Hanes Women's Wireless T-shirt Bra, Moisture-wicking Convertible Smoothing Bra, Full-coverage

First of all, I am 5' 7", 120lbs, and would be wearing a size 36 D bra normally. I wear size L in this brand and style. I could probably get away with XL as well, but M is uncomfortable for me. While I find this bra to provide plenty of support for my day to day, anyone with larger breasts might not.This is the most comfortable all day, everyday bra I have ever found, and I've tried just about all of them. Plus, it's pretty much the only bra I can wear without it causing back pain.Let me explain.I have been dealing with back and shoulder pain for years now, and one of the things I've struggled with is that the bands on most bras feel very painful regardless of size. Of course, something too small will be uncomfortable, but the correct band size and even too large sizes all cause my back to hurt where they make contact with the muscles of my back. They also make me feel as if I can't breath properly. It's very weird. I have been professionally fitted multiple times - which always ended up with me feeling like my time and money have been wasted as I still can't wear whatever sizes and styles they recommend - and I've worked with many physical therapists over the past decade trying to figure it out, but at this point I've given up hope that it'll ever get better. It is what it is.Awhile back I decided to give this bra style a try and, fortunately, found it to be exactly what I needed. Of the ones I've tried, this particular brand and style have been the most comfortable for me. Something about the narrower band, just the right amount of elasticity, and softness of the material means that I can get through a day without the (at times severe) pain that other bras cause. I've also found that the S/M/L/XL etc. sizing, adjustable straps, and back clasps work way better for me than the traditional band numbers and cup sizes.I've ordered several of these bras over the past 8 years. They have held up pretty well considering the fact that I wash them on regular wash and dry them on high heat. In other words, I don't treat them as delicates. So far it's been one of the metal clasps things on the back breaking off or the tab on the front connector for one of the straps snapping off that has caused me to replace the ones I've needed to replace, and that has typically only happened after more than a year of regular use.One more thing I'll mention, though. For some reason, the buff/light pink color is the most comfortable of the ones I've tried while the heather grey is the least comfy.

Finally a wireless bra that fits properly, has adjustable straps & hook/eye back closure! I wear a 38/40C with a wider rib cage but not broad shoulders; kind of a straight frame instead of curvy. I can’t stand pullovers that get rolled up, uni-boob, etc. LOVE that the material is stretchy with adjustable straps (if you too are a little uneven). This offers me a more customizable fit. It is also convertible. The straps stay on the shoulders thankfully! I find 99% similar looking wireless bras lack structure, straps can be too wide set & slip off constantly. Surprisingly nice lift for such a comfy bra too! No uni-boob look, good quality and stitching. The material is not thick nor padded yet discreet for my wardrobe. If you wear thin blouses & have nip issues maybe(?) you’ll need one of those discreet nipple things. I haven’t had any negative visibility issues. I tried a nauseating amount of bras over the past month & now happy. So affordable too. I’m buying 3 more for the price I used to pay for one of the more advertised brands. Hope they never discontinue. 5⭐️

STYLE: If you're looking for a bra with minimal support, no padded cups and no wires, this is a good choice. The straps seem a bit short, as I have to adjust them all the way to the end to the longest position. It's comfortable and provides sufficient support for someone with small breasts.SIZE: I have a broad back and athletic build (145 lbs, 5'4"). I wear a small cup size (38A) so it's hard to find bras to fit, as most As end at size 36. I've been buying this same Hanes bra for years and have always worn a Medium and it's a perfect fit.However, This time I bought this bra in grey, size Medium but when the grey bra arrived it was way too tight, so I returned it and exchanged it for a Large grey and that one was also tighter than how the Medium tan alway fits but it fits good enough. (Note: my body has stayed the same size.)The code numbers on the inside of the tan and grey bras are all the same, but the materials are different:Tan bra - 64% Nylon, 30% Polyester, 6% SpandexGrey bra - 80% Nylon, 15% Polyester, 5% SpandexSo maybe that changes the way the material stretches.Buy one size larger if you choose the grey material.

Beware, the bra runs very small. I am 5'3", 135, a wide set B-cup, but with a larger ribcage and muscular shoulders/upper back (I'm an avid bicyclist), so typically I already size up to a large for these kinds of things. The large looked like the training bra I had when I was 12, I actually got a good laugh out of it. My boobs fit because the material there is very stretchy but the straps were way too short and the band was too tight. However, I did really like the material, it is very soft, lightly lined, and offers medium support.So, I returned the L and skipped right past the XL to the XXL which I will keep. Honestly, the cups didn't get much bigger which wasn't a problem for me at a B-cup, honestly that part fits perfectly, but if you're bigger than that it's going to be a tough squeeze. The band is stretchy and comfortable with room to spare, the XL band probably would have fit very well as well. Band doesn't fold up or dig in, and lasted comfortably through a 5-mile summer hike going at a moderate pace.The straps though, who are these made for?? Really didn't get much longer from size L, I got it to work obviously, but they seriously need to consider lengthening them, especially for the racer-back convertible feature of the bra which is one of the reasons I bought it. If you have any extra "cushion" on your shoulders or upper back it might be a tight fit.
