BoodyWomen's Padded Shaper Bra - Womens Seamless Pullover Padded Bralette with Support and Removable Padding for Women, 80% Viscose Made from Bamboo for All-Day Comfort - Black, X-Small

I applaude the company's dedication to helping the environment. Unfortunately, it seems to be there number on priority. I want to help the environment too but it is not why I buy a bra. I called up the company when I received this bra due to the mild chemical odor. I was treated well and was sent information. From what I can tell they care more about the environment than breast health. They need to completely remove any chemicals that are used in processing or better yet use a fabric that doesn't need chemical processing in the first place. I washed the bra twice by hand and then twice in the washer and the smell remained. I think the odor is permanent.There is also the issue of the pads. They are too thick. I look at least 1 1/2 sizes bigger in this bra. It is too big a change from how I normally look. Additionally, one of the pads was permanently bent due to the box being too small. This is no doubt the company's attempt to save our precious resources but it made the pad completely unusable.The bra also kept riding up because the straps are too short for me. However, I have an unusual bra size, 38A. That may not be a problem for most people.The straps are also way off to the side, which you can see in the picture. I think as the bra got older they would have started falling down.Sadly, I returned this bra. It is hard to find bras that fit me and this one came close. I would have kept it if the only problem had been the pads but it has other problems as well. I plan and checking back in the future to see if they have made improvements.

I have a 37" torso (band) and a 42" bust-line and weigh 173lbs. I wear a L in Jockey brand bras of this type or a 38-40B (depending on the maker). According to their chart, I should take a XL, but a large was what I returned the XL for, and seriously, now I'm not sure I couldn't have gotten away with a medium as the band on this is not tight at all, and my breasts are not very supported (I drive a golf cart and I can feel them bounce up and down - sort of distracting...I do want to say that Boody customer service was great.And when my second bra arrived, one of the pads had been folded over and creased - and it showed under something like a t-shirt, so I contacted them about getting a replacement pad and they sent 2. They also contacted me by email a little while later to make sure I was happy. And I was, at the beginning.See, I had never tried anything bamboo before, and seriously, this stuff is the softest stuff I think I've ever worn. But over the course of a couple of hours, what starts out as comfortable is simply loose. And over the course of little more than 2 months, it is now fairly loose all the time, from the get-go.It has also pilled, terribly. See the pics. That is me wearing this bra twice a week for 9 weeks. 18 times. I have Jockey bras that are *years* old, that have hardly any pilling at all. And then the shoulders did this weird thing - it looks like there are snakes under the back straps, even when I'm wearing it. I don't change the settings on my washer - everything goes in on lukewarm water, perm press cycle and bras are bagged and hung to dry. This bra was accidentally dried in the drier once, but we have it permanently set to the coolest tumble cycle it has and this bra is supposed to be able to be dried - that I don't is habit for all the bras that can't be dried that I have and me too lazy to separate them anyway. I treat them all the way the one that needs the most gentlest treatment gets treated..So really, I don't know what else to say. I feel like I might have another couple of months wearing this before it is too ratty and I decide to throw it out. I have NEVER had a bra that I threw away before 6 months was out... But I fear this one is going to be that one.

This bra is (almost) exactly what I have been looking for. I have been searching for a product similar to Patagonia's active mesh bra -- but with light padding. I would wear that bra every day if it just had a little coverage. This bra is a similar material and would be very comfortable except for a big problem -- which I've seen mentioned in other comments -- it won't stay put! I am only a 34B or so and while the chest band and size of the cups seem to fit almost perfectly -- the problem appears to be that the shoulder straps are too tight/small in length and so continually pulling upward on the bra -- and the chest band is not tight enough to anchor it. In addition -- I find the should straps slightly uncomfortable due to that tightness -- cutting into my shoulder a bit. Now I am only just over 5' and relatively thin -- I almost always wear a Small or X-tra Small -- I can not imagine that a Medium would provide the support I need in the chest band/cup area. Given that most bras/shirts fit me pretty well -- this seems to be a design fla -- the chest band should be slightly tighter and the straps need to be just a teeny bit longer. Another reviewer mentioned a similar issue -- which was solved by removing the padding -- but since the padding is the reason I purchased this bra, that would defeat the purpose.

Incredibly comfortable and soft, nice to have the extra padding to feel safe wearing a tshirt. No visible bulges or straps to slip or get twisted, under armpits and back looksmooth and seam free.This kept me cool and dry in the heat, whereas usually with a standard bra I feel the need to remove it the moment I get in the door after a walk out! Breathes well and wicks moisture to leave me feeling comfortable and confident.I wear a 34D cup bra and I believe when other reviews say about the lack of support, perhaps those women are used to wearing push up or plunge bras. This doesn't push or pull to give you a huge cleavage and make your boobs look bigger, the whole point is it is letting me feel natural but supported enough to keep things in place, as you can see in the tshirt pictures there is still a smoothed out shape. Excellent bra, I shall be ordering more!

Really like this bra, it's the most comfortable I have ever owned. I'm a 34D and wearing a medium. Had stopped wearing a bra at all TBH, moved to the country and spend most of my time working on the land, but was fed up of the girls just dangling around (I'm 53), so thought I'd have a go with one of these. What a result! They are not only back where they (used to) belong, they are comfortable there. The only reason it's not a 5 star review is that the straps are a little short for me (I'm 5' 7"), so the band sits on the bottom of my boobs, rather than around my ribs. Still 100000x more comfy than horrible wires however. I've jus ordered another and will buy one for my daughter too. Time we were comfy ladies, all that look at me my boobs are on a tray under my chn milarky is soooooo 2018!

I'm a size 8-10, originally I purchased the small size but it kept riding up so I exchanged for an medium, which fit better. However I've now had our for a month and it's still riding up and after washing it once the padding needs to be readjusted every time you put the bra on, and multiple times throughout the day. I should've returned the medium. I'm not sure if the Amazon product is authentic as it's so disappointing.

This style seems to come up slightly smaller than the one without the removable pads which I also bought. This is really comfortable but just after a few months the fabric looks a mess, it's bobbling. If you like your underwear to look pristine then this might not be such a good option. On the plus side the elasticity seems unaffected.

Love it - has taken me so long to find a comfortable wire free bra. This is a dream to wear - I've since ordered 2 more. The shoulder straps stay in place and it doesn't ride up at all. Hasn't stretched in the wash (unlike another type that I slogged away with shall we say!).. Love it.
