For years I have struggled with bras.  Most recently I found another brand that, while offering the right size and fit, the bra was a disappointment.  The wires not only poked through, but the band, with its narrow, thin covering of the wire caused bruises, pain and discomfort.  It was the "no poking" that caught my attention with this bra.  Even though the first one I purchased was a cup size to small, I decided to wear it anyway.  I was so desperate for painless support that it did not matter.  I have since ordered a supply of the right size, and see no need to look elsewhere.  The MSRP is less than half of what I have normally paid for a bra.
