Finally a well designed front closing bra.

This was easy to hook and unhook.  I am recovering from shoulder surgery and this bra provides the necessary structure while easy to wear.

After a long search for a post op bra that i could wear 24/7, and after trying on at least 15 different ones, this wonderful bra is the best out there.
I am supposedly down to a 34C/D post op, but with the bruising and swelling I ordered this in an XL (2 days post op). Am wearing it on its first set of hooks for now, but as the swelling reduces I can go to the second set.
PROS: -Front closure (so essential for post op).
- Double set of hooks (to adjust as swelling reduces)
- Soft soft soft material and no discomfort
- No Uniboob, as its cut to hold each breast separately and not as one lumpy unit
- No seams along the side, removing any chafing or discomfort
- Low enough front to be able to wear like a normal bra under clothes without it looking like a surgical number
- Easy to wash and air dry
- Feels expensive and well made
-Good support
-Great value for price
-Comes in a couple of colors
CONS: None really, the only quibble is that the straps are not adjustable, but maybe having an adjustable loop may have added to some discomfort  anyways that is easily remedied by buying the other model the same company sells WITH adjustable straps (Carefix "Alice" Front Close Comfort Bra w/ Adjustable Straps #329150), which I just received and is wonderful as well.
All in all: an excellent buy, I would highly recommend this, as it looks sleek, is comfortable and has everything I needed for post op care, without looking like a post op bra. The last thing one needs (after a reduction) is to be wearing a bra that is the size of a tank! Even in these early days I wanted to wear something that did the job and looked good.

I'm so glad Amazon had this bra in the more attractive black; I already had one in beige, which really emphasizes the fact that it's the most butt-ugly bra ever made.  However, this is really a case of form following function. The "inside out" underwire is soft and non-irritating next to your skin. It's one of many excellent features.

I started buying Wacoal bras on the advice of a full-figured doctor, because I was having shoulder pain. The lightness of these bras on the shoulders is unbelievable, because the support is in the band. I've never been so comfortable in a bra.  Since this is pretty much a regular style bra, the straps and band are adjustable, so it will still provide support after it stretches out some.

This sports bra provides great support in a much more comfortable and flattering style than other sports bras. I often run errands before or after I work out, and hate changing clothes, so it's nice to be able to go around town without the usual sports bra uni-boob.  I should mention that I'm currently only using it for low-impact exercise; if you do high-impact, I'd recommend trying one first to gauge the bounce factor.

The bra seems to be well made, and it wicks away sweat very well. I haven't had a rash since I started using them.

My only issue with this bra is that it's thick and takes a fairly long time to air dry. Because Wacoal bras are expensive, I'm handwashing and air drying it, and it's not always dry by the next day. That's why I ordered a second bra.

I'd give my beige bra 5 stars, but the one I got from Amazon was tighter than it should be and I'm having a little trouble with one of the strap adjusters, which is not staying put like it should. Still, I'm happy to get the much less hideous black!

I thought about if I were to design my own bra of combining 2 companies and contacting one of the companies to design one. I no longer need to do this! This is the bra I would of designed! Higher on sides, permanent cups, still hooks in back and some coverage on back. I liked my first 2 so well I ordered 3 more. Don't stop making these!

I have been looking for the right size bra for over a year.  As someone who is a 34H, I am unable to find a product that fits in any regular store.  I have found that very few companies make a bra that fits comfortably.  This bra fits and is practical.  The only reason I did not give it a five is that the underwire gaps at the top when I sit down (it pushes out slightly--similar to other sports bras of this type).  If I maintain good posture, the product looks great under a t-shirt.  This is a good sports bra that keeps it all together. =)  This product is similar to the Freya, but I like this one a bit better because it is even more comfortable.

I am one of those women who hate to wear a bra.  I've been wearing sports bras for years now, and hate the struggle of putting them on after a shower.  These front closure bras are so easy to put on and so comfortable.  The material is lightweight without seeming cheap, and the comfort!  This product must be worn to be believed.

For the first time after three tries, I finally got a bra that actually does what it's supposed to do . This bra is truly a minimizer and is soft and quite comfortable to wear. I'm surely going to buy more.

Like most front closure bras, this one runs smaller than back closure bras, so order at least one numbered size larger.  This bra is soft to the touch yet provides sturdy support. I suffer from upper back problems and am benefiting from the addition back support the bra provides. Wish I could buy several more, but they aren't cheap, nor should they be.

Playtex makes the best bras. Been wearing them so many years and now I love the front closing. It's so easy to snap closed.

I am busty for my rib cage, and finding a comfortable every day bra is a major victory in my world. This one works under all material for a very smooth silhouette, while the demi-cup design allows me to wear it even with relatively low cut shirts. The construction is sturdy, and I will definitely be heart broken if they ever discontinue this model. I also appreciate that the molded memory foam cup prevents the world from knowing how cold I am, without being unnaturally stiff. It conforms to my actual shape, but still masks well, leading to a very natural appearance.

These fit very nice, and the front latching part stays upright and doesn't slide down like some other bras that I have used do.  The fit is perfect and it is very comfortable.

Hard to find racerback front close bra with good coverage...This one is a winner! The side and back lace is both attractive and provides comfortable coverage.  The fit was perfect.

I am having breast surgery and need a front closing bra without under-wires.
This is the best there is of that kind of bra. The last time I had breast surgery I went in person to department stores looking for a front closing soft cup bra and all the versions I could find in the marketplace were uncomfortable and weird to close. This time when I went to a bra shop and asked for a front closing soft cup bra in my rather large size, the saleswoman told me that her mother-in-law swears by and only wears this Playtex bra. Which she buys from Amazon. So I bought one. It is definitely better, however, in normal non-surgical circumstances I would never wear a front closing soft cup bra. It seems really hard to close it and to adjust it.

Front close bras in plus-size difficult to find.  This is quite good.  Just wish more colors were available.

This is a pleasant surprise.  Bras are hard to find when you are broad backed with a smaller bust size.  Normally, the larger the band the larger the cups and then they don't fit!  This is just right and doesn't gape.

This bra is well made and gave  surprisingly good support without a wire.  It is comfortable and straps are positioned to stay in place which is very nice.  Also, no scratchiness or pokeyness.  It gives good coverage but doesnt have thick foam like so many bras.  I am very happy with this bra.  I normally wear a 34C and this offered a pretty good fit.
