Fruit of the Loom Women's Front Close Sports Bra - Cotton Blend, Easy Fit & Built-up Support

I have saggy, mom boobs, so if anyone can relate, I hope this review might help you!Upon considering breast surgery, I was told I would need a few good front-closure sports bras. Before then, I didn't even know such bra existed (sheltered, I know).I bought 5 front-closure sports bras and want to compare / contrast them so you don't have to buy so many to find which one (or ones) you want. If it helps, here are my opinions (and I didn't get any of these for free of discounted, by the way - paid full price!):1.) Fruit of the Loom Clasp-front Bra (This Bra) With SIX clasps, this all-cotton bra seems sturdy, but provides little to no support. It's very comfortable like at-shirt and feels much more like a sleep bra than anything you can actively wear during the day if you want your breasts to not sag. It's not padded, just lined with a white cotton liner fabric. With my d-cup breasts, I wouldn't wear it for exercise of any kind, even if doubled up. Best left in the bedroom.2.) Carol Martin Full Freedom clasp-front bra ( Carole Martin Full-Freedom Comfort Bra -36 Black ) which is more of a sleep bra than a sports bra but with a 4.3 stars out of 2,000 reviews, I bought it anyway. Wins the award for the most comfortable, forget you're wearing a bra! But it has zero support and although the lace flap covering the claps is a pretty touch, it does make it a little difficult to hook all 5 hooks with the lace in the way. That being said, it's so stinkin' comfortable, I don't care about the lace problem : I have worn this bra to bed every single night since I received it!3.) Jockey Zip-front bra ( Jockey Women's Zip Front Seam Free Bra, Deep Black Space Dye, Large ) Padded inserts for flattering shape, this bra WOULD have been my favorite of them all because of the no-pinch cloth flap under the zipper, coupled with the silver hook half way up the zipper, which is a HUGE help in trying to zip this by yourself, BUT I found the non-locking zipper to be a pretty major setback! As in, the zipper comes down by itself! I alleviated the problem by wearing another bra under this one and that seemed to reduce the strain enough so that the zipper stays put.4.) Wanayou Zip-front Bra ( Women's Zip Front Sports Bra Wireless High Impact Active Yoga Sports Bras (XL:Fit 34D,36B,36C,38A,38B,38C, Purple) ) claiming to be for "post-surgery" I got the purple one but it is more of a "crayola" true purple than the mauve-purple shown in the seller's pics. I like the zipper covers on the top and bottom which are great for comfort, but a little lumpy-looking under a shirt. The pad inserts are nice to give a little shape and the zipper is amazing for reducing the dreaded uniboob! It is also one of the best for support, but I would still say only low to medium impact for smaller cupped women. As a D-cup, I wear this bra either doubled up with another bra or with a Boobuddy ( Boobuddy Adjustable Breast Support Band Sports Bra Alternative, Pink ).5.) AM Clothes zip-front bra ( Womens Racerback Wirefree Sports Bra, 34C/34D/36A/36B/36C, Rose Red ) - Anyway, this bra is so similar to the Wanayou zip-front bra, that I had to check the packaging to differentiate. Much of the same applies: It has nice zipper covers on the top and bottom for comfort, but a little lumpy-looking under a shirt. It has pad inserts for shape and the zipper reduces the dreaded uniboob! It is also one of the best for support, but I would still say only low to medium impact for smaller cupped women. As a D-cup, I wear this bra either doubled up with another bra or with a Boobuddy.I am also including pics of the bra closed and partially opened, so you can see how much it actually pulls my breast together and it might give you an idea of the strength / support, I hope. Anyway, since shopping for bras when you have "mom boobs" is a tough decision, I hope this review helped!************ UPDATE January 2019 *********************I feel differently about this bra now. I used to use it during sleep, but it is so difficult to close with seemingly a million clasps but worst of all, the bottom clasp is not low enough so there is a cloth flap on both sides that becomes itchy and annoying when wearing for longer than a few minutes. Now, it's a sleep bra of last resort, and then only if I put something (cloth, etc.) between it ans my skin. Bummer.

Was looking for a Surgical bra to have after my breast reduction that took place on December 28,17 was a little afraid that it may not fit & may have some discomfort But I was highly wrong. It’s very comfy & love the colors! As soon as I tried them on I rushed & ordered 3more.

After breast reconstruction surgery, due to breast cancer, i am required to wear a bra 24/7. This is a situation where every bra is uncomfortable. I have tried several different bras, but, this Fruit of the Loom, is the one I wear. I would recommend it to anyone going thru any knid of breast surgery.

