best bra for big boobs
Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2018
So I don't leave a lot of reviews, but I feel the need to because I have boobs from hell and this is the first bra I have ever owned that works. It's true to size, and not only does it make my uncomfortably big boobs smaller and secure, it makes them even. I have uneven boobs and like a lot of women may know, it sucks. This bra makes them even without squeezing the life out of you. I actually cannot believe it. It provides a little lift as well so your boobs wont feel like they are around your waist. It has a really thick back band, which may or may not be good depending on the coverage you want; I don't mind it. Totally worth the money. Is it super cute? not really, but it works and it looks nice under clothes, not bulky or anything. If you're like me and have a hate-hate relationship with bras, try this bra.
This bra has good support. No overhang bulge at top of bra ...

I'm a size 16/18, 5'8" 220 lbs, size 42D. This bra has good support. No overhang bulge at top of bra cup. Minimal back bulging. Light padding. I personally think this bra is minimizing. I typically buy my bras from Cacique and am used to bras that make my breasts really stand up. I am venturing out and trying some different bras. This one will work, but I find that when the bra minimizes, it makes my gut look bigger. Oh the drama of being a larger gal. I'm keeping it but won't buy more in this style.
It's not 'cooling' but I do like the shaping and feel

It's not keeping me cooler (why is it impossible to make a great all-cotton bra over size 36A?) but that said, I like the feel and the look/shaping is great and comparable to much more expensive 'glamour' bras. A little too snug on the band compared to others of the same size I've had - but it's stretching a bit with wear. The straps stay up pretty well, too. Definitely will order more in different colors.
Excellent fit and support

I am short and 38DD needing firm support. I usually avoid underwire bras because most are uncomfortable with the wire poking in my breasts. I was pleasantly surprised to find this bra fit me better than any bra I have bought in years. With this perfect fit I do not even feel the underwire. The material is light weight and cool as advertised while providing good support and coverage when worn with clinging fabric like tee shirts. It is now my favorite bra and I bought more. The price makes it a great value.
Pretty on the hanger, but the fit is weird/uncomfortable and quality of manufacturing is very poor.

Bought two Playtex bras from this seller as replacement for a discontinued Playtex bra that I wore for years and years ( Playtex # 4138).This bra (Playtex # 4913) I will be returning for an exchange to a different style because the quality of it is VERY poor, with lots of cheap plastic parts (strap loops and band hooks). It's unevenly sewn together and the seams are off, so there's no way it'll last for repeated washings and wear. But that's NOT a seller problem, that's a Playtex problem! It also fit weird, kind of baggy along the bottom of the cups next to the underwire, like I was wearing a sock instead of a bra. But that's likely a function of the cup style, which is two thin layers of fabric rather than thick molded cups, which I'm used to. As a size DD cup, fit and lift is critical to a comfortable and attractive fit. This won't work for me at all. Too bad because the color and style are very pretty on the hanger.This seller was fairly quick in getting the items to me, and very helpful/responsive when there were weather related shipping delays. Would buy from them again. Meanwhile, I'll be exchanging this for a different style in the hopes that I can find a permanent replacement for my favorite but now discontinued Playtex bra (# 4138).
Nice quality -- Supportive and well made

This is an incredibly comfortable bra and fits true to size with no underwires jabbing on the sides. I bought it for the "cool" factor as I live in Texas, and a wet bra on a hot day is so very uncomfortable. Haven't tested the "cool" factor...it's December. I haven't worn a Playtex bra before and at the price, thought it might be shoddy as I'm used to more expensive brands. The quality is terrific! I've washed it twice in a mesh bag in the washer (and line dried) and it appears to hold it shape well. I find it to be very supportive, and did I mention comfortable? Wish there were more colors available -- I'd buy a bunch of them.
42C Playtex Women's Secrets Breathable Cool Shaping Underwire Full Coverage Bra #4913
Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2020
I ordered a size 42C and even though the label on the back stated that size I couldn't even begin to get it on. It is more like the size of a 34C. It wouldn't come within 6 inches of meeting in the back. When I wanted to return it they charge about $5 for return shipping and also stated the packaging must not be opened. That's ridiculous! The effort is hardly worth it so I'm just going to eat the loss and donate this bra to Goodwill with a note attached with the correct size. I have several 42C bras and they fit fine so this is a manufacturing error by Playtex.
Very comfortable and a good fit at a reasonable price

First, I am the husband of a woman and I picked this brassiere for my wife as she complains about the fit and comfort of brassieres and hasn't had much luck online finding a good fit in brassieres. She was skeptical at first but tried the brassiere and after her first use, informed me that this was the most comfortable brassiere she's EVER worn. For the price compared to more expensive brassieres such as through third love starting at $60ea, I will be purchasing more of these in other colors than black, per her request.
