I own 5 of these bras -----3 in cafe and two in white. I normally wear a 36DD bra and that is the size that I wear in this bra. I initially bought two of these bras to wear when I work out, but have found them so supportive and comfortable that I wear them regardless of whether I plan to work out or not. I like the mesh insert on this style because I often wear v-neck t-shirts and the insert offers some extra coverage.
I used to toss these in the washing machine on a normal cycle, buy noticed the white bras started looking a little dingey despite washing them with other like colored garments. Now I wash them with Woolite and still allow them to line dry. They seem to retain their color and original condition by hand washing.
There is no padding in the cups which isn't surprising given that they are designed for full busted women. While the straps are adjustable, this style is easy on the shoulders and offer firm support and stability while in motion. They are well made and durable. I've been wearing this style for 3 years and have yet to find a sport bra that matches it in terms of comfort and support.
