Ill have to admit that I was expecting the cups to be a little thicker. I almost returned it, but my situation forced me into wearing it one day. I was surprised. All day I did not one time gave to pull the back down or fix straps. This bra stayed in place with no pinching. Its only been one day, but I was surprised. I do wish there was something in the center of the cup that concealed anything showing that I don't want shown. Lift was natural although I do wish it had pads on the bottom for more lift.
