikini

The triangle bra is a classic. Two triangular cups, thin straps, light and summery. This style gives your breasts a natural shape without much structure, which is exactly why so many women choose it time and time again.

A triangle bikini top has adjustable straps, making it suitable for many body shapes. Choose a style with light padding if you want a little more volume, or go for an unpadded version for the most natural silhouette possible.

What makes the triangle so popular:

  • Light and airy, perfect for warm days
  • Adjustable via the straps for a personalised fit
  • Available with or without padding
  • A timeless design that always looks good

The wire bikini top

An wire bikini top has a built-in wire beneath the cups, just like an wire bra. And that is precisely why this style is so popular with women with a fuller bust.

The wires provide firm support, a flattering shape and a lift that lasts all day long.

You jump into the water and everything stays exactly where it should. That gives you a sense of calm and confidence.

Supportive bikini top: when do you need one?

If you have a larger cup size, a supportive bikini top isn’t a luxury – it’s simply a must. A moulded bikini top with wide shoulder straps distributes the weight evenly and stops you from having to keep adjusting it all day long.

When making your choice, please bear the following in mind:

  • Adjustable straps for the perfect fit
  • Wide shoulder straps for better weight distribution
  • A back fastening for a better fit
  • Moulded cups for a flattering shape and good support

View the moulded bikini tops →


Which bikini top will you choose?

In short:

Choose a bandeau if you prefer a clean silhouette and have a smaller bust. Choose a triangle if you prefer a light, classic style and want to decide for yourself how much shape you want. Choose an wired or padded top if support and firmness are your top priorities.

Still not sure which one to choose? In the new Spring 2026 collection, you’ll find all the styles in fresh colours and soft fabrics.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a bandeau and a triangle bikini top?

A bandeau fits snugly across the bust without straps, creating a clean, strapless look. A triangle bra has two triangular cups with thin straps and offers a more natural, classic shape. The bandeau works best for smaller busts, whilst the triangle bra suits many body types and can be adjusted via the straps.

Which bikini top is best for larger busts?

If you have a fuller bust, you’ll get the best support from a moulded bikini top or an underwired bikini top with wide shoulder straps. These distribute the weight effectively, create a flattering shape and stay in place all day long. Avoid thin spaghetti straps or soft cups without structure, as these offer too little support. Take a look at the moulded bikini tops from the new spring collection.

Can I mix and match a bikini top and bottoms from different styles?

Absolutely, and that’s exactly the idea. At LingaDore, we sell tops and bottoms separately so you can always put together your perfect combination. A bold top with subtle bottoms, or vice versa — the choice is yours. Take a look at all the bikini tops and bottoms from the new spring collection.

Which bikini suits your body shape?

Looking for a new bikini? You scroll through dozens of styles online and think: lovely, but is this the right one for me?

Almost every woman knows that feeling. Not because there’s anything wrong with your body, but because the wrong bikini simply doesn’t do what it’s supposed to. You can tell straight away when you’ve found the right one.

It’s not about rules. It’s about how you feel.

There are plenty of lists out there telling you which bikini to choose for your body shape. At LingaDore, we don’t really believe in that.

What we do believe is this: when something fits well, it shows. And if it looks good too, you’ll walk onto the beach with a confidence that lasts all day.

We’d love to share a few tips to help you choose the best bikini for your body shape. Because once you know what to look out for, choosing becomes much easier and more fun.

Bikini for wide hips

Do you have a bit more curve around your hips or thighs? If so, balance is your best friend. You want the top and bottom of your bikini to complement each other, so that your overall silhouette looks just right.

A bikini top with a little more volume or detail at the top will balance out your figure. Pair it with high-waisted bikini bottoms that hug your hips nicely, offering both a slimming and flattering effect.

In the new spring collection, you’ll find beautiful high-waisted styles in soft spring colours that do exactly that.

