Cozy Earth's Semi-Annual Sale has up to 25% off bedding, loungewear and more
From Oprah's favorite bathrobe to staff-loved quilts and editor-favorite bamboo sheets, it's no surprise why the online retailer has so many fans. I've browsed through the hundreds of items on sale and rounded up my favorites to make adding them to your cart a bit easier.
Cozy Earth Complete Waffle Bath Bundle
This set includes some of the best towels, bath sheets, hand towels and washcloths. Its absorbent waffle knit is lightweight and quick drying while making your bathroom look like a spa.
Cozy Earth Luxe Hair Towel
Upgrade your wash day routine with this cotton and bamboo blend hair towel. It gently dries your hair without creating damage by wringing our water from a heavier bath towel and keeps your hair in place for maximum functionality when in use.
Cozy Earth Luxe Striped Bath Towels
These plush, striped bath towels are crafted from the same blend as the Luxe Hair Towel mentioned above. The pack of two is absorbent and soft, perfect for a single homeowner or apartment dweller.
Cozy Earth Aire Bamboo Puckered Shams
Tie your bedscape together with these puckered shams, available in three sizes. One side has a smooth finish suitable for cozying up, while the other has a subtle stitch pattern for a textured look.
Cozy Earth Bamboo Sheet Set
Choose from more than 10 classic colors and five new colors (including two pin-stripe styles) of breathable sheets that get softer with each wash and sleep. The set comes with a top sheet, fitted sheet and two pillowcases, making it a perfect starter set for someone who just moved.
Cozy Earth Bubble Cuddle Pillow
Whether lounging on the couch or lying on your bed with a cozy blanket, this velvety Cuddle Pillow is the plush accent piece that you didn't know you needed. It comes in three neutral colors and has an invisible zipper closure for the sleekest finish.
Cozy Earth Women's Bamboo Stretch-Knit Short Sleeve Pajama Set
Sleeping in a pajama set has changed the way that I sleep. In addition to looking more put together, I feel more comfortable in breathable fabrics and styles that move with me during rest. This short-sleeved set is perfect for warmer temperatures and is 20% off in different styles.
Cozy Earth Women's CityScape Crewneck
If you haven't heard, butter yellow is so in. This bright, cheery crewneck is an easy swap for those darker hoodies that you've been nuzzled in all winter long.
Cozy Earth Essential Calf Sock, 2-Pack
I got my hands on Cozy Earth's crew socks and was obsessed. This slightly higher cropped version has the same knitted arch support and cushioning that I love from budget crew socks, and now they are $27 for a 2-pack.
Cozy Earth Men's Everywhere Pant
For nearly $100, these classic men's pants come in a more vast array of sizes, lengths and colors than pants at comparable brands. They are great for wearing to the office or dressing down with sneakers for casual wear.
Cozy Earth Men's Bamboo Stretch-Knit Short Sleeve Pajama Set
Pajama sets are for everybody! Treat your partner to this stretchy short and tee set that's designed to help keep them cool and comfortable all year round.
Cozy Earth Men's StretchTech Hoodie
When it starts warming up, this chocolate brown hoodie will be your new BFF. It's tailored enough to wear out with friends but cozy for those dressed-down athleisure days too. In January, our deals editor Jacqueline Saguin, rounded up her favorite deals from Cozy Earth's We Made Too Much section. At that time duvets, sheets, towels and loungewear were 20% off. Since the seasons are changing and many of us are doing a bit of a spring wardrobe refresh, we thought it would be useful to cover this Semi-Annual Sale event that's seeing markdowns of up to 25% off.

