Fruit of the LoomWomen's Front Close Sports Bra - Cotton Blend, Easy Fit & Built-Up Support

I am disabled and bedridden and have a very difficult time finding bras. I have to wear a bra at all times due to underboob chaffing and rashes. I also have difficulty with back hooks, esp if multiple. One of the big problems is naked elastic in the front, which is very irritating. I previously wore nursing bras I found at big box stores a while back. But since then, bras with covered elastic have been hard to find (have to be fairly inexpensive). I've been wearing an old bra with a big rip in the side, but couldn't find a suitable bra online. Until this one.I ordered 2 of my size, from the reviews saying a little bit large. But they were more true to size, so good for wearing out, but not for the bed, so ordered 2 more the next size up and perfect, esp after wearing. I don't dry them in the dryer, however.They are very soft and comfortable and the front closure is great and very easy. When new, I had a little irritation on the bottom corner of the hooks where the stitches came together. But I just unhooked the bottom hook, which was no problem due to many other hooks, and after a while the problem went away and now it doesn't happen at all (had them several months). I guess they stretched out, so that area wasn't a problem anymore and/or subsequent washing has helped. It went away quickly and wasn't a problem. Better if it hadn't happened at all, but I was able to deal with it fine.For wearing out, and no underwire, they are pretty good and fine for my rare outings in baggy clothes. I feel attractive in them. Better than nursing bras! They are very well made, esp for the price.The only thing I would change is having adjustable straps and the bra comes high under underarms. No leakeage or side boob, but it could be irritating, although the edge is doubled over and soft. Irritating only if you don't like your bra coming up there. If a problem, I would try a larger size (but will be less supportive, although the cups are very good, with not much difference between my 2 adjacent sizes.If you are looking for bras for someone in my situation, these are great and inexpensive. Just size up one or two. If I wasn't disabled or needed a sleeping bra, then I would probably wear an underwire bra, as I always did, but these are fine for rare trips to the doctor, etc, one size larger than my bed bras, to keep the jiggle to a minimum (I am a DD cup, I think).

I have saggy, mom boobs, so if anyone can relate, I hope this review might help you!Upon considering breast surgery, I was told I would need a few good front-closure sports bras. Before then, I didn't even know such bra existed (sheltered, I know).I bought 5 front-closure sports bras and want to compare / contrast them so you don't have to buy so many to find which one (or ones) you want. If it helps, here are my opinions (and I didn't get any of these for free of discounted, by the way - paid full price!):1.) Fruit of the Loom Clasp-front Bra (This Bra) With SIX clasps, this all-cotton bra seems sturdy, but provides little to no support. It's very comfortable like at-shirt and feels much more like a sleep bra than anything you can actively wear during the day if you want your breasts to not sag. It's not padded, just lined with a white cotton liner fabric. With my d-cup breasts, I wouldn't wear it for exercise of any kind, even if doubled up. Best left in the bedroom.2.) Carol Martin Full Freedom clasp-front bra ( Carole Martin Full-Freedom Comfort Bra -36 Black ) which is more of a sleep bra than a sports bra but with a 4.3 stars out of 2,000 reviews, I bought it anyway. Wins the award for the most comfortable, forget you're wearing a bra! But it has zero support and although the lace flap covering the claps is a pretty touch, it does make it a little difficult to hook all 5 hooks with the lace in the way. That being said, it's so stinkin' comfortable, I don't care about the lace problem : I have worn this bra to bed every single night since I received it!3.) Jockey Zip-front bra ( Jockey Women's Zip Front Seam Free Bra, Deep Black Space Dye, Large ) Padded inserts for flattering shape, this bra WOULD have been my favorite of them all because of the no-pinch cloth flap under the zipper, coupled with the silver hook half way up the zipper, which is a HUGE help in trying to zip this by yourself, BUT I found the non-locking zipper to be a pretty major setback! As in, the zipper comes down by itself! I alleviated the problem by wearing another bra under this one and that seemed to reduce the strain enough so that the zipper stays put.4.) Wanayou Zip-front Bra ( Women's Zip Front Sports Bra Wireless High Impact Active Yoga Sports Bras (XL:Fit 34D,36B,36C,38A,38B,38C, Purple) ) claiming to be for "post-surgery" I got the purple one but it is more of a "crayola" true purple than the mauve-purple shown in the seller's pics. I like the zipper covers on the top and bottom which are great for comfort, but a little lumpy-looking under a shirt. The pad inserts are nice to give a little shape and the zipper is amazing for reducing the dreaded uniboob! It is also one of the best for support, but I would still say only low to medium impact for smaller cupped women. As a D-cup, I wear this bra either doubled up with another bra or with a Boobuddy ( Boobuddy Adjustable Breast Support Band Sports Bra Alternative, Pink ).5.) AM Clothes zip-front bra ( Womens Racerback Wirefree Sports Bra, 34C/34D/36A/36B/36C, Rose Red ) - Anyway, this bra is so similar to the Wanayou zip-front bra, that I had to check the packaging to differentiate. Much of the same applies: It has nice zipper covers on the top and bottom for comfort, but a little lumpy-looking under a shirt. It has pad inserts for shape and the zipper reduces the dreaded uniboob! It is also one of the best for support, but I would still say only low to medium impact for smaller cupped women. As a D-cup, I wear this bra either doubled up with another bra or with a Boobuddy.I am also including pics of the bra closed and partially opened, so you can see how much it actually pulls my breast together and it might give you an idea of the strength / support, I hope. Anyway, since shopping for bras when you have "mom boobs" is a tough decision, I hope this review helped!************ UPDATE January 2019 *********************I feel differently about this bra now. I used to use it during sleep, but it is so difficult to close with seemingly a million clasps but worst of all, the bottom clasp is not low enough so there is a cloth flap on both sides that becomes itchy and annoying when wearing for longer than a few minutes. Now, it's a sleep bra of last resort, and then only if I put something (cloth, etc.) between it ans my skin. Bummer.

