Comfortable bra!
Needed a front closure, soft and stretchy, wire free, inexpensive bra after shoulder injury so these were purchased solely for ease of dressing and comfort until I regain full use of my shoulder and arm. They are very soft and well made and probably the most comfortable bra I’ve ever worn. The hook and eye closure stays shut and was easy to use. However, they do not really support or shape so I would not wear them under a sweater or tee shirt after I can wear a regular bra again. I would still wear them under a sweatshirt or other loose fitting top because they are so soft and comfortable. Another friend who had breast surgery (lumpectomy) also purchased these and although healed, she has continued to wear them. They wash well and did not seem to shrink when washed in cold and dried on lowest setting. I did size up and fit was perfect.

Comfortable cotton bra
Very nice bra, it lifts in the right area, fit is good. The snaps work well. Good for after breast treatments. I did buy one size up. I sometimes just pull over my head. Good value. Highly recommend.

Good quality
Mostly I'm surprised by how comfortable this item is. Pretty easy to get hooked together, though might be more problematic for older folks. Seems like good quality except for 1 minor issue. The bottom hook and eye closure is uncomfortable and digs in to the skin. All 3 of them have the same issue. I can tell that they have tried to fix the issue by seeing a piece of fabric over the area. It almost fixes the problem but over a couple hours it becomes more and more noticeable. I found I could solve the problem for myself by keeping the bottom closure unhooked. Doesnt show and there are enough other hook and eyes that it doesnt cause any other issues. Other than that, it provides good support, is comfortable, and seems good quality. I'm happy with the purchase and would buy again

Amazing alternative to surgical bra post-mastectomy
I had a bilateral mastectomy and the hospital sent me home in a surgical compression bra. Once my incisions were healed and the sutures were gone, I was given permission to switch to a less restrictive, more comfortable option.These came highly recommended by an individual in a Facebook support group and she was not wrong. These are so soft and comfortable, like slipping into your favorite worn, cozy t-shirt. They don't irritate surgical incision sites or compress too tightly, they just provide minimal support that you need in the early stages.They also fasten in the front, which is essential, as for some time post surgery, reaching around to back close bras is either very difficult to impossible and potentially painful. They do have several clasps in the front that are easy to fasten; I've since graduated to bras that zip up in the front (for speed and convenience). I'm not sure it would be possible as the bra might not close properly, but I'd prefer fewer clasps in the front.Anyway, while I've healed enough to move on to more supportive/compressive options; I still wear these as they are amazingly comfortable and comforting. I just don't care for doing up all the hooks on a daily basis.

Very comfortable - Feels like a cotton t-shirt, but no support; may make saggy breasts WORSE!
I have saggy, mom boobs, so if anyone can relate, I hope this review might help you!Upon considering breast surgery, I was told I would need a few good front-closure sports bras. Before then, I didn't even know such bra existed (sheltered, I know).I bought 5 front-closure sports bras and want to compare / contrast them so you don't have to buy so many to find which one (or ones) you want. If it helps, here are my opinions (and I didn't get any of these for free of discounted, by the way - paid full price!):1.) Fruit of the Loom Clasp-front Bra (This Bra) With SIX clasps, this all-cotton bra seems sturdy, but provides little to no support. It's very comfortable like at-shirt and feels much more like a sleep bra than anything you can actively wear during the day if you want your breasts to not sag. It's not padded, just lined with a white cotton liner fabric. With my d-cup breasts, I wouldn't wear it for exercise of any kind, even if doubled up. Best left in the bedroom.2.) Carol Martin Full Freedom clasp-front bra ( Carole Martin Full-Freedom Comfort Bra -36 Black ) which is more of a sleep bra than a sports bra but with a 4.3 stars out of 2,000 reviews, I bought it anyway. Wins the award for the most comfortable, forget you're wearing a bra! But it has zero support and although the lace flap covering the claps is a pretty touch, it does make it a little difficult to hook all 5 hooks with the lace in the way. That being said, it's so stinkin' comfortable, I don't care about the lace problem : I have worn this bra to bed every single night since I received it!3.) Jockey Zip-front bra ( Jockey Women's Zip Front Seam Free Bra, Deep Black Space Dye, Large ) Padded inserts for flattering shape, this bra WOULD have been my favorite of them all because of the no-pinch cloth flap under the zipper, coupled with the silver hook half way up the zipper, which is a HUGE help in trying to zip this by yourself, BUT I found the non-locking zipper to be a pretty major setback! As in, the zipper comes down by itself! I alleviated the problem by wearing another bra under this one and that seemed to reduce the strain enough so that the zipper stays put.4.) Wanayou Zip-front Bra ( Women's Zip Front Sports Bra Wireless High Impact Active Yoga Sports Bras (XL:Fit 34D,36B,36C,38A,38B,38C, Purple) ) claiming to be for "post-surgery" I got the purple one but it is more of a "crayola" true purple than the mauve-purple shown in the seller's pics. I like the zipper covers on the top and bottom which are great for comfort, but a little lumpy-looking under a shirt. The pad inserts are nice to give a little shape and the zipper is amazing for reducing the dreaded uniboob! It is also one of the best for support, but I would still say only low to medium impact for smaller cupped women. As a D-cup, I wear this bra either doubled up with another bra or with a Boobuddy ( Boobuddy Adjustable Breast Support Band Sports Bra Alternative, Pink ).5.) AM Clothes zip-front bra ( Womens Racerback Wirefree Sports Bra, 34C/34D/36A/36B/36C, Rose Red ) - Anyway, this bra is so similar to the Wanayou zip-front bra, that I had to check the packaging to differentiate. Much of the same applies: It has nice zipper covers on the top and bottom for comfort, but a little lumpy-looking under a shirt. It has pad inserts for shape and the zipper reduces the dreaded uniboob! It is also one of the best for support, but I would still say only low to medium impact for smaller cupped women. As a D-cup, I wear this bra either doubled up with another bra or with a Boobuddy.I am also including pics of the bra closed and partially opened, so you can see how much it actually pulls my breast together and it might give you an idea of the strength / support, I hope. Anyway, since shopping for bras when you have "mom boobs" is a tough decision, I hope this review helped!************ UPDATE January 2019 *********************I feel differently about this bra now. I used to use it during sleep, but it is so difficult to close with seemingly a million clasps but worst of all, the bottom clasp is not low enough so there is a cloth flap on both sides that becomes itchy and annoying when wearing for longer than a few minutes. Now, it's a sleep bra of last resort, and then only if I put something (cloth, etc.) between it ans my skin. Bummer.

