Wacoal Women's Dual Control Underwire Bra

This is my favorite Wacoal and I'm already a Wacoal fan. The stretchy material feels like memory foam and it doesn't need to be washed as often as some of my other Wacoals. I know the wire will end up poking me but right now it doesn't. It has stretchy straps, which is frustrating. No one who wears a bra bigger than about a D really needs stretchy straps, particularly since they don't stay where you adjust them. But in the desert of satisfying products that comes along with being a G+, this bra is a winner. As usual, it's not available in any colors, just pale and black (black perpetually unavailable). Apparently bra makers think that G+ women are too preoccupied with hauling the girls around to care about having a pretty bra.

This bra is clearly not attractive, but it is worth it for the comfort. I ordered my current pregnancy size of 34H and it fits great. I'm never sure from photos of smaller-chested models what the bra will actually cover. In this case the photo is accurate. The bra covers pretty much all of the soft tissue, which is nice when you're growing and you don't want a line the minute the bra gets snug. The side/back straps are much wider than I was expecting, which is awesome for covering back rolls. I can't overstate how nice it is for a pregnant belly to have the strap come up so high over the stomach. The underwire comes up to the top of the bra, which I was not expecting but it works. The combination of the high cut and the high wire mean the wire actually lies flatter than on most bras. I was lying on my side in it and my gals remained two separate entities. I didn't even have to put the ladies back into place when I got up, they had barely shifted! Madness. FYI the fabric is thin. Feels from the outside like you're not wearing a bra, will not cover turkey-timers.

Fit like most Wacoals. I haven't found a Wacoal sport bra that fits right, so I can't compare to those. Supportive and reduces a bit without the squishing of the minimizers. Silicon nipple covers make the bra just like a "T shirt" bra without the bulk of padding. The high cut neckline is perfect - the bra is invisible under under jersey tops - like the Elileen Fisher.

I normally wear a 36G in Wacoal's elegance hidden underwire bra (albeit, the cup on that is a hair too small for me these days), and the 36H in this bra is way too small in every way. I had to add a band extender for the band to fit, and I have some mild quad-boobage going on at the tops of the cups. Might try a 38H, but I worry the cups and straps will be too far apart in that size. Going to wait and see if the cups stretch out a bit over time.Sizing aside, the material is super nice. Very soft, overall very comfortable bra. Has more of a minimizing sports bra feel to it. I'd buy more.

I love the look of this bra and the coverage it offers which makes it good for t-shirts. I would like a little more padding as the cups are a bit thin for modesty. My usual size is 34C but in Wacoal I always have to go up a cup size, so I ordered a 34D in this one. It's very tight, and the cup still feels like a C. I may try to exchange it for a DD but the online process takes so long I may just hit Macy's to get the right fit.

This bra runs at least a full cup size small. My go-to bra for the last few years has been Wacoal's sport bra (style 855170). I dislike how bulky that bra can be, and the cup rise is pretty high, which limits the types of tops under which it can be worn. I wear size 36G in the sport bra, but the cups in the sport bra are bigger than the size 36H in this style. I like that this bra has thinner, less bulky straps, and the cups are double-lined and super supportive. This bra is far more comfortable to wear than the sports bra, and it does so without compromising support. I would say that the band runs true to size. I didn't experience any riding up or discomfort due to tightness. I really wish this style had fit better; I would definitely have made it my new favorite bra.

If you're tired of bras with scratchy edges or digging-in underwires, this one offers some relief. It's not particularly sexy, but it's a great everyday bra that holds you up with minimal bounce and looks smooth under clothes.Jut FYI, I find Wacoal bras run a bit small in the band (I need a 36 in Wacoals vs. a 34 in most department-store brands).

the cup size is perfect but the band is one size too small. I sent for a bra extender and that should take care of the problem. This bra brings the breasts forward and even makes them look a little smaller. The way that the underwire is positioned is very nice and soft. Great bra and the price was very reasonable. Size 38 dd.
