A Long and Arduous Search has Come to a Close
The twitter version: I love this bra and have been telling everyone I know to buy it!The long version: I have been searching for a good bra for nearly 15 years now, ever since I bought my first bra as a teenager. A genetic tendency to slouch, combined with a rounded midriff and size 40c has made it virtually impossible to find a bra that fits well. I tried boutiques. I tried department stores. The sizing ladies were baffled. They recommended expensive bras, the sizes fluctuating wildly from 38DD to 40D. There seemed to be no consensus as to what my size actually was. My best bet, they said, was an underwire bra that supported my back. I hate underwires, at best they are hard and at worst they are abrasive and pinch my skin. So the search continued.For a while I settled on a bra with no underwire and virtually no support. So I looked saggy but at least I was comfortable, right? Wrong. My tops didn't fit the way they were supposed to and I didn't feel pretty and feminine.I finally found these and they are literally the best of both worlds.- cheap- beautiful colors with understated yet sexy design- so comfy! I have sensory issues and I have NO problems whatsoever with this bra. It feels tight for like 10 seconds right after I put it on and then I literally DO NOT feel it for the rest of the day. Incredible.- padded shoulder straps. These are awesome! They are wide so they don't slip off, and cushioned so they don't dig into the skin.- despite having no underwire, they give amazing support! The first time I wore it, it did give me "bullet boobs" but after washing once or twice, they are beautifully rounded with a great shape and feel.- no scratchy lace. A big plus!- wide band keeps cups from sagging and makes it so easy to close hooks in back.- I bought a bunch of them and the quality was the same.In conclusion: My decades-long quest has ended, fair friends. Heed my words and partake in this bountiful treasure. I freaking love this bra.

Five Stars!
I've been wearing Playtex 18 Hour Comfort Strap bras since I was a teenager. I'm plus-sized with a large bust. So, a supportive and comfortable bra is very important. I can't stand underwire bras because the wires poke me in the ribcage, and I absolutely hate that! I prefer the comfort strap bras over the Just My Size bras anyway, because they're more substantial and last longer. Plus, with the comfort strap bras, I don't have to constantly stick my hands in my shirt to 'readjust' the girls like I have to do with the Just My Size bras and other cheaply made bras. The girls stay in place all day long. I love how the band underneath the cups prevent breast spillage. That's another annoying problem I have with cheap bras. The straps are wide, which I love, because I can't wear anything with narrow straps as narrow straps dig into my shoulders. For years, the Playtex 18 Hour Comfort Strap bras were only available in three colors: white, beige, and black. Now that they're finally available in a rainbow of cute, frisky, and even sexy colors, I plan to buy one in every cute color I like. I just wish that these bras were available in cute prints, such as, polka dots, stripes( horizontal and vertical), plaids, ginghams, leopard print, zebra print, camouflage, and even skulls. However, if I want a bra with skulls on it, I'll just have to buy some skull appliques and sew them on a solid color bra. Well anyway, this is the best wire-free bra on the market. I will continue to wear Playtex 18 Hour Comfort Strap bras as they are my favorite style.

Most comfortable bra yet!
Absolutely the most comfortable bra I have ever purchased! The shoulder straps have the perfect padding and the back strap is nice and thick, making it comfortable all day long! After receiving this one I choose to order 3 more in different colors! Order it, you won't regret it!

an improvement
I was ambivalent to try a wire free bra because over the years all of them have sucked. I decided to try this because of the good reviews. I just wore it for the first time today. the bottom strap is not stretchy and it was hard to hook. im glad its not stretchy. people have said that it does not soften and im glad it doesn't. ive been wearing bras long enough to know that the minute they soften, there goes any support or structure you had. I wanted one that did what it said and kept on doing it. I feel hopeful about this one. once I got it hooked, it was fine. and much to my surprise, it is holding my DD bewbies up. I never had that in a wireless before. nothing pinches or digs. the straps are staying up and that is such a button pusher for me. I feel a lot more confident with my sides and back with the slinky top I am wearing. of course it couldnt take away all of my flaws, but this is an improvement from my more pricey underwire bras.

Have used this style for years
For my shape, this bra is the best. It seems that Playtex still has this style and I was so happy they did. My old ones were years old but they fit so well I was hoping they'd still be around. I am large breasted so sometimes it's hard to find one that fits just right. This style does not have those nasty, uncomfortable underwires. It fits well with extra padding on the shoulders to help carry the heavy load. Although there is a seam across the cup, it doesn't show through to the clothes. The whole bra is just comfortable and I hope this style stays for a long time. A bra is not something I like shopping around for.

El ancho del torax
Tuve que devolverlo porque el diámetro del torax, que siempre usé el 36; me quedó pequeño!

The best bra out there for busty women
I have worn 18 hour bras for over 35 years. For the last 2-3 years I wanted something different. I tried so many other brands. Even high dollar brands and nothing supported me like the 18 hour. The straps are cushioned and the 4 hooks in the back help with the support. I don't like that I always have a line in the middle, but after investing a small fortune on trying other bras, I am going back to Playtex Women's 18 hour. I am a 40 DDD and could probably go to a G