The 42 best products we tried and loved in July
July has come to an end, and although the heat sometimes made it hard for us to think straight, the CNN Underscored team still managed to rack up a bunch of new favorite products, including an Instagram-famous lip treatment and ultra-stylish bath mat. Despite how much we complained about the weather, we still managed to spend plenty of time outdoors, which we made bearable and even — dare I say it — enjoyable thanks to some great finds, like a beach chair that's easy to take on the go and sunglasses suitable for long walks. To see exactly what we were loving this past month, keep reading. We have one hot and sunny month left this season, so we plan to continue using these summertime favorites. Hopefully, you'll love them just as much as we do. Mustard Made The Mixer Storage Locker It's hard to find storage solutions that are actually attractive, but Mustard Made has pretty much nailed it with its locker-style cabinets. The Mixer, featuring stylish glass panels that show off what's inside, is perhaps my new favorite furniture. It shipped in one box, and though it wasn't the easiest piece to build, the payoff was big. I'm completely obsessed with the Olive green color and wish I had the space for even more lockers in more colors. — Chelsea Stone, editorial director Proofed! Laundry Detergent Sheets I've been on a plastic reduction journey, and I recently learned my beloved laundry detergent sheets were laden with the stuff. I've switched to Proofed!, the only plastic-free sheet on the market. I appreciate the scent-free sheets as someone sensitive to fragrances, and I can now clean my clothes without worrying about pesky microplastics. — Carolina Gazal, associate testing writer Grandin Road Ava Slipcovered Chair I was influenced to pick up this navy-blue slipcovered chair by a coworker (who owns multiple Ava collection pieces) after she raved about its cloudlike cushions. And she wasn't lying! The chair is unbelievably cozy and upon sitting in it for the first time, my husband immediately said, 'I can't wait to nap in this.' The slipcovers are also a huge bonus: They're easily removable, making cleaning spills or stains a breeze. It is truly as functional as it is comfy, and it's made my house extra homey. — Stephanie Griffin, director of social Glerups Slip-Ons With Natural Rubber Soles I've owned slippers from Ugg and but these are more comfortable and they work in hot or cold temperatures. They've shown no signs of decline after months of heavy wear, despite being made entirely out of wool. — Joe Bloss, associate testing writer Laundry Sauce Laundry Detergent Pods in Mojave Peach, 69-Count Luxury cleaning products can be hit or miss, but I'm surprised by how much I'm enjoying these splurgy laundry detergent pods. The scent isn't overpowering by any means; I get an ever so slight hint of the peach scent on my clothes by using just one pod in the washer. They also dissolve super well (better than Tide pods, in my experience). I got the matching dryer sheets and have been enjoying those too, though I am trying to switch to using dryer balls instead. The Peach Mojave is a limited-edition scent, so I'm already thinking about trying the brand's other scents once I run out. — Amina Lake Patel, home and gifts editor Smell House Work From Home Candle The Smell House Work From Home Candle has become one of my favorite parts of my workday. The scent is a blend of coconut, espresso and vanilla. I've used it so much in July — especially during our Prime Day coverage — that I'll need to grab another one soon. — Gareen Puglia, associate testing writer Ruggable Anika Green Rug I've heard colleagues sing the praises of Ruggable's washable rugs for years, so when I found myself in the market for a runner, I knew it was my chance to finally try the internet-famous brand out for myself. Turns out, it's not overhyped. The two-piece system is essentially foolproof, and the rug itself is comfy, not to mention chic. My cat loves it too, which is why I'm doubly excited that I can just toss it into the washer when it starts looking a little worse for wear. — Chelsea Stone, editorial director Grove Co. 3-in-1 Wrinkle Release I use this wrinkle-release spray a lot in the summer because it's good for lightweight garments that I don't want to damage with my steamer, like silky dresses and scarves. The night before I want to wear something, I spray it with this and hang it to air-dry, and it's significantly less wrinkly the next day. The spray smells faintly of lavender, which I don't mind. — Nikol Slatinska, associate home and gifts editor Simplehuman Sensor Pump Foam I'm a longtime fan of Simplehuman's motion-activated home products. I've been using the Liquid Sensor Pump to dispense hand sanitizer and liquid hand soap for years, but I recently got this version that dispenses a rich foam — which is my preference for hand soap. I love the sleek design and that it automatically adjusts how much soap it dispenses depending on where you place your hand. Plus, it lasts for months on a single charge. The brand makes its own soap tablets, but I've had success using a foaming soap refill I already had at home. — Amina Lake Patel, home and gifts editor OxiClean Odor Blasters Versatile Odor and Stain Remover Powder My activewear can get especially funky after I work out in the hot weather, and so far, I haven't found anything as effective at removing sweat odors as this specific OxiClean powder. Every week, I put my dirty sports bras and running