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!

I like the front closure. Mostly comfortable. The cups are too big. Like adjustable straps.

Just as expected, never had front opening bra before but perfect for someone with bad shoulder as i have. Why didn’t i think of that before. Nice bra, well made, fast shipping, will be buying more. Thank you

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

As all Playtex bras in your correct size, this bra fit good, but it is so stiff and scratchy I could not bear to even wear it just tried it on over a tank top. I had bought some a couple of years ago that were a soft fabric with less closures so it doesn’t go up so high your bra peaks over everything that you wear as this one does. But I can’t seem to be able to find that so I guess I’ll write Playtex off my list of front closure bras.

Good quality, and the price was a steal!

I am so happy with this bra! Let me tell ya! Bras have been a struggle for me my whole life. From the straps being too tight to the cups being too loose and argh!!! So frustrating! I got the Playtext 18 bra, it arrived today and I tried it on and honnnneeeyyy! I am ready to buy 3 more! Ha! I am so over the moon! I can run and dance so comfortably again! If you get a chance give this bra a go!

Es muy cómodo volveré a comprarlo

Muy bien, buena calidad, fiel a la talla, llegó en el tiempo indicado

When you order your exact cup size you have a good fit.

my back felt better immediately It also uplifts and supports breasts I should have got it months ago It improves my appearance and posture

Good quality and price. Very comfortable with wide straps and wide back. Band is a little tight.