I don't know how other women feel but I do know...if a bra isn't comfortable I won't ever wear it again. Well, I purchased this bra because it clips in front and that's the very reason that I will NEVER wear it again! lol I assure you I'm not crazy lol Here's the reason...at the bottom of the closure it's made out of some really stiff material...plastic thing that sticks you EVERY time you move & it hurts! By end of day my skin was so red & raw it hurt when I was in shower, it burned when I put lotion on AND I couldn't wear a bra the next day! Darn...lol Why they didn't put a little piece of material to cover that I have no idea! I have a bra that zips in front & they sewed in a little pocket thing so after you zip it up, you fold/close that little pocket thing at bottom & top of zipper. Zipper bra was same price range as this one so no excuse there! Anyway, like I said, I will never wear bra again! Unfortunately, I'm referring to this bra not bras in general. LOL

Love this bra, but based on many other reviews, to be safe, I bought it one size larger since it's mostly cotton and may shrink in the wash. I feel like if you buy one size up, you will probably be better off. So I wore it for 2 days in a row and it's comfy EXCEPT for one issue (that another reviewer mentioned also) and that is that the bottom of the front hook panel scratches/pokes into my skin and makes it sore. I know one person mentioned putting a bandaid on it which helped but I tried unhooking only the bottom hook and VOILA! Problem solved! There are 7 hooks total so you still have a ton of support. I usually wear a size 40DD bra and the size 42 in this bra works fine (with the bottom hook undone). If you are quite thin, you may not have the scratchy problem with the hook panel rubbing. (I assume some body types will have this issue and some will not but unhooking the bottom hook worked fine and costs nothing). I highly recommend this bra. I am having cervical spine surgery in 2 days and wanted a front hook sports bra to lay around in that didn't need to be pulled over my head. This is going to work quite nicely.

This sports bra is a must-have even if you're not athletic. I bought this for my daughter who hates wearing bras all day but is well-endowed. She is young and I explained how gravity is a woman's enemy! She normally wears a 36 B/C so I bought her a 38 just to give her a bit more comfort and room. It fit great! She said it feels like she isn't wearing anything. And the support is not what you would expect from this type of sports bra - very happily surprised. I was so happy with the quality and the fit that I purchased one for me (it's available in 48!).Best features:- practical front closure- 7 hooks for great support- no underwire- soft breathable cottonI definitely recommend this product and would suggest getting several. They are definitely worth the price - I would even say you're getting more than what you're paying for!

I sized up one size as per many reviews. Usually a 36B, bought a 38 so I could put it in the wash and dryer with no worries. Fit is good after washing, with having some shape unlike many sports bras. The sewing thread in the bottom hem bothered me (have very sensitive skin) so I wear it inside out and just put it on / off over my head. Huge difference in comfort! Why don't they just make them with the hems on the outside? I found the flap that covers the hooks (so they are not touching your skin) is not wide enough either. It just barely covers the hooks so the bottom one was a little irritating after awhile. Really needs to be a wider flap. But with wearing it inside out thats no longer a problem. Its white on the inside, and the bra info is printed on the fabric in black so it's not "perfect" wearing it inside out but I am more concerned about comfort on a hot summer day than "looks". Easy to throw in the washer and dryer! Can't beat the price either.Update: bought a grey one in size 40 and its total comfort!

Updating previous review: yes its comfortable, but advertised as pack of three I have received only one! thats not nice. Either send 3 or don't say there's 3. Can't find seller contact either to question it.previous review:Good support n comfort for a medium sized woman who gets a rash if the stitching on a bra can be felt on her skin. Excellent for sensitive skins. Doesn't provide nipple coverage though as there's no padding. I will be buying more of these. Front opening is a blessing and its firm enough to stop movement.

I have to wear garments with cotton and it's very refreshing to know that this bra has 95% cotton. It's very soft but found the 36" a little close . I'm a small fit and not 'heavy' so the close fit wasn't a big problem but think I will get a size 36C next time. I only received 1 when the description was for 2 in a pack. I contacted the seller who replied the following day with a solution. Very good customer service and will be buying from them again.I have used this seller before when buying cotton shirts and received the same good service.

Not a pack of 3 only 1 but fits great and easy to fasten only reason for a one star is false advertising

My daughter ordered me one of these after I broke my shoulder and an ordinary bra was an impossible struggle. Then after a stroke I got a few more. Super comfortable, washes well. No uplift of course, and maybe could do with fewer hooks, but easy to put on and feels very natural.