shorts into a bucket and fill it with this powder and hot water. I let the clothes soak for a couple of hours, then wash them on a normal cycle. No more bad smells! — Nikol Slatinska, associate home and gifts editor Quiet Town Ojai Clay Bath Mat Maybe you've spotted Quiet Town's eye-catching Sun Shower curtains on social media (if you haven't, check them out, as they really are something to behold). I was less familiar, though, with the brand's other bathroom offerings, including bath mats. I recently added the striped Ojai Clay mat to my tub and have found it not only complements my colorblocked Sun Shower [2-in-1 shower curtain and liner] particularly well, but it's also exceptionally absorbent and dries shockingly fast. — Chelsea Stone, editorial director Birkenstock Milano Big Buckle Sandals As someone who exceeds 20,000 steps a day, I prioritize comfort. But I'm also tired of looking, well, tired in beat-up sneakers. After a months-long hunt for the perfect summer sandals, I've found my dream pick. These Birkenstocks are easily my best purchase in the last decade, offering arch and ankle support, adjustable straps for a customized fit, a contoured footbed, breathability in the summer heat and a break-in period that only lasted a week. If, like me, you've been a devotee to the brand's slip-on counterparts, this supportive option for longer days on your feet is definitely worth a try. — Marissa Miller, contributing editor The Framery Corinne Sunglasses I've almost exclusively worn Warby Parker eyewear for years, but after some issues with getting them adjusted properly and finding new styles I like, I decided to branch out. I wanted a simple, no-frills pair of sunglasses to wear when I go on long walks outside, and the Corinne frames from The Framery seemed like a great choice. I was impressed by the site's low prices — even for high-index lenses (which is what I need with my prescription) and tinted lenses. I like these better than other sunglasses I have that are more than double the price. — Amina Lake Patel, home and gifts editor Dagne Dover Rhys Backpack In the last few months, I finally decided to convert to wearing backpacks to work because my shoulders couldn't take totes anymore. I couldn't find a backpack that didn't clash with my outfits — that is, until Dagne Dover launched this new drawstring backpack. I've heard great things about the brand's backpacks but I like this more dainty silhouette. — Tamara Kraus, senior lifestyle editor Homage The Sandlot L7 Weenie Tee 'The Sandlot' has been one of my favorite movies since I first saw it in the '90s, and Homage is one of my favorite brands for buying unique sports clothing. The two have paired up for a truly awesome and nostalgic collection. My favorite is this comfy T-shirt perfect to wear to baseball games — or whenever I want to show my love for the movie. — Lindsey Smith, newsletter editor Baublebar Medium Custom Icon Tote You probably know Baublebar for its trendy yet affordable jewelry, and you might even be familiar with its ever-popular, customizable accessories like phone cases and throw blankets. Now the brand has officially entered the tote game with a bag that has become my go-to for beach days and park hangs. Choose from three sizes and a range of fun patches that speak to your own unique style and personality — or that of a loved one, as this would make for a great gift! — Chelsea Stone, editorial director Eos Creme de Pistachio Body Lotion I love all of Eos' lotions, but this one takes the (ice cream) cake. The smell lasts forever on my skin, and it's also super hydrating. I love that the pistachio smell isn't overpowering, so even if you don't particularly like pistachio, you still might like this lotion. — Gabriella Triolo, social coordinator Glossier Banana Pudding Balm Dotcom I've been a longtime fan of Glossier's Balm Dotcom (I was one of the brand's first 'reps' around 2016 when they had a Glossier rep program!), but this newest Banana Pudding flavor in collaboration with Magnolia Bakery is my favorite yet. It smells just like the dessert — so much, that it's tempting to want to taste it. — Tamara Kraus, senior lifestyle editor Valentino V-Lighter Face Base Primer and Highlighter I hate wearing really heavy makeup during the summertime, so this primer and highlighter combo from Valentino has been a game changer for me. Not only does it give my makeup an automatic glowy look but it also doesn't wear too greasy on my already oily skin. It also helps my makeup to last all day even after being super sweaty from the summer sun. — Gabriella Triolo, social coordinator Rhode Pocket Blush The Rhode Pocket Blush has been on my want-to-try list for a while now, and I finally got my hands on the brand's new summer hue, Tan Line. No one wants to put on a full face of makeup on in this heat, and what I love about this natural shade is that it's the perfect color to enhance your sun-kissed skin. I can confirm all the reviews were accurate when they say that the formula is ultra creamy, super blendable and luxuriously hydrating. — Molly Flores, photo editor Charlotte Tilbury Unreal Lips Healthy Glow Nectar Oil From Rhode to Summer Fridays to Glossier and lots more, the lip balm category is so crowded that I was highly skeptical of Charlotte Tilbury jumping on the bandwagon with these fruity tubes. However, the brand has created a unique formula that truly stands out from the rest. Unlike the other balms, Unreal Lips are lip oils, so they have a super-glossy finish while still providing