Side by Side Comparison of: Playtex

My holy grail bra. AND no underwire???? What??? This is the first no underwire bra I've ever been able to wear that holds up the 'girls' the way I want. It's a miracle. I bought multiple bras immediately. They do run small. I'm a 36DDD in the Bali flower bra (my former holy grail bra) But I'm a 40 DD in this one. One caveat: They do make your breasts look rather pointy. I actually like that, but you need to know that going in. (I know some women prefer the more rounded breast look.)

This was my second time ordering this particular bra, which I am very well satisfied with! The comfortable, full coverage in the back & on the sides is excellent. The cup coverage & support is the best alternative to an underwire bra that I've found. As some have mentioned, the cups ARE rather pointy; HOWEVER, I think this effect greatly lessened after a relatively short time of wear & laundering. I definitely really like this bra for its comfort, support, & style.

Definitely gives me the support I need , & very comfortable ! Plus my posture improves when wearing it . I'm 69 yrs old & have put on some extra weight :-( so therefore need all the help I can get ! 36 DD & thick -waisted , my clothes fit better & my confidence gets a boost also . Purchased two & will undoubtedly purchase more .

I wear a size 11/12 in Junior's shirts or a M/L in women's shirts. I bought a 40C and it fits perfectly across the back but a tiny bit of extra room in the cups. This is probably because I have a chubby back and a smaller sized C breast. ANYWAYS, my job requires lots of moving, reaching, bending, etc. THIS BRA STAYED IN PLACE ALL DAY WITHOUT HAVING TO "READJUST"! No red marks on my shoulders at the end of the day either!
As far as the outward look of the bra under clothing, my"ladies" were PERKY, PERKY, AND DID I SAY PERKY?!!
Having nursed FOUR babies "perky" is a VERY nice look :)
Only negative comment I have about this bra is the lace on the cups was itchy until I washed it a couple times.

I purchased these bras for my wife and only after consulting with her on the specific size, type, etc. She tried them on and was very satisfied with the fit and support these bras provide. To give you some idea of the quality of this brand. I ordered some for her about four years ago and she did not follow the recommendation of washing them by hand. Admittedly after four years they were pretty worn and the support was definitely not there; however, for four years of use I have to admit they really held up well. They were not significantly afraid, torn, or so bad that they could not be used still. In fact she keeps a couple of the old bras around for mowing the lawn or just wearing about the house where looks is not so important. Of course, I encouraged her to follow the directions for washing by and and see how well they hold up. :) For the price these really have been a good purchase.

I'm going to be honest..I bought this bra because I thought it was pretty and they had my size. I figured for the price if I didn't love it, it wouldn't be a huge problem. I have a larger chest size and gravity is an evil monster..I don't get to wear the light and Lacy bras. I tried this bra on and was in complete shock! It is amazing!! It gives me the support I need, the comfort, and it's pretty! After my first purchase on Amazon I came back and bought a few more..happy lady here.

Surprised with the fit. This bra stays in place and keeps the girls perky all day. I am big busted and finding a bra that is comfortable and durable is like winning the lottery for me. I think I own about 10 of this style. Hoping it comes out in red . I got the blue, pink, beige, black and white. A bra that is comfortable and comes in colors other than white it's a winner for me.

These bras are Great I mean that too. Got them for my gf few weeks ago and she loves the. Very supportive and she wears them for work too so you know they are good. An she has large size breasts so it's hard to find a good bra for a reasonable price. I would definitely recommend these bras and so would she. They are pretty cute too. Not as fancy as some but most bigger supportive comfy bras can run like 20-50$ each. So this was a greeat option.

Without a doubt this is the best bra I have ever worn in all my 73 years. It actually fits! I'm glad I found it on Amazon. I deliberately ordered a smaller band size than the ones I have now and it paid off. Instead of 44DD I risked buying a 40DD. I was amazed I could fasten it without too much of struggle. Of course, Playtex, has always been a great brand and now it's even better. Taking that little size risk was a wise thing.

I am almost 70 years old and my "girls" have gone south. Finally, I have found a bra that is comfortable and put the "girls" back where the are suppose to be. I gave up on underwire bras years ago because they either dug into my ribs or the wires came out. I only wish they came in 34 DD for my daughter who is now wearing underwire bras. I think she would love 18 Hour Bra. I do wish it came in black. I just came back to Amazon and ordered myself two more. I was surprise the Nude color was a few dollars more than the white, so I just ordered white.....watching my pennies.