I bought these for post op lumpectomy and went with other reviewers advice and bought a size up. I actually am wearing 2 at once for better compression. I think I should have looked a little harder and bought more of a light compression sports bra as these are just stretchy fabric. There is no compression and after a lumpectomy you don’t want any jiggle or movement. I am very thankful they close in the front as I can’t imagine stretching around to close a back closing bra with these incisions. It covers my armpit incision completely and does not bother it. They are soft bras. They are more comfortable than the binder they send you home in but I’m not sure this is the “perfect” post op lumpectomy bra.I am now 2 1/2 weeks post op and still wearing one of these because I am still swollen on my lymph node incision and all my other bras prior to surgery are too tight. However, my breast has significantly gone down in swelling so that part is too big and offers little support because I ordered a size up. It is fine for wearing around the house but driving and being active is pretty painful. I did order 2 more of these a few days after surgery so I had enough to wear 24/7.I think these definitely served their purpose but I’m on the hunt for something different now.Sorry for the long review, I just know I had a lot of questions before surgery and was looking for answers.

Updating previous review: yes its comfortable, but advertised as pack of three I have received only one! thats not nice. Either send 3 or don't say there's 3. Can't find seller contact either to question it.previous review:Good support n comfort for a medium sized woman who gets a rash if the stitching on a bra can be felt on her skin. Excellent for sensitive skins. Doesn't provide nipple coverage though as there's no padding. I will be buying more of these. Front opening is a blessing and its firm enough to stop movement.

These bras are extremely comfortable, and feel nice against the skin, and they wash up well too. The description should be better advertised, as it is a bit misleading saying 3 bras , when it is actually 2 in the package. But a good product, that I would recommend buying.

I ordered the pack of 3 from fastening bra tops for my mam but when the order arrived there was only one in the bag. Having paid approximately £17 for 3 I was very slightly disappointed. The item itself my mother loves, she is nearly 80 and it is perfect for her but the correct number in the parcel would have been far better. I would have given 10 stars for quality but the packing department let should have done their job properly. It is a shame as I had planned to buy more.

I sized up one size as per many reviews. Usually a 36B, bought a 38 so I could put it in the wash and dryer with no worries. Fit is good after washing, with having some shape unlike many sports bras. The sewing thread in the bottom hem bothered me (have very sensitive skin) so I wear it inside out and just put it on / off over my head. Huge difference in comfort! Why don't they just make them with the hems on the outside? I found the flap that covers the hooks (so they are not touching your skin) is not wide enough either. It just barely covers the hooks so the bottom one was a little irritating after awhile. Really needs to be a wider flap. But with wearing it inside out thats no longer a problem. Its white on the inside, and the bra info is printed on the fabric in black so it's not "perfect" wearing it inside out but I am more concerned about comfort on a hot summer day than "looks". Easy to throw in the washer and dryer! Can't beat the price either.Update: bought a grey one in size 40 and its total comfort!

Not a pack of 3 only 1 but fits great and easy to fasten only reason for a one star is false advertising