comfort and hydration. It lasts on my lips even through eating and drinking, and I love how it makes my lips look and feel. I have the Juicylicious Pure Peach flavor that's perfect for summer. — Sophie Shaw, beauty and fashion editor Hume Supernatural Aluminum-Free Deodorant I love my Carpe Underarm Stick, but it oozes out in the heat, which doesn't make it ideal for traveling. This Hume Deodorant, however, stays solid, which makes the application not just easy but not messy as well. Underarm protection, as well as the vanilla scent, also lasts all day long. I'm usually not a fan of vanilla, but I love how it smells on this one. — Michelle Rae Uy, testing and updates writer L'Oréal Paris True Match Nude Hyaluronic Tinted Serum I have been searching for a tinted serum to use instead of a heavy foundation during the summer. I've seen this affordable L'Oréal one all over social media, so I decided to try it for myself. Spoiler alert: It's awesome. It offers great coverage without being heavy, and I love the added 1% hyaluronic acid to help smooth my skin. — Lindsey Smith, newsletter editor Marin Lip Treatment in Strawberry Rhubarb I have had dry lips for years and years. After months of Accutane, my lips became super dry and cracked, and now, years later, I never leave the house without lip balm in my pocket. I saw the Marin Lip Treatment on TikTok, and after countless videos on my FYP, I decided to purchase. This is now my second tube, and I can't recommend it enough. The flavors are the best I have ever tried. I highly recommend the Strawberry Rhubarb for a nice summer flavor. It's thick and slick, and stays on my lips for hours at a time. It also soothes my cracked lips, thanks to the marine glycoproteins. If you need to stock up on a new lip product, this is definitely one to check out! — Tyler Holender, social strategist Twelve South PowerBug 2-in-1 Wall Mount Charger This unique charger is a total game changer for my kitchen. The PowerBug turns any AC wall outlet into a floating MagSafe mount that I've been using for following along with recipes while I cook. It also has a 35W USB-C charging port on the side for powering other accessories. — Rikka Altland, senior deals editor Airthings Corentium Home 2 Radon Detector Moving into an old home with a basement comes with great benefits, but this Bluetooth-equipped Radon detector has helped me stay ahead of potential problems. It monitors levels of the potentially harmful gas and also keeps tabs on humidity and temperature levels. — Joe Bloss, associate testing writer BodyGuardz Red Light Converter We've all heard about how smartphones emit blue light that causes eye strain, sleep disruption and even signs of aging for our skin. More than just a screen protector, this tempered glass cover converts that harmful blue light into red light. This means that it makes our phones easier on the eyes and skin, without needing to turn on the weird orangey 'Night Shift' mode. I was actually shocked that the colors on my screen look exactly the same as without the converter. It uses what the brand calls 'quantum dot technology' to achieve this, and you can slightly see the red tint if your screen is off but not when it's illuminated. It's a really cool intersection of beauty and tech, and one of the most intriguing products I've tested this year. — Sophie Shaw, beauty and fashion editor Teenage Engineering OB-4 Magic Radio I was tired of sacrificing good sound for a portable Bluetooth speaker at home. Even though I live in a studio apartment, I enjoy something I can grab and move from area to area while doing chores, cooking in the kitchen and grilling out back. My music-connoisseur boyfriend recommended this Teenage Engineering speaker to me a while back, and after using it for a few months, it has quickly become my best friend. Not only does it play your favorite songs at outstanding quality but it has various settings if you feel like playing music producer. Its sleek design has anyone who visits asking me about it! — Molly Flores, photo editor Nanu Arc Alarm Clock I've exclusively been using my Apple Watch as an alarm clock for over a decade now. But that ended this month when the Nanu Alarm Clock landed on my nightstand. I love just how well made it is almost as much as [I love] its retro design. This feels like the last alarm clock I'll ever need and is a purchase I'm quite happy with, despite its steep price tag. — Rikka Altland, senior deals editor Polk Signa S4 Soundbar With Wireless Subwoofer Becoming obsessed with projectors has sent me down a rabbit hole of creating the best home theater setup I can (within the limits of renting). Sure, an expensive surround-sound install might be better, but I've still been mighty impressed by this soundbar and its accompanying subwoofer. That bass hits like I'm in a movie theater. — Joe Bloss, associate testing writer Jolene Coffee Mix Pack I'm a canned coffee snob, but I quickly got hooked on Jolene coffee, founded by none other than Red Hot Chili Peppers lead Anthony Kiedis and buddy Shane Powers. Naturally, it's a concert-friendly bold brew sourced from Peruvian beans. The oat milk latte is also deliciously smooth and, made with coconut sugar to boot. I also love that a portion of the proceeds goes back to the coffee community — specifically, the all-female coffee growers at Café Femenino. — Carolina Gazal, associate testing writer Jack Link's Mini Turkey Sticks It's hard to find portable snacks that cater to my savory cravings, and these high-protein, herb-flavored