Better For Smaller Bust, Petite Women
I'm 5'4" with a 38" bust. I was looking for a bra I could wear with wider necked tops without the straps showing. The straps are set wide and are narrow, but they are short. I had to adjust them to their full length. The cups were too small for my C-sized breasts, forcing them together while allowing the flesh on the side to pooch slightly. The band was also tight, though I hooked it to the loosest eyes. Overall, this just didn't fit me right. If you are shorter than me, with a B cup size this would be a comfortable bra.

One of the most comfortable bras I've had in a long time
I do not like underwire bras, I've had too many poke through the fabric channels and become painful to wear. Finding a wire-free bra that gives decent support isn't easy though. Age and breastfeeding a baby years ago, have taken their toll and things have started to move south (if you get my drift).For awhile, I tried sports bras that, while a little more comfortable, did not provide the kind of support I wanted for day-long wear. These were also not very flattering, accentuating my 'continental drift' to the southern hemisphere.I spent a long time reviewing the many options I found on Amazon, I wanted to buy online as its gotten more difficult to try on clothing in dressing rooms at stores after the pandemic. I did try to shop on Amazon's 'Try before you Buy' feature but it was confusing and didn't seem to be working; so I bought them outright confident about Amazon's returns policy. When I bought this bra, I also bought a 2-pack of Amazon Essentials that were awful - I returned them immediately and bought two more of these.Other than the skinny straps that I'm not used to, having worn sports bras for awhile, this bra is pretty comfortable and fits my cup size perfectly - no wrinkles or puffy bulges - the cups contour very smoothly looking good under a form fitting sweater. Best of all, the straps stay firmly on my shoulders without slipping or creeping down my arms like many other bras I've tried - I hate wearing a short sleeved or sleeveless top with a bra strap showing on my lower shoulders. That said, there are a few features that could improve them.1. They say that the straps are convertible to cross your back on this style but I have not been able to figure out how to detach the straps to do so (no instructions of course).2. I was hoping to find a bra that was at least a high percentage of cotton fiber content as I prefer natural fibers. These are Nylon, Polyester, and Spandex but I guess that does contribute to the nice fit.3. Years back, I had a couple of bras with front clip closures I loved which made them a breeze to put on (unfortunately they had wires that poked through pretty rapidly), this bra has hooks on the back requiring a bit more work to put it on.Regardless of the things that could improve the product in my opinion, I really do like this bra, find it pretty comfortable, and better than many I've tried.

This is comfy and no wires
I liked just about everything about this bra, the only thing I would to see is a front closing bra for those of us with mobility and RA issues.

very comfy and gives you a great support
I like the way this bra doesn't have any pads which is what I am looking for in a bra and it also gives you great support. I like it overall! I recommend to do handwash!

