Customer Reviews Playtex Curves Original Balconette Underwire Full Coverage Bra

Very comfortable and flattering. There are subtle differences between all of the bras; some are almost the same, and others just don't cut it. Best plan to order a few, try them all on, and return the ones that don't work for you. I was surprised at the different fits just because I ordered different colors. I usually don't shop online, but the store didn't have the one I wanted.

Love this bra. It is comfortable, smooth under shirts, and makes my bust look amazing. This is the only style I buy anymore.

Comfortable, great support, sturdy and comfy shoulder straps that don't wear out. The only part that finally wears out is the elastic of the bands on the back. Everything else is perfect. I've never had an underwire come out. And the back bands take forever to wear out, so this is a compliment, not a complaint. I use mesh lingerie bags to wash each bra, and hang dry on plastic hangers. They dry overnight with a fan running in the room.

Great fit, delivered quickly, high quality!

I love this bra, gives good support and beautiful shape

Comfortable with nice lift. Doesn't allow show through, but isn't heavily padded. In my opinion, it is better for someone with wider set breasts.

Love this bra it is so comfortable

Great coverage and support. Long lasting. Repeat buyer

By far this is one of the most comfortable bras I have ever had. I am not "symmetrical," and yet the fit for me is perfect. I have purchased four more of these and will definitely purchase more in the future.

This bra has amazing lift with great back support. I love the extra padding on the straps, and the shape looks so great. Works wonderfully under almost any style of top. Could not be more happy with this bra - I now own 4 and will likely order more. Loveee this fit and find!

Supportive, comfortable and fits perfectly. Easy to wash and easy to wear. Smooth under the thinnest tee shirts.

Very happy with the fit and look of this bra.

LOL I bought two of these bras, one in a beigey shade and one in black. OMG these are perfect! They fit perfectly, and boy, do they hold the girls up! I don't know when the last time was that I looked this good in a shirt! (I'm 61y.o., 42D). Will definitely purchase again.

Good, versatile bra for everyday wear. Pretty, supportive and comfortable.

The bra with style and comfort. Fits beautifully.

This bra holds me up and it so comfy!

I have worn the balconet before but did not know about sister sizes until talking to your helpful associate I love this fit even better

I bought my first one in the Hanes store in the mall some years ago and I have been happy ever since. I have long, somewhat saggy boobs that needs a bra that gives me lift, makes my boobs look like boobs, won't smash them in, will give a round appearance under shirts and gives them space to breathe. I hate having them squeezed, especially in the summer time. I look great in this bra. I am a 36 C, low D but I purchase DD because my boobs are long and I have side boobs. This bra covers everything and sometimes gives lite cleavage when necassariy. This might be the bra for me for the rest of my life.

This bra wins hands down for comfort and support! I hope you never discontinue this style as it is the best I have ever owned. I will clarify, however, that the bras with the satin strip across the top are the best fitting. It is the only style that I own. The jacquard and the lace front are just not cut the same and do not carry this same kind of comfort. I am much more prone to spilling over the top with those styles. Back to the smoother styles with the satin strip, they are premium as far as I am concerned!

Fits great, feels great, make my boobs look great. What more could you want?

As I age my boobs sag more and more. This bra keeps them in their rightful place, minus the pinching or discomfort. I truly happy!

This provides good support, but cuts in a bit under the arms so loses a star on comfort. Does a good job, but it's one that needs to be removed promptly at the end of the day.

I bought this bra when I was a bit heavier.

This is the only bra I use. Nice looking, Supports, underwire works, shoulder straps are quite good. The only issue I have is that the underwires break so that means I need to throw the bra away. It might be better to make the underwires either thicker or from a plastic of some kind so they aren't as breakable. For the price--I really can't complain!!! thanks for making these bras.

I really like this bra. I like the way it lifts and the coverage. However, the band is much smaller than other Playtex bras in the Secrets line. It is ok for me on the last row of hooks, but if you normally wear your bras on the last row, it will be too small. Size up one band size and you should be good.