I've lost a lot of weight recently (150+ lbs). While this has been great for my health and self esteem, it has been hell on my bust. What little shape I had has gone with the pounds. Now I feel like I have it back and more! Thanks to this bra, I can wear pretty tops again without the worry of either ending up 'muffin-topped', 'bullet-boobed', or 'pointing south'.In addition to all over lift and support, this bra is also extremely comfortable. In fact, I ordered one to start with, tried it on when it arrived, and ordered three more that same day.

I will be trying this bra in another size. I found that the band seemed to run small, so I will go with a larger size. Overall it seems like it may give a reasonable amount of support. I also will go up a cup size at that too seemed a bit small. For the price it's definitely a bra worth considering.

Nice control! In the tummy too where I want it. Also on bum, but they do land higher up on leg than I'm used to. See-through, scratchy-ish lace, but pretty. We'll see if the lace is an issue after a whole day. Much better support than the darn six packs of B*arbara's I just wasted money on! I ordered L, I'm 12 jean, 5'5", 155 ish lbs, narrow waist with some bit of belly. But I ordered these to wear in a play, and the see-through lace makes that a big fat No.

It's fairly well made, beautiful pink color, very much like in the photo. The plastic holders had to go, and I just removed them and sewed the straps together. I did it because I needed the strap length, but they also cut into my skin. It is very form fitting and tight. I think many women would very much appreciate that, but it isn't my preference. It has four hooks on the back for great support.

Perfect fit!!! Band size perfect, cup size fit like a glove. Only thing to prevent it from getting 5 stars is that the straps dig into my shoulders. Nothing new for me, but would like ONE DAY to get a bra that didn't chew my shoulders up.

I have worn these bras for a long time. When one is a 42G, there isn't much choice in non-underwire bras. These have always done the trick, providing adequate support while remaining comfortable. I rarely experience any discomfort and I typically wear them for 16 hours a day. Frequently, after a great deal of use, the hooks deform (in the washer? dryer?) and function less effectively as well as irritate and scratch. This is not a big deal. However, the last time I purchased two bras and on one of them, one of the hooks deformed after the first or second wearing, before being laundered. The second bra of that purchase broke before I ever got to wear it even once. The plastic ring that attaches the bra strap to the back of the bra broke as I put the bra on for the first time. There is no way to repair it. Even if I were to cannibalize an old bra, I would have to too much unstitching and restitching to make it worthwhile. Still, I ordered two more to replace those two. As I said above, there just aren't many options. (In all fairness, these are the only two that I have ever bought that self-destructed soon after purchasing, and I have bought many of these over the years.)

In my entire adult life I have never gone without an underwire. I tried this bra at the suggestion of a friend. Other than the shape it gives me, which I have to get used to, the fit is perfect (I'm a 40DD). Good lift; not that great separation. It feels so good not to have an underwire pinching me. I recommend.

Good bra. Since I read the reviews, I knew to go up one band size, but I still have it on the loosest hooks. Holds the girls up high and shapes nicely. I'm wearing a very lightweight shirt, and there is no nipple show-through, though it allows a bit of bulge out the sides and back. I definitely recommend.

I ordered size of Glamorise bra I currently wear but this bra is slightly smaller. Silver lining is that I'm losing weight (already down 80) and this bra will fit me much better after another 10-15 lbs. So, I will grow into it. It is a perfect color to wear under dark clothing and I love the slight design which does not show through a sheer type of fabric. It is made well and lifts wonderfully.

Very good lift and support,-better than the 18 hour sports bra I previously used. But the 38 D doesn't seem any larger than my previous 38C. I have narrow shoulders but big boobs, and it still leaves a little side puff. Quite comfortable, though. I have had two broken shoulders, so the wide straps are helpful. I bought one to try, and liked it, so bought a few more.

