Womens Wireless T-Shirt Bra, Comfy Support Lightweight Lounge Bra, Convertible Straps

My best bra for many years was made by Vanity Fair. No longer available, I tried Bali, Jockey, Spanx, Honey Love, Lululemon, a bunch of generic brands, and a couple of Hanes bras to try to find comfort and support like my old favorite. What am I looking for? Support with that next to nothing feel. No digging, binding, bunching or uniboob . No pulling the sides down because it rises up in back. No adjusting the bra in private because my ladies pop out the top. This Particular Hanes bra is genius. I’m a 42 DDD and perfectly fit the xxlarge. Many brands don’t even go above extra large. If you are built like me, want support, and do not want padded cups, underwires, bunching material under your armpits, straps that cut into your shoulders, or cross-crosses in a way that would challenge Houdini, a bra that rides up in the back or one that your breasts fall out of in the front (unless you tighten the band so tight that you cut off your circulation) this is the bra to buy. I hope to God that Hanes does not discontinue it. The front snap closure enables me to easily cross-cross the straps in back. The fabric is soft and breathes. The bra gives high enough in the sides so my breasts do not squeeze out into my armpits. The only thing I would change about this bra would be to make the straps more like my old fav- narrow, stretchy fabric, matching the fabric of the bra. My only criticism is that I would make the straps and inch longer to make it easier to cross the straps while wearing it, because the can be adjusted smaller, but it is still extremely comfortable and all bras end up stretching a bit. I will hand wash these and order extras to preserve them, because manufactures so often change their products and discontinue perfectly good models.

First of all, I am 5' 7", 120lbs, and would be wearing a size 36 D bra normally. I wear size L in this brand and style. I could probably get away with XL as well, but M is uncomfortable for me. While I find this bra to provide plenty of support for my day to day, anyone with larger breasts might not. This is the most comfortable all day, everyday bra I have ever found, and I've tried just about all of them. Plus, it's pretty much the only bra I can wear without it causing back pain. Let me explain. I have been dealing with back and shoulder pain for years now, and one of the things I've struggled with is that the bands on most bras feel very painful regardless of size. Of course, something too small will be uncomfortable, but the correct band size and even too large sizes all cause my back to hurt where they make contact with the muscles of my back. They also make me feel as if I can't breath properly. It's very weird. I have been professionally fitted multiple times - which always ended up with me feeling like my time and money have been wasted as I still can't wear whatever sizes and styles they recommend - and I've worked with many physical therapists over the past decade trying to figure it out, but at this point I've given up hope that it'll ever get better. It is what it is. Awhile back I decided to give this bra style a try and, fortunately, found it to be exactly what I needed. Of the ones I've tried, this particular brand and style have been the most comfortable for me. Something about the narrower band, just the right amount of elasticity, and softness of the material means that I can get through a day without the (at times severe) pain that other bras cause. I've also found that the S/M/L/XL etc. sizing, adjustable straps, and back clasps work way better for me than the traditional band numbers and cup sizes. I've ordered several of these bras over the past 8 years. They have held up pretty well considering the fact that I wash them on regular wash and dry them on high heat. In other words, I don't treat them as delicates. So far it's been one of the metal clasps things on the back breaking off or the tab on the front connector for one of the straps snapping off that has caused me to replace the ones I've needed to replace, and that has typically only happened after more than a year of regular use. One more thing I'll mention, though. For some reason, the buff/light pink color is the most comfortable of the ones I've tried while the heather grey is the least comfy.

Two downsides, which other reviewers have mentioned: (1) there’s a clasp, for want of a better word, for holding the bra straps to the front of the bra. It’s a cheap snap-in design that tests basic physics principles. To my surprise, one of the straps has come apart on me only one time. The physics-defying clasp seems to work. Still, one time for a bra suddenly collapsing into a leaning tower of Pisa, is too much. You have to see this clasp to understand what I mean. Nonetheless, I find myself ordering another two bras, so I guess I’m not that disturbed. Truth is, I just can’t find a decent unpadded, wireless bra. (2) The fabric is light and nicely elastic. Overall, it’s quite comfortable. I only hand-wash and hang dry, so I haven’t put the bra through a more vigorous machine washing. However, the fabric pills very easily, a first in my experience for a bra. You end up with a lot of little dark fabric pills all over the bust part of the bra. This bra is not intended for use if you’re going to end up passed out in the hospital or in an unexpected romantic liaison. This is a bra you want to undo yourself, in privacy. OCTOBER 23, 2022: Hanes ... what have you done to my favorite bra? You made a major change in sizing without a word of warning! A Medium, which was perfect for my 36C size, is now more like a size 32A-. The cup is flat and the bra is much smaller, end to end, than it used to be. This was a major change! I bought 3 bras, taking for granted that the size was correct. By the time I used one of these now way-too-small bras, it was too late to return them. I lost over $40! Maybe some kid can use them as a slingshot. I just checked the Hanes Size Guide, and it appears that a 36C is now a Large (used to be Medium). I'm going to order Large, but to be honest, I have little confidence in this new size guide. I'm especially disappointed that I had to lose over $40 for trusting Hanes, but hopefully this review will help someone else! I left the 4 stars because I'm assuming the bra is still as good as it was when I first reviewed it about 3 years ago. OCTOBER 30, 2022: Zounds!! My premonition was on point. Hanes's new size guide is useless. I tried the Large, but it's still way too small. I can't seem to match my size 36C (previously Medium) with any of Hanes's new sizes! I've had to return the 3 size L bras too -- at least this size actually shows a cup. By the way, I've been ordering the white bra. For all we know, different bra color might = different pattern cutter! I've now ordered 3 size XL white bras. I'm annoyed as heck at Hanes for changing the measurements, but I must say I'm intrigued by my suddenly hefty bosom ... X-Large! NOVEMBER 22, 2022 I have finally confirmed that Hanes's old Medium is now X-Large (at least for the white bra)! The cup isn't quite as full/rounded as I'm used to on Hanes wireless unpadded bras, but it's passable. As I mentioned previously, I purchased the white wireless, unpadded bra. Perhaps the wide size deviation has to do with the color. Is the white bra cut much smaller than the beige (nude) bra? Or, has Hanes changed the sizing across all of these bras? I notice as well that there is no longer any pilling on the bra cup, which is a huge improvement.

So comfortable & supportive.

A lovely, comfy bra. Why don't they make more bras like this? No seams, no wires. The sizing is small, medium and large. I ordered medium, which is equivalent to 36B.

Comfortable but not the best for large breasts

Like this comfortable soft bra. Good for sleeping and doesn't eat into skin.

I paid just under $24 for this bra - and it arrived with a tag on it for $13.99 - suggesting we'd all probably do better shopping in person at Walmart or somewhere - at least for this bra. This bra itself is actually really nice. Soft and comfortable with no underwire to dig in - and yet feels supportive too - and it's not ugly like some wire free bras tend to be. Strap adjustments are at the front, so you don't have to take the bra off to adjust ... a nice touch, especially in this price range. The size MEDIUM fit me perfectly (just as the chart said it would) - but that's on the tightest hooks ... so here's hoping it doesn't stretch out with repeated wash/wear, like one of my older Hanes bra has done! Overall, I am pleased with this purchase, and I would buy the bra again. Next time I'll check brick and motar stores before ordering from Amazon at nearly twice the price on the tag.

Comfortable bra however the back keeps going up in the centre where the hook and eye meet. Otherwise it is comfy for home casual use.
