PLAYTEXWomen's 18 Hour 4695 Front-Close Wirefree Bra with Flex Back

I had to get a front close bra when I injured my shoulder. I was wearing a 40G in the regular bra, and these only go up to DDD. I ordered a 42DDD and the fit is perfect. These are very comfortable, easy to hook, and they offer the same support as my hook in back bras.

I really wanted this to fit, but it just didn't fit well, and was uncomfortable. I had shoulder surgery and wanted a front close bra, but this one just wasn't fitting me well. Unfortunately it was returned.

The bra fits well but needs more strap to allow for shou adjustment. The short strap pulls it up under the armpit and is uncomfortable

This is an update to my December 8th review when I rated the bra at two stars. I never did wear this bra out of the house, but I was determined to have it fit properly so that I could comfortably wear it outside of the house. I purchased a pack of the 6 hook bra extenders. The use of 1 extender was not successful in adding enough room to connect the front of the bra properly! When I used 2 bra extenders, the fit was what I had been hoping for from the time I ordered it -- a front closure with a firm fit. However, there was still the issue of hooking the bra while still trying to keep the lace that covered the line of hooks, free from damage while manipulating each set of hooks for proper, and successful closure. The first three hooks, beginning from the bottom, were hooking successfully. In trying to hook the fourth hook, the third hook unhooked itself and continued to do so every time I hooked the ones above it. I switched to hooking them from the top, but the success of that technique was dismal, because the hooks, both above and below unhooked themselves. The entire incident was a lesson for me in ordering underwear online -- unless it's the very design and size I have ordered no more than 6-9 months before, I need to skip it in favor of trying it on in a store that carries the item, which would allow me to know before I leave the store the design, size and firmness of the item I'm shopping for.Review I wrote in early December: Historically, I've purchased this bra a number of times, but at the time it was an underwire. I measured to assure I was going to have a correct size. I wanted a bra that would give me independence from relying on my husband to hook my bra in the back. Unfortunately, I have a major issue that prevents me from hooking my bra in the front also. I'm very disappointed to find that this bra won't allow me to put it on and hook it closed. I have arthritic hands, and my hands have weakened with age. I was able to loosen the straps to give me more room. I used a four hook bra extender I had on hand, and that wasn't able to do the job. I have on order a six hook extender and I hope that will allow me to manage getting the bra on. For all of you thinking about purchasing this bra, it's important to know why this bra may not be satisfactory for some women. In order to describe how the bra is made to avoid relying an underwire it has higher sides and a taller back for extra side and back support, fuller cups and wide straps. Plus, a criss cross flex elastic back that adjusts for an all day custom fit. In order to make the bra more attractive, there is a pattern on the front of the bra, and lace has been added. The major issue with the lace is that it is added up and down the six hook closure, and it lays over the hooks to hide that they are there. I can not move the hooks that need to close the bra together. There's too much resistance so that without the full use of my hands , the bra'sconstruction fails me. Having to move the lace out of the way in order to get to the line of hooks is impossible with the condition of my hands. I'm not able to pull the front of the bra . The criss cross elastic design that creates the flex support in the back is, simply too stiff. Additionally, the lace just won't stay clear of the the hooks for me to get them hooked. Having said all of that, for the great majority of women, this bra might be the one of choice. We all are different.SEE UPDATE --> One star review update: 01/05/2022

Nice looking bra with good stretch, but did not realize it woulld wear more like a vest. LOL I am old, short, and fat and I had to fight with it for 20 min to get the hooks to stop coming unhooked while hooking the one above. I tell you it was so wild I dont need to exercise anymore. lol I only need to try and put this bra on. I thought for sure wearing it would prove to be just as comical, but it is comfortable but it is too much bra. It peeks slightly above my circle neck line on my tee shirt and it is a average neck line and not a low cut circle neck line. So unless you are tall and have more chect area from sternim to neck this would probably not be a product for you.

I was buying these elsewhere and was paying twice as much for the same product and found it here for a lot less. It’s the same exact thing but I think the thing I like most about this was the price it’s comfortable and the front closures are very very helpful.

This model is just the ticket for a person who relies on a supportive bra with proper back support, who dislikes underwires but who has limited mobility, requiring a front-close feature. This has become My every day daytime and evening bra! Several colors make it adaptable for every outfit.

Muy bien, buena calidad, fiel a la talla, llegó en el tiempo indicado

Cómodo y confortable, muy buen soporte

When you order your exact cup size you have a good fit.
