SHAPERMINT Bras for Women - Bras for Women no Underwire, Bralettes for Women Plus Size, Wireless Push up Bra

Love this bra! So comfortable and gives great support without being tight. I’m a big girl and wear a 40 DD. This is the first bra that I found that actually holds my breasts in place without spilling over the cups, shoulder straps digging into shoulders or pinching under the arms. While I wouldn’t recommend them for workouts, I find them sturdy enough to not worry about running if I needed to.I ordered 2 to try and loved them! Ordered 5 more without a delay. I don’t even think I had washed the first 2 before picking out 5 more in various colors.The fabric is light weight and soft to the touch. There is little padding, just enough to make them comfortable without adding to the size.I washed them all in my machine with no issues using a lingerie bag and the washability is wonderful! Not a problem at all!

I've seen this brand advertised so much all over the internet and really want something to be between the work day bra and at home freedom... personally I wear a wired bra because it's been the only thing to hold up the girls I felt. Then I tired this. It is SOOOOO COMFURTABLE! and the girls aren't up as high as usual but high enough. Lol I wear a 38dd and am very self conscious. If your on the tipping point want to try but worried to... try it. The clasp in the back and the adjustable straps amazing. It's definitely a no bra feel with a bra wearing support. Treat your self. Also... I definitely put it through all the rough jumping and movement to see if it would hold and they held perfectly .

I like this bra, generally. The padding is very adequate so no show-through. I like how the pads are NOT removable, but sewn into the bra. The color makes it invisible under my clothing. The band is OHHSO comfy. Like "buttah," haha. I can sleep in this bra with no binding or irritation. It washes well and seems of good quality.Now what I don't like. The straps are not stretchy enough, and they are positioned outward on the bra where one of them falls down off my shoulder occasionally. More stretchy, inward-sitting straps don't do this.THE BAND SIZE! So, my personal band size falls in between the sizes, so I have to use a band extender (which I will admit, thankfully, that Shapermint provides). All that extra "stuff" on my back can be irritating when sitting in a chair, and visible when I wear a thinner blouse. That is the reason for the four stars. If Shapermint fixed this issue, I would order more of these bras.

Wow, where to start? With the positive or the negative? The negative will outweigh the positive yet there is almost always some good if you look hard enough. Also included is a Mystery.Mystery: Is “truekind” the same as Shapermint? All the labeling says “truekind” (lowercase T); the stamped labeling on the bra (see photo), and the bra tags. Maybe you who create the ads could have some truth in advertising and state that it is “truekind sold by Shapermint”?The Positive: Very well constructed from a seamstress' point of view. It’s very soft (as opposed to being scratchy), it’s thick fabric (not flimsy) and stretchy (nicely stretchy), and it’s crazy comfortable. The straps are wide enough and do not dig in. The band does not dig in and leave red marks. It felt good on my skin. Nice color (Rose Tan) for me. It comes with a bra extender which I will not need but I can use it with another brand of bra I own that has become a little tight. It is stretchy and snug like a good pair of leggings, but not like compression leggings or stockings. Not that kind of tight. It is a comfort bra, maybe closer to being a leisure bra.The Negatives: I probably should have sent it back after trying it on, but it was so… comfortable! and soft! and… well, I’m out $29 and of course it went “on sale” ($3 cheaper) after I received it. I could not decide what I wanted to do (keep or send back) so I wore it all day (around the house). I even left the tags on. I had not planned on wearing it all day. I so wanted it to work for me. By the end of the day, I didn’t feel right returning it, as it was no longer factory clean. Like people who buy a dress, leave the tags on, wear it to a party, and then return it. I can't do that and live with myself.I ordered the 4x. FIRST thing that was obvious to me is that this is NOT an H cup AT ALL. It is definitely a G and maybe even leaning towards a DDD (aka F). I can’t use the band at the bottom as the intended band at the bottom… because the cups would not cover my breasts if I did. The band now becomes an extension of the cup. Which makes it closer to an H cup. But it would need to be a triple width band to make it closer to normal coverage (like the model in the Rose Tan picture shows). And YES, I did order “my size”. If I were to place it on my girls to mimic the way it covers the top of the models breasts, the girls would slide out the bottom while I am active (as opposed to sitting quietly). The bottom line is the size chart LIES about the sizing. Of course not for everyone, but it’s a big fat LIE claiming it fits an H cup.SECOND, the straps are too long. I’m 5’10” and the straps are too long. And not adjustable. If I pull the back down to raise the front, the back slides up after awhile. I can't make the band tighter, it’s already the tightest setting. And it were tighter, it would not be comfortable. Which brings me to…THIRD: I’m a 44 band and I have it on the tightest set of hooks. Not good because it should be on the loosest set of hooks, or at least in the middle; so when it stretches out over time and needs to be a bit tighter I can make it tighter. I can’t go to a 3X because the cups would be even smaller.FOURTH: While it is a comfort bra, it travels too much. The back slides up and the front with its long straps slide down. Melon sacks. At best it restricts movement just enough so the girls are not swinging around when I move.Fifth: Normally I am not a fan of foam cups yet the shape of them is not bad even though they are not even close to an H cup. Most all foam cups are not my natural shape. Nor are these… they still throw some of the volume out to the sides.Verdict? Be honest about what brand this is, and have some truth in sizing instead of trying to suck customers in who are on the outer edges of sizing.
