I have worn this particular bra for years and have been very satisfied with every one. BUT the last ones I ordered are uncomfortable, not in the fit, not in the style but with the plastic thread (?) that is used to sew the closure. Why does a designer/ manufacturer even allow such a materiel to be used in making undergarments? Outerwear, okay but definitely not in clothing that will be worn next to the skin. Once the bra is on my body the plastic used to reinforce the closure is scratching and poking into my back. And it is impossible to relieve without stripping down and removing it. If I am ever arrested for public disrobing, it will be to remove my Playtex bra and its offending plastic threads! Surely there is thread that is soft as well as strong that can be used in the making of underwear. This order will be my last for this product.