Okay for sleep, but not much else
Like many people during this pandemic, I was hunting for a bra to wear while being comfortable at home in sweatpants, but still presentable enough to answer the door or run out to the mailbox. This bra is not it. It's a sleep bra at most, and I wish the other reviews had made this clear because it would have saved me some time. Let me help you:FABRIC: It's a 2-ply stretch knit. There is no pad, foam layer, or lining. Just 2 layers of Spanx-type fabric. In my experience, this type of knit stretches out quite easily over time.SUPPORT: None. This bra makes your chest look like it's down around your waist. It's unflattering. There is no control of bounce or jiggle. If you have any curves, this bra will not keep them in place, and in fact, it makes you look saggier than you really are.NIPPLE: This bra does nothing to control prominent nipples. It's just like wearing an unlined swimsuit. I saw one (wrong) review that claimed there was a lining or padding. NO! There isn't any lining at all. This is not the type of bra I'd be comfortable wearing to run to the grocery store, answer the doorbell, or talk to neighbors.COMFORT: Fairly comfortable in the cup and band, mostly because it's like wearing nothing. But the straps are very short, even when fully extended, so there is no legitimate way to criss cross them as claimed in the product images. I do not normally have a problem with strap length, so this strikes me as very poor design. If you look at my attached photos, you can see how deeply the strap digs into my shoulder, fully extended.SIZING: I'm a full 36DD, and bought the Large and XLarge for comparison. Both are wearable due to the extreme stretch knit, but the XLarge is the right size because it covers more of the breast. However, because of the unstructured nature of this bra, there is considerable underarm bulge.VERDICT: Maybe okay if you just need something for sleeping, but even then, I would not recommend it if you have to be around roommates, houseguests, dorm mates, etc. It's just too saggy and ugly.I hope this helps someone----I scoured Amazon for dozens of wirefree styles, and read hundreds of unhelpful or non-specific reviews. Bra shopping is very hard---it's my personal mission to make Amazon better one review at a time. So if you are a 36DD like me, or are similarly well-endowed, you are unlikely to truly love this bra unless you don't care about looks, jiggle, nipple concealment, or lift. If anyone is interested, I ordered 5 wirefree styles this week, and the other 4 I tried were:Hanes Cotton Boyfriend Wirefee: Terrible. Cheap, hard elastic band like men's boxers. Stiff cups.Hanes Comfort Evolution Wirefree: Good support, lift, and bounce control. But frumpy, with excessive cup coverage. Top edge of cup very visible under scoop neck shirts.Hanes Smoothtec Wirefree: Very comfortable, but no bounce or nipple control. Very wide band that rolls up if you have a soft midsection.Warner's Blissful Benefits No Bulge Wirefree: Matronly, but makes you look 5 lbs thinner because it scoops up side boob.

Too small. Just the type of bra I was looking for but sizeing chart a little off for this one. So buy next size up. Will buy again in next size.

Better than expected
THIS IS THE FIRST SPORTS BRA THAT I LIKE! I LOVE THE FEEL, THE LIGHTNESS, AND MY BREASTS DIDN'T POP OUT. IT WAS SMOOTH UNDER MY CLOTHES. IT'S SO COMFORTABLE THAT I CAN SLEEP IN IT. IT'S JUST A BIT TOO LARGE BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THAT IT IS ALMOST THE PERFECT BRA. AND THAT IS A GAME CHANGER FOR US GIRLS WHO ARE VERY AMBLE IN THAT AREA. KUDOS!

It's ok
Very comfortable bra. My only issue with it is that one of the straps has a tendency to come undone from the cup as if it's a nursing bra, which it doesn't say anything about that in the description.

Not for the more mature lady!
Firstly let me say this bra is comfortable, but that is the best thing I can say about it. I do not have enormous breasts, 38C, so I ordered the large fitting & it is too small. As for support, if you have lovely firm breasts & are not a woman in her 60's, with bits of you rapidly falling south, I am sure it is a wonderful bra but it gives me no support whatsoever, in fact when you move about it is more akin to encasing a couple of very wobbly jellies & is not worth the money. However, in the evenings when relaxing I do like to take my regular underwired bra off & wear something less like a straight jacket & this is comfortable for that.

Bust minimiser?
Undeniably comfortable and I wouldn't return it, but I wouldn't order another. I don't have the fullest of figures but what I have is squashed and gives a rather unflattering flat shape, due to this bra. It's well made and good quality but the cups are far too small, I got a medium, usually I'm a 34c. I would recommend this bra if comfort is more important to you than shape, if so you might as well buy a 'crop top' bra.

Extremely comfortable
Such a comfortable bra! Just keep in mind nipples will show through clothes

Comfy and Cute
Very comfortable and exactly what I was looking for. I wanted an unpadded wireless bra to wear for comfort that gives a little support and didn't flatten me like traditional sports bras. For reference I typically wear a 32 DD, I purchased a small in this bra and have to wear it on the last hook to avoid spillage but fits comfortably. I intend on purchasing more in different colours. I may buy just one in medium to compare but I suspect it would be too big.

Yup, the newspaper article was right....
Conversation with my sister:This is soooo comfyReally? I prefer separate cups, Otherwise it all smooshes togetherMe too normally but omg its soooo comfy - it's not a sheep dog in the sense it rounds them up and points them in right direction - certain amount of side spread but .....
