Let's be blunt here. I'm fat, old, and my "girls" are just as tired as I am. Even when hanging around the house, I don't want certain parts of me hanging around my knees! I HAVE to wear a bra, but even a wireless bra can feel tight and irritating by the end of the day. Due to some health issues, even certain fabrics can feel like sandpaper on my skin. While I've only had the bra on for a few hours so far, I can tell that it is soft, stretchy, but lends more support than I expected. For those of you who like to go jogging, this won't help, but for leisurely activities, it's fine. I've tried similar type bras before, and they usually end up squishing me in the front. The band either rolls up badly, or the whole bra ends up riding up till it winds up under my armpits. Can't say what this bra will do after washing (I plan to hand wash), but on me everything seems to fit snugly without any binding or digging. The removable support pads are actually where they need to be, so that's also a plus. I fell between the bust measurements on the size charts, so I ordered up. The site has some sort of "fit predictor" that suggests best fit. Ignore it, and go by actual chest measurement.
