This bra works to provide some support if you are in a position in which you have limited use of an arm due to a fracture or shoulder surgery or some other medical procedure. The velcro closure is easier to fasten than front hooks, but is also rather bulky. It is serviceable while I am unable to wear a normal bra, but it is not flattering, essentially flattening the breasts into a uniboob.  Depending upon your situation, you may find this useful.
