Eek. I don't get the reviews. As a post surgery bra these are terrible. There are inner seams with scratchy stitching all over it. Post surgery you want soft and comfortable. (Trust me!) I read another review where someone likened it to barbed wire. A bit of an exaggeration but at the front bottom closure area there is indeed a very scratchy knot where they tied off the stitching. I put gauze tape over mine. I believe they used all-purpose high strength thread which is a little like fishing line. And the material isn't especially soft. The other issue is the top scoop area comes up very, very high on me. Felt like I was in a straight jacket not a bra. It rested higher than most of my tank tops. For the price these aren't worth the hassle of returning. I might wear later as a sports bra under a sweatshirt or something but for post surgery recovery they are not good.