Lingadore

Bikini for small breasts

Less volume at the top actually gives you more freedom of choice, which is actually an advantage. A bandeau bikini top with light padding or a triangle top with detailing provides just the right amount of volume to complete your silhouette.

What works well:

  • A bandeau top with soft padding
  • A triangle top with ruffles or fringing
  • A top with button detailing or a crossover front
  • A striking print at the top
  • The details and texture at the top draw the eye upwards and instantly bring your figure to life.

Bikini for large breasts

If you have a fuller bust, it’s all about support that lasts all day. Not a top that gives up halfway through the morning.

A moulded bikini top with wide shoulder straps distributes the weight evenly, creates a flattering shape and stays exactly where it should.

That gives you peace of mind and confidence, all day long.

Lingadore

Straight figure

Are your shoulders and hips roughly the same width and do you have a barely defined waist? If so, a bikini is the perfect way to accentuate your curves.

Choose a top with bow details, fringing or ruffles to add movement and volume. Pair it with high-waisted shorts that accentuate the waist. Prints and textures instantly add more dynamism to your silhouette. Small choices, big difference.


Narrow shoulders, wide hips

Draw attention upwards in a clever way and you’ll instantly strike the right balance. A one-shoulder bikini top does just that, and in a way that’s incredibly stylish too.

The asymmetrical cut naturally draws the eye upwards, making your shoulders appear wider and creating a balanced silhouette. Pair it with plain-coloured trousers for a look that’s spot on from head to toe.

The best bikini is the one you feel good in.

That’s all that matters. At LingaDore, you can mix and match tops and bottoms so you can always put together your perfect outfit.

The new Spring 2026 collection is full of fresh colours, soft fabrics and the best bikini styles to suit every body shape.

Frequently asked questions

Which bikini suits a pear-shaped figure?

If you have a pear-shaped figure, with narrow shoulders and wider hips, you’ll want to draw attention upwards. Choose a bikini top with eye-catching details, a print or a one-shoulder style. Pair it with plain, understated bottoms. This will balance your figure and create a look that works from head to toe.

Which bikini top offers the most support?

A moulded bikini top with wide shoulder straps offers the best support. This style distributes weight evenly, creates a flattering shape and stays in place all day long. Do you have a fuller bust? Then this is the style for you. Take a look at the moulded bikini tops from the new spring collection.

Can I mix and match a bikini top and bottoms in different sizes?

Yes, and that’s exactly why LingaDore sells tops and bottoms separately. Your upper and lower body aren’t always the same size, and they don’t need to be. Simply choose the top in your size and the bottoms in your size to create the perfect combination. View all the bikini tops and bottoms from the new spring collection.

What do you pack for a holiday in the sun?

Your suitcase is open on the bed. Your flight leaves in three days. And you’re torn between two bikinis, a pile of dresses and some lingerie that you’re not sure whether to pack or not. Sound familiar?

Packing for a sunny holiday is an art form. Pack too little and you’ll miss something; pack too much and you’ll be lugging half your wardrobe around with you… The key lies in choosing wisely: a few pieces that you can wear in lots of different ways and that will make you feel good-looking throughout your holiday.

Here’s our summer checklist featuring lingerie, swimwear and everything you need from morning to night.

Packing a bikini: how many do you actually need?

For most holidays, two or three bikinis are usually more than enough. The trick isn’t how many you take, but what you choose.

Choose bikini tops and bottoms that you can mix and match. That way, with just three tops and two bottoms, you’ll have six different looks. It saves space in your suitcase and still gives you something different to wear every day.

Don’t forget to consider different styles. A bandeau bikini for lounging by the pool, a padded bikini top with more support for an active day at the beach, and high-waisted bikini bottoms for that evening when you fancy a stroll along the promenade.

In the new Spring 2026 collection, you’ll find bikini tops and bottoms specially designed to be mixed and matched, in fresh spring colours that are perfect for sun, sea and sand.

