I admit to wearing a sports bra to work from time to time under a regular top - as I like the flattening and tightening effect. &nbsp;May sound weird but it makes me feel less dumpy that way. I'll keep an eye out for something like this in the lingerie dept next time I'm looking . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tried-something-different---a-bra-review#post-1935111 Tue, 10 Jul 2018 16:07:04 +0000 Greyscale 1935111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can it be worn without the pads? I generally prefer unpadded bras (but I get shaped underwire bras to add structure). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tried-something-different---a-bra-review#post-1935108 Tue, 10 Jul 2018 16:03:05 +0000 3style 1935108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m wondering if you’ve tried the “pull the straps down onto your upper arm and see if everything stays in place” test. I can’t support weight from the shoulders or bad things happen. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tried-something-different---a-bra-review#post-1935101 Tue, 10 Jul 2018 15:50:51 +0000 cindysmith 1935101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks very comfortable </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tried-something-different---a-bra-review#post-1935074 Tue, 10 Jul 2018 14:26:09 +0000 Angie 1935074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good to know.

I'm glad you found something you like&nbsp; - I have a drawer full of near misses that I *try* to wear because I spent so much $$ on them. I'm slowly replacing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tried-something-different---a-bra-review#post-1935029 Tue, 10 Jul 2018 12:45:25 +0000 Anonymous 1935029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for this review. I have been giving something like this a try...again. Years ago I tried something similar, pull on but did not have the removable cups. I felt that I should have sized up as one needed to be a contortionist to get it on. It also tended toward a uni-boob look.<br /> Did you need to size up? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tried-something-different---a-bra-review#post-1935024 Tue, 10 Jul 2018 11:59:47 +0000 RobinF 1935024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm skeptical of that style of bra because I have tried a few and they really don't work for me. I always want them to because they would be so comfortable but they tend to scrunch me together and just not fit right. Sure would love it if they worked though, so might be worth a try. I actually went bra shopping a week ago (ugh! worse than bathing suit shopping!) and wanted to try on a 34DD (usually a 36D-DD) and the store didn't even have any that size. I couldn't believe it. So I feel the pain of those of you with a small band size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tried-something-different---a-bra-review#post-1935023 Tue, 10 Jul 2018 11:58:03 +0000 always trying 1935023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am currently &nbsp;looking for a comfortable pull on bra.&nbsp; A few years ago i was going to try a Jenny bra.&nbsp; At that time Kohls had them in the store.&nbsp; Not my size though&gt;&nbsp; I bought two cheap pull on bras that have removable cups at marshalls for sleeping.&nbsp; Now since i have lost weight I have been wearing them in the daytime.&nbsp; I am really liking them. Marshalls no longer has them, so I may try these you are recommending.&nbsp; Thanks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tried-something-different---a-bra-review#post-1935020 Tue, 10 Jul 2018 11:23:13 +0000 Janet 1935020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting. Ditto to bj1111’s questions, especially the rolling up issue. I have a couple of “around the house” bras that are minimal enough to be comfortable but don’t dare go out in public because they don’t give enough support. Pull-over bras rarely work for me because of my small band (32) and large cup size (F or even G these days, WTF?). But the bands are usually too big (hence the rolling up issue) or the cups too small. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tried-something-different---a-bra-review#post-1935016 Tue, 10 Jul 2018 10:56:23 +0000 bj1111 1935016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve been looking for something like that. Does the bottom roll up during the day? How padded are the cups?</p> <p>Thanks for the field report. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tried-something-different---a-bra-review#post-1935013 Tue, 10 Jul 2018 10:39:41 +0000 kkards 1935013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>feel funny writting a review of a bra but, i figured this is a brand that probably many of us haven't tried.<br />a few weeks ago, i was in Nordies cutting thru the lingerie dept when i saw a bralette and for some reason was inspired to try it....they didn't have that one in my size, but the SA suggested that i try this True and Co bra (started as a online only company, i think Nordies is the only place you can buy in store)....i've now worn it 4 or 5 times....and the verdict is in...Love it...it's not prefect, but its pretty darn close...</p> <p>PRO's<br />~most comfortable bra i've ever owned<br />~really does "disappears underneath clothing"<br />~has removeable pads that you place or not, making the bra work for your shape<br />~fabric is comfortable and light- even on 90F days when outside<br />~provided support and shape, but looks natural</p> <p>CON's<br />~its a pull over<br />~its got those removeable pads...need to keep track of them in the wash...and then fuss with them when you put the bra on....</p> <p>Yes, the cons are the same things that make it what it is....what can i say.&nbsp;<br />i wear a pretty small band, but i'm a D cup...so i will say, i'm not sure how this would work for larger bands, but i would recomemned trying it if you are looking for a comfortable bra....</p> <p> </p>
