Promising review: "Love, love, love this bra! No more back problems! After trying every price point and brand available, I have finally found the perfect bra for a full-busted person. Recently, I have started to have backaches in the middle of my back and realized it was just where my bra band was situated. I remembered the old ads for the Playtex 18-Hour bra. After wearing much more expensive brands, I thought, 'Why not give it a try? If it isn't better I haven't lost much.' Wow! Was I surprised? The bra is built a little differently — in a good way. The straps are cushy and I don't even notice them. The band has a wide elastic back that supports without putting pressure on my back. I've been wearing this bra for a week now and have ordered two more. It is reasonably priced and has made a difference. I highly recommend it!" —South FloridaGet it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in cup sizes B–DDD, band sizes 36–44, and two colors).

And it can reduce your bust projection up to 1.5 inches.Promising review: "Why did no one tell me the wonders of minimizing bras?!? But all is forgiven now that my 38DD otherwise unwieldy breasts are now properly contained! All my life I've worn 'regular' bras, and all my life they've wiggled, jiggled, pooched over the cups, and I've hated them. But now, I might be OK with a larger chest! This bra is phenomenal. I'm DD, sometimes DDD, and wearing regular bras correctly sized was horrible. Professional fittings, those $70 bras I'd still look jiggly in and I'd still end up with boobage up out of the cup. Looked ridiculous. This bra nicely does whatever it does to push your breasts down enough that they don't pop out. But you don't look like you have smashed breasts or a uniboob! They stay nicely separated, I've worn it several times and not once had spillage over. I'm ordering two more, pleased as punch, FINALLY, after over 25 years of bra wearing, found what I didn't know I was missing! I hope someone else is able to have the joy of nicely contained boobs!" —3LittleFishGet it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in cup sizes C–DDD, band sizes 34–42, and seven colors).

Promising review: "Being a DDD cup, I have always had an underwire bra, and they end up poking me and are very uncomfortable. This bra is magic, and I'm beyond in love with it. No poking, no bulging, no lines, and great support. I love how you can remove the padding and crisscross the straps, so no slipping off my shoulders. It also has a smooth back. It's a miracle. I've already ordered more styles and colors. This will be the only bra I wear from now on. I can wear it all day and not even have to tug at it or adjust it. You need to run, not walk, to get these Honeylove bras." —Carol M. Get it from Honeylove for $64 (available in band sizes 30-44, cup sizes A-G, four styles, and 10 colors).

Promising review: "I'm a 36 DD or E, and even though it's not listed, I decided to give this a try, in size large. It showed up looking kind of small, but when I put it on, it was nice and stretchy. It's firm enough to hug you but not firm enough to give you bumps from digging into your skin. I was amazed I had support, my boobs look fantastic, and I even have some separation, the girls aren't crammed together in a uni-boob. I haven't had issues with sweat and I often forget I have this bra on. I'm ordering more of these — lots more." —PDX AliciaGet a two-pack from Amazon for $31.48 (available in sizes S–3X and in three color sets).

It's so comfy and I never have to adjust it because it's bothering me. Just enough padding that you don't see nipple bumps in a T-shirt. Sometimes I even continue to wear it after I get home from work, unlike others I would NEED to take off immediately the second I could. I will forget I'm wearing this!!! Highly recommend!!!" —Brandy LunnGet it from Amazon for $19.17+ (available in sizes S–3X and in six colors).

I highly recommend this very comfortable and beautiful bra!" —BSongGet it from Amazon for $41.30+ (available in sizes 34B–50H and in 11 colors)

Promising review: "I'm a 34DDD and after reading reviews I ordered at 36 and it's PERFECT!! It has six clasps on the back so it is snug. I jumped up and down moved my arms up and down and it didn't move. I love this bra. There's no padding at all, so if your shirts are sheer you'll show nips if you're nippin — good thing the '90s are back and that's kinda a thing now so I'm not too worried about it!! Love this bra, I'm buying more colors now!!!" —JakeGet it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in sizes 34–44 and in four colors).

It's the only bra I've purchased that's comfortable and I can wear it all day. It holds up! It keeps me in place and doesn't wear out like other bra brands." —King's QueenGet it from Amazon for $72 (available in sizes 30D–40K and four colors).

Promising review: "This bra is the most comfortable sports top I've ever worn. It's stylish and slimming. The straps do not cut into my shoulders and I love how they reveal my back for sun while working out. They do not squeeze my breasts together nor does this style show cleavage even though I'm a heavier woman. This bra does not cut into my ribcage and it's easy to put on, unlike other snug-fitting sports bras. I absolutely love this and will be ordering more in various colors for when I work outside in my garden or at my exercise classes." —Michelle HGet it from Old Navy for $14.99+ (originally $29.97; available in sizes XS–4X and 12 colors).

Promising review: "After reading the reviews on this bra, I did as suggested and ordered mine one cup size smaller. This bra is super comfortable and the fit is amazing! I usually wear a 44G so it's hard to find a bra that fits just right. Most bras at this size are made for women with ridiculously long torsos, or the straps dig, or there's at least one thing uncomfortable about them. Not this bra! I love it! So much that I bought seven more!" —PurpleSynGet it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in sizes 36B–50I and 15 colors).

Promising review: 'I am large-busted and haven't bought a strapless bra in years. Every other one I've ever tried has either been so tight it was uncomfortable, or slipped down all the time. But I fell in love with a dress that requires a strapless bra so I gave this one a shot. First, the bra fit just as expected — not too large or small. It is so comfortable that honestly, I forgot I was wearing a strapless bra after a bit. Also, it stays in place all day, no slipping or tugging. It came at a good price with good quality. I can't recommend this bra highly enough!' —StacieGGet it from Amazon $29.99+ (available in band sizes 32–46, cup sizes B–DD, and in 29 colors).

I love that the padding is sewn in place, so you don't have to worry about removing them or worse trying to get them back in place! It offers great support for running, but is cool and comfortable enough to just wear when you don't feel like wearing a regular bra. This bra stays in place and holds *everything* in place as you run, exercise etc. and all at a great price. I highly recommend trying this sports bra!" —TamaraGet it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and in 43 colors).

Playtex 18 Hour bras are genuinely so comfortable you can wear them all day and night, if need be." —Susan L.Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in band sizes 34–54, cup sizes B–G, 19 colors, and various sets of two).
