I had breast reduction surgery in 1998 and this was the bra I was given afterwards.  Since then it has been my go-to bra.  Extremely comfortable.  A few years back I needed a bra for a special occasion and bought some very pretty/expensive Soma Underwire Bras.  I love the way they look but am spoiled by the comfort of the Carole Martin bras.  The only issue I have found is that the support does not last a long time (and I rotate six or seven bras) and I do not put them in the dryer.
