If you are large busted this bra won't do just coverage to your sides. You will hang out and it's uncomfortable. I am a 46B and the band barely reaches to the first row of hooks. It's not the bra for me. This is for a small 46B bust.

I ordered my usual size which I've worn in Playtex and Bali for the past 20 years and the CUPS on this bra had more extra space than what I'm used to, and the overall coverage was MASSIVE. The band was more snug than I like. The trim was on the rough side and not soft. The colors were lovely, though, which is hard to find in the larger sizes.

When I received them they were very stiff, almost felt like a stiff paper or something. Thinking they must not be regular quality bra because I've worn this bra for many years and never got that before. After I washed them they were better.

I think I ordered the wrong size and can't re-order them until I replace the computer I literally broke. They frown on being mashed in an electric recliner!

Bra seems good, but even though I did the measurements as instructed, it's too small around and cups are too big. I keep trying with Playtex, but I never had luck. Buying a bra on-line is almost impossible when you are trying a new brand. Everyone makes the sizing differently. Definitely not like the good old days where you could count on everyone using the same measurements for sizing.

one the Playtex 18 hr bras I bought last year that the elastic in the sides has dissolved into hard paper type balls? Both bras, purchased at the same time have been worn/washed a similar number of times. The beige one is fine; the blue one has deteriorated to the point it is uncomfortable to wear.

I am a plus sized, large breasted woman so finding supportive bras is no easy task. This bra temporarily fits the billif you can stomach the smell. I've gotten these bras for years because for the price they are, as I said temporarily supportive but there is an odd smell that doesn't ever really go away. Also the material inside breaks down after a while and comes out in the form of sticky pieces under your breasts. I usually don't let them get to that point before I toss them and buy new ones but you would think a well known brand like Playtex would fix this KNOWN problem after all these years. This bra isn't the best but it certainly isn't the worst though for me they are somewhat disposable.

I bought two bras - one my normal size and one the next size up. They didn't fit. The band does not fit.

It is currently very tight but it does lift me and make me look like I lost 5 lbs.

Have always liked the Playtex 18 hour #4693 in the past. This time though it seems they increased the cup size from before. So this means a return and have to return it. Quality wise it is still a long lasting bra.

Not soft at all even after washing but supports my 44G bust perfectly. If it was a different style or material I might like it better

Good made bra! Just not made for me! Needs more material in cups, not the thin it has. Good value, if it fits the person.

The bra was a bit tight even though I ordered up from my normal size and the cups make the boobs look pointy. Also the lace around the straps is very uncomfortable.

When the description says lightly lined, youd better believe its light. Just a thin layer of tricot. If youre between cup sizes, go down. If you just like coverage choose a different style.

I am a large woman. The straps on the 18 hour bras are way to short in the front. If the padding is at my shoulders the cups are under my chin. My boobs are not up there. I am returning mine.

It seems as though Playtex may have changed their specifications because I have worn the same size bra for several years and the new ones I purchased do not fit the same way. I believe part of it could be due to the fabric used for the cups. My previous 18-hour bras had the cups made of tricot. The new ones are lace over cotton(?) and don't conform in the same way. It is quite disconcerting and rather discouraging since it affects the way my clothing fits. The design which is well-fitted, wears well, and gives your clothing the proper support didn't need fixing.

The bras are well made and soft...but not true to size. I honestly wish I could have sent them back but for hygiene purposes we are stuck with them.

I bought this bra a size larger than the worn-out bras I'm currently wearing as they're a bit too small -- but this is smaller than they are. I think it will be comfortable when I'm able to wear it, but not yet. (Maybe the takeaway is that I should expect old bras to have stretched -- but I don't think they're 3 sizes bigger than they used to be!)

Do you have bras specifically for older women?

It is more comfortable than some others I have been trying, but still too restricting.
