I think I got a bad one or the concept has eluded playtex that we are trying to defy gravity, not assist it.  The band stretched out in 2 hours and since I started on the tightest hooks I had no way to adjust it further.  Everytime I moved the band slid around.  The crossed support in the front left me with boob bumps and the straps kept  curling in.  I ended up feeling pushed down not lifted up.  I may have just gotten a bad one, but it was my first and will be my last playtex bra.
