Do you need more functionality from your underwear? Sometimes, your trusty T-shirt bra and comfy cotton underwear just won’t cut it — especially when it comes to disappearing underneath the latest trends like micro-tops and low-rise jeans. That’s why I set out to find some underthings that’ll play nicely with the most fashionable pieces in your wardrobe.

For instance, you probably need something to go under that daring cut-out dress you’re planning to pack on vacation, right? If you have a larger chest, you might panic at the mere thought of a backless dress. (Or maybe that's just me?)

The solution to this dilemma: Here are 25 weird but genius underwear styles that are becoming wildly popular on Amazon — and they’re about to expand your wardrobe horizons in ways you never thought possible.

This Sports Bra With A Sweet Little Pocket For Your Phone

How did anyone ever work out before this QUEENIEKE sports bra existed? I love it because you can stow your phone in the racerback panel and use the double-flap closure to hold it in place. If you don’t have AirPods, just thread your headphones through the bonded eyelet and you’re ready to go. Made with a moisture-wicking nylon and spandex blend, this $23 bra is a blessing for anyone with a larger chest, too — and can even handle a high-impact workout. “It said medium support but definitely stronger than that. No bounce when running,” one shopper reported. “I put down usually 5-7 miles a day and this bra holds my girls in place, and it’s not suffocating,” another fan confirmed.

Cheeky Underwear That Fills Out Tailored Skirts — No Alterations Needed

If your favorite pieces feel a little loose in the hips, scoop up NINGMI’s padded hip-hugging underwear. Made from a breathable perforated cotton-polyester blend with a sponge pad that creates dangerous curves, this cheeky creation won’t look overdone or bulky. Think of it as a trusty enhancement. “This looks really good when you are wearing jeans. It adds just enough to give you a lifted butt and looks natural. It’s not too much,” one shopper wrote.

A U-Shaped Bra For Plunging Tops

Sometimes, in life, you need a little cleavage action with your dress or blouse. Luckily, ZUKULIFE’s deeply low-cut bra delivers. The push-up bra is also convertible — it can be worn traditionally, as a halter, or criss-crossed into a racerback. Don’t be intimidated by the kooky shape, folks. “I've been looking for a good, supportive bra that will give me some cleavage, that I can wear with a low cut top, and finally found it,” one shopper stated. PSA: The plunge design runs a little on the tighter side, so opt for 1-2 sizes larger for a truly comfy fit.

Silicone Pasties That Lift And Support

If you absolutely cannot wear a bra with your “hot girl summer” look, then Promking’s breast pasties might be your best bet. Made from medical-grade silicone that molds to your form and adds a little lift, these petaled pasties will stay in place while sticking to skin sans irritation. Plus, they’re reusable: After each use, simply hand wash them in warm water with mild soap, then air dry for best results. “I have D cup,” one shopper prefaced for those on the fence, adding that these pasties “kept the girls lifted and secure for 8 hours on a hot summer day.”

Secure this on and you’re all set to hit the town. “Perfect amount of stickiness and reusable after you wash. This was a great $20 well spent to not have underwear or clear straps ruin my high slit dress,” one shopper explained. Hand wash it with mild soap afterwards so it’s ready to go for next time. Yes, it’s that easy.

This Adhesive Push-Up Bra With Adjustable Laces

If your new dress has a backless silhouette, you might be a bit concerned about how that’ll work out. MITALOO’s adhesive bra is the ideal thing to stick on to give a little lift and some shape while stilling showing off your gorgeous back. The laces let you dial the cleavage up or down, and the full-coverage cups feel comfortable covered. This shopper was a bit hesitant at first but ultimately gave the butterfly-shaped bra five stars: “I had low expectations that this would work for a D cup but it does,” they praised. “Just follow the instructions to get it on right. Once you have the bra in place press it and hold firmly for about 7 seconds so it adheres,” they advised.

It has a scoop neck, removable padding, and a bunch of cutouts in the back for ventilation (and style, I might add). “I have a huge chest and had no hope for this cute sports bra, but whoa! It not only fits, but is much more supportive than I expected. I can’t run a marathon in this, but can definitely weight lift and do home training in this,” one customer advised. Choose between countless colorways to match your go-to leggings.

