For women with very soft tissue, this is a good bra.  The reason it does not get 5 stars is because the band is made of course elastic material that pills after the second wash.  I wash by hand and line dry so these bras last a long time with the exception to the band.  I have to pick or cut the little ball-ups (pills) off the band to keep it half way comfortable.  MFG. needs to improve this part of this bra.  All mfgs use the same material on this part of the bra. . . . have they not used it themselves?  That's a real sensitive skin area and the material needs to be gentle on it!
