Great bra!
Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2018
Iâm 41, and for anyone who has DD breasts you will understand how gravity is treating me at this point in my life. Iâve tried a lot of bras, from discount store to Direct Marketing and itâs no joke that Iâve invested more money in undergarments than in my 401K. I wear either a 36 DD or a 38 D(but usually the band is too loose if I size up) I ordered a medium and it is perfect. This bra gives a minimizing effect, which is exactly what I was looking for. It also appears to be very well made, fingers crossed that it will withstand the rigors of my day job, moving papers from desk to filing cabinet, I wonât be able to retire until 90, I spent all my money searching for the perfect bra..
Buy it - youâll love it and likely live in it

I added a pic of the size chart because the one posted here when I was shopping was for panties, not a bra. (P.S. I hate the word panties)I owned this bra previously and it has become my favorite bra. I have pretty much lived in it for the last three years. As you can imagine the elastics become a little worse for the wear. I have also delivered and breastfed two babies through this bra and lost about hundred pounds in this bra. The reason Iâm telling you this is because I want you to know how terribly fitting it was by this point On top of all the above reasons, my daily wear and tear had eliminated all traces of writing on this bra so I had NO clue what brand or style it was. Thankfully they havenât changed that contrast detailing (the shiny part) under the cups so it was pretty easy to identify.My *NEW* bra came today and I will say it definitely fits true to size. I thought it was maybe too snug in the band but I realized Iâm just used to a band with no elasticity remaining (much like my breasts themselves IYKWIM) and I am thrilled to have this bra back in rotation. I will have to buy more so I donât have such a horrendous story to share next time and actually rotate them out.The support is firm without being a uniboob sports bra and the cut is still feminine enough to wear under a tee shirt. It has a nice lift for now, but I can tell you from experience that itâs lifting capability will be its first sign to replace.All in all, youâre reading this because you hate VS - I know because youâre my kind of people - looking at amazon reviews for a wire free bra - and so I can tell you to trust me... BUY THIS ONE. Itâll do right by you I promise. Just follow the size chart and donât assume.
Awesome leisure bra

To be clear, this isn't a great replacement for a "regular" bra. That being said, every woman's cleavage is different in not only size but also shape and how they attach to your body, so perhaps for some it might be. Going bra-less for long day periods isn't very comfortable for me. When taking a bra sizing quiz once they informed me my breast are "pendulous". Thanks guys, way to boost my ego on my saggy boobs. It does mean some support is usually more comfortable for me and eliminates that sweaty underboob feeling while I'm up and about. I'm currently home much more than usual dealing with health issues. Frankly, being ill I really don't want to put on an underwire that while usually comfortable just can't seem to fit correctly right now. I tried sports bras as a leisure bra, but they just aren't that great. This bra is far easier to put on that a sports bra thanks to the back clip and my boobs aren't smished against my chest while my only "high activity" is doing simple house chores. This bra lifts and separates some, also eliminating the sports bra "uniboob", which feels a bit more flattering around my husband (I'm sick, not dead). I'm a 38DD and purchased a medium. I think a large would fit my bust size a bit better, but the chest strap would definitely be too large then. If I had to describe this to someone looking for a leisure bra, I'd say it's like someone made a bra from soft breathable nylons that fit like comfy boob hammocks.
Most comfortable bra I've ever found!
Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2017
I've always worn the Bali (Hanes) Barely There microfiber bras because they were the most comfortable bra I've found, but as I've gotten older and heavier they were giving me absolutely NO support at all. In order to get the support I needed, I had to wear a small, which gave me more support and they stretch to fit, but weren't quite as comfortable and the straps were pulling on my shoulders too much. I decided to attempt to find a more supportive bra, and tried quite a few different ones that I ordered from Amazon, because it is so easy to return them if they don't fit. I did try going to the store to find a bra, but the selection was just overwhelming, and I found it much easier to shop on Amazon so I could see the reviews. My trouble is that although my measurement is 36, most bras with a 36 inch band were too small, although the cups fit well. When I tried bras with larger bands, the bands fit well, but the cups always increased in size accordingly, so the bra fit well, but the cups were way too large. It was virtually impossible to find a band size/cup size that worked for me. Plus they all felt like I was wearing a harness rig. So I tried this bra in an XXL and was totally AMAZED! The band and straps are incredibly soft and so comfortable and fit PERFECTLY with no more tugging on my shoulders. I actually forget I'm wearing it at all. It's more of a sports bra style, so the cups are nice and snug and give me way more support than the Barely There bras I have been wearing. Although for a lot of women the support may not be enough, it's plenty for me and way more than what I've been used to. I might even be able to go down to an XL if I wanted more support, but I'm really happy with this one and don't want to compromise comfort for support! This is a really good everyday bra -- I did try one of the Bali Women's Comfort Revolution Shaping wirefree bras, and it's also very comfortable with even more support, so I'll save that one for special occasions when I need the support. The Bali Comfort Revolution bras are awesome and I'm very happy I finally found what I was looking for!!

I got excited about this product having read the reviews and was very disappointed. Provides no support, gives no shape and the thinnest of materials. The pictures suggest this will work even for larger breasts but is nothing more than a crop top/training bra. However, I've recently had to have breast surgery and this has a soft comfortable band around the ribs but with the lack of support it gives I'm not sure of the benefits of wearing it. I certainly won't be going out wearing it and it's not worth the money paid. Keeping it purely for the post operative comfort it provides.

I have been buying these bras for some time as they are a very comfortable fit and do give some support. However with this, my last purchase, I noticed that the fabric is much thinner and as a result not as supportive. Please donât ruin a good thing!

I forgot these bra's had a rear fastening ,and was initially thinking they'd be so uncomfortable - but I was wrong .They fitted very well , even slightly large .I got the denim blue in 3xl as I have a problem with bra's and wanted something that didn't dig.I wear 2 bra's at once for extra support .I'd recommend it for women with large uncomfy breasts .

I bought some of these bras when I was in New York and now delighted that I can buy them in the UK on Amazon, The most comfortable bra I`ve ever had and no other comparison in the UK brands I would recommend them to anyone,Though the ones I bought in NY said playtex and came in various other colours (few years ago) but since bought from Amazon and are exactly the same

This bra would be fine for a size 36 and below, but for me as a 40D it does not have the support needed, it fits but doesn't give a good shape compared to underwired bras.
