PLAYTEXWomen's Secrets Underwire Bra 4823, Full Coverage Balconette T-Shirt Bra for Full Figures

This Bra is Amazing!
I definitely needed some new bras when my old ones were so stretched out in the straps that they wouldn't hold me up well enough no matter how much I tightened them. I used to buy expensive bras but I wanted to look for less expensive options that are still good quality. I've seen Playtex bras in the stores for many years and figured I would check them out. I tried out a different Playtex bra which I didn't like as much so I decided to try this one. I love it so much I ended up purchasing seven of them in different colors!This Playtex bra is exactly the bra I wanted! It is a balconette style, which is perfect if you have shirts that might dip down a bit so you shouldn't have to worry about showing off the bra cups. It has underwire that helps to keep the girls in place and so far, it feels very comfortable. I haven't had any problems with it popping out. The straps and cups are lightly padded, which is just what I wanted. I don't like bras that are heavily padded because I am a 36D and I don't need to add any more bulk on top. It has a triple-hook closure with three hooks for each of the three sizes for a total of nine hooks. The straps are adjustable and the back of the bra seems very breathable and looks like it is made of mesh. This bra is made of a mixture of nylon, spandex, polyester, cotton, and polyurethane foam. Washing instructions say to hand wash cold and line dry. I always throw hand wash items in a lingerie bag in the washing machine, line dry them and I've never had a problem. I've washed these bras a number of times like this and they still are in great condition. These bras are made in Indonesia.As I said, I initially purchased one of these bras and loved it so much, I ordered a total of six more! I have nude, nude jacquard, gentle peach rose jacquard, two mother-of-pearl jacquard, and two black jacquard. I love the print on the latter two colors because it looks like flower petals to me. I love to have black bras for wearing under darker shirts but I also like the light-colored bras for wearing under lighter-colored shirts. I especially love the mother-of-pearl color because it's more of an ivory or bone color and is softer than white but lighter than nude. I loved it so much I bought two of that color!I find these bras very comfortable to wear all day. The underwire is very comfortable and hasn't bothered me at all but I will update this review if that changes. The material is soft and comfortable and supports me well so I don't feel droopy. My old bras had lost their elasticity and I looked like I was sagging but now, I'm perkier and feel more comfortable too. I've always been a 36D and I purchased 36D in these bras which fit perfectly so I feel these bras fit true to size.I love these bras and am glad I finally decided to purchase some new ones! They are comfortable, come in a variety of colors and prints, and are affordable so you can replace all of your old bras if you need to, which is what I did. As long as these bras hold up for a reasonable amount of time, I will continue to purchase them. I will update this review if anything happens to alter my opinion. If you like the lightly-padded, balconette style and don't feel like going to a store to try them on, I highly recommend this bra and to order your regular size!

Repurchased this bra 3 times - I love it that much!
I’m super happy with this bra and have now ordered three, all exactly the same, in black, from Amazon because of the great price (which you do have to watch out for). Trying to find a decent fitting bra is near to impossible for ladies with a bigger bust like me, no matter where I get measured or what websites I follow to obtain the most accurate measurement. Following brand’s size charts doesn’t work for me either as they usually never fit as intended when you get them. They can flatten out the bust, cut it in half giving you 4 boobs or cut into the armpits which is very uncomfortable. I purchased this bra in a 36DDD (a size quite often hard to find in itself) and im pleased to report that it actually fits so well. I feel properly supported all day long, it has substantial yet comfortable straps and it gives me a nice shape under clothes. The appliqué detail is not too much that it shows through tight t shirts and the satin isn’t too shiny either. It’s more like a semi matte satin. This looks like an expensive bra and I’m really happy to get a hold of it several times on amazon. I may even buy more.

OUCH!!! Not for those with big girls!!!
Sorry for this review but I had to write it. I am a DD. I found this bra comfortable when I put it on, BUT about a half hour later the lower wire HURT! The underwire is thick and very hard, no give at all!!! It seemed to feel as it was pressing on my rib under my breast. I bought this because of the reviews. In my opinion, if you have big girls I would pass on this one.

Va voom
I really like this bra. I am 36 D for reference. The shape it gives is a lifted rounded teardrop shape, very sexy. Great support and modesty with the molded cups without the extra bulk that a molded cup sometimes adds. Little bit of lace at the neckline makes it more fun and feminine. One knock is I feel the cup runs a little large and I already sized down. I think wIth a C cup I'd have spillage though.

I love the fit of this bra
I love the fit of this bra. It really lifts and makes my boobs feel secure. The straps are super compfy. Not a perfect look for tang tops, but for most seasons where the thicker compfy straps are hidden it's great. But keep in mind, these are compfy straps and the bra fits great. I am a 38 DDD.

My Search Is OVER!
Bras and I have had love/hate relationships since puberty. I've run the gamut from 1970s bralessness to the boutique brands that have ridiculous vanity sizes that mean nothing when trying to translate to other brands. My body has been affected by my life experiences - pregnancy, weight fluctuations, age, gravity and COVID - so my size was a toss up. I did order a different brand on Amazon after following their size chart but the fit was off so I returned the bra. I decided to try this Playtex bra and have been very happy. The fit is spot on per their size chart, my girls are supported and feel suspended above an underwire I forget is there. I haven't had to do battle with the straps (something I have had to do with almost every bra!) and I don't feel like I want to rip the thing off at the earliest possible moment. I recommend this bra to real women everywhere!

Victoria secret who?????
I’m extremely surprised I love this bra so much, I recently had a wire fall out of my favorite bra and wanted to try something new. I’ve been only stuck on Victoria secret bras since I was in high school (25 now) and now that I’m more looking for comfort than brand name or looks I needed to find something that makes my chest not fall out. I also always have to try on my bras before buying so I took a risk on this one because of the good reviews. I AM SOLD this bra fits like a glove and looks so much better in my clothes now that it hugs in all the right places. Definitely buying other colors and this might be my only choice from now on, the lace also makes the bra still really flattering. I’m a 38DD (Victoria secret employee tried to tell me I’m a DDD) and there’s still plenty of room in this bra if I needed it And can loosen the straps or tighten. I’m so happy to find something I feel comfortable in and for a good price.

Super comfy bra. Amazing fit.
Great wonderful comfortable supportive bra, I love it. The only issue was the stitching had come undone where the two seams in the material meet at the shoulder strap, it was like this before I put it on... just wondering if the bras sold here are factory seconds or if someone else had go this one and sent it back... I washed it just in case... I'm keeping it as it took forever to get to me and I can easily stitch it up... my view is that I think the bra could be sold a little cheaper with the defect. Other than that this is honestly a fantastic fitting bra.How I got my correct size ... I checked my measurement's on Pennington's web site, according to their calculator I am a 40 DDD ... I tried on a Pennington's bra size 40 DDD and it was too tight, so when you go up a size which for me is 42... you go down a cup size which for me is DD, I took a chance and ordered the Playtex bra 42DD and it fits perfectly. I hope that helps.

Los mejores bras que he tenido
Llevo unos 3 años pidiendo este mismo modelo según estén disponibles los colores y puedo decir que son los mejores bras que he tenido hasta ahora en mi vida. No encuentro mi talla fácilmente en tiendas físicas (38 DDD) así que decidí probar estos. Los tirantes son del grosor perfecto para dar soporte, no se clavan. Las copas muy amplias y de buena forma. El material es resistente y el tamaño de la tira de la espalda esconde los rollitos. Me encantan, seguiré pidiendo.
