Is this the bra?

Me too, sal! Underwires are a thing of the past!!

I wish I could wear something like that, but my girls require heavy metal.

Annie, me too. But the model they show looks pretty full figured. I might try it.

With some of the newer types of fabric even full figured women can wear bras without wires it will all depend on how they are cut. I am old enough to remember bras with underwires only available at "certain stores". I have never been able to wear them because of the distance between the band and my armpit. Beyond the elastic type you can also find regular fabric ones where a band of fabric goes where the wire is. If you wear a sports bra without wires you can wear these comfort bras because they are patterned after them but slightly less tight. Being very top heavy and hating pain I gave up the underwires many years ago I find versions of balcony bras as long as the straps can be adjusted so that the band not the strap carries the weight.

Well, I'm looking at the reviews. I get good lift from my sports bra without wires, but it's built like a tank. This review suggests this bra has very little support:

Not sure this even qualified as a bra. Offered no protection at all. To me wearing this item is the equivalent of not wearing a bra.

And for me I'd be concerned about fit...one review suggests the problem I would expect would be, get the right band size and the cups are too small, fit the cups and the band is too big. At a 34 DD or DDD, don't see how it's designed to accommodate my size. And looking at the size chart, I fall on the cusp between a M and a L...

I know my GF, who is not so well endowed as I, loves these 'bralets' and swears by them. Would that I could.

happy to b yes that's the one. I buy the 3x--xxx cup. I did wear a 38D in regular. ones. It's' like you have nothing on.

I agree, Annie. For those that are well endowed, but a smaller band size there is no way to get a good fit with this and similar bras. Underwire or a suit of armor type sports bra is what is needed to prevent catching nipples under the waist band or worse yet knee bouncing. I have described my girls as 3 lbs of warm mashed potatoes in 4 lb bags. Wired bras are a must to make them at least look perky!

I wonder about the protection comment having heard something similar from someone who thought the padding in a padded bra added protection. It might but not much.

Haha lgmd! You remind me of the old Phyllis Diller joke that her MIL had a pain under her left breast...turned out to be a trick knee!

It may have been me. That's all I wear for years now.

I just ordered one. Haven't worn one since the early 1980's. What I've found is that the elastic in them irritate my skin. Will try again!

I wish I could wear something like these, but at size 42 J I need something heavy duty.

I love the Hanes and Jockey bralettes. In hot humid weather you can remove the pads and they are more comfortable. I have a Jockey bralette that is nice because it has adjustable skinny straps and I can wear it with bateau neck shirts without having the straps show. It’s easy to find and very similar to the Hanes. It runs small so order a size up.

Yes the do run small. If your able to try them on do it.
