Carole MartinFull-Freedom Comfort Front Closure Bra for Women, Wireless

I purchased 2 of these Full-Freedom Front Closure Wireless Cotton Bras, one in Cafe Brown & one in Royal Blue. I also purchased 3 Full-Freedom Front Closure Wireless Comfort Bras for Women - one in Black, one in Cafe Brown, and one in Royal Blue. The colors are true between both products, if that matters to you. (At least the brown and blue are the same, I only purchased black in the non-cotton version).Each bra comes individually packaged in a thick zipper bag with cardboard information and care card. The colors are true to the product pictures. They are very pretty, nicer than I expected actually. I have a light/warm/yellow skintone (half white & half Asian) and both colors look nice on me. The black is a standard black bra.I am a 36D. The bra does indeed stretch to accommodate my size. The arm straps are not adjustable and on the cotton version of this bra I would say they are about 1/2" too long if you're short or petite. I may sew them up with a zig zag stitch. But they're not unsupportive at this length. They feel like they might slip if you toss and turn at night. The non-cotton version has shorter arms. This works for me, but if you have a longer chest or bigger breasts this may make the bra ride up. The underband is also not as wide on the non-cotton version which I think in combination with the shorter arms could make the bra ride up as well.The cotton bra has NO cup seam. This version DOES have a cup seam. The cotton version has longer straps and a wider and more supportive underband. I would say the cotton is better for larger women & breasts, and the synthetic for smaller women & breasts.I have smaller breasts that are on the wider but not voluminous side, and a wide & chubby body. Both versions of the bra fit. The cotton version is slightly more comfortable but the straps are too long. This version fits better in the straps - if it also had a wide underband it would have been the perfect bra for my shape.I have just received these bras today (19Feb2019). My initial impressions are good. They seem to be good quality bras. I have only tried them on and laid on my bed to see how well they support while reclined. Both versions of this bra do keep my breasts separate and supported.There is a "new bra smell" from the plastic bags and from the materials themselves. They're definitely new, unworn and not previously tried on.I intend to wear these bras as pajama and lounge at home bras only.I wash my bras in a mesh bra bag, delicate/knit cycle, cold wash & cold rinse in my top loading washing machine. I usually hang dry my bras outside during warmer weather, but in the winter I dry on low for maybe 15 minutes and then remove and let them finish hang drying in my room.I will update my review in 3 months to let y'all know how they hold up to washing and wearing.

These bras are AMAZING. Like many others here, I ordered 3 after a lumpectomy and a reduction. I ordered the bras before I developed a massive infection. Sigh. I had a drain inserted after the infection diagnosis at the "T" junction-if you don't know what that is, awesome-you must not be having issues with it. Anyway, I had to change pads a LOT from the drainage, so I got several. At first it wasn't more than a few hours before I needed a fresh one. With the front closure and SO MANY hooks (lol) I could keep the bottom 3 or so unhooked to make the drain area more confortanle. The stretchiness of the fabric is soooo comfortable. It isn't supportive but with my new fabulous breasts, I don't need it!!The straps are nice. They stayed up pretty well given that there isn't anything adjustable. Since the fabric is so stretchy, it might be nice if they could be a little shorter and all the stretchiness could accommodate different length needs.I have a large chest-not my breasts, (although thats the case too) but the actual rib cage is large. I need a 48 for my chest, and the cup size fits all means that there has to be allowances to do soMy breasts are smaller in relation to the range of sizes. There are "darts" in the bra that are made to accommodate much larger breasts, so...the dart sat way off to the arm pit side of my breast whereas my nipples are in the center of my breasts. I don't know if that makes sense, but I wanted to say that the dart isn't very prominent so it really didn't show through shirts. If anyone wants clarification or a picture, just let me know. I'll keep an eye out for questions.So, for the BUTTT...there is a scalloped lace across the closure "C" hooks as well the round hook. It's pretty, but my goodness!!! You can't see the round hooks to clip in the "C" hook! It was maddening. I decided to clip off the scalloped edges that covered the round book and voila! I can hook it up without wanting to rip my hair out.I have attached pictures to show what I mean. First one was how it came. Where are the hooks you ask? Then the 2nd picture-THERE THEY ARE! 3rd picture is what it looks like closed. Removing the scallops didn't make a bit of difference and they didn't frey after washing. Anyway. I ordered the original 3 and then 3 more. Yes-the infection was that bad. I am so glad I found these. Yes-I still rate them a 5 even if the lace annoyed me.

This bra is truly comfortable!!! I have rheumatoid arthritis (RA) which causes, among other things, inflammation in my rib cage. I've tried many bras, and I still wind up wearing layers to hide the fact that I can't tolerate a bra, With this bra I CAN tolerate a bra for hours and sometimes all day. This is truly a gift. This allows me to choose my clothing for the mood I'm in or for the occasion, rather than by how I can hide bralessness.I bought a size bigger than the chart stated because I wanted a looser fit. I love the fit as it isn't too loose, and it gives me support. I had some trouble with the doing the hooks as the RA has affected my dexterity. I wound up hooking all the loops and then pulling the bra over my head. This works for me, Over time this may make the bra get stretched out too much, but it's still the best option for me.I'm very active in advocacy in the nationwide arthritis community. I will be sharing info about this bra to the many, many women who can't find a suitable bra. I would love to work with this company to see if a few changes would make this bra even more useful to the millions of people with arthritis. Thank you, Carole Martin!

I love this bra. It is so comfortable I don't mind wearing it at all which is unusual for me! I have owned many different bras through the years and this one is easy to put on and easy to wear. Has good support all around and doesn't feel tight or show bulges in back. It's not the most supportive bra so if you are looking for underwire or stiff cups this is not the one for you. Most people will love the comfort though. Made well too, the front hooks are very secure.

I absolutely hate wearing bras and am always so relieved to take it off when i get home.My biggest problem is that I have quite big boobs (which is generally uncomfortable) and my left boob is slightly bigger than my right. So as you can imagine, either my left boob fits the left cup perfectly and the right cup is too large causing constant adjustment and tugging... OR the right cup fits perfectly, and the left boob pops out of the left cup because its too small. Its a constant struggle for comfort and a a constant struggle to find a good bra... not like anyone makes bras with two different cup sizes haha.However this bra is SUPER comfortable. The material is stretchy, so both boobs fit snugly into the each of the cups.The first day i got it i wore the bra all day and also went to bed wearing it so that i could see just how long it would take before it became annoying. Happy to say that i woke up with no discomfort. I will definitely be buying more of this bra.

Rubbish support if you have heavy breasts, don't waste your money, you would be better buying the pound store ones. I returned mine because the sizing was very small and my boobs had no support. Also the material was very thin.

Been wearing it as not been well and wanted something comfy to wear. I like being able to undo some of the hooks in front. I don't absolutely love it but it's better than other bras I have tried. Maybe I should lose a bit of weight if I want to achieve more comfort.

This is such a comfortable bra. The sizing is perfect and the white cotton is nice to wear. The front fastening is ok, but I am pulling it on over my head, so am not needing to use it. It gives good shape and it is a bra you can forget you are wearing!

I only wear front fastening bras so are very used to them. Ordered this one and one from another seller at the same time. The other one fitted perfectly but this one far too small.
