Front closure was very wide.
In the front closure on the bra was very wide it’s made it hard to wear under V-neck shirts the top of it would show but otherwise it was a good bra.

Comfortable fit and lift.
I have always loved Playtex bras. The fit is comfortable and they don’t sag making you look as if you’re not wearing a bra at all. This is my bra for sure.

Black seems to fit tighter?
I bought the white, beige and black bras for my mom. It seems like the black for whatever reason fits tighter and had to go up a band size

worth every penny
What I like about this bra is the fact that it is totally worth every penny spent on it and it lasts a very long time. Ive been wearing this bra for many many years now. I have tried others but always come back to this one.

Could not clasp shut for the life of me!
I was trying so hard to love this bra but I couldn’t get it to clasp shut, even what should have been my right size every time I got a couple clasps done then two more would come undone. It was frustrating so I just sent them back and will stick to the same version of this bra in the back clasping version.

I like wide padded shoulder straps.
This bra is good value for the money. The cups are not seamless as it appears on the picture. Front close is a plus! Wide shoulder straps are comfortable. With washing it, hope it will become little softer. Overall, it is a good bra.

I love these playtex 18 hour bras .
The thing that I don’t understand is why would you want me to order more than just 3 ,I had to order twice and it cost me more money to doIt that way but I got my bras and they are the best ones , I just don’t have them down here in Sylacauga,Alabama where I live, they have playtex but not 18hour those are the best ones.Thanks Phyllis

Beauty and comfort
I was very much satisfied with the bra I purchased . It is both beautiful and comfortable . The only fault I found is that there is only one row of hooks so you best get the exact size. There is no adjusting,

Really like them.
I’ve bought 3. The only thing I had to do was tighten the hooks. I didn’t think of it till I got tired of the bra unhooking. LOL I decided to tighten them up, i figured I had nothing to lose and it was a good idea. Love them!

Pretty, but a Failed Result……
This is an update to my December 8th review when I rated the bra at two stars. I never did wear this bra out of the house, but I was determined to have it fit properly so that I could comfortably wear it outside of the house. I purchased a pack of the 6 hook bra extenders. The use of 1 extender was not successful in adding enough room to connect the front of the bra properly! When I used 2 bra extenders, the fit was what I had been hoping for from the time I ordered it — a front closure with a firm fit. However, there was still the issue of hooking the bra while still trying to keep the lace that covered the line of hooks, free from damage while manipulating each set of hooks for proper, and successful closure. The first three hooks, beginning from the bottom, were hooking successfully. In trying to hook the fourth hook, the third hook unhooked itself and continued to do so every time I hooked the ones above it. I switched to hooking them from the top, but the success of that technique was dismal, because the hooks, both above and below unhooked themselves. The entire incident was a lesson for me in ordering underwear online — unless it’s the very design and size I have ordered no more than 6-9 months before, I need to skip it in favor of trying it on in a store that carries the item, which would allow me to know before I leave the store the design, size and firmness of the item I’m shopping for.Review I wrote in early December: Historically, I’ve purchased this bra a number of times, but at the time it was an underwire. I measured to assure I was going to have a correct size. I wanted a bra that would give me independence from relying on my husband to hook my bra in the back. Unfortunately, I have a major issue that prevents me from hooking my bra in the front also. I’m very disappointed to find that this bra won’t allow me to put it on and hook it closed. I have arthritic hands, and my hands have weakened with age. I was able to loosen the straps to give me more room. I used a four hook bra extender I had on hand, and that wasn’t able to do the job. I have on order a six hook extender and I hope that will allow me to manage getting the bra on. For all of you thinking about purchasing this bra, it’s important to know why this bra may not be satisfactory for some women. In order to describe how the bra is made to avoid relying an underwire it has higher sides and a taller back for extra side and back support, fuller cups and wide straps. Plus, a criss cross flex elastic back that adjusts for an all day custom fit. In order to make the bra more attractive, there is a pattern on the front of the bra, and lace has been added. The major issue with the lace is that it is added up and down the six hook closure, and it lays over the hooks to hide that they are there. I can not move the hooks that need to close the bra together. There’s too much resistance so that without the full use of my hands , the bra’sconstruction fails me. Having to move the lace out of the way in order to get to the line of hooks is impossible with the condition of my hands. I’m not able to pull the front of the bra . The criss cross elastic design that creates the flex support in the back is, simply too stiff. Additionally, the lace just won’t stay clear of the the hooks for me to get them hooked. Having said all of that, for the great majority of women, this bra might be the one of choice. We all are different.SEE UPDATE –> One star review update: 01/05/2022

Ignore the sizing guideline if you’re not an hourglass
I ordered the size according to the instructions, which matches the band size of my other bras. When I tried to put this one on, I could barely get one snap done and was in too much pain to continue. When I measured the band, I see why; see photo. My band size, measured in both ways is 38. This bra, marked same, is 31 inches across at that point. The stretch on that elastic might give you a couple of inches at best, with much discomfort. If you’re expecting the band to be the size it’s marked, it won’t be. Only buy this if you already know what size you need in this brand/style from trying it in person or you’re an hourglass. Everything else about it was fine, but I will have to return this one with no idea how to order one in my actual size. Disappointed.

Wonderful
I only got one, trying it out first before selecting more. Fit is great, not a fan of 5 hooks in the front closure. Comfort level is in question, I know it is on then again it is new. Straps are perfect, the stretch around my chest is not stretched enough, maybe it is still new. Over all I love it!

FRONT CLASP
I prefer back clasps. Plus one of the clasps was broken when I bought it, but I really needed a bra so I couldn’t go through the hassle of returning it. I’m not big on these bras, I feel like my boobs get bunched up in front. Same size in the back-fastened style doesn’t do that.

Good product
Good product by designer who has been around for years. Bra’s are now popular in the S-M-L-XL, etc. This does not work for me! I need the correct cup size instead of trying to “stretch” one cup size over just a width around!?! You cannot put a gallon of milk into a quart size container!!Like it. Need the cup size and support❤️

Front style closure
When I placed my order I should have noticed that this bra has a front closure. I am still getting used to the change. The cups are larger than I anticipated but not terribly. I do appreciate the well-made construction and attractive quality.

Front hook bras
Nice Playtex bras. Only disappointment is that during the course of the day wearing the bra the hooks start to become unfastened, so you have to re-fasten the front hooks.
