The Best Bra!!
This review is for Playtex Women's 18 Hour Ultimate Lift And Support Wire Free Bra,White,40DDD.Playtex Women's 18 Hour Ultimate Lift And Support Wire Free Bra,White,40DDD
I have to say that I have finally found the most comfortable bra, for me!! Everything about it fits great. The straps support so no giggling when walking, plus they don't slip off my shoulders, and the band fits well and doesn't ride up. The cups are not only pretty but they support very well.
According to an article I read about how to measure to find the perfect fit, I may be able to order a 38DDD. The article said that when you fasten a bra when it is new, it should be in the loosest hooks. As the bra wears over time, you then have the other tighter rows to move to so that the bra stays snug. On this bra I am using the row that is the tightest setting. I just wish all bras, at least by the same company, measured the same!
One small tidbit of information that I learned from this article I thought I would share with you. Did you know that the cup's actual size is different for each band size? For instance, for a 40DDD and a 38DDD, not only is the band size 2 inches small but the DDD cups are also a different volume. A 38DDD's cups are actually a little smaller than a 40DDD. I thought that was interesting because for 52 years I always thought a cup size (B, C, D, DD, DDD), was the same size no matter what the band size was.
