Maidenform Women's Pure Genius Convertible Strapless Bra with Coolform Technology - Comfortable T-Shirt Bra for Everyday Wear, Workout & Special Occasions

Both my daughter and l love this bra.l bought this bra for my 36 year old daughter. She had only shopped at Victoria's Secret and they just didn't fit her. Finally she came to me and said "Can you please find me a bra that will be comfortable, especially on the shoulders, and actually fits me". She is a 38DD. If you know anything about V.S than you know they only go up to a D cup. So since l always shop for everything on Amazon ,it made sense to check here. When l saw this bra l knew it was the one. It is the most amazing bra. She can wear it strapless. Which l never thought l would see on her. She came over to see the bra expecting the worst and tried it on. She told me " Mom,l never thought l could wear something like this, and it's so comfortable." I showed her how to do all the different strap ways and since she was wearing a halter top that day l fixed it like that. I'm not kidding,l can't remember seeing her smile little that in years. I'm pretty sure she has worn it every day,l had better order more.I almost sent this back, as it seemed too tight at first. But I hadn't worn a strapless in many many years. And I realized, it would have to be tight to do the job at my age lol...so I tried it and ended up really liking it a lot. In fact its become one of my favorite bras. It looks great under tee shirts, and it STAYS PUT. At my size (36 DD) and age, that's a miracle. My only complaint is that I do sometimes wear it with the straps, and they frequently get unhooked when I'm wearing them, Any hints on that?The cups, being lined, took a little getting used to and I shouldn't have used the second row of hooks but otherwise I liked being able to wear my halter style tunics without having bra staps showing. There was definitely more room in the cups then I needed but that did not show through the fabric and I felt very supported. The silicone strips on the back worked very well holding the bra in place and I did not feel the underwire very much. With the addition of clear bra straps I also purchased I felt very comfortable wearing a strapless bra for the first time!I really like this bra, I purchased 2 of these over a year ago, the quality is really good, the only thing that I believe could be improved are the thin silicone straps that go around the back and stick to the skin, they are a little itchy. Other than that this product is fantasticMy only problem with this bra is the placement of the loops for the straps in front. But, it's the same problem I have with all convertable bras...The straps either hook out by my armpits or in my cleavage. I always have to sew a new set on near the top of the cup. But, once I did that, this bra worked perfectly with many different dresses, especially if I use clear straps. All in all, this was a great buy.I bought this bra in a store and loved it soo much I searched online for it and bought another one. The fit is the best I gave ever had with a strapless. Ladies here is my trick to having no back fat with strapless bras...get a cup size bigger and wear ghe bra as loose as you can. Use some inserts if you need to fill out the cups.this bra sits down nicely and doesn't cut accross your chest ... leaving that awful "I'm wearing a poor fit strapless" line...like almost all others I've tried...and the back straps have extra flexible support.I had a very hard time finding the right strapless bra. I bought this to wear under a dress and with a 38DD I found it difficult to find a great fit and the support I wanted. This bra gave me all that and more. It is comfortable and the fit is perfect, it supports and gives me the shape that I want. I found this same bra in the stores for double the price so this was a great deal. I would highly recommend this bra especially to those of us with larger bust sizes.The fit is good (I'm a 32 or 34D or DD), and I like that the straps are convertible - the main reason I bought this one. I love Maidenform bras, and expected this one to be super comfy like the others. Because it can be strapless, there is a rubber/plastic strip on the inside to help it "adhere" to your skin and keep it up. Its very uncomfortable. It rubs and irritates my skin. I can't wait to peel it off myself at the end of the day. Its the only strapless/convertible bra I have right now, so it'll have to do. Not terrible, but I'm not jumping up and down over it.
