PLAYTEX womens 18 Hour Front Close Wirefree Back Support Posture Full Coverage Bra Use525

I bought this bra. I am old and I wanted to lift the girls back up to where they belong, not have them as belly boobs any more. I love the lift. Makes me look like a girl again and not a bag hag. But... the sizing has to be re-thought. I carefully measured as the instructions told me. It said I was a 40B. OK! That's what I bought. 1 of them. I was spilling over the cups. So I bought 3 more with a C cup. This was great!! The girls looked good. So what if they were tight and cut into me... the girls looked good. After about 3 months of not being able to wear the bras for more than 8 hours at a time I ordered 1 size 42B. I just got it and it feels sooo much better. So, even though the sizing says I am a 40B I am actually not. I am 5'2', weigh 210. Short and chubby. Love the back support. Great bra, really. Just don't believe the sizing.

I was looking for a bra with good support and wide straps over the shoulder for my plus size physic .This bra fits well and was comfortable and supportive. I am very happy with this bra and will buy more in every color they have. This bra is good to wear daily and it's comfortable to sleep in. (I've bought several more bras since my initial review and I still like these bras)I'm 5'9 and 267 bls. I ordered a 42d and it's just slightly sug. That's ok, it will stretch out with normal wear. When writing a review on clothing,I wished more people would input their height and weight. Trust me,its very helpful. Package came on time and with no damage. There was just a couple of things wrong with this bra. First, it smelled absolutely horrible. I can't even explain the smell, but; easily handled when I hand washed it. Second, the description clearly stated that it was a silk like bra, but I received a cloth bra instead. The only reason I'm keeping it is because it does fit and it's hard to find nice fitting bras in my size. If you found this helpful to you, please hit the "helpful" button. Thank you.

I got this and a black one to try because of hand and back arthritis that make back hooks increasingly difficult.The straps are very comfortable and I imagine the bra as a whole would be as well, if I'd ordered 2 band sizes up instead of just 1. But that's on me for not measuring to double check my size. The size I got fits and is usable, it's just a bit tight but as I've lost a bit of weight, its better than previously.My only real complaint is the hooks. The bottom 2 tend to fold under and then rub on my skin and because I have very sensitive skin, it can be very painful. The bra is still very secure if I unhook them, but I've also found that if I put a cotton round between my skin and the hooks, it provides enough padding to protect my skin.I would definitely buy again in the future, but I'd go up to a 42C.

Goal was to buy front closure bras bc I had the hooks digging into my back even if I hook the bra. It's what i do as soon as I get home with my current bra. Right ladies?? I also didn't like how it ride up in the front. Don't want to spend all day adjusting my bra. I'm m not a man, after all. Hahaha LolI ordered 3 different colors bc they were on sale. Rec'd 3 different pkgs in 1 day. Two were in Playtex packaging. One was just in plastic bag. This bra is way too small in width and cup size. Ordered my normal 38d which is usually loose. This bra felt like a compression garment. Very tight and squished boobs. Wish I would have measure myself before & followed the readers suggestion to order larger. The straps were adjustable and they were ok. The bras look well made and the back support is definitely there. Feels like a minimizer bra. Plan to return and try next size.The front closer waa good..not tiny as described. I think this bra will suit my purposes . Note this bra was on sale for 1/2 price, that's why I got 3. The on packaging label said $39 from Playtex. Also there are no tags which is a plus for us sensitive typesRemember: Order the next size up...Runs very small.

Good fit, comfortable bra. I bought another one.

I initially bought a 40D and band was to tight and cup was to big at the very top of the cup, but that's not the bras fault, mine beats have gone wayyyyyy SOUTH and they are NOT coming back! LOL! So I exchanged/returned for a 42C and is a perfect fit! My Dr. wanted me to get the smaller band size because she said a 42 was to big as she could get 2 fingers under the back. But after trying the 40 it was to tight to be wearable as I have Scoliosis and Kyphosis which makes my back have a big jump like the Hunchback of Notre Dame. This was all due to an accident 6 yes ago. But the "posture" part in the back does help my back vs a regular bra and is much more comfortable. I hope this helps someone out there...and one more thing...I have had a few issues with the closures wires either being to tight to hook or to open to stay hooked. So all I did was get out a pair of needle nose pliers and opened or closed slightly and both worked. Tweezers will work also. Have a BLESSED DAY!!

This was my third try at ordering this bra. The size of my bra that I was wearing before I tried to find one with back support is 36B and it fits fairly comfortably. The first time I ordered this particular bra, I ordered 36B. It was way too small so I returned it. Eventually I reordered and this time I ordered 38C. It would have fit better if there were an inch more of fabric in the straps, and it was a bit tight and the bottom clasp irritated my chest. I then ordered a 40C to see how it fit and it is more comfortable and fits a lot better. The bottom clasp still irritates my chest eventually, so I just unhook it when it does. I'm fairly small breasted so I still have enough support that this works. The back support isn't what I was hoping for but I can feel it enough to remind me to stand or sit up straight. I did measure before ordering so I'd order the next size up, from what the chart says. Also. I did return the 38C and am planning to order another 40C.

Well made. Back posture panel is too low to be effective. The straps might even encourage you to push your shoulders up and forward. Whilst I ordered my usual uk size, it is too small with no adjustment possible. No, I haven't returned it. I'm not sure a larger size wouldn't just be as slack as this is tight. I'm wearing it with the top hook undone because the straps do not fall down your arms. So two pros, at least three cons.

I measured myself as instructed but very disappointed that they didn’t fit.

I know my bra size was correct but when it arrived it was extremely tight on the bust and very difficult to hook up. I know it's supposed to help posture, but it was too small and bulging at the front where it does up. I'd hoped that, if it was a good fit, I'd invest in some more. Sadly, I won't be.

One of the best front fastening bras on the market! Bought it for my mum who loved the fit, support and easy to handle front fastener. Repeated purchase of item.

It didn’t fit
