I've always seen the boxes of Playtex bra's and the boxes really prevented me from really checking them as you have to pull them out to have a look and then try to get them back in the box. I don't like seamed bra's and most of my life Playtex has had seems. Recently however I got really tired of wired bra's. Within a few months it seems the underwires are moving up to stab me in one end or the other so I decided to have a look at Playtex because they seemed to me to be better made, particularly in the band area. I took several and tried them on at W.M. and found that my normal size (42DD) was far too large in the Cup and too small in the band. I had to go down a cup size and up in band size to a 44C which fit perfect! This bra has a nice wide band and four hooks that stay put, are comfortable and with nothing to poke you. I'm very please with this bra. They had a T-shirt type bra that I loved also with the same sizing differences on me but W.M. didn't have my size so I came to Amazon, I was going to order that bra...with wire...and instead decided I like the one I bought so much that I will order another of it. In fact I think I'll get rid of all my others and stick with this one thats how comfortable it is. I will mention that it does not have pointy cups either, if it seems so you need to go down one size and it will perfect, that was the case with the DD and D cups...too much fabric. When I dropped down a cup it was perfect.
