Customer Reviews Playtex 18 Hour Ultimate Lift and Support Wire Free Bra US474C

Fit is not as good as the Playtex nylon type bras, but like the cotton material feel

Good feel. Love the fabric. Still not chaff proof for larger women

I purchased the bra because cotton! Unfortunately the cup lining is not cotton, feels like nylon, so I was a bit disappointed. However, the band is cotton, which makes a big difference in comfort for me, and I found wearing it all day was very comfortable. The bra gives the same shape as the other 18-hour Ultimate Lift and Support bra. As with the 18-hour Ultimate Lift and Support bra, the straps are quite short on this model. This is great for me because I have a shorter waist and am curvy (5'5"). I've found that after a few wears the straps do relax some, but I could see the shorter strap length being a problem for a taller woman.

love how the bra feels and the longer I have this on the better it feels. but i don't quite fill the cups. wish they made this in A cup

It seems like a cheapened version of the downtimer bra that I bought a few years ago...it's comfortable & supportive and survived the washing machine.

I like the feel of the cotton, I like the back closure, and I like the lack of underwire. But the cup is sized weirdly (it's puckery toward the top), and the band keeps sliding up in back, even at the tightest setting.

I love how comfortable this bra is. The only thing i dont like is that the cup lining wrinkles.

It is comfortable

It is what I was looking for. Very comfortable and hold tight.

Wish they would carry in nude again other than that it is a good bra and comfortable.

By Goddess this thing is sturdy, a good choice for a lady lumberjack ;) ! I am normally a 36C, but I wear 36B in this design.

I don't like the silk lining in that bottom edge curls up

Nice bra but the shoulder straps were short

I like the fact they're cotton but gave a lower rating because they run smaller than my size I ordered.

Wrong size, will have to be returned

Sizing is off for me. I feel like I need a size smaller band, but the straps are already too short on the bigger size when let out as far as they go. I'm 5' tall and wearing a 46DDD, as tight as the hooks will allow. If the 44DDD straps are shorter than this one, it wouldn't fit. Still up in the air about returning the other 2 I ordered.

I ordered these for my senior Mom. She has trouble putting on her clothes due to Dementia. She is having trouble finding a bra that doesn't seem to hurt her rib part.

I do like the cotton bra and I sent the one back I didn't wear. Reason for a 3 the straps are too short and they do dig into my shoulder. I saw other people's review with the same thing about the straps.

Not sure if anyone else has experienced this...I measure a 40, but it was too tight. So, I tried 42 and it's too loose. Very frustrating!

Ordered recommended size based on Hanes questionnaire and bra cup was too large.

Smaller than what size states but over the years I have learned I should order up a size to get the size I really need. I didn't do that this time and have laundered and worn. I need to wear on last hooks.

After reading, you will wonder why I kept this bra but it is not too bad. I will repeat myself from another review and say... Why do bra companies think there are no women out here that wear a C cup or above, want a comfortable bra with shoulder padding and NEED a small band? The smallest band in this is a 36 and I would really like at least a 34. This bra seemed to be smaller so I am testing it out. I hope the band doesn't stretch. I am looking for a comfortable bra with a wider back which means more hooks. I also want a wider shoulder strap for cushioning. This bra has those but I agree with a multitude of reviewers in that the straps are too short. By the time you let the straps out all the way so they don't pull the band up, the wider area on the strap is in front and not on your shoulders. The seam where the elastic joins the wider part hits right on the shoulder. Ouch. It would be fine for the straps to stretch out. The bra is primarily cotton and the band is covered so it is nice that no elastic is next to your skin. The inside of the cups are nylon or something like that and as in other reviews, they DO wrinkle like the outside of the cup is smaller than the inside. The cups have a nice wide coverage as you can see by the photo. I like everything in place not wedging out. I think a brown or beige color would be really nice. White? Ugh The good part is I can wear this bra for a while, so far. It gives nice support so if I can tolerate the shoulder straps AND it doesn't stretch in the band, I will buy more.

Not wildly in love with these. I hoped the cups would be more stretchy but the lining keeps that from happening. I absolutely hate all bras. I haven't found a comfortable bra in my almost 69 years on this planet.

Didn't like these once I received they have very little support and the band stretch out after a few hours of wear. Good to wear around the house like a sports bra but not as a regular bra for support.

I agree with others, the lining on inside of cups needs to be sewn down to stay in place, otherwise nice bra
