Read reviews about sizing. Bought XXL & XL. My normal size is XL/16. Kept the XXL. Double pads in bra area can be removed. I left the smaller pads in place. No support with or without them at all. Love the "boy cut" attached bottom which is the main reason for the purchase. Wide straps are nice but don't offer support. Good coverage on sides & back. Con: after only 2 wearings, the bottom hem is unraveling and strings/threads are appearing at other seams. It works, but doubt it may last more than one season. Glad I bought this at a Prime deal price.