turkey jerky sticks totally fit the bill. Unlike my crumbly granola days of yore, they make zero mess while on the go, stabilize my blood sugar levels, assist with muscle recovery as a trainer and nutrition enthusiast and give Thanksgiving in July vibes. I highly recommend these sticks if you've made a deal with yourself to prioritize protein (and have had it *up to here* with cottage cheese). — Marissa Miller, contributing editor Jumbo Time Wines Summer Sixer This exquisite selection of easy-sipping wines has been on repeat this summer. From dinner parties to a quiet night in, there's a bottle for every occasion. Some are funky, some are fruity and [all] are a great intro to natural wine for those looking to get experimental this season. Personally, I favor Surf's Up, a lovely bright red blend that's juicy and refreshing. — Molly Flores, photo editor Brooks Women's Glycerin 22 Running Shoes After reading about how much my co-workers all rave about Brooks, I figured it was time to give them a try. This year, I've been revamping my workout shoe collection because I realized I was wearing the wrong shoes for different activities. The second I slipped these cushiony sneakers on, I wished I'd gotten them months ago. They're now my go-to for my walks. — Tamara Kraus, senior lifestyle editor Darn Tough Women's Run No Show Tab Ultra-Lightweight Running Socks Socks really do matter when your feet are taking a beating, so I'm almost as picky about the socks I wear as I am about my shoes. I recently tried Darn Tough's ultra-lightweight running socks, and they're fantastic. Marathon training as a beginner isn't easy, but these socks make my feet comfortable enough (as well as protected) to keep going. I think I'm buying more! — Michelle Rae Uy, testing and updates writer Foreo Issa 4 Toothbrush I've been using the same electric toothbrush for years and thought it was good ... until I swapped to the Foreo Issa 4 and I realized I've been missing out. I love that the brush head is twice as big as my old one, making sure I don't miss a spot while brushing. It also has three modes, including whitening, sensitive and deep-cleaning. The brush head also doesn't need to be replaced as often and can be changed twice a year. Plus, it can last a full year on just one charge. — Lindsey Smith, newsletter editor Oura Ring Gen 3 I've been wanting to track all of my health stats but didn't want to have to deal with wearing a clunky watch to do so. This month I got to try out the Oura Ring, and I'm absolutely loving it. I barely realize I have it on throughout the day, and it's one of the most accurate fitness trackers I've tried. My favorite thing is that it's waterproof so I can wear it in the shower, while washing my hands and even on a swim. — Gabriella Triolo, social coordinator Forme Collagen Power Bra I was highly skeptical of a sports bra costing upwards of $200, but I have to say, the Forme sports bra is truly worth the hype, especially if you have a larger bust. I wore it during my recent move and noticed a huge difference in the level of support and comfort I felt while doing a lot of movement and heavy lifting. The bra I tried also had the added benefit of CollagenTech fabric, which the brand claims will help keep your skin feeling soft and fresh, though I didn't really feel anything out of the ordinary on that front. My advice: Save $30 and just go with the original Power Bra. — Chelsea Stone, editorial director Hoka Women's Arahi 8 Running Shoes I'm training for a half marathon in November, and the new Arahi 8 from Hoka, along with my Bondi 8 and Clifton 9 GTX, are my training shoes, which means I'm wearing them almost every day. I've tested a few other marathon training shoes from brands like Nike, Merrell and On, but I think these are among the best for my feet. They're very balanced and lightweight, and offer a lot of stability. It feels so good wearing them they make me want to run longer! — Michelle Rae Uy, testing and updates writer Praia Beach Chair This stylish chair has been on my arm all summer. Not only does it actually look modern and cool (for a beach chair) but it's also incredibly lightweight — only 5 pounds! Because it's so easy to carry around, thanks to a wide shoulder strap, I've been toting it around to tons of outdoor events this season. — Chelsea Stone, editorial director BrüMate 35-Ounce Nav Travel Tumbler Somehow, I haven't fallen for the Stanley or Hydro Flask tumbler hype yet, but I finally bit the bullet and bought this BrüMate tumbler for Prime Day — and I'm so glad I did. I'm drinking so much more water per day, and the patented magnetic BevLock lid keeps all my liquids incredibly leakproof. I'm obsessed (and I finally understand all the tumbler hype). — Daniel Toy, copy chief Halfdays Bastille Trail Pants I spent most of my July in the mountains near my apartment to test the best hiking pants for women. The Halfdays Bastille Trail Pants were one of my favorites to sport on an afternoon hike. They're made of breathable material that keeps me cool under the sun and are extremely moisture wicking. I also found the high-waisted fit very flattering. Their performance rivals our winning pick, so if you have a larger budget for you hiking gear, consider this pair for your next outdoor adventure — Gareen Puglia, associate testing writer CNN Underscored has a team of writers and editors who have many years of experience testing, researching and recommending products, and they ensure each article is carefully edited and products are properly vetted.

