Cozy and comfortable.
I purchased this bra as a post-bilateral mastectomy, direct to implants bra.I was recommended to use a sleep bra to keep my new breast implants in place, having to receive radiation treatment post op.This bra had been a lifesaver.It’s extremely comfortable, has a wide band, with adjustable shoulder straps.One year later, it’s my go to bra.It smooths my sides, holds my breast, with the wide back band hiding back-fat bulge.I will continue to purchase & recommended this bra to EVERYONE!I even got my mother to fall in love with it!

Itchy in the back for the first few washes
The fabric where it hooks in the back is itchy and uncomfortable. Struggled repeatedly throughout my first day of wear. But this eased after maybe the 3rd wash and it became much more comfortable.Size was okay, shoulder support wasn’t bad. All told, it was okay and a very good price. I might try another. Just wash a few times before wearing.

Works for me
I like this bra. It is a replacement for a style that is no longer available. I only wish it had a bit more padding to keep my nipples from showing.

I really, really like this bra!
I've been purchasing the Playtex Women's 18 Hour Active Breathable Comfort Wireless Bra through Amazon for over 4.5 years and before that at stores such as Walmart, JC Penney, and military post exchanges. The name of the bra has changed over the years, but it still remains the most comfortable bra I have ever worn. I am a woman of a "certain age" and large-busted (38DDD). I was tired of wearing torturous underwire bras and wanted something I could comfortably wear through all my day's activities while still maintaining a modest silhouette. While checking out those bras that come in a clear plastic envelope hanging on a hook in that lower price section of the lingerie department, I came across this bra. I purchased it, wore it, and from that point on have worn no other bra.Granted, it's not sexy or pretty, but it does the job admirably! My sister thinks these bras look like a sports bra. Maybe they do, but I know that they wouldn't provide adequate support for me if I were to wear one during any sport involving running. I should also mention that this is NOT the type of bra that supports the breasts entirely through the cups and band that hooks around one's ribcage. A larger chested woman will find that the shoulder straps are necessary. Please have reasonable expectations if you should decide to purchase the Playtex Women's 18 Hour Active Breathable Comfort Wireless Bras.The bra also holds up well to regular laundering (cold water, delicate cycle). I have yet to have the elastic in these bras break down before I'm ready to retire it. I wear a bra once, and then it goes in the laundry, so the six that are in my current rotation are machined washed at least once a week.

Never going back
Literally the best bra I've ever purchased. As an athlete, it's difficult to find sport bras that function as normal bras too and this one has by far exceeded all expectations. I bought my first one and after trying it on, I immediately bought two more.

comfortable bra, enough support for sports
I have worn this style of bra for years. It is very comfortable, no underwires, and offers enough support for running. It doesn't provide a lot of "lift", but when it is new it is much better. Looks good now! The shoulder straps are broad so they don't dig in. The strap around the chest is a little short. I have always been on the last hooks, even when I was thinner. I recently tried sizing up in another brand, and can't wear it because too loose even on the shortest setting.

Good support
Comfortable bra for the price.

A Titillating Fit;)
Who knew that a woman in her late 60s could find a well-fitting bra to be tit-illating? After several failed attempts, the Playtex Women's 18-Hour Active Breathable Comfort Wireless Bra wins the booby prize, which in this case is not a bad thing! This bra brings uplifting gravitas to an area where gravity had weighed heavily. As someone else noted, it is not sexy, but having a certain uprightness in one's shirt is attractive. I was beginning to think I was going to have to resort to tube socks, but then, eureka! My cups do not runneth over, but are filled comfortably to their capacity. And its price won't bust your bank account! I hope you were able to keep abreast of my corniness; if not, please refrain from any act of cleavage.

Scratchy fabric...

Really nice fit, cool and comfortable
Lovely and comfortable, cool and really is easy to wear even in very hot weather. Nice wide straps give support and not ugly like some full support bras; would recommend but confused about wildly different prices for individual colours, seems unnecessary! However will buy again but stick to lower price colours

So comfortable
This is one of the most comfortable bras I have had. Unfortunately I haven’t found anywhere in the UK that stocks this bra. Thank goodness for Amazon!

Totalmente incómodo
Es una prenda bien hecha y con calidad, las costuras son fuertes y la tela muy cómoda, da firmeza y sujeta bien la espalda, no se marcan gorditos. Lo compre para mi madre que siempre ha sido talla 40 y lo que me comentó es que lo siente justo y cuando se lo quita si le llega a marcar, lo que me lleva a pensar que las tallas vienen chicas pues se lo sujeta del primer broche. Quizá una talla más grande le hubiera quedado más cómoda. Por eso doy 4 estrellas.Actualización: La parte que queda por debajo del pecho y que da toda la vuelta a la espalda es decir la que indica si eres 40, 42, etc, es la que se marca y lastima, a media tarde mi mamá ya no lo aguanta, no se si viene mas chico en talla o es la hechura porque de la copa y los tirantes le queda bien, por esta razón no me atrevería a recomendar una talla más grande que te pueda quedar floja de arriba, dependería de la fisionomía de cada quien. Hasta medí a mi madre para confirmar que sea 40. 🤷🏻♀️Cambié a 2 estrellas por la cuestión de comodidad.