Good option for exercising after breast surgery
It's hard to find a good sports bra with a front closure, let alone one that will work after breast surgery. I was thrilled to find this 2-pack at such a reasonable cost. The fabric is soft and doesn't irritate sensitive skin. At first I found it annoying to open and close all the little hook & loop closures at the front of this, but it's actually very easy (may not be for someone without good fine motor control) and keeps the bra secure. I would call this a moderate but not high impact bra. If you have larger than a C cup, you may need stronger support for higher impact exercise like running or aerobics, but this would work well for low impact like yoga and weight lifting. I'm a B cup and this works well for all exercise including high impact.

Great fit
I love the fit it is true to size. The material is soft but gives plenty of support. The price is amazing. Takes awhile for delivery but worth the wait.

Bastante cómodos
Son de algodón y son cómodos en general. Los compré para su uso post-cirugía y tener mejor acceso a las curaciones. Ahora son mis favoritos, Ya no pienso volver a usar sostenes ajustados y mucho menos de varilla, por lo que volveré a comprar de este tipo.

Bastante Comodos
Son un excelente producto para estar en casa en mi opinión. Soy talla 38DD y compre la talla 40, del busto me quedaron super bien pero soy algo delgada de la espalda y costillas y por ende de esta zona los siento más holgados y sin soporte general, recomiendo que si tienes solo el busto grande compres una o dos tallas menos a lo indicado en la tabla de tallas.

Well made, fits, and is comfortable
Really! The price, comfort and fit of these is great. I wear a larger size because I am plus size. I have had no luck finding comfortable bras locally. And when I do they discontinue them. Plus they cost a lot more. These wash up well, lasted a year before showing any signs of wear, a cost practically nothing in comparison to fancy, name brand sports bras. I ordered a few of these - in different colours - last year and then again this year. Apparently white is my go to colour because the white ones show the most wear. After wearing them every day - for a year! After a year the elastic band around had stretched a bit and they arent white white any more. But I wash all my workout clothes - mostly black - together. Including these bras. I ordered pink and grey this time. I highly recommend them and for the price - why not? After a month or two come back and order a few more. All sizes are not always available and prices fluctuate.

Comfy cotton bras
The media could not be loaded. These bras are so wonderful! I’ve been wanting cotton ones for years and finally found these great ones. They’re 95% cotton, 5% spandex. I always sweat underneath with man-made bras and get so uncomfortable but these are lovely and I stay dry & comfy. Particularly after a shower these are so much better than my usual ones (back clasp or pull-on). Being front eyelet/hook attachment they are a breeze to put on, no more straining or twisting shoulders and arms. Really love these and so glad I found them. Such value for money too when you get them as a pack of three. I got black, grey and white and they’re lovely colours and such high quality (removable padding in the black one which can be used on the other two if/when needed). Well done Fruit of the Loom, great product!