We wore all kinds of sticky bras to find comfortable, sweatproof winners
The best sticky bras we tested Best sticky bra: Lounge Underwear Stick-On Bra Best nonadhesive sticky bra: Sticky Boobs Nonadhesive Nipple Covers A great outfit can be elevated with the simplest of fashion hacks. It can be small, like using roll-on adhesive to help your clothes stay in place or tying a scarf around your waist to go with a plain white T-shirt. Or it can be more striking, like adding a pop of color to an all-black outfit or securing a strapless bra under a beautiful, sleeveless blouse. But perhaps one of the most impactful yet subtle fashion hacks can be achieved by keeping a stash of sticky bras handy. As someone who has gone to countless weddings, formal events and more, I can personally vouch for sticky cover-ups when traditional bras just won't cut it. They've saved the day when wearing bodycon dresses, daring necklines or even delicate fabrics that need a smooth, invisible finish. Lightweight, discreet and surprisingly supportive, they are the true unsung heroes when assembling tricky silhouettes, all while maintaining confidence and comfort. That being said, not all sticky bras are going to do the trick. A good sticky bra must be sweatproof, last through cardio-boosting dance sessions and, ultimately, be comfortable enough to wear for extended periods. That's why we tested a range of sticky bras to find the very best. Here's what we landed on. A post shared by CNN Underscored (@cnnunderscored)Related article 34 of the best summer dresses for effortless style, recommended by stylistsLounge Underwear Stick-On Bra Lounge Underwear's sticky bra exceeded our expectations, doing far more than the average silicone paddings. This bra comes in three shades and ranges in cup sizes from A to E. It features a center-front clip for easy fastening as well. But what really stood out for us was the waterproof material that makes it great for slick summer days. Sticky Boobs Nonadhesive Nipple Covers Small, portable and reusable, our testing panel loved these convenient, nonadhesive sticky nipple covers. Though not as supportive as the Lounge bra, we're fans of the comfort and portability of these palm-sized sticky bras. Even though they're nonadhesive, they stayed put through all sorts of wear. Sticky bras come in many shapes, sizes and forms, and although everyone has different preferences, a good sticky bra should be high coverage, stay put without any sliding or gliding and feel breathable and comfortable. Lounge Underwear's Stick-On Bra won over our panel for these reasons, plus much more. At $40, this Lounge sticky bra felt like a sleek solution for outfits that don't work with strapped bras, like linen ensembles, scarf tops and low necklines. Made with 86% chinlon (a nylon fabric) and 14% spandex (an elastic, stretchy fiber), the lightweight bra features soft foam cups with a center-front clip that makes it easy to fasten and remove. Our testers appreciated the sheer comfort of this bra and that it had no underband or padding, which helps it sit invisibly under clothing. 'It's comfortable to wear and easy to take off,' associate testing writer Gareen Puglia said, noting how thrilled she was to see sizing up to an E. This bra gets the job done without any bells and whistles. 'If you're looking for something with more lift, I'm not sure this does the trick,' Puglia added, 'but this bra [is pretty] great.' And for sweltering days, the waterproof, sweatproof adhesive is designed to hold up in heat and humidity. Testing writer Michelle Rae Uy agreed, adding that it didn't feel uncomfortably sticky, making it ideal for summer heat. It's important to note the stick-on bra comes in three shades: Sand, Mocha and Nutmeg. I appreciate the range of colors, especially when considering lightweight tops for the summer. I also liked the center-front clip, which made everything feel more secure. However, according to our testers, its reusability is one of its most standout features: If it's removed gently, hand-washed with care and stored properly, it can last for multiple wears. Uy preferred this bra over other stick-on styles for its smooth edges that stayed flush against the skin and didn't irritate her sensitive skin. While she noted the adhesive fully covers the cup, including the nipple area, she appreciated that it remained gentle and effective even during sweaty summer days. However, the bra won't add that extra 'oomph' if that's what you're looking for. Puglia, who recommended sizing up, found it comfortable but noted that the bra lacked lift, which may be improved with a proper fit. The Sticky Boobs Nonadhesive Nipple Covers offer an entirely different experience from the Lounge Underwear Stick-On Bras. They use a skin-safe, discreet solution for anyone seeking extra coverage without the irritation of sticky adhesives. Made from medical-grade silicone and available in three shades (Light, Tan and Dark), these covers are designed to blend seamlessly under clothing, whether you're wearing a fitted tank top, strapless dress or bathing suit. 