Customer Reviews Playtex 18 Hour Front-Close Wirefree Bra w/ Flex Back US4695

I have been wearing these bras for decades. Something weird is happening with the last shipment of white ones I received. They come open, Usually when I am in public, With just one or two hooks at the bottom staying snapped. I think it was a batch that may have been sewn wrong. I switch off from beige to white so I know which are the oldest in a hurry. I have to have this brand so will change to beige. Hopefully all the bad white ones are gone now. Just wanted to s hare in case others had this happen to them.

This bra gives comfortable control. Unfortunately it still has straps that require someone else's help to adjust from behind. I would love to see this bra come out with straps that adjust in the front!

I love the 18hr bra but I wish it would come in a larger size. I only use front close bra because of shoulder problems, and I like the support I get from the 18hr bra. I made a spacer to use, but it would be great if I didn't have to.

Great support and lift!!! Wide straps and back. Hooks unhook at times!

I've worn this bra for years. It never disappoints. Outstanding support for full figured woman.

The front close is great, the support is great, the flex back is fine, but the shoulder straps are painful. Especially in larger sizes like mine, the buckle ends up being at the top of my shoulder by the end of the day and it digs in. I'd rather have less adjustability, making the connection lower on my back instead of on my shoulder. This happens with every bra that has adjustable straps, by the way. I'd be happy with an industry-wide modification! :-)

The bra wasn't as comfortable as expected. I have yet to be able to wear it for longer than 6 hours. I like that it lifts my breasts up but I don't like that they seem to be so close to my underarmd. Otherwise it stands up to its name. I would buy them again.

Was very surprised about the comfort of this bra. The support was also a surprise. The cups are smooth and not pointy as previous Playtex bras I have owned have been. I ordered two of these bras in white because there were no black ones available. Once the black comes in stock I will order one.

Great support & comfort. Would recommend to a friend.

I love this style and have worn for years BUT I am unable to find in my size the color BLACK online or at the retail stores for the past year or two and sometimes white and beige are not going to work. PLEASE offer and carry in stock.

the bra fits just fine ... however, the hooks are open too far and come open when trying to hook the next hook .... squishing with my teeth worked just fine

I bought these to wear after shoulder surgery. They are much easier to put on, offer great support, and are very comfortable to wear. But the placket with the hooks does not lay flat and is so stiff it protrudes through my clothes. While I'm recovering from surgery I don't really care, but later on I will need to be careful what I wear them under.

Front close bra was very new for me and I thought I wouldn't like its feel but I was wrong, it felt great

Back style is not my preferred. Straps are short.

This was a great way to purchase a Bra. The description was accurate and was received promptly.

It was a little slow getting delivered, otherwise the product was very good.

This is a good quality bra, but fits somewhat small. It is great if you have problems getting dressed with the hooks in back.

good fit, less back pain, good price...will do again (when needed)

I brought my bras last month. I am not completely satisfied. I think I should have gotten a different cup size. Other wise it's ok

The bras were exactly what I expected they would be. The fit was perfect. Back support ideal, good support from the straps and they are comfortable. Very happy.

I cannot get the bra I truly like in the size that I want. This bra for me would be better in a 46C, but it is too stiff.

I am wearing one of these right now. It is the best. HOWEVER--JMS no longer has it in my size---or anything else that I can wear. Please go back to carrying biggest sizes in Playtex! (52 DDD is what I need) I promise I'll send all of my beg friends to your website if you do. Pretty please. Saggy in Oregon

This is the only style bra I will wear anymore. I'm disabled with rheumatoid arthritis and can't reach behind me to fasten or adjust my bra anymore. I can easily put this bra on and fasten it. The flex back rarely needs any adjusting after putting it on so I can dress myself giving me back some independence. I'm also large chested (44DD) and need comfortable support. The straps are wide, cushioned, and adjustable enough to not cause my already painful shoulders any issues. I only have 2 complaints about this bra. First is the band size. I would highly recommend going up a band size. I first purchased this bra in a store and was therefore able to try them on. I'm so glad I did! I had to go up one band size from what I've worn in every other bra. Being a front closing bra with only one set of hooks, there's no adjusting the band. My other complaint is that the cups are un-lined thin material. I have to wear nipple covers with these bras with thinner or clingy shirts. I really wish you could get this bra with lined cups.

I bought this bra because with my old style, the straps kept falling down. No problem with that here.

I was ordering a similar bra with a regular back and liked my bras. When this bra arrived with the criss-cross back, I fell in love. Best bra ever!
