I ordered the same style and size that I have bought from Playtex for years. The material was cheap and the sizing was way off. I ordered two bras and both were the same. The straps were so short I could barely get my arms in them. Not the bra I have gotten in the past. I will never order Playtex again. Unfortunately, because I have always ordered this before and was always satisfied, I threw away the packaging and receipt. Lesson learned. They are definitely Not making them with the same quality as in the past. Don’t waste your money!

Playtex bras are quality products. They are sturdy and well made. This style of bra is perfect for me except for the trim on them, which is very scratchy for me. I've even gotten rashes from the trim. When i purchased this bra, I didn't notice that trim was on this bra, so I will be returning the product. Fortunately for me, Playtex also offers a bra without this type of trim and I just now purchased two. Playtex, you have a loyal customer in me. I always buy your brand of bras...just not with this trim.

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 ...

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 have never hated a bra as much as I hate this one! The hooks are a pain to try to connect. It’s easier to just pull it on over my head. While the straps are pretty comfortable, they SQUEAK!! If I move my shoulder or shrug, they squeak. I measured my body to order the correct size because I wanted to be comfortable during a wedding but this is very tight with no options, and the cups fold and make it seem like I have a LEGO block in each one. I even pulled liners from another bra to try to smooth the cups out but that only helps a tiny bit. They actually look lined in the photo but this thin fabric shows the 2 bumps - embarrassing. I meant to return this thing but forgot…
Aloha! At my age of early 60, I have tried and tried and tried bras unsuccessfully in the most highly recommended brands for my size.I literally gave up. I have never written a review before. My husband in our 42 years marriage has never, ever complimented the way my,”girls”, have looked in my clothes until NOW! This bra is absolutely the most comfortable, shapely, true to size, sexy and 18 plus hour long bra ever!!! I speak truth! I bought 7,(4 nude and 3 black). I believe that sharing is caring and knowledge is power. Empower yourself!Mahalo for reading!🌺✊🏼💪🏼
I’ve known about 18 hour bras for 50 years but never bought one because I thought I needed the support of an underwire. Now that I’m more “mature” I’m more concerned with comfort than anything else. After reading reviews, I purchased a size larger band size and a size smaller cup than I normally wear. The bra is comfortable but the band size was still too small. Luckily I had some bra extenders but even after adding them the band is still a bit tight. I normally wear a 38 DDD and purchased a 40 DD. Additionally, the sides give very little support. I would have to tighten the back at least 2 rows of hooks to get sufficient side boob support and then the bra would be uncomfortable. I would recommend the bra but I would caution you to size up.
As I aged, the bra I had been wearing didn’t work for me anymore. None of the other bras I tried gave the support I needed. I finally remembered that Playtex was the first brand I ever wore so I decided to give it a try again. I am so pleased I did. The search is over! It has the support, comfortable padded straps, is great comfort on the sides and FOUR hooks at the back! I couldn’t be happier with the purchase. I bought three more because my size isn’t easy to find. My posture is better and I forget I have it on. I slept in it one night.
Overall am very pleased with both the fit and look of this bra. The main complaints that I have about this bra are; the Shoulder straps seem to dig in just a little for me the bottom of the band tends to roll up over the course of a day and lastly the band size appears to run a little small. On the positive side this bra provides unparalleled support and containment for a soft cup bra. The band breathes well and has a pretty floral pattern. The shoulder straps are reasonably comfortable over the course of a full day. I love the nice selection of colors; Signature Berry, Rose and Zen Blue are my personal favorites

I wear a 38DDD. it is SO hard finding a comfortable, supportive, non padded, non underwire bra at an affordable price. I was so excited when I saw the great price on these bras! i ordered 3 of the beautiful colors and LOVE them!! wonderful support, wide band to reduce back and side bulge. and the wide padded shoulder straps make such a difference! I no longer have shoulder pain after a day of work! you dont get the " uniboob" look either! I definitely recommend these bras! I will be ordering the other colors as well!