Finding this bra was a major win for me. Most women will agree that a good bra that does what it is supposed to do, looks pretty, and doesn't cost biggie bucks, is a keeper, and this little number was all of the above for me. The fit and coverage was spot on. No issues with bulging or popping out in the wrong places. I feel confident wearing this, even enough to do light exercise. It gives soft, comfortable support that hugs you. It feels so good on that I even fell asleep in it and that never happens with my other bras. My shoulders are on the rounded side and I always have strap problems. These straps are wide and padded, so no issues with sliding or digging.The color online might seem a bit on the purple side but it is a true dark navy blue. I also purchased this same bra in the lavender moon color and that is a very pretty color.The only improvement that might be made is the smoothness of the cups. This is a wonderful go to bra for most days, but It would not be my pick for fitted light T-Shirts, as some seeming is noticeable, and it gives more of a stand at attention look then a soft natural rounded look that I prefer for fitted light tops.With that said, I will not hesitate to buy this again. I would recommend this for any active women who is looking for comfort and support.

Very comfortable bra, with cups sized correctly. So many name brand bras available skimp on cup size, and even sizing up from a DD to DDD to allow for extra room, there is virtually no difference in the cup size, creating a terrible fit. I love this bra; it is sized correctly and fits perfectly. I have purchased several expensive bras over the years, but always seem to come back to Playtex, and this is the reason! QUALITY, FIT, and STYLE!

I'm 50 years old, and this is the type of bra my grandmother would wear. The band fits fine, but the cups don't fill out right on me. I have other bras from other vendors in the same size, and Playtex bras always run a little large on me. I was hoping different after reading the reviews which is why I bought it. No dice. I have been professionally fitted (34D), so I know I bought the correct size.

It is surprisingly supportive for a non-wire, non-longline bra. This is why I will keep it, but will not buy another one.

I really like the design of this bra and the Playtex brand. The bra does lift and has comfortable cups as promised. It also has wide straps that don't dig into my shoulders. The design on the cups and lace trim make the bra feel feminine and frilly even with the full coverage. I only gave a 3-star rating because I wasn't expecting the pointy look. I feel like I am from the '50s when I wear this which is a positive or negative depending on my mood. I thought this would be an everyday bra but it is much too pointy. I should have looked at the reviewer pictures first.

I am attaching pictures to assist with this review...The first picture should show the band under the bra as you see it in the product photo. To achieve this I am lifting up the "lady". The only feasible way I could imagine my ladies doing this without assistance (36DDD) was to put the shoulder straps on the shortest length and the back buckles on the most comfortable by snuggest fit. Well, that did not work...picture number two is me wearing the bra on the most comfortable and appropriate settings (middle brackets) 1/4 way lose strap. Bottom band is all gone! Hence the cup portion of the bra rolls over the band. Picture #3 shoes a full view. Picture #4 shows how pointed your ladies become, like a bullet really! Not sure if this is something I do or don't like....Picture #5 shows the lack of cleavage separation your receive from this bra (in this size). This I don't like.
Picture #6 shows the net like material that I find scratchy and uncomfortable. Picture #7 shows the underarm view with more scratchy material and how high it comes up, right to the top and feels scratchy.
So, these photos show you views but to tell you feel...It does life my (nursing for 12 yrs straight) floppy ladies! The are right up there! I like that! Not sure about the pointing out though....I love this color...but I think it kind of stops there. This bra has a lot going on texture wise and a lot of separate sewn together parts. This must be why I can FEEL this bra everywhere! I know it's hard to find a bra your so comfortable in your forget it's on but this one is sending me sensory reminders in numerous areas all at once. However, it does stay put! I gave it a pretty fair star rating I think. I could wear this bra and be confident it will stay put and give me a nice lift, oh and I feel it is slightly side sliming which in my ladies case is great. But also I will be irritated all day "feeling" it all over me and I am wondering if after a day's wear will my underarms become raw? It's going to be a toss up on keeping it or returning it. I will update!
* Update: extra pictures added with cotton dress on. The bra actually hasn't bothered much sensory wise nearly what I thought it would. However, as other reviewers have mentioned....I really don't know how I feel about the pointed torpedoe look!

NOTE ON SIZE: With this line of bras, the rib cage has always been either exactly on the inch, or a bit small. The cups are slightly large. This has been the case with wearing this brand and style for 15 years. It is very very close, on the normal and smaller sizes. I'm the largest size now, and that makes the measurements off a bit.

