I was super excited to be receiving a free bra. We all know as a woman we have made it our
mission to find the perfect bras, jeans, and shoes and it require time and
effort to find the perfect fit at the best price possible. Free always wins. Well…this
bra was quite different from the style I’m used to wearing. I like my demi bras. They have a little breathing room. I am well
beyond my braless days, so little is better. I’ve found that with age and weight I need a
little more support and have slowly started making changes. When I pulled the Playtex out of the BzzAgent
box, I was a little worried. It was a
whole lot of bra. I wear sports bras for
comfort during exercise and just lounging, so I approached it as if it was that
kind of coverage.
The bra has a full coverage cup, with a thick, soft, comfortable
straps over the shoulders, and a wide supportive clasp in the back. The cup has an underwire and enough padding
for the scaffolding needed to keep the girls in place. The bra stayed in place with no riding up in
the front or the back. I felt pretty
comfortable throughout the day. There
were some drawbacks. The plastic piece
used to adjust the strap is located on the shoulder instead of at the bottom of
the strap. This was uncomfortable and
often dug into my shoulder. I really had
a hard time getting over the cup coverage.
It felt like I was wearing the pointy bras from the 60’s. It took some getting used to as it was different
from my usual style. The cups weren’t
pointy, that’s just the image I had in my head when I first started wearing the
bra. The wide back and really kept the
bra in place and comfortable. There is
no shoulder digging due to the wide straps before the plastic adjusters.
In summary, the bra was pretty comfortable if you like that
style. The bra gave me specifics to look
for when I seek out the perfect bra. The
paperwork that came with the bra shows some styles that are closer to my
liking. I will definitely check them out
when they are released in the fall as the good outweighed the bad.
