BaliWomen's Underwire, One Smooth U Ultra Light T-Shirt, Convertible Bra

I have been on a new bra hunt. Several months ago I decided that the underwire had to go and sort of successfully found some that work-BUT they are still poking me under the arms with a piece of plastic. My husband inadvertently put my underwire bras in the dryer and now all have bent hooks, so it's time for new ones. We have 1 Kohl's store locally and nothing else, so finding a selection is limited. Back to Amazon. I started reading reviews and looking at how many were purchased, etc. I have worn Bali bras before and know that they seem to hold up well and fit me. My only problem with this is the "modesty layer", I am a 40DD and have NEVER had any kind of padding-why do bra companies do this? I don't want or need it. But, in reading the reviews, many talked about how thin this was and especially how comfortable these bras are. So-my thought, "I'll order one and try it and return it if I don't like it". Well, I don't like it, I LOVE it! This is by far the most comfortable bra I have ever worn. It definitely is true to size and I don't mind or notice the "layer". Most importantly, NO POKING, especially under the arms! I can come home and take it off and not have red marks on my body. It is soft, cool, not overly tight (but still supportive) and looks pretty. I love the upper mesh part on these. I do have one comment as several others mentioned, the fabric on the hook part is a little scratchy but only when putting it on. I am a "spinner"-I cannot reach behind me to hook the bra, I have to hook in front and spin around my body (yeah, not good, I know), and it's a little scratchy when doing that, but once on, it's fine. I have now purchased 4 of these in various colors and am hopeful that they will hold up. These are convertible straps (I may never use that feature) and as others have posted, the strap adjustment is in the back. No problem, adjust once and that's fine. I also noticed while trying on non-underwire bras that many had very short straps-I am 5'2" and frequently have to shorten them a lot. Many of the non underwire ones had very short straps that I still had to shorten. These do not, they are more "normal" in length. The price was great too, as the retail is $48 on these (why are bras so ridiculously expensive???). At $23, I feel like I can purchase several. I am QUITE pleased with this and would highly recommend!

Okay, so I have a LOT to say about this bra. I'm sure you're reading the 1 and 2 star reviews and wondering whether you should take a chance. YES, by all means, do! I am going to do my best to address the issues raised in the low ratings. But first, please know that I have been wearing the bra for two days now (all day) and can tell you without reservation that it is one of the most - if not THE most - comfortable and attractive bras I've ever owned. I am rather chesty (a 38D) and usually have to try many bras on before I find an acceptable one, and then I buy like 3 or 4 at a time. I've worn Bali (though, not a ton of styles), Warner, Soma and others that perhaps I've long forgotten. TAKE A LOOK AT MY PHOTOS and keep in mind that I am approaching my 64th birthday. So, needless to say, the girls are not naturally perky at this stage in my life. LOL. I included one clothed so that you can see how it looks underneath a summer top.So, as to the issue of fit: It fits VERY true to size. The cup size fits exactly like a D-cup should fit - no gaps, full coverage, no side spillage out of the cups.Underwire: Truly, I have no idea what the complaints are all about. There is more than adequate fabric covering the underwire, and it is very comfortable too. If people are experiencing bruising (really???) or marks, perhaps they have it on hooks that are tighter than required, or maybe they need to go up to the next numeric size (e.g., 36 to 38). As I said, I've been wearing this bra all day long for two days, and it doesn't even feel like I have it on - it's THAT comfortable.Straps: They adjust well and give a good range for just about any body. I found that the girls are not sagging and are well supported. Sure, it would be easier to have them adjust in the front instead of the back, but once you make your adjustment, it's not like you have to do it every day (unless you're switching back and forth between racer-back and standard). BTW, I am wearing it as a racer back today, and it's fabulous!Padding: Unless you have literal bullets for nipples, there is no way they're gonna poke through the padding. The cups are not overly padded, which is really nice IMO, because too many bras have quite heavy padding, which is hot and uncomfortable and makes your chest look fake.Embellishment: The mesh portion on the upper cups is really attractive and lies perfectly. I haven't found issues with gapping, unevenness or seams showing through the clothing. I suppose if you wore a really tight top that is maybe silk or satin, you might see something. But for everyday use, the seam is it is not an issue.Bottom line: I am ordering two more bras today in different colors. If there is any deviation from this review regarding quality, etc., I will update this review.HOPE THIS HELPS!

I was very happy with this bra. It fits well and is super comfortable in, always except one. The back band, where it connects to the hooks, has an uncomfortable piece of material that I can’t seem to get rid of. I’ve even tried trimming it with scissors. I now use a cloth type Band-Aid to put on the bra that sits against my skin and that works, but it looks tacky. I like the bra so much that I bought a second one, hoping that it would not have the same discomfort. Unfortunately, it’s the exact same discomfort . So I just keep an extra batch of Band-Aids in my underwear drawer.

These are my favorite bras and so when I saw the price on Amazon Prime Days, I had to get a couple. First, they are thin without the tons of padding that come with some bras. Let's face it, some women don't need more than what they were already given. But if you need a bit more hidden, if you know what I mean, this might not work for you. It has round cups that create a very flattering shape and the center lays flush against the skin, so you can wear something a little clingy and it doesn't create a uniboob. The strap around back is wide enough to create a smooth line under your arms without bulges. The straps are a bit thin, so they may not be as supportive as some bras, but they are adjustable and comfortable. Love, love these and when you can find a great price, all the better!

There is no lining/padding in this bra so when necessary, I use silicone nipple covers to hide the “headlights.” Great price and very comfortable. My only concern is that the shoulder straps have limited ability to tighten so I’m afraid after continued wear, the straps will stretch out and there won’t be a way to pull the cups up higher.

Very comfortable for all day wear
