Carole Martin Front Closure Bra for Women, Crossover Bra with Enhanced Comfort, Adjustable Bra with Hook and Eye

The front closure is a two part construction that is not easy to open and close, and rubs against the skin under my breasts most uncomfortably. If you have sensitive skin, you are not going to like this. For someone else, it might be just fine.

Special thanks to the reviewer TheresaB who described their issues finding their 99 year old mom a bra. My mom is 93 and I could relate to that review so much, I have literally been looking for over a year for a bra and I have returned so many. I took a chance an ordered this one (it arrived the next day!) and my mother loves it! I can't tell you what a relief this is. It is well made, it's soft, and it is pretty reasonably priced. I'm taking away one star because the straps are extended all the way and her one and only complaint is a minor one that she says it's sort of a little tight in the area where the breast and armpit meet. I suspect this may be that she was so used to a bra that was so worn out and stretched that that part feels different, but I may revise this to a 5-star rating over time depending on how much she really likes it or loves it. I was with her for about 4 or 5 hours when she was first wearing it, and I did not see her pulling it, tugging it, adjusting it, or even mentioning it in anyway, so I suspect it was quite comfortable for her really. **UPDATE** Well, she stopped wearing it due to the tight armpit area issue so I am still on the hunt, but since it was too late to return it for refund I am trying it for myself. I prefer a padded bra for work clothes and this is far too thin, but I am finding it to be pretty comfortable and not at all tight in the armpits, (I think it's her saggy flesh in that area that it's cutting into). although if I'd bought it for me I'd chosen a larger band size.

This bra is very comfortable for all day wear. I didn’t even remember it was on. It is easy enough to hook closed. If the side boob is something you’re looking to reduce then this is not the bra. Gives a little support but not much.

The fit is good Maybe a little roomy, but not enough to change size .I love the ease of a front closure. The velcro closure was a little itchy for me,but not enough to return.I will probably end up sewing a softer material on top of the closure just because feeling that velcro on my skin kind of bugs me and I would be fidgeting with it all day

I got this to where after shoulder surgery, thinking that it would be easy to put on and take off. It's really no better than a back fastening bra that you can hook in front and then slide around to the back. If it's rather odd, makes me very saggy looking and the fastener section is very scratchy and uncomfortable. Only wore it once and then tossed it. I don't recommend it. However, if you're going to have shoulder surgery, I recommend just a stretchy over the top type of bra or tank top. One that's at least a size bigger so it is looser and you don't have to struggle getting it on.

I have been trying different bras trying to find one that does not leave marks on my skin or dig in, and this is the first bra I've found that fits and feels amazing will definitely be buying some more

When I opened the package, a terrible stink. I checked the plastic package, and there was no odor to that brought itself was just awful. I just cited to wash it by hand in cold water to see if it was something that was on the broth itself. After doing so it’s still has enough sent that others would be able to smell it. I did try it on one time after washing, and the fit is wonderful. However, I have to figure a way to get it back to you because I can not wear it.

I tend to buy front fastening racer back bras, but usually need help to fasten them because I have a moderate disability. When I saw this, I thought it was worth a try, especially since it was listed amongst adaptive clothing. However, the double fasteners make getting dressed in the morning far more challenging than necessary. Today, I fastened just one set of hooks, which was far more practical, but not as comfortable. My search for the ideal bra for me continues.

The band fits okay except it's too wide. They could have done with only one row of hooks and made the cups larger to ensure a better fit overall. The hooks on one side start to dig in after wearing for a while.

The material is thin and does not offer much support, but it is comfortable and I like the front closure.

Confortable

The bra fits as expected, but it is very smelling. I don't know if the material is toxic. If I didn't wash it, I will return it.
