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

I have been buying playtex bras for years. In particular the 18hr comfort strap. I liked the fit and the coverage. The most recent one I bought (blue) left blue dye on my back in large amounts and the seems were sticky like glue. Not sure when the changed the construction of there bras or who is making them now but I will be searching for another bra.

I have Playtex bras that I have been wearing for a year size 44-DD and they just look old so figured I'd get some new ones and ordered 46_DD and it was so tight and the strap where not long enough to barely go over my shoulder.

I will not buy this style again. I have had 2 bra straps break because the plastic ring that holds them breaks. One of the bras I had not even washed yet. Very disappointed.

I bought this strictly on the reviews I read. I've never been a huge Playtex fan, thought I'd give it another try. I'm sorry, this is the most uncomfortable bra I have ever put on, from the straps, to the band to the cups. I tried, I really did. But this is going back.

I love this bra, so it's disappointing that the last few times I've ordered it, it has a strong rubber smell. I've soaked it in vinegar overnight; still smelled. Soaked it for 2 days in coffee grounds, same result. I threw the bras out. What happened????

Ive been wearing Playtex 4693 for about 25 years but the last 2 I purchased are scratching. One in the back at the clasp and the other in bach of the right side strap.Whats going on?? Poor quality lately.

The cup size comes up very large and the bra itself isn't flattering - in it's defense it is comfortable and I'm sure any granny will feel very happy in it

My entire order smelled like chemicals because of this one item. After washing everything, I discovered it was these bras causing the problem! I tried hanging them outside, febreeze, before giving up and returning them for a refund. My return was hassle-free which is why I am giving 1star. I think the company should do better quality checks before shipping a defective item like that as the smell was horrendous!

I have been buying this bra for years and last year I placed an order and when I received them they smelled like rubber. I washed them 3 times and the smell seemed to subside. However, the first time I wore one after a few minutes I could smell my bra! As soon as I got home I took it off I had a horrible rash. I returned them immediately. I ordered replacements thinking I had gotten a bad batch well the replacement order arrived and they smelled just as bad. I will not be ordering these again unfortunately I can not find a really good replacement UGH!

very poor quality. pricked. uncomfortable.synthetics.very disappointed with purchase

i hate them, they cut the skin under my breast and took days for it to heal

I know most of these comments are positive, but I ordered these a cup smaller than I usually wear and the cups were huge! Room left over. LOL Maybe Playtex isn't meant for me. I returned them.

I've worn Playtex bras for years and a 38D has always fitted well. This model has 4 fasteners instead of the usual 3 and was too small around and too large in the cup. Other models ordered at the same time fitted well as usual.

I am in process of returning a 38C bra- a size I have worn for years -other brands-thought I'd try the 18 hour comfort strap- sounds so good! Cup was fine - back band was about 6 inches too short! How could design be SO out of line with other makes? I resent having to pay return postage to return an item so badly out of size--

It doesnot fit properly, it was too small in regards to the cup sizing.

I got these a couple of months ago and love them.They fit well and wash up nice.

Returned product - not happy with the quality - scratchy

I bought this bra recently and, although it is comfortable, it made my breasts look odd. The cups are cylindrical in shape giving my boobs a weird, unnatural shape. Awful

I had an extremely difficult time finding a bra that fit properly. I measured according to the on-line instructions and ordered this bra. I have never had luck with Playtex bras fitting me properly, but I thought I'd give it a try. Never again. I ordered a different brand on the same site, same size and it fit perfectly. I think this proves that Playtex bras are not true to size.

I've tried this bra in every cup size I can wear and it simply doesn't work for me. The cups wrinkle like I'm a pre-teen trying to wear Mom's bra. As a plus size, large breasted woman, I have found success with Glamorise. Won't be buying Playtex again.

This bra is very uncomfortable. The strap adjustment is in the back & is annoying & you always feel it. It does have decent support but at the expense of comfort.

All I can say is Eeewww. I think this bra in from 1955 and makes your boobs look pointy. Don't buy it.

I'm a loyal Playtex bra wearer and depend on the good bras to help support my ample bosom. But I ordered three bras--three different styles--all the same size--all a D cup. The other two fit perfectly, but the cup size in 18-Hour Original Comfort Strap is off--it's too big, too loose. A C cup would be too small, so I'm stuck trying to shrink this new bra to fit right.

I have been wearing these bras for years. Always order the same size. I ordered the same size again and they came nowhere near fitting right. I had to return them.

The smell when I opened these bras was overpowering. It is some type of chemical or rubber smell. I have washed them in detergent twice, vinegar and baking soda once and soaked them in vinegar for a total of 24 hours. The smell is still there but diminished. If it were summer I'd hang them outside for a few days. The only reason I am keeping these bras is because my others were damaged beyond recognition in the wash. None of the local stores carry my size so I can't easily replace bras. I will never buy these bras again!
