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

I own at least 6 of these - never dried them in the dryer - always washed and hung out to dry - all of them eventually just wore out I guess - the sides started sticking together - like it had been dried in a hot dryer -which I know I did not do - also under the arms - all the decorative lace came apart between the mess leaving a lumpy look - BUT AMAZINGLY THE CUPS ARE LIKE BRAND NEW. GO FIGURE.

It's the best fitting bra I can find in my size but I still have problem with keeping the straps on my shoulders. The U shaped bra straps are too wide apart for me and I can find no alternatives.

I have always purchased Playtex Bras. I couldn't find my size in stores, so I ordered online. The bra looks the same as my earlier purchases. However, the fit is really tight.

I called this order in & I'm sure it was my mistake but I can only wear front fasten bra and this one fastens in back.

The fit is perfect, but the material is way rougher than expected. Despite fitting great and not being tight at all, it left red marks and rubbed my underarms raw. I recommend using fabric softener and washing it before wearing, which made a lot of difference the second time I wore it. Straight out of the box, the fabric is far too scratchy and rough for me.

Although I feel the product was as advertised, After buying three different styles in three different sizes and none of them fitting correctly and all returned, I have decided I probably will never try buying a bra off the internet again. You really need to try them on first.

I've been buying ether Bali or Playtex bras for over 50 years! Always could find just the right size always, and would buy at least 3 every time. Now, at 81, I've struck out! These past 2 years has been a challenge. I've been in a 40D comfortably, but recently, as my body changes, I'm finding that the first notch is no longer right - I need more holes! which aren't there. So I ordered a 42 D, but the cup was WAY too big. I phoned in and the gal suggested a 44C! Gasp! Not at ALL right! I think I'd better go to a local store and be fitted. How can I accomplish that?

After only a week I am so so. Bra fits good but the seam that goes straight across the cup is "rippley" Maybe after washing, it will smoothe out.

A little itchy under the breast. But good coverage

I ordered 6 of these bras, all the same size and they all seem to fit well but the purple one and it fits as though it's a different size.

I love the color, but the style and construction makes me look too pointy. It's just not the one for me. I returned it and got another Playtex that I knew I'd like.

I bought this and like it a lot, but it was too small around the midriff. So I returned it for the next size larger and it was no different! I just gave up and didn't return this one too. Given it was no different I did not know if the next one would be no different! It is tight and also itchy at the sternum.

I ordered the same size as the other styles of 18 hr bras, but this one did not fit as well -- seemed to be smaller than the other styles.

Bought a few weeks ago. Too tight in the band so size up one size. Itchy material on the bottom band. Needless to say it is going back.

Runs a little large in the cup size, but over all a good fit

I bought this bra many, many times because I wear an odd size and this is one of the few styles that carries my size. Overall, I am happy with the bra & will buy it again, but I think the straps are slightly too short. The cup is slightly too big, but they don't offer a smaller cup size or 1/2 size. After a while, the band doesn't really stay beneath my breasts but rides up. Also, the band puckers after a few washes & the bra looks shabbier than it should. Finally, although I realize it may be impractical for the manufacturer, there are only 3 colors in my odd size (white, beige, coffee), and I wish I had more color choices.

I ordered 5 bra's, kept one and sent the other 4 back.

I bought three of these about a month ago and two of the bras rings holding the strap to the band snapped and broke. Otherwise I am very happy with the fit.

I received these bras runs small around but bust cup runs big. I have to send back. Well made bra just have to try a different size

These are a great bra. More hooks & eyes for support, padded straps for comfort, and the right amount of fabric in the cups for the right amount of coverage. My only problem is the lack of colors allowed for the bigger sizes.

I like the support a lot. The only downside is the material is scratchy and they make your breast appear pointy like bras from the 1950's.

I am happy with this, only request is to add new color choice on 36dd size

Love the support of this bra. Best of any bra I've tried, and I've tried a lot, including underwires. I also like the shaping - breasts project forward, not to the sides, reduced side bulge, rounded cone-shaped cup. Color selection is fantastic. However, even though the cup size was fine (36 C), the seams showed through every top I tried except for bulky sweaters, which I rarely wear. It was worst right around the nipple, where the clothing fabric rests right across the seam. It's made worse by the slight puckering in the seam, which you can visibly see in the cup even before you put the bra on. Maybe I just got two that were flawed in the sewing. But either way, I sent them back. It's a shame because the bras are really well made, and like I said, give great support.

Not as comfortable as I would think it runs small, around the body not the cup very beautiful

I have had to wash this bra three times now and it is still stiff. I also think the size runs a bit small. i am not using the dryer so it is taking a lot longer to get the scratchiness out. I only do my laundry once a week, at this rate I might be able to wear it in December!
