This is the most comfortable bra I have ever owned. At first I wasn't sure I would be able to wear it out in public as there is no padding. The bra isn't sheer but the nipples do show through. But once I put on my layers of winter clothes its fine. It doesn't hold you in super tight but it does give some support. What I like is no underwire poking me. First time I wore it, it was like not wearing a bra. I recommend for anyone who is seeking comfort in a bra.
