Very comfortable - Feels like a cotton t-shirt, but no support; may make saggy breasts WORSE!
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.

Better than expected
I have been looking for a bra that is comfortable and secure, but not compressive, to wear on a daily basis. And, something that is not a traditional Victoria Secret style…for personal reasons. I honestly would have overlooked this simple bra had it not been that I have tried so many different styles and was just literally trying anything at this point. So, I did, and I am pleasantly surprised. I have worn this bra as a daily bra and during my workouts (strength training, no running) and it is exactly what I have been looking for: simple, comfortable, supportive , and breathable. I really like that it hooks in the front. I got the 3 pack and they are all sized the same and wash up great. I am a 32/34 C. I got a small and am happy with the fit. When it’s time for more, I will replace with the same style.

Fruit of the loom is top of the line.
I have one comfortable bra. I got very sick 2 years ago. My daughter got me some expensive uncomfortable replacements that were like getting into and out of straight jackets. They fell apart in the wash like they were made with sand paper and tissue. Old reliable didn’t fit me very well anymore and it’s at least. A decade old. It’s like Amazon has been peeking into my underwear drawer, and knows I need a bra. I finally stuck the old faded backing under a light and decoded the faint writing. I figured out it was a fruit of the loom. Nothing ever has fit or felt so well. I actually went to Walmart where I had originally gotten this bra, but they were out of my size. And every day, amazon was hitting me with bra ads left and right. Bamboo bras. Old lady bras. This is the best bra for you adds. Every day there were fancier, newer, flashier bras. And I go online to check these out. They look tempting, and I can barely afford them; but I read the reviews and in spite of the great press, people were always complaining about comfort, about fit, about durability. About advertising being full of lies. The old lady who had designed the bra for other old ladies was off her rocker or laughing her way to the bank. I knew I had to go with the one I trust. So, on Amazon, I found my old dependable fruit of the loom bra in a great price, in my size, and a two pack. I was over the moon delighted. And it just came today. I can’t say thank you enough. I’m just an old bag whose body and life has fallen apart, but I don’t have to be droopy-boobed and uncomfortable. Thank you!!!

Must have for disabled women
I am a 35 year old cancer patient. I am disabled, and putting in on a regular bra or even a sports bra is extremely difficult for me. This bra closes in the front. It’s a total game changer. It’s super comfortable and has no awful underwire. You can wear it with the padding it comes with for extra support and some sexy push up, or if you prefer you can easily remove the pads. It stays in place. No one suspects I’m wearing a sports-like bra. The fact that it’s easy to put on and closes in the front is so helpful. I threw all my other bras away.

Comfortable & just enough support
Got a pack of these because I needed something to wear around the clock for 48 hours after a breast biopsy. These filled the bill. I like that they are cotton, so they breathe. Also they are very stretchy, so they were easy to put on, yet snug enough to provide enough support. They also have a front closure if you need that. No problem at all to sleep in. Great quality for the price!

Bottom of front closure sometimes rubs skin
These bras are reasonably well made of a comfortable fabric. However, on some (and only some) of them, the sewn bottom edges of the front closure were rough/hard/pointy such that there was a sore on my chest skin underneath when I removed the bra. I bought these in preparation for having radiation therapy, because they are made of a very soft material, but the fact that the bottom of the front closure sometimes irritated my skin made them unusable for that purpose. Again, it's just the way some workers sewed the bottom edges that caused the irritation -- some of the bras were fine, others not.

Well made, fits, and is comfortable
Really! The price, comfort and fit of these is great. I wear a larger size because I am plus size. I have had no luck finding comfortable bras locally. And when I do they discontinue them. Plus they cost a lot more. These wash up well, lasted a year before showing any signs of wear, a cost practically nothing in comparison to fancy, name brand sports bras. I ordered a few of these - in different colours - last year and then again this year. Apparently white is my go to colour because the white ones show the most wear. After wearing them every day - for a year! After a year the elastic band around had stretched a bit and they arent white white any more. But I wash all my workout clothes - mostly black - together. Including these bras. I ordered pink and grey this time. I highly recommend them and for the price - why not? After a month or two come back and order a few more. All sizes are not always available and prices fluctuate.

Very Comfortable
The bra is good quality and very comfortable. It runs to size and offers minimal support. I bought it to wear around the house and for gardening. It doesn't cut into your skin or chafe if you have been moving around and working up a sweat and is easy to put on/take off. I have limited mobility in one shoulder from a dislocation and can put this on with ease. It washes really well and hasn't shrunk or degraded. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase and will order again. Would have loved to have this offered in a two pack and with some color variety.
