Enter, Pepper.

A few months ago, I saw an ad on Instagram for Pepper, a bra company that promised to make exceptionally fitting bras for the small-chested community (specifically, those with AA, A, or B cups). While I was definitely intrigued, I didn’t bite. Frankly, I didn’t believe the hype. But as time went on, I started seeing more and more testimonials from the IBTC and decided to take them for a spin.

Finding the perfect size was hassle-free.

The worst part of shopping for new bras is figuring out your bra size. It’s such a hassle with annoying measuring tapes, and I never know exactly where I’m supposed to be measuring in the first place. Luckily, Pepper’s website had both a Fit Guide and a handy and intuitive Size Quiz to help me find my perfect size. Like their bras, the quiz is specifically designed for small boobs—they interviewed thousands of women from cup sizes AA to B and use all of that information to help you find your perfect fit.

Pepper sells a mix of underwire and wirefree bras, mostly in chic, understated colors.

I decided to go with their Mesh All You Bra in Tuscan and their Laidback Lace Bra in Sienna Rose—if I wanted to wear white t-shirts after all this time, I had to make sure I had some nude shades to work with. Then, to spice things up, I snagged some of their more bralette styles too: a Limitless Wirefree Bra in Black and for a little extra fun, their limited edition Cherry Bomb Bra.

I tried on the wireless ones first, as I consider these to be like a gateway bra.

The shape of both were incredibly flattering and the material was mega-soft to the touch. The straps were easily adjustable (I remember this not being the case with other bras…) and it felt true to size. The mesh detailing added a flirty touch to the otherwise muted look of the black bra. So yes, I loved the wireless bras but honestly—if I’m going to put in the effort of wearing a bra, I want it to be a bra bra. An adult, lacy, underwire bra. For years, even when the person at the store assured me I had been sized correctly, bras would simply never fit.

So when I tried on the Mesh All You Bra for the first time, I was truly, without exaggeration, shocked.

My first thought was: “Woah, this is what bras are supposed to look like.” It felt kind of like I had boobs for the first time ever, not because it was a mega push up bra, but because it actually fit and supported me with an authentic lift, the way they always should have. The detailing of the lace bra is a perfect, more feminine counterpart to the more understated All You bra. It’s not too over the top, but definitely adds some of the lingerie sexiness I’ve been missing out on.

This probably goes without saying, but: I’m beyond sold on Pepper.

I’ve sent them to every IBTC friend I have and have officially bought three new white shirts that I can finally wear with my new nude bras. Not to mention, they value sustainability (and transparency). They have a full page on their site dedicated to showing their sustainability practices. Our favorite? They’ll send you a discount code if you send them a photo of you recycling your old bras! Above all else, a female-founded, body-positive brand on a mission to make small-boobed people feel sexy and confident is a brand I can get behind.

Bravo, Pepper. Bravo.
