I mainly use this bra when going to the gym, as the straps are comfortable and it holds my girls in place no matter what I do!  I'm a 38DDD and I've always had trouble finding bras that covered my entire chest and held them down during rigorous physical activity.  Finally, I have a bra I can wear for running, jumping, etc. without fear of poking my eye out! lol  I really think these wash well and that they're sturdily made considering the low cost.  I have previously spent up to $80 for designer bras that were supposedly made for larger breasts, but those never had thicker bands and straps like these do.  I really love this bra, as well as several others by Playtex.
