Bali Wire-Free Bra, 2XL, Black

I am a 34 C (on the small side of C) and bought a small, which fits quite well. I wear it on the loosest hook setting, which means as it stretches over time I will be able to tighten it and still be able to wear it. I bought this bra because I cannot stand underwires and want to be comfortable. Many bras with adjustable straps also dig in and make me uncomfortable. I also find adjustable straps stretch too much and I have to tighten them constantly, until I can't tighten them anymore and they just slip off my shoulders. I did not buy this expecting for it to shape my boobs like a typical cup with underwire would, but I didn't want the dreaded uniboob either. It would be impossible for a bra constructed like this to give me perfect rounded perky boobs like a stiff cup would. I also have plenty of sports bras already and wasn't looking for that kind of support and coverage, but something comfy with a little shape and support. I think this bra definitely meets my simple criteria. It offers very basic shaping and some nipple coverage, without leaving me completely uniboobed or shapeless. I am comfortable wearing this in public. I don't wear a bra around the house, so I would not have kept this as a "house bra." It had to be enough bra for me to be socially acceptable (sigh). However, I don't need/want tons of support out of this bra. It may not suit others who want more support. It is not suited for more high impact physical activity either (I wouldn't go running in it!!). I could see someone who likes lots of support maybe not being satisfied by this bra. This bra has mild shaping. It does a bit, but not as much as say my "Maidenform Sport Convertible Wirefree Bra" (which is not a sports bra at all, not the right kind of support). This Bali bra is considerably more comfortable, but it doesn't cup my boobs the way the Maidenform bra does. It's a totally different cut and style, so it's almost like apples and oranges, but some people might want more shaping. So, to summarize, this bra does exactly what *I* want it to. I was pleasantly surprised by the fit and comfort level. Does that mean it is the perfect bra for everyone? Certainly not, everyone has different needs and desires, not to mention completely different boob shapes! I will still wear a more uncomfortable conventional bra with a nice dress. But I will also buy a couple more of this Bali bra for everyday stuff.
