Gatherall, Skims, and CAKES: Backless Bras That Actually Support The Girls

If you haven’t heard of Gatherall yet, prepare to fall in love. This brand is like the fairy godmother of backless bras. Seriously, I tried them, and these bras are game-changers. 

What sets Gatherall apart is their unique design. It’s patented reusable and washable adhesive silicone material doesn’t just stay in place but actually works with you. The tapered edge technology stays securely suctioned to your skin and remains completely invisible under your clothes, even if you sweat (and yes, that’s a total win!).

Plus, you pick your cup and color, so no matter your chest size or dress style, you’re going to feel like a million bucks. If the Gatherall Bra isn't quite your cup of tea, I’m also a big fan of their Breast Tape ($35). It’s incredibly soft on the skin and even comes with its own pair of scissors for easy application. Or, if you prefer something lighter, their Nipple Covers ($28) are so thin and comfortable, you’ll barely even notice they’re there.

When it comes to nipple covers, CAKES truly takes the, well, cake. They’ve perfected the art of comfortable, discreet coverage with their covers, making them an essential for every woman’s wardrobe. 

Their standout feature is their grippy, not sticky design. These aren’t your typical adhesive nipple covers that leave you struggling with peeling edges or sticky residue. Instead, CAKES gently grip the skin using your body’s natural heat. This means no irritating adhesives, no mess, and no discomfort. 

Beyond creating incredible products, CAKES is a brand with a powerful purpose. With every purchase, $1 is donated to breast cancer and gynecological health research—a cause deeply rooted in their commitment to making a positive impact. This philanthropic initiative was inspired by the heartfelt stories of their customers. After the launch, CAKES heard from women undergoing breast reconstruction, many of whom shared that “CAKES changed their lives.” It’s this kind of connection and impact that truly sets CAKES apart.

Okay, if you’re not already living for Skims, you need to get on that ASAP. Kim Kardashian’s brand is a total pioneer in the shapewear and bra department. Their Low Back Thong Bodysuit is the secret weapon for those who want to feel a little more secure in a backless dress than just wearing nipple covers.

This low-back thong offers an ultra-flattering silhouette, providing support not only for the girls but also along the tummy, core, and waist. The fit? Perfect. The support? Perfect. If you’re looking to keep it sleek and supported, this Skims options should be at the top of your list.

This seamless, strapless bra combines the best of comfort and functionality, creating a smooth, invisible fit that’s perfect for even the most daring low-back styles. The graduated padding in the cups offers a subtle push-up effect, while the built-in underwire is discreet, giving you lift and support without any bulky seams.

You might be wondering how it stays up—well, the secret lies in the grippy gel on the cups and transparent side bands, which work together to keep it securely in place all day long. Plus, the hypoallergenic materials make this bra suitable for every skin type.

You can’t talk about backless bras without mentioning the Backless Bra Extender, the ultimate solution for making any regular bra perfect for your backless outfit.

What we love about this Backless Bra Extender is how simple it is to use and how effective it is at giving you the freedom to wear any backless outfit without compromising support. The elastic strap is adjustable, allowing you to drop the bra straps up to 5 inches, while the durable nylon and high-elastic spandex construction ensure all-day comfort. Plus, it’s designed with smooth craftsmanship to prevent any slipping or discomfort, so you can dance the night away without worrying about your bra.