'I liked the nonadhesive Sticky Boobs, which were useful to wear with already tight clothes or even to stick in a bra for extra coverage,' Puglia said, noting just how comfortable the bra felt. The nonadhesive construction was the true icing on the cake. This means they gently cling to skin without sticking, making them ideal for sensitive skin and for layering inside bralettes or unlined bras. Both testers praised its comfort and versatility. Uy, who often experiences irritation from adhesives, noted that these stayed invisible under even thin tops and didn't cause redness or itchiness. 'I love these so much,' she said. 'The lack of adhesive protects my skin since most make my skin itchy and red.' Puglia agreed and gave them high marks, appreciating how well they worked in a homemade halter top and how they stayed secure all night, offering extra coverage without budging. I appreciated the sturdy case that came with the sticky bras, which were great to pack while traveling for weddings or other events. Though they're marketed as reusable and washable, Uy found that after a few weeks of use, they began to lose their shape and grip, raising questions about long-term value. Still, at just $25, these nipple covers stand out as a practical, low-maintenance wardrobe essential. Related article We tested over a dozen tummy-control swimsuits. These 3 were the most flattering A solid and reliable sticky bra should be equal parts comfortable and long-lasting. To find sticky bras that meet these standards, we researched our favorite brands, ranging from affordable options like Sticky Boobs to higher-end lines like Lounge. Our panel of testers, ranging in sizes, skin tones and types, needs, and heights, wore each sticky bra for a minimum of two weeks to properly test the look and feel of each one. We wore them in a range of scenarios, like under strapless dresses at weddings and at outdoor concerts. We also considered the following. Support: Arguably, a bra's most important factor is support. Does it adequately support movement during wear? Fit: Can the bra effectively handle busts of all sizes? How does the bra fit your body? Is it snug and supportive without being constrictive? Is it true to size? Versatility: Can the sticky bra be worn with different necklines and silhouettes? Is it reusable? Comfort: How long would you want to wear this bra? All day, or is it something you're ready to take off when the day is over? Re-wear factor: Would you use this bra again? Value: Is the bra worth the price? When shopping for a sticky bra, there are a few key factors to keep in mind to ensure comfort, support and reliability. Adhesive strength and skin safety A good sticky bra should not budge through movement, sweat and long wear — but not at the cost of your skin. Look for medical-grade or hypoallergenic adhesives, especially if you have sensitive skin. Coverage and cup size Coverage can have different meanings across brands. Ensure the bra offers enough coverage for your size and shape, particularly if you're looking for lift or support. Some styles go up to an E cup, while others may run small or lack full coverage. Reusability Many sticky bras are designed for multiple uses, but longevity depends on how well the adhesive holds up over time. That's why we wore our bras for several weeks. We recommend checking if the bra is washable and how many wears it's expected to last. Style Plan ahead and think about what outfits you envision wearing it with. Some sticky bras have plunge necklines or side wings for backless dresses, while others offer more of a lift for strapless looks. The shape should ultimately provide a seamless finish. Comfort and wearability Perhaps one of the most important features of a sticky bra should be its comfort level. Since there are no straps or bands for support, the design itself should feel secure without pinching or pulling. It's smart to consider lightweight materials, smooth edges and a breathable fit, especially in warmer weather. Nood Game Changer Lift and Shape Bra, 4-Pack Perhaps the most discreet sticky bra we tested, these Nood "stickers" offered promising coverage for such a thin cover. They held up during testing and offered a somewhat seamless look. All testers agreed the lift was impressive — but not necessary. Nood's adhesive bras are powerful, to say the least, and we found they deliver impressive lift and support, thanks to a strong acrylic adhesive. That strength, however, means proper use is essential. For safe removal, we recommend using body oil or the brand's own Boob Savior Adhesive Remover, as directed in the instructions. 'It took some trial and error to figure this out,' Puglia said. 'However, this felt like one of the most supportive bras.' This bra, ultimately, got docked in our ranking because it could feel painful to take off. Uy agreed, adding she wasn't a fan of the ultra-lifting capabilities. 