PLAYTEX Women's Secrets Underwire Full-coverage Balconette T-Shirt Bra for Full Figures

I definitely needed some new bras when my old ones were so stretched out in the straps that they wouldn't hold me up well enough no matter how much I tightened them. I used to buy expensive bras but I wanted to look for less expensive options that are still good quality. I've seen Playtex bras in the stores for many years and figured I would check them out. I tried out a different Playtex bra which I didn't like as much so I decided to try this one. I love it so much I ended up purchasing seven of them in different colors!This Playtex bra is exactly the bra I wanted! It is a balconette style, which is perfect if you have shirts that might dip down a bit so you shouldn't have to worry about showing off the bra cups. It has underwire that helps to keep the girls in place and so far, it feels very comfortable. I haven't had any problems with it popping out. The straps and cups are lightly padded, which is just what I wanted. I don't like bras that are heavily padded because I am a 36D and I don't need to add any more bulk on top. It has a triple-hook closure with three hooks for each of the three sizes for a total of nine hooks. The straps are adjustable and the back of the bra seems very breathable and looks like it is made of mesh. This bra is made of a mixture of nylon, spandex, polyester, cotton, and polyurethane foam. Washing instructions say to hand wash cold and line dry. I always throw hand wash items in a lingerie bag in the washing machine, line dry them and I've never had a problem. I've washed these bras a number of times like this and they still are in great condition. These bras are made in Indonesia.As I said, I initially purchased one of these bras and loved it so much, I ordered a total of six more! I have nude, nude jacquard, gentle peach rose jacquard, two mother-of-pearl jacquard, and two black jacquard. I love the print on the latter two colors because it looks like flower petals to me. I love to have black bras for wearing under darker shirts but I also like the light-colored bras for wearing under lighter-colored shirts. I especially love the mother-of-pearl color because it's more of an ivory or bone color and is softer than white but lighter than nude. I loved it so much I bought two of that color!I find these bras very comfortable to wear all day. The underwire is very comfortable and hasn't bothered me at all but I will update this review if that changes. The material is soft and comfortable and supports me well so I don't feel droopy. My old bras had lost their elasticity and I looked like I was sagging but now, I'm perkier and feel more comfortable too. I've always been a 36D and I purchased 36D in these bras which fit perfectly so I feel these bras fit true to size.I love these bras and am glad I finally decided to purchase some new ones! They are comfortable, come in a variety of colors and prints, and are affordable so you can replace all of your old bras if you need to, which is what I did. As long as these bras hold up for a reasonable amount of time, I will continue to purchase them. I will update this review if anything happens to alter my opinion. If you like the lightly-padded, balconette style and don't feel like going to a store to try them on, I highly recommend this bra and to order your regular size!

She must like these cause she ordered another one after she got the first one so I guess I would recommend it.

Was very skeptical ordering bra online but this looked promising. It arrived quickly and the fit was good. I had ordered up a band size due to my old bras feeling a big snug after a few pounds of weight gain but I didn’t need to. Feels good first time wearing. The coverage is great. I usually wear a VS 38 DDD but ordered a 40 DDD with this. Still works using the smallest hook row. I reordered today another color and went back to the 38 DDD. Anxious to see how that works.Great value at the price I bought which shows at 57% off.May order a 3rd as well.If you’re on the fence I’d say go for it.It’s a full coverage and lightly padded which I like. I have one breast slightly larger than the other so it works for me.

Fits well no complaints

This bra can stand up on it's own it's so molded and structured. I kept one only because I wore it and didn't think it was fair to return. I returned the others. It has some support for sure but it's not particularly comfortable on and doesn't give a natural looking flattering silhouette at all if that's what you're looking for.

It has taken me a long time to find a bra that fits the way I like - including shopping at the store - but this one fits. The band holds nicely against the ribcage and offers real support for larger-chested women. It seems that if you have a larger chest you have to spend an insane amount of money to find a quality bra but that's not the case here. I don't expect it to last for a year given the price but it's extremely affordably priced so I can buy as many as I need. It has thick, supportive cups and a wide band that won't force the straps to do the work. A lot of cheaper bras that come in larger sizes are really flimsy and leave you feeling like your bra is just barely holding on. Also I find that in addition to giving you the coverage and support you need it has little extras like patterns or lace to make you feel pretty. Its both functional and flattering. I am definitely pleased with this bra. The only issue you may have is needing to try a couple sizes. Like a lot of women I can wear a few different sizes depending on the shape of the cups, etc. With this one If I wear my regular size there is an unsightly gap at the top. If you are like me and are more full at the bottom of the breast then keep your band size and go down a cup size so the bra will fit top to bottom. Other than that I would recommend this.

I’m super happy with this bra and have now ordered three, all exactly the same, in black, from Amazon because of the great price (which you do have to watch out for). Trying to find a decent fitting bra is near to impossible for ladies with a bigger bust like me, no matter where I get measured or what websites I follow to obtain the most accurate measurement. Following brand’s size charts doesn’t work for me either as they usually never fit as intended when you get them. They can flatten out the bust, cut it in half giving you 4 boobs or cut into the armpits which is very uncomfortable. I purchased this bra in a 36DDD (a size quite often hard to find in itself) and im pleased to report that it actually fits so well. I feel properly supported all day long, it has substantial yet comfortable straps and it gives me a nice shape under clothes. The appliqué detail is not too much that it shows through tight t shirts and the satin isn’t too shiny either. It’s more like a semi matte satin. This looks like an expensive bra and I’m really happy to get a hold of it several times on amazon. I may even buy more.
