Comfort

Pros:

  • "Says they are soft and very comfortable. In fact, she has asked for more. She also says they fit just right for her, so has no complaints."
  • "These are so comfortable and soft, I love them."
  • "Very comfortable and looks good under clothes."
  • "They are soft and comfortable just as I hoped."
  • "These are very comfortable with a real soft cotton."
  • "They are comfortable, and look good, especially under clothes."
  • "I needed new bras for work. They are very comfortable not too tight for my size and I walk around, bend over, lift heavy objects so I sweat and need to be comfortable."

Cons:

  • "The fabric-especially the stitching, is SO FRICKING ITCHY!!"
  • "Also the description says it is primarily made of cotton but it does not feel like good quality cotton - it feels like a cheap rough cotton T-shirt, so abrasive."
  • "Band was too tight and bra showed under a lot of shirts I had."
  • "The width on the sides from ribs to armpit is too long for me I chaffed while jogging."
  • "The bras are probably fine if you dont mind things in your armpit... they go about an inch higher that they need around the armpit and become uncomfortable and annoying."
  • "The seams are very scratchy and give the overall feeling of a bra that is not soft and comfy."
  • "The material is incredibly thin and not super soft as I was hoping for."

Fit and Sizing

Pros:

  • "They fit great, look great, and it almost doesn't feel like I'm wearing one."
  • "Measured as 35 so according to bra sizing for that would be a 40 so ordered the 40. It for perfect."
  • "But once I tried them on, they were a perfect fit and almost identical to my older version."
  • "I ordered mine an my granddaughters right size an was scared they wouldn't fit. I was wrong. They fit better."
  • "I'm large chested 44DD+ in 'regular bras'. The 44 size is perfect & honestly holds up the heavy girls about as well as a $30 Bali underwrite bra."
  • "These bras fit perfectly. Soft to the touch but supportive for the girls."
  • "They fit perfect, and they feel perfect. Not too tight, and not too loose. But they stay put."

Cons:

  • "I am glad I went to a 40, but this bra offers absolutely no support of any kind and barely counts for coverage."
  • "I am a size 40 and have been for a long time. So I ordered that size seeing reviews saying true to size. They are NOT true to size."
  • "I was excited to receive these bras, but although l ordered the correct size, they were far too small."
  • "So I really did goof on these. I bought the wrong size, probably because the size chart is difficult to understand."
  • "I ordered a large according to the size chart and it fits well, other that the straps being too short, or the band too loose."
  • "These run short. If you have a large bust, you may find that the the armholes are uncomfortably high."
  • "Numerical sizes are not okay for this garment. It is not a bra. So...I ordered 36 as my bra size. It is too small."

Support

Pros:

  • "This bra lifts the girls up and makes me feel younger."
  • "The product itself is good, and is the best solution, to this point, after a mastectomy."
  • "If you are looking for medium support or something to wear over your own bra as a “bralett” under see thru summer sweaters or shirts this is perfect!"
  • "Light support makes the bra have great comfort. I wear it with T-shirts for brisk walks."
  • "I ordered these sport bras because I needed something that was more cotton than spandex."
  • "I am done with underwire and hard cups! I ordered these strictly for comfort."
  • "These are perfect in that they offer enough support, but not to the point where you feel like it's a fitted sports bra."

Cons:

  • "These bras are very comfortable , but I would not dare walk out of the house. It really flattens my boobs and makes me look like I have one."
  • "I've worn these bras for decades... There is a bit of a 'uniboob' effect."
  • "No, they don't have much support, if any, and they aren't sexy whatsoever!"
  • "These are very comfortable but not really a “sports” bra."
  • "I am a large busted woman and although I didn't expect much support, there is hardly any."
  • "If you are looking for a sports bra that’s flattering and offers support this is not the one for you."
  • "Don’t get this thinking it’s a good sports bra you can wear working out. It offers no support and makes your rack look like one undefined roll."

Material Quality

Pros:

  • "They absorb sweat well and breathe well."
  • "They are made well, they don't fall apart."
  • "Made of substantial stretchy cotton jersey material."
  • "I love the cotton fabric! I love the fact there is no underwire! I use them 24/7!"
  • "I love the cotton material. I like how they don't get ruined in the wash machine and still keep their shape."
  • "Made of soft cotton with cotton lining in the front, this top keeps my girls breathing comfortably all day long."
  • "They are comfortable and that is really important. Good quality and after many, many washings have kept their shape and elasticity."

Cons:

  • "I bought these and washed them before I used them. I washed them on cold and dried on low, and they shrunk by about 50%, so they’re not unusable now."
  • "Next time I forgot to pull them out. They all got dried in the dryer. Two of the colors shrunk."
  • "Lots of raw threads every time they're washed that must be trimmed."
  • "If they were more expensive, I would complain that the elastic wears out fast."
  • "The fabric has gotten extremely thin over the 8 years i've bought these, time to move on and find something else."
  • "These sports bras are just okay. They shrunk so much the first time I washed them that they’re very uncomfortable to wear now."
  • "Only complaint is the fabric is thinner than the older ones I have."
