Perfect for my needs
SEE UPDATE AT END OF REVIEW!Right off the bat, let me say that I don't think this bra would have enough support for a large-breasted woman. It doesn't really offer much in the way of support at all. My once-abundant breasts have been diminished by years of nursing babies followed by major weight loss, so I needed comfort and coverage more than support.My first Boody bra was bought off a rack at a health food store. That one had no padding, but was so simple and comfortable that I went online to see what other styles they offered. I found this padded version and I love it. The pads are not absurdly unnatural; to me they are more about offering nipple coverage than augmentation, and the pads are NOT overly thick. These bras are so soft and so easy to get on and take off. After my weight loss, I didn't really know what my bra size was any more. I took a guess and hit it lucky (these run S, M, L, XL, etc, not numerical size or cup size). This will be my go-to bra from now on. I'm a CNA (nursing assistant) and my job is very physical. This bra makes it easy to move, lift, carry, and so on with no discomfort, no slipping bra straps or poking underwire.Again, not really for large breasts unless you don't care about support/uplift and just want ease and comfort. Love them!UPDATE: I do have one complaint about these bras. I still love them and still wear them, BUT-- the insertable padding ALWAYS gets all skewed in the wash, even on gentle cycle. Every single time, I am having to remove and re-insert or reposition the pads. It's super annoying. It sometimes even happens just when wearing or removing the bra-- and they DO fit me correctly. I don't know why they aren't sewn in, and I might end up doing it myself.

Soft and snug!
The viscose in this item is made from bamboo and that’s a good thing! It does have chemicals from the processing but it’s near impossible to eliminate chemicals from our lives. Its by far the most comfortable and soft bra I’ve ever worn, yet snug and secure. Feels like I have nothing on under my blouse!

Soft and Fits
I didn't have any issues with this bra. I am a 36b and it fit really well. It's soft and I didn't have an issue with the pads as others have stated. It is not a support bra so expect jiggling. I wear it mainly around the house and yard as it's so comfortable and isn't as hot as my other bras that are not bamboo. I do have the other unpaded bra which is the same size but much smaller. The straps seem too short and the bra runs too far up my armpit. Also the elastic band doesn't keep it from riding up. I didn't have that issue with the padded bra. I may order the unpaded in the large and see if it fits better.

Great material- But not my Favorite
I updated this two three stars from 4 stars.Here’s whyI have a long torso. Now this same manufacturer makes equivalent (Or close to it) bras that would fit me better. Off course after I bought a couple of these. I like them.Also, I’ve found even better bras made from the same materials for bed time, ect. They cost more. But, there so worth it. And definitely fit way better then Boody brand bra’s.End of OCT 2019 updateFrom original review is continued below.However, unless I hold them stretching the bottom down and separating the cups slightly they ride up. The cups are a little separate already so if your breasts are close together they might not work for you. To make it fit me- I put it in on and then pull the bottoms out In front of me and then down for 3 minutes or more before wearing it each time. Otherwise when I awake or sooner the cups ride up and end up half way up my breasts in the front.There non toxic and don’t smell after getting them after a couple initial gentle washings before wearing them ideally.What I like. I like the light colored ones best and that they don’t make me cold. There very comfortable and have a little support which prevents my nipples from showing and adds a little shape and warmth to them. Because of the support they should last longer. Then without the support. If they are stretched to my size they can hide pretty well under some of my clothes if and when I choose to wear them during the day. Which I’ve done occasionally. And light working out in them is certainly possible. If your not a large cup size or doing certain types of exercise.In the summer they’ll keep me cool and because of the fabric they really don’t need much frequent washing.

Where has this bra been all my life?
Absolutely THE ONE! I have been searching and searching for a soft, comfortable, wire and hook free bra for several years now. I HATE synthetic fabrics, and live in Las Vegas, where it is baking hot for just about 1/2 the year, so I wanted something natural and light and breathable. I had recently settled for cotton sports bras, but they really don't work under "nice" clothes. Determined to keep searching for the "ONE", I came across this. I was hesitant because it looks like those awful microfiber "snaggy" (you know how that fabric always snags on your dry skin...) pullover bras. But it is made from mostly bamboo, so I thought I'd give it a shot. Boy am I glad I did! My new favorite bra is here! Now, I must say that bras are very personal and obviously we are all made differently. So, I would say that if you are like me and have an average bust size and do not need a lot of support, and are also short, you will love it. I read other reviews mentioning that the straps are too short (they are not adjustable) and that's actually what made me try this. I am only 5 ft tall and most non-adjustable strap bras are way too long in the straps for me. This one is just right. For me. I think a tall person with a long torso would find it uncomfortable. I also think that if you have a lot of sagging, and need the girls to be hiked up, this bra won't do that. Oh, and the pads are removable, and I pulled them out immediately. I can always put them back in in cold weather, if you know what I mean. This bra is PERFECT for me and sooooooo comfortable.
