BoodyPadded Shaper Bra – Seamless Pullover Bralette with Removable Pads, Supportive Fit in Bamboo Viscose

SEE UPDATE AT END OF REVIEW!Right off the bat, let me say that I don't think this bra would have enough support for a large-breasted woman. It doesn't really offer much in the way of support at all. My once-abundant breasts have been diminished by years of nursing babies followed by major weight loss, so I needed comfort and coverage more than support.My first Boody bra was bought off a rack at a health food store. That one had no padding, but was so simple and comfortable that I went online to see what other styles they offered. I found this padded version and I love it. The pads are not absurdly unnatural; to me they are more about offering nipple coverage than augmentation, and the pads are NOT overly thick. These bras are so soft and so easy to get on and take off. After my weight loss, I didn't really know what my bra size was any more. I took a guess and hit it lucky (these run S, M, L, XL, etc, not numerical size or cup size). This will be my go-to bra from now on. I'm a CNA (nursing assistant) and my job is very physical. This bra makes it easy to move, lift, carry, and so on with no discomfort, no slipping bra straps or poking underwire.Again, not really for large breasts unless you don't care about support/uplift and just want ease and comfort. Love them!UPDATE: I do have one complaint about these bras. I still love them and still wear them, BUT-- the insertable padding ALWAYS gets all skewed in the wash, even on gentle cycle. Every single time, I am having to remove and re-insert or reposition the pads. It's super annoying. It sometimes even happens just when wearing or removing the bra-- and they DO fit me correctly. I don't know why they aren't sewn in, and I might end up doing it myself.

The viscose in this item is made from bamboo and that’s a good thing! It does have chemicals from the processing but it’s near impossible to eliminate chemicals from our lives. Its by far the most comfortable and soft bra I’ve ever worn, yet snug and secure. Feels like I have nothing on under my blouse!

Fits great! Im in 2nd trimester of pregnancy, 34D so I got size Medium which seems to be perfect.This seems supportive enough and is comfortable with plenty coverage. I’m curious how it will hold up to more use.Only problem is it came with stains?? I’ll wash and move on with life but a bit weird..

I updated this two three stars from 4 stars.Here’s whyI have a long torso. Now this same manufacturer makes equivalent (Or close to it) bras that would fit me better. Off course after I bought a couple of these. I like them.Also, I’ve found even better bras made from the same materials for bed time, ect. They cost more. But, there so worth it. And definitely fit way better then Boody brand bra’s.End of OCT 2019 updateFrom original review is continued below.However, unless I hold them stretching the bottom down and separating the cups slightly they ride up. The cups are a little separate already so if your breasts are close together they might not work for you. To make it fit me- I put it in on and then pull the bottoms out In front of me and then down for 3 minutes or more before wearing it each time. Otherwise when I awake or sooner the cups ride up and end up half way up my breasts in the front.There non toxic and don’t smell after getting them after a couple initial gentle washings before wearing them ideally.What I like. I like the light colored ones best and that they don’t make me cold. There very comfortable and have a little support which prevents my nipples from showing and adds a little shape and warmth to them. Because of the support they should last longer. Then without the support. If they are stretched to my size they can hide pretty well under some of my clothes if and when I choose to wear them during the day. Which I’ve done occasionally. And light working out in them is certainly possible. If your not a large cup size or doing certain types of exercise.In the summer they’ll keep me cool and because of the fabric they really don’t need much frequent washing.

Very comfortable!

I was hoping this would work for me, sadly it offers less support than M bralettes I typically wear. Perhaps due to the extreme stretch factor.Package arrived ripped. See photo.

This bra seems to provide great support. I love the feel of it. I ordered a medium, and while it's brand new, it fits a little snug, but overall, I love it.

I applaude the company's dedication to helping the environment. Unfortunately, it seems to be there number on priority. I want to help the environment too but it is not why I buy a bra. I called up the company when I received this bra due to the mild chemical odor. I was treated well and was sent information. From what I can tell they care more about the environment than breast health. They need to completely remove any chemicals that are used in processing or better yet use a fabric that doesn't need chemical processing in the first place. I washed the bra twice by hand and then twice in the washer and the smell remained. I think the odor is permanent.There is also the issue of the pads. They are too thick. I look at least 1 1/2 sizes bigger in this bra. It is too big a change from how I normally look. Additionally, one of the pads was permanently bent due to the box being too small. This is no doubt the company's attempt to save our precious resources but it made the pad completely unusable.The bra also kept riding up because the straps are too short for me. However, I have an unusual bra size, 38A. That may not be a problem for most people.The straps are also way off to the side, which you can see in the picture. I think as the bra got older they would have started falling down.Sadly, I returned this bra. It is hard to find bras that fit me and this one came close. I would have kept it if the only problem had been the pads but it has other problems as well. I plan and checking back in the future to see if they have made improvements.
