BaliWomen's Underwire Bra, One Smooth U Ultra Light T-Shirt Bra, Convertible Bra

I have been on a new bra hunt. Several months ago I decided that the underwire had to go and sort of successfully found some that work-BUT they are still poking me under the arms with a piece of plastic. My husband inadvertently put my underwire bras in the dryer and now all have bent hooks, so it's time for new ones. We have 1 Kohl's store locally and nothing else, so finding a selection is limited. Back to Amazon. I started reading reviews and looking at how many were purchased, etc. I have worn Bali bras before and know that they seem to hold up well and fit me. My only problem with this is the "modesty layer", I am a 40DD and have NEVER had any kind of padding-why do bra companies do this? I don't want or need it. But, in reading the reviews, many talked about how thin this was and especially how comfortable these bras are. So-my thought, "I'll order one and try it and return it if I don't like it". Well, I don't like it, I LOVE it! This is by far the most comfortable bra I have ever worn. It definitely is true to size and I don't mind or notice the "layer". Most importantly, NO POKING, especially under the arms! I can come home and take it off and not have red marks on my body. It is soft, cool, not overly tight (but still supportive) and looks pretty. I love the upper mesh part on these. I do have one comment as several others mentioned, the fabric on the hook part is a little scratchy but only when putting it on. I am a "spinner"-I cannot reach behind me to hook the bra, I have to hook in front and spin around my body (yeah, not good, I know), and it's a little scratchy when doing that, but once on, it's fine. I have now purchased 4 of these in various colors and am hopeful that they will hold up. These are convertible straps (I may never use that feature) and as others have posted, the strap adjustment is in the back. No problem, adjust once and that's fine. I also noticed while trying on non-underwire bras that many had very short straps-I am 5'2" and frequently have to shorten them a lot. Many of the non underwire ones had very short straps that I still had to shorten. These do not, they are more "normal" in length. The price was great too, as the retail is $48 on these (why are bras so ridiculously expensive???). At $23, I feel like I can purchase several. I am QUITE pleased with this and would highly recommend!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I've tried a TON of different bras since the amazing ones Jockey used to make were discontinued (still very bitter about that, Jockey!). I bought from various stores and companies, including Third Love and Victoria's Secret, as well as many others and they all were awful. They either moved up too much causing boobage to spill out underneath or had to adjust the straps all day. But this bra is amazing. It is so comfortable and you never have to adjust anything. It fits and holds everything nicely,and provides good shape to the girls.There is an underwire but it has never pushed through or bent and it isn't even noticeable at all. No digging into the skin. I bought several for myself and for my daughter. My daughter also thinks they are very comfortable--and she hates all bras and is a D cup.BALI, please do not stop making this bra and please do not make changes to it! I also like that he doesn't have bows. I despise women's garments that have bows. It isn't 1915. It has a tiny little jewel thing, which is not necessary but is not in the way at all and could be cut off easily if desired. I don't even notice it. The final thing that is great about this bra is the PRICE! My god, I have spent a lifetime of spending $60+ on a single bra, but the price for this bra means I can easily buy a bunch of them---in case they stop making it. Thank you BALI SO MUCH for making such a comfortable, affordable bra!

The fit is true to size using standard bra sizing, the quality seems to be pretty good and it’s very comfortable. The problem is that I can see my nipples poke through the cups and shirt. I likely won’t wear it under a t-shirt for this reason, and I do not have large nipples. I’ll use it for gardening or days when I need a bra to sweat in outside.The support also isn’t what I’m used to as an 38C/D and I’ve been wearing plain Target underwires for years. The girls were not lifted and supported and just seemed sad. Covered yes, but as I age they need more support, especially after pregnancy and nursing. I just want more lift.The band is also a tad more narrow than I’m used to so I have side boob hanging out. So again, not good for a T-shirt.
