This is just too difficult a bra for me, there is no stretch on the back or straps, enough for me to wear with my arthritic hands. Sorry, it is a lovely bra, but just not for me.

The bra is pretty but that's it. there is no wire and I feel no support - my boobs sag, who wants to buy a bra that does that?!!

Great quality, and color and fit, but NO lightly padded as it had been described, so I had to ship back for refund. I will try one of your outlet locations to try one on with padded cups. Thank you, I will still order t's and other items if you offer free shipping more often.

This bra has no shape. It feels like an athletic bra. Very uncomfortable.

FORGET the diagram. This model # is NOT supportive for a DDD-cup! I've got 4-year-old bras more supportive! I sent it back!!!

Wasn't what I thought they would be - seemed like quilting. Didn't have the support I was looking for.

I'm 65 and have always worn a bra. The 4159 is the most uncomfortable bra I've ever had. It is too much bra, not soft, and very itchy if worn long. Unfortunately I purchased 4 of them. Back to my Bali brand bras that are comfortable. Sorry Playtex, these are awful.

The bra was good but it was very snug. And made my boobs look like cones.

This is no the bra is you want definition! It made me look like a uni-boob! I decided to wear it as an exercise bra and it works great for that purpose. But for a finished look, it does work! I felt like I was sagging all day and even my best blouse looked frumpy and did not "fit" across the chest. I am a 44DDD and my search continues!

Good quality and somewhat comfortable but, at least for my size, wearing this bra gives me the look of 'cone boobs'. I'm really not a fan of that. Haven't worn it yet because of this. But hey, some people may not mind or have the same issue.

I bought one of these a month ago, hoping it would be a good replacement for the style 4395 Playtex bras that have so sadly been discontinued. (I wore that style for at least 30 years. It was perfect for me!) This one does have soft, breathable fabric, as advertised, but it doesn't give me the all-day support I need. Maybe I'll wear it when I'm lying around the house doing nothing. But otherwise, my search for something to replace the discontinued style continues.

I found the bras too close up front, no room for comfort & the straps were way too short when adjusted. I had to take the bras to a thrift store & buy a new one of a different brand.

This particular bra has been my go-to for years. Unfortunately, they've changed the fit. Cup sides ride way too high into my armpits, the straps are shorter, pulling the band out of place. It's hard enough to find a comfortable bra, and aggravating when you have to go looking for something new because your brand changed on you.

I do not like being told the support is good when it is not. The bra creates a "uni-boob" which makes it very uncomfortable.

I bought the Playtex 18-hour Model 4395 bra in 34C for 20+ years. This new bra promises to smooth the back and sides, but does neither. The breast size is smaller than the earlier model, and the bra does not give full coverage (does not cover the entire breast). You can see it in the model photos, where there is plenty of unwanted squashy cleavage. An inferior product.

I'm deeply disappointed in this bra. I only gave it a single star because there was no lower option. First of all, the size was completely off. Secondly, the material used for the cups is a flimsy, satiny fabric that provides absolutely no support. None. Maybe good for a sleep bra -- if it even fit -- but other than that, one might as well be naked. Total waste of money.

I recently purchased 2 of these bras because I bought them in a store near me and they fit and looked well. I thought purchase them on Hanesplace and save a few $$. The bras that came were by far much smaller than the same size I just purchased in the store. Are they seconds? Maybe? I am done purchasing from this mail order site. I have had similar issues in the past.

This is the first time I've tried a non-wired bra (I'm a 46D). This bra provided very little lift but the most annoying was that the weight of my breasts pulled the back band up almost to my neck.

I have made a purchase from here before. In fact, I think it was the same type of bra in different colors and a different size. I thought that the first set I got was just the wrong size is why they felt so uncomfortable. However, I went a size bigger and these seem even smaller and are much more uncomfortable. I wear them now because the ones I ordered from One Hanes Place before didn't really last that long. Now, I realize that it's really the quality of the material and poor manufacturing of the bras that make them horrible. I am quite certain that I will not order from this site again. At least I know I won't order this same type of bra again. They are truly uncomfortable, the material is rough and stiff, and the size doesn't seem to change. At the price I paid, it just isn't worth it.

The shoulder straps on this bra are way too short. I couldn't even get it on because the band was so very high up on my back. Rather than send it back I took straps from an old bra and sewed 6 inches of them to the straps on the new one. The cups and the band fit good and, now, so do the straps. I don't understand why the straps are so short. Please make the straps 5 or 6 inches longer.
