Okay, so they're a little pointy...walking around with two rockets on my chest is worth the comfort and affordability of these bras.  Other brands are pointy and uncomfortable.  Trust me, I've been there with 46DDD.  It's no fun.  Yes, they do make the rockets look a little smaller.  My blouses fit a lot better so the change is noticeable.  I fell asleep with one on and when I woke up I was afraid to move for fear of the pain that was sure to follow.  NOPE!!! No pain, no problem.  No dents in my shoulders, no scars, no welts, no marks, nothing!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...ladies, get these bras and pray they don't run out anytime soon.
