Review on πŸ‘™ Comfort and Convenience combined: Jockey Women's Zip Front Seam Free Bra by Charles Barlow

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very comfortable and easy to put on but not overly compressive.

This is a really good bra. The zipper lays flat and looks good under clothing (see a review on a similar item where a user complained that the zipper didn't lay flat). I had a chance to try this on at the Jockey Store so I knew what size to order from Revain. I bought it to put on my own bra after my shoulder surgery and it has made putting it on so much easier. I would also recommend this if you have arthritis. If you're a 36D you should be able to fit in the large if you want some compression. If you just want something comfortable, X-Large might be for you. That being said, I'm not sure a cup over D will work well in terms of compression, but it will work for comfort. This bra has a hook in the middle of the zipper which may be to prevent the zipper from unraveling. I find it very unwieldy but I have no problem or discomfort when the hook is not attached. After several washes (hand and delicates) I now have unintentional problems with the zipper when I bend over. The hook helps a little, but it will still come off halfway. There is a very good panel of fabric under the zipper to protect the skin. I've read reviews of similar products complaining of zippers getting caught, so this bra has that advantage over others as well. If you haven't tried on a bra in a while, it's worth looking up a guide to measuring. Cup sizes have increased, just as women's clothing sizes have decreased. I really like this bra, I have one and two sizes of each color. I threw away all my old racing bras as they are very difficult to put on on my shoulders.

Pros
  • Underwear
Cons
  • So far so good