'It just feels a bit more inconvenient for me to use,' she said. Commando Top Hats Nipple Concealers Tiny, discreet and travel-friendly, the Commando Top Hats Nipple Concealers were solid and reliable. We found them to be a great option for discreet coverage, all in a cute package to boot. They are, however, pretty pricey for a single pair of covers. I appreciated that the Top Hats are made from hypoallergenic silicone with medical-grade adhesive, meaning my skin wasn't irritated after use. They lay flat under clothing and could be worn with or without a bra. While most retailers only seem to carry one shade, do come in three options: Beige, Caramel and Mocha. Each set includes two boob covers and a storage box, so the $54 price tag seemed worth the splurge — but it is a splurge for one pair of covers — especially considering they're comfortable for all-day wear and stay in place without shifting. One thing to note is that these portable concealers should be hand-washed to maintain their shape and adhesive quality. Fashion Forms Full-Figure Gel Petals These delicate petals offered extra coverage and a smooth, seamless finish under clothing. One major downside? They are limited to just one light nude shade. Like many sticky bras, the gel petals were made with ultra-comfortable silicone, meaning they protect sensitive areas without irritating. They looked virtually invisible under white shirts and even stayed hidden beneath sheer fabrics. Though not revolutionary, these nipple covers offered reliable coverage and a smooth, 'barely there' look. The reusable petals only come in a light nude shade, which is a downside for those with darker skin tones. However, they do come with a travel case for storage, which is a small bonus. We had no issues with stickiness, even after multiple adjustments, but keep in mind that the gel petals should be applied to clean, dry skin before using any moisturizers, powders, deodorants or perfumes. Sticky Boobs Sticky Bra Intimidating at first, the Sticky Boobs Sticky Bra is formidable, sturdy and surprisingly comfortable. The $40 was worth it considering the reusable and washable design, plus "nipple-safe" technology. However, the bra only comes in four sizes — A, B, C and D — so larger busts might struggle with this option. This bra was confusing upon first glance. With its dotted, padded lining, this bra was unlike other smaller sticky bras we tested. However, it's ideal for low-cut or open-back styles, thanks to its discreet design and very reliable support. The front clasp was a nice touch when it came to customizing the level of lift and support too. As someone with a smaller frame, I had no issue with fit or sizing. The smooth, seamless edges stayed hidden under clothing, and the butterfly shape helped prevent any visible lines. But those past a size D might experience spillage, considering the limited sizing. One interesting feature, however, was the 'nipple-safe' technology — an adhesive-free zone in the center, which made it more comfortable for sensitive skin. The zone isn't huge, though, so if they don't fit you perfectly, this feature is sort of a bust (no pun intended). What is the most durable type of sticky bra? What is the most durable type of sticky bra? A sticky bra with strong adhesive will likely be the most durable option, especially if it is made with high-quality silicone adhesive. What type of outfits are sticky bras best for? What type of outfits are sticky bras best for? A sticky bra is the ideal undergarment for backless dresses, tight silhouettes or strapless tops. They can also offer extra support under bathing suits or bralettes. Can you reuse sticky bras? Can you reuse sticky bras? It depends on the specific sticky bra and its materials, but in most cases, yes. With proper care and washing, a sticky bra should last multiple uses. Finding the most comfortable sticky bra is no small undertaking. That's why we asked three CNN Underscored testing writers to wear, style and evaluate a range of bras. Though they had varying style preferences and body types, all shared a common goal of finding a comfortable and durable sticky bra for all occasions. Associate testing writer Carolina Gazal is short and petite, usually reaching for smaller tops. She prefers a moisture-wicking sticky bra for dancing the night away. Associate testing writer Gareen Puglia wore her sticky bras with sleeveless blouses and scarf tops to thoroughly test each one's longevity. Testing writer Michelle Rae Uy wore her sticky bras with a range of blouses to test their endurance. She was critical of how the bras would react with her sensitive skin. CNN Underscored thoroughly tests the products in our testing guides and provides full transparency about how we test them. We have a skilled team of writers and editors who have many years of testing experience and ensure each article is carefully edited and products are properly vetted. We talk to top experts when relevant to make certain we are testing each product accurately, recommending only the best products and considering the pros and cons of each item. For this article, associate testing writer Carolina Gazal and two of her colleagues spent weeks wearing a range of sticky bras to find the winners. Although the testers varied in body type and preferences, all came together to land on their favorite, long-lasting winners. Gazal has tested a range of clothing for women — everything from the best sports bras to the best white shirts.
