Customer Reviews Playtex 18 Hour Original Comfort Strap Full Coverage Bra Us4693

So I struggle when it comes to buying bras. Since having a child it has become worse, now a 44DDD, I typically can get away with a 42DDD depending on the brand. I purposely went bigger to have more comfort around my chest area. I have went in store and tried on varies bras, most of which were extremely expensive or had no padding and were uncomfortable. Mind you I was properly measured at these stores (42DDD at the store with Playtex), I even tried a Playtex in store the same size, and was informed that there was those with padding available through this site. Playtex has been a great bra in the past, but this bra was straight out painful. I had to apply vasoline to the bra to even get it on properly and to have it stop digging into my skin. I at first had it on the tightest setting, like I had the bra at the store. To be polite I ripped the bra off before even getting out the door. I tried the bra again, this time I had help getting the bra on, we put it on the looses setting. Within a hour, we are at the gym getting ready to work out, the bra cut so badly into my skin, it looked like the bra had to be way too small. I was measured again, the size was not the issue it was the ribbing design of the bra.

We need more colors in larger sizes for 48DDD and up

the new design is awful. They feel about 5 sizes too small. The band fits way too tight. I wear a 40 H & I even ordered a size up (42 H)! The cups are much smaller than they used to be. If I bend over just once (or not at all) I will start spilling out the front. The plastic adjusters HURT! Cutting & digging into my back. The band material feels a little thicker & maybe that's why it feels too tight & not stretchy. These bras are all wrong now. Please go back to the original product design. I fear I may have lost my go to work bra.

My mother has had me order these bras for her for years. I purchased her a 44B and 46B. Neither one of them fits. The cups were bulky and the material on the band is scratchy. The quality and sizing of this bra has changed, and it is not for the better. Really disappointed for this was her favorite bra. Will have to send three bras back.

I was looking forward to receiving this bra since it had such great reviews. However I was very disappointed. The band was too tight, the cups to big and the material is scratchy. It also did not have a nice sharpe, made my breasts pointy. There is no way I can wear this and will be returning.

If you wanna look like Wonder Woman, this is the bra for you. Order a size smaller... The seams in the cups are all puckery. I think if it were tighter, it might look more like the photo. Which is still unnatural.

I was so hopeful this bra would workout. The straps were great. Very comfortable for a long work day. My only issue was the bra made my boobs look noticeably pointy! The horizontal seam on the cups ruined the bra for me. I can not wear this bra in public :(.

The sides and back of bra are nice, but it makes my boobs pointy. I will be returning them.

This Bra is very old fashioned looking & fit .If you decide to try get a smaller cup the cup runs Large

This bra runs 2 to 3 sizes smaller than the label. The edging on the bra is completely uncomfortable and feels like a thorns all along the edge of the bra. Only sort of comfy if you don't move or breathe while wearing bra.

I love the way it looked I love the price. But when I took it off I saw one of the islets had already pulled loose:-(

I ordered a size bigger than I normally wear and the two I got run extremely small!!!!! Had to buy bra extender. The price these cost they should fit. Two out of three orders I placed on this site ran small. Never again

Much too big. I was dissapointed as playtex bras usually work for me.

I ordered 2 bras thinking they were the same as another one that I have. They are not. They are the most uncomfortable bra I have never owned.

measured 38B but bra band was too tight. Ordered a 40B and cup puckers at top below straps.

I have several I bought a few years ago that are great. BUT I just bought some more and they are terrible. The fabric is stiff and scratchy with little give. So uncomfortable. The cups are not the natural rounded ones they used to be, they are now conical and unnatural. I'm so disappointed. I've never experienced this degree of decline in a product.

Very stiff, rough, scratchy The seam across the top certainly lifts but makes breasts look very pointy. Bought it for the wide straps. Bought 4 and would like to exchange

This bra would be great if its good features were not completely outweighed by the "Madonna effect:" the breasts are not made "shapely"--the bra makes them pointy, much like Madonna's famous costume over a decade ago. I cannot wear this at all.

I bought 3 of these in different colors because the price was so low. Well as the saying goes you get what you pay for. The fit was great, but from the beginning the material had a cheap rubber smell. I thought it would fade, but no amount of soaking or washing removed it. Have you ever let your clothes sit in the dryer thinking they were dry and then worn them? Where the slight mildew smell does not become apparent until after you get to work and your stuck smelling it all day? That was how it was with these bras and as time went on it got more disgusting; I ended up trashing them and thanking God I had not paid much for them.

The fabric is so rigid on this one. A woman does not want to feel like she is wearing an iron cage around her chest all day. All bras should be made of stretchy fabric. If it's not stretchy, don't bother making it. Women move, breathe, bend... and we need fabrics (for all our garments, not just bras) with give in them, so they can move with us through the day.

I didn't care for the style. Return them for Bali which I just received. So far I like them very much.

I bought these in my size that I've been for 10 years now. They are very tight. I measured them and they are all about 3/4 of an inch too short around the band . The straps are too short as well. I have to put them all the way out. Cups are much smaller also. Will never buy these again!

Like the bra, like the fit, would not recommend out of principal or spite whatever you want to call it. Why cant all the pretty colors go higher then 46? Larger women like pretty colors also.

I so wanted to believe that I could find a comfortable and pretty wirefree bra. This style was not it. I tried 2 sizes and both had pointy cups and wrinkles in the wrong places. The fabric was stiff and uncomfortable. I'm not sure who this fits, but it wasn't me! I'll keep looking....

I dislike underwire bras. I need a LARGE cup size. There are no bras offered WITHOUT seams in a cup size larger than DDD. This style bra, with seams across the breasts, is clearly visible under clothing because the seams PUCKER. Can't recommend this style to anyone who is larger than a DDD. Most unfortunate. I am looking for a comfortable bra with a seamless cup in a cup size larger than DDD. I will have to purchase from a competitor.
