PLAYTEXWomen's 18 Hour 4695 Front-Close Wireless Bra with Flex Back, Full Coverage Bra, Cushioned Straps

I was skeptical about ordering on line but the stores do not carry bigger sizes. I ordered this one because of the way the back is designed and having the front closure. I wore it the first day and it felt comfortable and didn’t buckle in the front or the straps didn’t keep falling down. I finally found a great bra that doesn’t hurt to wear it, I will be ordering more for sure

I can never go wrong with Platex. The brand has always worked for me. Through my size ups and downs, it gives me the support and comfort I want. So I bought 3. Worn 2 so far. No disappointments. Good fabric. Wide straps are strong. No underwire. Good lift. Will buy 2-3 more soon.

very tight on first hook, not full coverage

fits well washes well great product for anyone who dislikes twisting bra around to fasten

This is an update to my December 8th review when I rated the bra at two stars. I never did wear this bra out of the house, but I was determined to have it fit properly so that I could comfortably wear it outside of the house. I purchased a pack of the 6 hook bra extenders. The use of 1 extender was not successful in adding enough room to connect the front of the bra properly! When I used 2 bra extenders, the fit was what I had been hoping for from the time I ordered it -- a front closure with a firm fit. However, there was still the issue of hooking the bra while still trying to keep the lace that covered the line of hooks, free from damage while manipulating each set of hooks for proper, and successful closure. The first three hooks, beginning from the bottom, were hooking successfully. In trying to hook the fourth hook, the third hook unhooked itself and continued to do so every time I hooked the ones above it. I switched to hooking them from the top, but the success of that technique was dismal, because the hooks, both above and below unhooked themselves. The entire incident was a lesson for me in ordering underwear online -- unless it's the very design and size I have ordered no more than 6-9 months before, I need to skip it in favor of trying it on in a store that carries the item, which would allow me to know before I leave the store the design, size and firmness of the item I'm shopping for.Review I wrote in early December: Historically, I've purchased this bra a number of times, but at the time it was an underwire. I measured to assure I was going to have a correct size. I wanted a bra that would give me independence from relying on my husband to hook my bra in the back. Unfortunately, I have a major issue that prevents me from hooking my bra in the front also. I'm very disappointed to find that this bra won't allow me to put it on and hook it closed. I have arthritic hands, and my hands have weakened with age. I was able to loosen the straps to give me more room. I used a four hook bra extender I had on hand, and that wasn't able to do the job. I have on order a six hook extender and I hope that will allow me to manage getting the bra on. For all of you thinking about purchasing this bra, it's important to know why this bra may not be satisfactory for some women. In order to describe how the bra is made to avoid relying an underwire it has higher sides and a taller back for extra side and back support, fuller cups and wide straps. Plus, a criss cross flex elastic back that adjusts for an all day custom fit. In order to make the bra more attractive, there is a pattern on the front of the bra, and lace has been added. The major issue with the lace is that it is added up and down the six hook closure, and it lays over the hooks to hide that they are there. I can not move the hooks that need to close the bra together. There's too much resistance so that without the full use of my hands , the bra'sconstruction fails me. Having to move the lace out of the way in order to get to the line of hooks is impossible with the condition of my hands. I'm not able to pull the front of the bra . The criss cross elastic design that creates the flex support in the back is, simply too stiff. Additionally, the lace just won't stay clear of the the hooks for me to get them hooked. Having said all of that, for the great majority of women, this bra might be the one of choice. We all are different.SEE UPDATE --> One star review update: 01/05/2022

I needed new bras post-bypass surgery. Bras that fit, were easy to put on and fastened in front. I first ordered my old size, 44C. Bra was comfortable, band fit, but cup was huge. Tried again with a 44 B. Once again was comfortable, band fit, but cup size was still too large. Would have tried with an A cup, but apparently they don't stock or make those. I am 77 yrs old and the old girls aren't what they use to be. But a B cup should have fit. I don't want a bra i have to stuff with tissues to smooth out the wrinkles! If you're not post-menopausal this bra should work well for you. Older gals beware.

i like this bra . I can hardy fasten a regular bra. so the front closure was what i needed. I needed a size up. It fits well. well made.

I love these bras... The clasps that are on the front are excellent nice and tough...Comfortable comfortable bra... I bought three more after I bought one

Such excellant support for my back and beasts. Excellant product, comfy and strong material. Really pleased

Tiene buen soporte y es lo que ofrece

Me gusto mucho, pocos brassiers se abrochan por delante, los tirantes son gruesos y no lastiman bien terminado buena marca

Fits well and as advertised.

I returned this product. Although I ordered my correct size, it was a terrible fit. It's almost misshapened. Not recommended.