My weight is fluctuating (OK, it's only going UP). I had a hard time finding a bra this size. the measurement around the ribcage is correct. The cup size is correct. However, it's made for someone with different proportions than me. The straps are set too far inward. The cups at the front of the armpit rise just barely too high, and rub the area raw. Adding an extender will not help; the straps will still be too close together in the front. However, at this size, you can't find anything, especially at this price. I can tolerate it for a short outing. I get out of very quickly when I'm home.

I've been using this brand and style for years. I always have the same complaint: their elastic and any lace they may have is very rough on the skin. I have tried everything from fabric softeners, stretching the elastic to be looser, and it is still not soft. This bra hurts me at the top of the cup, front, armpit. My older bras hurt me under the breast. They are like sandpaper. If Playtex would use the material that's on the top of the straps and cover the elastic, the problem would be solved.

That being said, it holds me quite firmly in place. Thankfully, the larger sizes do not have the Madonna breasts pointed outward look. This, used enough at this point, is surprisingly supportive. There is something different between this, the largest size, and a couple sizes smaller. If you're large, there's no other place to buy a decent inexpensive bra. Walmart carries these, but does not go up to the highest size. If you cannot use the highest size of this product, you have to go to a professional and pay $200+ per bra. With that in mind, I make this work. If you are alone, you can tuck your shirt between the bra and your skin to get some relief. I might actually line this with a silk scarf I have.

This is a well priced bra with comfortable straps ok 3 stars I can see this item working for some women.
Lets face it I'm a big woman with big boobs. Its not easy to find a bra that fits and that is comfortable. This bra is a quandary, I would not call this a 18 hour bra. On one hand once you get it on, the straps are comfortable, and remain comfortable throughout the day. The fabric covering the breasts is durable but I felt the cup itself was oddly fitting. I wore the bra for 8 hours and had to make a few trips to the ladies room because I felt the back hiking up and my boobs sagging I would not buy this product again, But I do feel these are great bras for people smaller in size than I. .

I really like this bra but I gave it 3 stars because it stretched out really fast. The band around fit perfectly at first but now it is too loose even on the tightest setting. I ordered another one in a smaller band size and it fits better but there wasn't a larger cup size to compensate. At any rate, it is very comfortable! It does give monoboob too...

Unfortunately, I'll be returning this. The straps were a bit uncomfortable in that they weren't soft, but rather "scratchy." I normally wear a C, but decided to buy a B as I've lost some weight but the cups were still too large. I'm giving it 3 stars because it was well made and comfortable everywhere else and offered good support.

The quality is good. However, it doesn't offer much support for large breast. Don't expect to have perky breast while wearing this bra but the good news is your boobs will not fall out of place if you bend over or move around. It's comfortable to wear. I think this would be a good bra to buy if you're looking for comfort that doesn't have underwire.

Pleasantly surprised! The picture makes it seem it lifts like an underwrite. It DOESNT. but I have a heavy chest DDD and for a bra with no wire whatsoever, it gives good support. Also very comfy! Would recommend.Edit: After having it for awhile now, it doesn't seem to be "lifting" my chest at all anymore. Support is still fine but doesn't look flattering with a t shirt over it.

Gave this bra 3 stars because I like the look of it, but when it is actually on the body those plastic rings and the plastic adjusters on the straps scratch and dig into my back. I think it is because there is really no support or actual lift. I bought 2 of these and 2 others by Playtex because they use to be good quality bras. Needless to say I will be returning all 4.

I thought I was ordering a different Playtex bra, but that was my mistake. I ordered two of these bras. I found the fit to be just ok. The straps have very little give to them, which, for me anyway, felt a bit tight. I would probably not order this particular bra again, but as a lifelong Playtex customer, I won't stray from the brand.

Material is awful! But the bra fits well. I wear a 38-40G depending on the brand, so I bought this in a 40G and I'm glad I did- it's a very snug, full supporting bra. Don't try to tighten the straps all the way or your ladies will sit unnaturally high (and pointy!). Takes some fussing to stop the band from rolling. Overall, good bra, great fit. Let's just see if I can last a day in it!

