“Unfortunately, it does not really fit every body as advertised. I am a 36J, and I just want a simple bra like this to be comfy, but nobody makes them in my size. I tried this one in a 2x hoping maybe I could just take the band size in, but the breast fabric cuts away WAY too far at the armpit so I was 1 wiggle away from flopping out the side. I just wish for something with more coverage, even if I have to take in the band to get it to fit my ribs right.”
“These Essential Soft Bras are WONDERFUL. They truly are soft, and the band DOES NOT flip up. Ever. Literally I have done everything I can think of to make the band flip, in multi sizes, and it does not. That's a HUGE problem for me as someone who is rather apple/potato shaped and has a high set chest and waist, with basically every other bra in existence.
On sizing: If you have a relatively shallow chest, or back fat around your bust measurement that may give you the measured appearance of a larger chest, or you like compression, you may want to buy the size that's more in line with your underbust/band/below the pectoral measurement. I'm a 38G in American sizing, and while my chest measurement is 45 (and therefore a 2X), I fit L well for a more compressed/controlled fit for working out, an XL for every day low impact things, and a 2X is more like a fitted tank top. All of them are very comfortable, but the L fits more my loose underbust measurement of a 38, so it's definitely best for working out and being active. All of those sizes are adequately long for me, though they do each shorten a bit, maybe a half inch? The 2X hits my (admittedly high) waist and the Xl is just above it. The L gives me an inch below where my breast tissue ends. If I were going to buy a 3 pack, I'd probably go XL for daily wear, and L if I intended to get work out bras for boxing.”
“First, these bras and the band are soft. They also don't flip up!!! This was very exciting for me. I'm apple shaped and most sports bra bands flip up when I work out, probably because they aren't quite long enough to hit the right area. These do not. I will say, I went by the size chart and got an 2x, but also bought an XL. I think the XL fits better as a bra (and I probably could get a L) but the 2x is great for lounging so I'll keep both. I'm 5'6", 45 in chest, 36in waist, high waist and high breast placement.”
“I tried the soft bra in my regular size and found it a bit too tight at the band but in that size it makes a great bra for sports because it is tighter and more supportive. I just got another multipack in the next size and it fits exactly as I hoped—-support and coverage and so comfy. I may just make these bras my everyday bra even for work and give all my other ones away.”