The High-Performance Athletic Thongs You Should Add To Your Underwear Drawer STAT

There are so many good things to say about Balanced Tech’s seamless thongs, but I could go on and on about how breathable they are. Here’s a few bonuses: Not only will you never have panty lines, but these undies are extremely sweat-wicking and odor-resistantcourtesy of the 4-way stretch nylon-elastane material). “This is the only underwear I am buying from now on,” one shopper declared. “I hiked 16 miles in this underwear and was blown away by how breathable it is! I even wore a pair into the ocean (I didn't pack a swimsuit) and they dried within minutes.”

You won't have to worry about it falling down, and the front closure pulls everything together for a bra-like shape. Expert tip: Do not use moisturizers, perfumes, powders or oils on the skin before sticking this on, or it won’t work properly. “Gave me some nice cleavage when I normally don't have any!

This MIADONNA body tape is super popular with Amazon shoppers — and there’s no shock there, folks. Suitable for most cup sizes, this heavy-duty stuff is made from cotton and spandex, meaning it’s very breathable and comfy on the skin. It’s also seamless and looks seriously invisible under your clothes. “I had no idea this tape would work as well as it does. I have fairly large breasts, Ds, and children, and I thought for sure there was no way this was going to work for me and it absolutely does.

Now, here we have it. “These little half socks are just what you need to prevent that sweaty foot feeling (yuck) without showing socks above the top of your shoes.

A Seamless Sports Bra With Ventilation Panels

I am obsessed with the fact that this sports bra has back and underbust ventilation panels.

You’ll receive four seamless bras for $20. That’s $5 each — a steal! Select the pack of neutrals to stock up on basics, or go for the one with an array of pastels.

So you bought an open-back dress for a party, but you don’t have a bra to match. That won’t be a problem if you have Maidenform’s low back bra extender on-hand. Just attach the elastic nylon strap to your bra’s hook-and-eye closure — and there you have it! You’re ready to rock it with cut-out, backless, and keyhole styles. The part that wraps around your waist is also fully adjustable for a comfortable fit. “I use this for my wedding instead of buying a bridal corset because the back of my dress was very low. This did an amazing job with just a strapless bra. So many compliments on how well the dress looked,” one customer gushed.

Cult-Favorite Thigh Bands That Prevent Chafing

Wearing bike shorts under dresses is great in theory — until you’re sweating profusely thanks to the extra layers. That’s why you must add Bandelettes’s elastic bands to your carts now. Offered in minimalist styles and pretty lacy designs, these have rows of non-slip silicone both top and bottom that’ll keep them up for the duration of the day. “With living in central Florida and in the summer, I needed something for my thighs so they wouldn’t rub,” one shopper wrote — a tall order with that humidity — and raved that “THESE WERE PERFECT!”

A Silicone Insert That Adds Coverage To Leggings And Swimsuits

Although camel toe is completely natural, I have to give a shoutout to timistar for making this camel toe concealer, because those lines are the bane of my existence — and this reusable self-adhesive silicone pad has saved me from so many stressful mornings. The micro-edge design feels invisible and smooths you right out without revealing its presence. It’s not just a lifeline for leggings but also works in bike shorts and beachwear, as well. “I use this whenever I have to wear a swimsuit. It really gives peace of mind and it allows me to not worry about how I look in a swimsuit as much,” one shopper pointed out.

Full-Coverage Adhesive Cutlets For An Invisible Lift

Just stick these ALLSABRA adhesive silicone cutlets on your breasts and let them do their job — it’s that simple. The push-up and lifting effect is out of this world while keeping your look ultra-natural. “I wore these for my vow renewal in Cabo. It was VERY hot and humid, so I was fully prepared for these to peel off before the end of the night. We danced a lot and I was literally drenched in sweat because of the humidity… these cutlets stuck with me the entire time,” one customer confirmed.

This Hidden Bra Pouch That Safely Holds Cards & Cash

This nifty little bra pouch is a clever way to keep your cash and cards safely out of sight while traveling. Its bra strap-like clasp is adjustable and can go on the front or side of any bra, and the snap closure ensures up to six cards, cash, and a key are safe inside. The pouch is made of soft, breathable lingerie fabric so it's comfortable to wear all day.

“It keeps me from having to carry a wallet inside the store when I don't have any way to carry extra stuff,” one shopper commented. “ Leave the bulky bag or purse in the vehicle if you only need to run in [and] pick up items that you only need to pay for with a credit card, ID, cash..., it's a no-brainer.” Another reviewer shared liking to tuck it into boots.