Beach holiday wear: from morning to evening

A sunny holiday calls for clothes that can keep up with you all day long. From the beach to a market and ending with a drink on a terrace. You don’t want to have to change your outfit three times.
Holiday clothes that can handle that:

Beachwear is the most versatile item you can pack. Wear it over your bikini on the way to the beach, as a light dress on a terrace, or as a loose cover-up when out and about in town. Take a look at our beachwear that really works anywhere.

A light and airy loungewear set for mornings on the balcony or evenings back in your hotel room. Comfortable, stylish and easy to pack. Browse our homewear collection for the perfect loungewear sets.

Satin pyjamas for a good night’s sleep. Light, airy and wonderfully soft against the skin. Just what you need when it’s warm. View the satin pyjama collection.

Frequently asked questions

How many bikinis do you take on holiday?

For most holidays, two or three bikinis are more than enough. The smartest approach is to mix and match tops and bottoms separately; that way, with three tops and two bottoms, you already have six different looks. This saves space in your suitcase and still gives you something different to wear every day. In the new Spring 2026 collection, you’ll find bikini tops and bottoms that have been specially designed to be mixed and matched.

What’s a good idea to take with you on a beach holiday?

Naast je bikini’s zijn dit de stukken die je echt nodig hebt: een kimono of lichte cover-up die je van het strand de stad in draagt, een comfortabele loungewear set voor de ochtend op het balkon of de avond in je kamer, en een luchtige satijnen pyjama voor warme nachten. Zorg ook voor een nude bh die onder lichte zomerkleding verdwijnt en een strapless optie voor schouderloos. Met die basis zit je de hele vakantie goed.

What pyjamas would you take with you to a warm destination?

When travelling to a warm destination, you’ll want pyjamas that feel as light as possible. Satin pyjamas are the best choice for this: the fabric is smooth, retains hardly any heat and feels wonderfully soft against the skin. A shortama is the lightest option for the hottest nights. Take a look at LingaDore’s satin pyjama collection for the new spring styles.

The versatility of briefs: find your perfect brief style.

Briefs are the foundation of every lingerie drawer. They combine comfort, style, and functionality in one small piece of fabric.

Our slips are designed with attention to detail, comfort, and style, ensuring that you always feel your best.

Hipsters: The perfect mix of comfort and style

Hipsters are a popular choice among women looking for a combination of comfort and style. These briefs sit low on the hips and provide full coverage at the back, making them perfect for everyday wear. Hipsters are often made from soft, stretchy fabrics that contour to your body without pinching or chafing. They are ideal under tight jeans or skirts because they leave no visible lines.

Seamless briefs: invisible perfection.

For the ultimate invisible look, seamless briefs are the best choice. These briefs are designed without seams, ensuring they don’t show under tight clothing. Seamless briefs are made from lightweight, breathable fabrics that feel soft against the skin. They offer a smooth, seamless finish that helps you feel confident, no matter what you wear. Perfect for under fitted dresses.

High-waisted briefs: classic and comfortable.

High-waisted briefs are a classic style that has made a comeback in recent years. These briefs offer extra coverage and support by sitting higher on the waist. High-waisted briefs are perfect for women looking for more comfort and a smoothing effect around the tummy area. They come in various styles, from simple and functional to luxurious and alluring, ensuring you always find something that suits you.

Strings: for a seductive look.

Strings are the ideal choice for women who want a minimalist and seductive look. They offer minimal coverage and are perfect for under tight or sheer clothing. Strings leave little to no lines and come in various styles and materials, from cotton to lace. They are ideal for special occasions or whenever you want to feel extra confident.

Normal briefs: the timeless favorite.

Normal briefs are the classic choice in the world of lingerie. They provide full coverage and comfort, making them a favorite for everyday wear. Normal briefs come in a wide range of colors, patterns, and materials, so you can always find something that suits you. They are perfect for any occasion and can easily be paired with your favorite bras.
