PLAYTEXWomen's Love My Curves Original Balconette Underwire Full Coverage Bra

Love this bra it fits perfectly and very well made and good price. Just the right amount of padding. It is very comfortable for an underwire

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!

I saw, in the reviews, an image of a woman lying down with her girls still at attention. That got my attention! I’ve tried for years to find a bra that would protect my shape while I sleep. Not crushing one under my armpit or having them flop out the top would be more comfortable, too! This is the sleep bra of my dreams. I don’t feel quite supported enough in the daytime, but maybe that’s just because I’m used to push-up bras. My girls look supported in the mirror, and probably more work-appropriate, as well! I didn’t expect that from Playtex. Their “cross my heart” shape bra, with or without comfort straps, always left me hanging! I even sized down a cup in the comfort strap bra, and the band was WAY too tight. I normally wear a 38DD, but was down to a 40C in the comfort strap bra and it still didn’t hold me up on the 4th try, though it was otherwise comfortable. Because of experience and reviews, I ordered down a cup size and up a band size (40D). Now I have a little cup overflow and the straps are way out to my shoulders, and slip off all day. It’s still a great bra, though! Next time I will order my usual size, 38DD. From now on, I’m trying my usual size first! Then I’ll work my way up or down, if I have to. If you are looking for full coverage and support while you sleep, buy this bra! If you have nursed children and want to turn back time, get this bra! I don’t feel like I added a cup size but I don’t need to, to get the uplift I need with this style. It’s all me…looking well-proportioned like when I was in my early 20s! Double that to get my actual age. No uniboob, no minimizing, no, “Hi, meet my breasts!” I’m impressed!Edit: 2nd day wearing, and the straps have stretched so long there’s no support, but I did expect that and it’s an easy fix.

When I got this bra and put it on I was in love and ordered one in tan, white and black. At a 36 DD bras are often uncomfortable and the underwire can dig into my rib cage. This bra gives my tired girls nice support and a beautiful profile under my t shirt. It’s my favorite new bra. It doesn’t dig into my underarm and the smooth fabric is perfect under t shirts. Great bra at a very good price. I paid 25$ I think and the tags it came with says it retails for 44$. I recommend!!

It has taken some trial and error to figure out this bra, but I like it now that I've figured out what's best for me.First I ordered my usual size of 38D. The band was tight even on the biggest setting of closure options, but it was a good fit elsewhere and I felt like it would be comfortable if I could get the band size right. So I ordered the 40D to try. The band felt better but the cups arrived in a deeply grooved condition which I was unable to remove, it's very noticeable under my shirt so I didn't try to wear it. I remembered that I had a band extender in my drawer so I decided to try the 38D again with an extender and that is working well. The 38D has some wrinkles also, but they aren't nearly so prominent and are more on the upper part of the cup and not that noticeable.I did remove stars for the wrinkled grooves that these come with. That is disappointing and could be fixed with some care on their part.Personally, I find bras to be torturous in general due to nerve pain I have. This bra is fairly comfortable even to me, so I can see why so many people like this style.

This is the best bra Ive found. The band is strong and stays in place. Very comfortable and secure. Smoothing, very supportive and nice shape. For best fit, make sure to know how to measure for correct bra size. I was falling out the sides when i gained weight and had to increase cup size. You will love this bra. It will be the best one you have.

Love the bra, 40D fit great. The only problem was wish I got the black pokodate instead of the cream. Kept because it's so hard to find that style and size.
