I needed to find a bra that was not like a sports bra.  I had breast implants removed and corrective surgery and needed to wear a bra of sort pretty much 24/7 during the recovery time and the bra the doctor gave me would ride up and bother my stitches.  I needed something that was going to be comfortable to sleep in and look good under clothes.  I bought these and they are comfortable, nice to have the option to remove the pad.  Great to sleep in and feel supported. It is hard to wear with some work cloths because the straps are located closer to the neck vs. just over the shoulder, but I can work around that a little.
