Promising Amazon review: “I love, love, love this bra! It has no closure at the back so it completely eliminates that unsightly bulge of back fat. Plus it is super comfortable and very supportive of my saggy middle aged 5’5″ 160-pound 38DD body. I feel more confident in this bra because it fits me just perfectly with no extra bulges on the sides or back.” — Amazon customer
Promising Amazon reviews: “Great fit, comfort, and sizing is exactly like the size chart. The side panels hide the side roll especially under t-shirts and sweaters.” — Bettina
“This bra is my absolute favorite. It is supportive and comfortable. It looks smooth under my clothes. I like that it gives shaping higher on the sides than most bras. I think it gives a more flattering shape that way.” — Jacqueline E Weber
Promising Amazon reviews: “This is the best bra I have found so far. It is so soft and silky and comfortable. The color is amazing. And there is a tiny bit of push-up in the cup. The back is smoothing and I can’t speak enough about how comfortable it is. I am a nursing mom and I choose to wear this over nursing bras. I loved it so much that I bought another one on sale. You can’t be the price I got mine for $21.” — Shelby Meier
“I love that this is a wireless bra. It does very well in smoothing problem areas on your back. Very comfortable. Plan on buying a few more in other colors. Very happy with this purchase.” — Sara
Promising Amazon review: “I have searching high and low for YEARS for a bralette type that can fit those high alphabet bra sizes, but to no avail. I took a chance on these because they were on sale, and baby!!! I have one in every color! It’s so comfortable when you don’t want to wear your “harness” but you don’t want these puppies dragging the floor, ya dig?! I have worn these in the house, and even when I go out, I feel comfortable in it. It also smooths out them back phat rolls- I’ve recently lost 50 pounds, but I still got about 2 1/2 rolls on each side! It was a good deal, and you should definitely try them out! MAKE sure you get the right size!!! If you follow that sizing guide, it was right on the money.” — Samantha Moore
Promising Amazon review: “Ok so I’m a 42C which is such a difficult bra size to find in any store. Last few purchases the fit was always off. I always see videos on how a bra should fit properly. Never have experienced the perfect fit… Until now! I bought 3 because of the price and I needed bras and kept my fingers crossed. Let’s just say I’m about to buy 10 more. The best fitting bra I have ever worn! Smooths out my back fat soooo flattering no gaps. Absolutely love them!!!!” — SHARICE N MCLEAN
Promising Skims review: “This bra is amazing and I will be ordering in more colors. It completely smoothes you out all over (especially in the back), looks amazing under clothes and is super comfortable. I purchased a L-DD and am usually a 36D or DD. Highly recommend!” — Erin F.
Promising Nordstrom review: “This Wacoal bra is just what I was looking for — a bra that smooths the fat under my armpit with a criss-cross of material and prevents it from hanging out on side of bra. The bra feels great on and has good support all around. I’ve purchased four of this style in cream and black. I highly recommend to anyone who has the same issue I have. Haven’t seen any other bras that has the ability to smooth that this one feature.” — FSAZ
Promising Bare Necessities review: “Love this bra. Fits really well. Love the hooks that let me change to a racer back. Beautiful and minimized back fat in normal position. Great separation and covers well.” — Garlyn R.
Promising Wacoal review: “It’s not easy to find a bra that offers support and comfort at the same time. Tame underarm bulge with this awesome bra.” — Rose
Promising Amazon review: “This bra fits amazing! It is probably one of the best fitting bras I have ever owned. I’ve owned “full coverage” bras before, but this bra actually does fully cover everything. I’m not falling out of the top or side. It’s very comfortable considering that it does have an underwire. The band also does a great job of smoothing out those unfortunate bulges some other bras highlight along the back. I would highly recommend this bra! I love it!” — Mary C-T
Promising Evelyn Bobbie review: “This is the first comfortable wireless bra I’ve found that doesn’t feel like my boobs are being squished. After buying my first, The Evelyn, I came back for my second and bought my daughter one too! I love the back and sides, it keeps all your bits looking smooth. I also like the look with the pads in. I feel more confident in the clothes I wear.The fit was spot on! So measure the E&B way to get the best fit. I’ve found my forever bra!” — Christa M.
Promising Honeylove reviews: “The comfort is unmatched. I love how the wide band smoothes everything out on the sides and back. I was looking for something with more ‘lift’ though.” — Amy K.
“Just bought four more. This bra is very comfortable and provides good support. I get no bulges or gapping. Also, the insert stays in place when washed in my washing machine (in the supplied lingerie bag).” — Elle M.
