Customer Reviews Playtex Curves Original Balconette Underwire Full Coverage Bra

Supportive and Comfortable

I think this is cute but I'm having issues with the bras where the strap meets the cup digging into my skin. I can't seem to find something that works. Figured Playtex would be good as my previous bras were from Playtex and didn't dig. Frustrated customer.

I've worn this bra for many years. I wear a 40 D and this bra gives me excellent support and great shape.

Love this one . Fits , comfortable.

I wear 36DDD and sometimes 38DDD as the 36DDD is hard to find. I purchased this bra over 2 years ago and love the way it fits and supports; BUT, Playtex you need to work on the straps. Since the cups are very supportive, when tension is taken off the straps they fall off my shoulder. I have tried tightening more, but then it hurts my shoulders. Overall, a good bra.

I tried the C cup and it was too small so I ordered a D and it was too big. If this bra had 4 back hooks instead of 3 it would be slightly higher under the armpit and in back where this bra leaves all the back fat everywhere! Second problem is the adjustable parts of the bra are plastic which tends to break easily. Overall it is comfortable for an underwire which I won't usually wear because they dig in but not on this one.

I want to love this bra so bad

Mostly satisfied.. one of the bras purchased has something on the hook that is very irritating. Can't wear

liked the bra but had to order in smaller cup size. A DDD works in other Playtex bras but was way too big in this one.

Love the playtex bras; they fit perfectly. They lift everything in a just so way, and they are flattering under any kind of shirt!

It's comfortable.

Normally love this bra but, now that I'm up to a 38G, it really cuts into my shoulders. Otherwise, it's the best fitting bra I've been able to find

While this has great support, i think the band size runs small. I compared it to the Flower Bali that I bought. I ordered a Playtex Balconette in 40G, and the band measurement was 30 inches. For the Flower Bali I ordered in 40DDD, the band measured 35 inches. a big difference. Since I like the support, i made an extender so I could wear this Playtex Balconette.

The wires don't poke- me or out -but I have occasional trouble with keeping the straps up on my shoulders, depending on what I'm doing.

I love this bra...but ive had to order several different sizes to get my fit......every bra i order from here is sized way too small.....the band and straps are too short

This bra works okay for me. It meets my needs although not my favorite (favorite always seems to be sold out or never on sale). Straps stay in place, it doesn't ride, provides coverage for no show through shirts.

Comfortable for an underwire, shoulder straps could be padded on top as not to dig in.

I bought this, in white. bad news: was expecting a contrasting lace. Not so, white on while. Can barely distinguish. good news: underwire is not poking into my boob.

I love these bras. The material is nice, straps are more comfortable than others, they shape well BUT the wires break within a month or so. Can you make the wires the same quality as the Playtex Secrets Underwires that have the jacquard fabric?

This bra fits well. The underwire is comfortable. The bra has thicker padding than I expected from the pictures.

I like the feel of the bra, the support and coverage. I am upset that the underwire broke already and the bra is newer, I have only worn it 3 times.

Great bra but beware of the Jacquard Print ones as the back is mesh and quite uncomfortable.

. The cups on the 42 B are much too big - It seems that the designers graded up the cup depth when they made the band circumference longer for the 42". I ended up giving it to a co-Worker who typically wears a 40 C - she loves it - fabric is fabulously But she laughed when she saw how big the cups were, knowing I could never Fill them

I returned this because it's not right for me. It does support beautifully, with a natural shape, but I just want something to wear to the office and be comfortable. This makes me a little too shapely, like va-va-voom. It is "amazing", but that's not what I need. Also, for the minute I had it on, it wasn't at all comfortable, but that could be because I'm not used to underwires.

I love the features of this bra. I can't seem to get the right size when I order online. I bought two tried on one and thought it was okay, but later realized it was too big! Kept " bumping" into the oversized cups when I moved my arms!
