Great everyday bra4
This bra is a godsend! I tried it on at the mall because the elastic on my previous one was shot and was immediately surprised. It looked as if it would be weak--it's only lined with fiberfill and doesn't have wires or multiple panels--but it supported my bust better than any other similarly light bra has. The cups separate and shape the bust extremely well (presumably because of the Cross Your Heart design), but they are perfectly smooth and won't show through blouses the way seamed cups tend to. I'm not a perfect B and have had problems in the past with bra cups bagging or separating from my bust when I lean over, but so far I've had none of those problems with this bra.

The powernet at the sides manages to keep the bra firmly in place and also help shape the bust, yet it's not binding in any way. The straps are wider than on most bras and softer to the touch, as well as easy to adjust. The bra is also machine-washable.

The only complaints I have are:
>It's not as pretty as some other Playtex soft cup bras (being more of an everyday bra).
>It doesn't come in black (and most offline stores will only carry white, though in general this style is pretty easy to find).
>The hardware on the straps is made of plastic, not metal (which tends to last longer).
>Because of the full-cup style, it can't be worn with wide-neck blouses (and there doesn't seem to be any Playtex tricot bras with wider-set straps).

A longtime satisfied customer5
The above article has been my garment of choice for many years and continues to be so for comfort, durability, style,fitness and choice of color. It has been my only choice and remains satisfactory through all changes in size --some up, some down.

I,m 65 years old and this bra offers perfect fit,lift with no underwires,comfort and you can wear them without worry of seeing everything through all your clothes. Highly recommened this bra.

Lovely, Comfortable Bra.4
I really like the smoothness that this bra provides under my knits. The front wire is also low enough to not stick out on the front of a garment.
Be sure to try this style (#921 Lilyette Minimizer) bra on somewhere before ordering, as the cups are lined with self fabric. I normally wear a DD cup size, but on this style, I had to order a DDD. The band length seemed to be correct. I was able to get this style of bra for $15 each, in all colors plus free shipping for an order of $75 or more from the Maidenform Internet Site.

Most comfortable bra ever!!5
i purchased this amazing bra in plum color...the color is amazing, very simple design and you totally forget that you're wearing a bra with this minimizer. Best of all i like the idea of the back smoother, its different than any bra i purchased before. Totally recommend it and just bought yesterday two more with different colors.

Awesome comfort!5
I haven't found a bra this comfortable in years! This bra was well worth the money! I purchased a "comfort bra" from OLGA Bra's and it's really not that great after an hour or two. I wore this bra for an entire day and it never poked, pinched or made me uncomfortable in any way! I'm going to keep with this brand from now on!

Great bra5
This bra is great. It's comfortable, has great support and really does minimize. I've bought a few other bras afte this one and havent' found anything as good.

comfortable4
Pretty,comfortable, great support and effective minimizing. What else could you want? About a week earlier, I purchased a more expensive Wacoal minimizer bra at a department store. When the Lilyette arrived, imagine my surprise when I found them almost identical in appearance. imagine my chagrin when i found the less expensive Lilyette was the superior product.

As good as it gets5
I love this bra (as much as is possible). No bra is 100% comfortable all the time, but this one comes as close as I've found. I like the smooth, silky cups that are 2-ply so you don't get any kind of show through. It gives good support even while exercising.

great bra5
Fits well and comfortable. Wash by hand or it will pile. I have several of this style in different colors.

Comfortable, Durable, Supportive and Discreet Everyday Bra5
This bra is perfect for me!

Even in a larger band and cup size, Bali's #3383 bra stays put and is so comfortable. Without having to constantly fuss with it, there is no constant reminder of THE BRA: Straps comfortably stay put (my shoulder width is on the narrow side of average), underwire doesn't poke, band stays in place, (3 rows of 2 hook-and-eye) clasps stay fastened, and the adjustment straps on the shoulder stay wherever I place them. There are no fabric tags.

I have bought three of these bras in the past year, and the underwire has never broken. The fabric is silky smooth with a form-fitting (no gap) stretch that makes for a seamless appearance. It has never irritated my sensitive skin in any way.

This bra machine washes and dries well with smaller loads of laundry and has never lost it's shape or color even after several months.

The cut in the front provides supportive coverage, yet is low enough that it is not exposed when wearing shirts with lower necklines.

Two modifications I would make that are NOT important to the design or comfort of the bra.

1. The sizing information ink fades after about six months of machine washing. Maybe the info could be stitched onto the fabric instead of printed?

2. I wish the bra had sexier fabric. It is available in solid, neutral colors. Black is never boring, however I'd love it if the bra was in a daring pink, had a lacy print or a jewel instead of teeny bow - something that gave it a little "ooh-la-la" factor :) However, the sisters look beautiful and naturally supported under clothes and that, in and of itself, is sexy.

Good fit, good lift5
This is a great bra for full-figured women - lots of support and comfort! After years and years of underwire bras, I have finally found a bra that provides as much support, but with much greater comfort.

PLAYTEX 18 HOUR BRA5
One of the most comfortable bras I own. Washes beautifully and stays in shape after washing.

Excellent support5
I originally purchased two of the bras in a department store but could not find more of the style I wanted, so I went to the Amazon website to make my purchase. The support is great and the straps do not cut into the shoulder. The price was reasonable so my decision was made.

Super Comfort5
I've spent a lot of money and time trying to find a comfortable bra and the microfiber crop top bra is the best I've ever worn. Definitely worth the price! It's as comfortable as being without a bra yet gives support.

Totally worth the price ... no elastic to leave marks5
Amazingly comfortable bra - the lack of hard/stiff fabrics really makes this nice to wear for extended periods. I have issues with irritation from seams & elastic touching my skin; so these all microfiber bras really are great for me. The price seems high, but as long as you launder gently and air dry they last quite a long time.

Great Support, EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE4
I'm a nurse. I wear one of these everyday at the hospital. If you're looking for comfort, this bra is it!

Sports bras5
Great value for the money and I had it to use in three days. They wash well and are excellent.

Very comfortable sports bra5
I was so happy to see that Amazon carries this style. Ten years ago, I bought two and wore them until they wore out. I wasn't able to find the same style again, but recently saw an ad for it in a magazine. A Google search brought me to Amazon. I love it...very comfortable stretch cotton and easily slips on and off. The main reason I like it is that it does not have a racer style back, but has a wide comfortable solid band (more like a regular style bra). I put it in the washing machine and hang to dry.

sports bras4
excellent product-arrived when promised and in great condition-performance exceeeds my expectations-would use this vendor again.
