Absolutely the best bra ever!Because I have large breasts (44DD), I have been suffering with bras that had no lift. I am a large elderly woman (5’6” 225lbs) and I seriously thought I was perpetually doomed to breasts hanging to my navel.I went to one store and was measured—they said that I wore an 34B 🙄. Last time I wore that size was more than 50 years ago! So I have spent the past 18 years trying many styles and types from underwire push-ups to finally submitting to sloppy chest warmers (hesitate to label as bras).Then, when I had reached the end of desperation, Hanes had a sale. I picked out about 4 or 5 different bras, one of them being this Playtex 18 Hour Ultimate Shoulder Comfort Wirefree Bra. I requested my daughter’s opinion and this is the one that she ... MoreAbsolutely the best bra ever!Because I have large breasts (44DD), I have been suffering with bras that had no lift.

I requested my daughter’s opinion and this is the one that she picked for me.I haven’t had a bra in almost 2 decades that fits, separates, lefts, and does it all so well.Pretty and flattering and comfortable. I even wear it around the house when I am not going out (almost forget to take off to sleep) because it is comfortable and really makes me feel good.I know there are many other ladies out there with these same “problems” with large breasts. This is the answer! Finally!

I was pleased with all the coverage and at first this bra seemed ok.I was thrilled there was a full coverage bra with padded straps offering a smaller 34 band size in bigger cups.You just can't find this kind of thing.What is up with that??Still I jumped too quickly on this one and purchased 3. I just want underwear, not endless on-line shopping. I was so tired of looking for a wire free that kept me separated. Indeed it does do that but the shape that it gives your breasts is from the 50's. The more I wear these bras, the more I dislike them.The band seems to become more irritating the more I wash them and I am hand washing.

I've worn these bras for many years. They're far more comfortable than wire bras. I especially appreciate the padded shoulder straps. I wear a size H. This bra gives me the comfort and support I need. Hopefully someday I'll be able to get a breast reduction.I usually replace these bras after 3-4 months because the elastic becomes too loose after multiple washings. I always air dry my bras.
