I'm not sure when these originally came out, but I've been wearing them ever since. Once you find your size, they fit the same every time, and that is a plus. They are made well. I machine wash them with all my other clothes. I do put them into a mesh bag which gives them some protection, but outside of that I'm not doing anything special.

I especially like the front closure because it is easier for someone with physical issues to put on. The back is more like a normal bra than most front closure bras. I have asthma and I can't breath with one of those bras with a "support back". This is way more comfortable.

This is a quality product, and it is made well consistently.
