Once upon a time, a little-known brand known for its push-up bras and pink-striped walls ruled the lingerie world. It wasn’t inclusive, it wasn’t diverse, but it was all we had. Lingerie brands have come a long, long way. While that specific brand (you know the one) has made some strides, it’s been toppled as the ruler of lingerie land. Now, a slew of lingerie brands have come forth, giving us more inclusive, more diverse, and more comfortable lingerie to shop. Because, no—not everyone has a beige skin tone, nor does everyone want to wear a spaghetti noodle for a thong or fit into a 34B cup.

We’ve scoured the internet and tested a ton of bras, undies, bustiers—you name it. The verdict is in: lingerie is better—waaay better—and more body-positive than before. There really is a style, color, and size for every person and occasion. Whether you’re looking for something comfortable, playful, or inexpensive, these are the best lingerie brands to shop now.
