They say "foam-lined to prevent show-through." They mean "full-on padded cups, easily a half-inch thick, that could stand up vertically by themselves when placed on the bed." They say "new fabrication feels buttery soft against your skin". They mean "tight, starchy, rough cheapy fabrication that instantly irritates." I tried both the 40C & 40D in this uncomfortable bra. The band and straps were too tight, the cups too thick to lay against the skin. This is the third style of under $35 Vanity Fair bras I've tried and all have been ridicuously padded and ungenerous in the fabric (too tight with sizes I succesfully wear in 6 other brand-new bras). I'm off to bite the bullet on $60 to $100 Wacoal and Chantelle bras. I'll let you know if these fair any better!
