When buying a backless bras you are looking for a bra that is free of straps and has a clasp that is a bit lower in the back. Some backless bras are even free of a back clasp and work with adhesive to the sides, making the bra essentially the two cups. You would buy this for a completely backless top. Moreover, it is a temporary bra because the adhesive will wear down over time. The best buy for a backless bra is one that has clear straps that can be added to the bra, making it convertible.

A feature that is often overlooked when considering a new bra is breathability. Better air circulation to the breast area is not only great for breast skin, it's also important for overall breast health. Traditional bra cups are not designed to have breathability. Make sure the padded bras you are considering are made with perforated bra pads.
