one problem this bra eliminates is the folding up of the cups that other bras do.  The edge of the cup is sewn so the padding does not curl up like most of this style. Another problem I have with other bras that I do not with this one is the strap around the midriff starts to rub after a while.  This bra does not rely on elastic on the strap.  The only problem I do have is that the arm straps do stretch quickly and before long I have to shorten them as far as they will go.  This is a great fitting bra; you just might have to tighten the straps on a reg. basis.  I own 5 and love them all.
