b.tempt'd Review: Wacoal Quality at a Lower Price
b.tempt'd is Wacoal's younger, cheaper sister brand: pretty lace, comfy bralettes, and smooth t-shirt bras with some of Wacoal's fit sensibility, at a fraction of the price.
Last updated: July 2026 · 295 b.tempt'd products tracked · Bands 28-40 · Cups A-DDD
Our verdict
b.tempt'd is where you go for a pretty, comfortable bra without spending a lot. It is made by Wacoal, so the fit sensibility is better than most brands at this price, and the range of lace bralettes, t-shirt bras, and strapless styles is wide. The catch is the size range: it stops around a DDD cup, so it is a small-to-mid-cup brand, not a full-bust one.
Quick Facts

b.tempt'd is Wacoal's younger, more affordable line, aimed at everyday prettiness rather than full-bust engineering. Because it is a Wacoal brand, the fit and construction punch above the price, and the catalog is broad: lace bralettes, smooth t-shirt bras, strapless styles, and lightly padded push-ups. It is the easy, inexpensive way to buy a bra that looks good, as long as you are within its A-DDD cup range.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is b.tempt'd a good bra brand?
Yes, for the price. b.tempt'd is Wacoal's younger, affordable line, so it carries more fit sensibility than most brands at this cost, with a wide range of pretty lace, bralettes, and t-shirt bras. The main limit is size: it stops around a DDD cup, so it is a small-to-mid-cup brand.
Is b.tempt'd made by Wacoal?
Yes. b.tempt'd is Wacoal's younger, more affordable sister brand. It aims at everyday prettiness and lower prices rather than the premium engineering of the main Wacoal line, but it benefits from Wacoal's fit and construction knowledge, which is why it fits better than most budget brands.
What sizes does b.tempt'd make?
b.tempt'd runs bands from 28 to 40 and cups from A to DDD, depending on the style, with bralettes in S-XL sizing. It does not make full-bust sizes, so if you wear a G+ cup you will need a dedicated full-bust brand instead.
Does b.tempt'd run true to size?
Generally yes within its A-DDD range. Start from your correctly fitted band and cup for the underwire styles; bralettes follow S-XL sizing, so check the brand's size chart. The fit is more considered than most budget brands because it is a Wacoal line.
b.tempt'd vs Wacoal: what is the difference?
b.tempt'd is the affordable, younger, prettier line; Wacoal is the premium parent brand with more engineering, a wider size range, and better materials. Choose b.tempt'd for style and value in A-DDD, and Wacoal when you want premium construction or fuller sizing. See our b.tempt'd vs Wacoal comparison for a head-to-head.