*edit* hour 8 and I want it off my body. I am changing my rating to 2 stars. It fits so well, but it's really irritating, and the weight of my ta-tas is pulling the straps into my shoulders, it is near torture. Also, my breasts are so far apart..... :O

I did not realize when I ordered this bra that there was no support/lining in the cups for shaping. My left breast is slightly smaller than the right, but not enough to go down a cup size. In this bra, the fabric was bunching up on the left and even a little bit on the right. There was so much empty space that it looked ridiculous. I would have had to stuff my bra in order to make the cups rounded out (and I am not small-chested; C cup). The band and wide straps were very comfortable, but there was no way I could keep this with floppy, misshapen cups. Returned immediately.

I read the reviews on this bra, the two biggest complaints I saw was the scratchy fabric and odd shape it gave the breast. I'm 30 weeks pregnant and grew from a 36 DD to 40 DD, I purchased this bra in hopes to contain the madness and offer good support. I have no complaints on the support or the coverage, I was very happy with both of those. The fabric is terribly uncomfortable, I've hand washed it several times but never put it in the dryer. I'm thinking of soaking it in conditioner to attempt some softness. I know I didn't spend a lot on this bra but seriously it's like straight up plastic "fabric". The fabric on other Platex bras is not this terrible, most are very comfortable. I did get the weird pointy breast shape most had complained about, not quite Vogue pointy but I know how to load these suckers into a bra but no matter how I positioned them they still pointed at people...between my protruding belly and pointy gigantic boobs I felt like I was accosting people near me.

I'm bummed this bra is a pain because the coverage and the support was exactly what I wanted, I could deal with the pointiness if the bra had not been so uncomfortable.

I like the shoulder straps, but hate everything else. The fabric is too thick and rough with no give or elasticity. I'm going to try washing it 3-4 times to see if that helps.

I am pregnant and needed new bras. I thought this would be great and figured it would offer great support. It does offer support, however, it makes you look like you have cones on your chest! This is something my grandmother would wear! Not only that, the top of the bra in the front is so high that I can't wear it with normal t-shirts. Everyone would be able to see it. Talk about full coverage!!!! I am mid thirties and this bra is way too old fashioned for me.

I normally buy this bra from Walmart, but seemed easier to get it here and have it mailed...you know save me a trip to town; it fits right but is not the quality of the others. It is lighter material and not as structured. It may have been a little cheaper, but that wasn't important to me. Looks like I will go back to Walmart for my next purchase of this bra.

I really liked this bra ... at first. Having worn it for a couple of weeks I like it less and less. I've already had to go from the first set of hooks to the last in order to tighten it up around my chest. The band isn't NEARLY wide enough! I think that is my main complaint with it. The band isn't wide enough, and slides up underneath my girls. I won't be buying another one of these!

Not sure what they padded the bra with in the model picture, but it certainly wasn't the woman's chest. I ordered my normal bra size, and received what amounted to a bra-structured pair of boob pockets. No lift/support, unless my boobs were twice as big as they are, and I had really stuffed them in there.It got a good laugh, trying it on and plucking at the amount of fabric left over due to the fact that gravity pulls my boobs downward - not straight forward in a perfectly spherical fashion.No padding at all, only fabric.One star for the product itself, two stars for the amusement it gave me.Would not recommend.

Dear Playtex,You advertised this bra under "full figure" and used words like "lift" and "support."I do not think those words mean what you think they mean.I am a full figured woman. Gravity, children, time, and the weight of my full figured chest have conspired against me. If I'm not wearing an adequate bra, I can punch myself in the face during a windstorm. My boobs are doing their best to become intimately acquainted with my waistline. When I see the words "lift" and "support," I expect LIFT and SUPPORT.Instead, this is a bra made of a very soft, pliable fabric with zero shape that isn't provided by cranking the shoulder straps as tight as they will go. There's no actual lift. There's a bare hint of padding--akin to the width of a folded up square of toilet paper--that is crushed beneath the weight of my curvaceous face-punchers. It never had a chance. The only support provided by this bra is the promise that in a windstorm, both of my breasts will lift as ONE when they punch me in the face.Full figured girls need actual lift. That means a slice of padding in a sturdy, non-crushable material that is lodged beneath our boobs to give us the illusion of having some sort of super anti-gravity power. We need support that doesn't involve cranking the shoulder straps so tight that they cut into our skin. We should look in the mirror and see perky breasts that would never dream of putting out anyone's eye in a windstorm. Instead, I looked in the mirror and saw droop.I can get that look for free.No love,Me

I was disappointed by this bra. The cup size definitely does not line up with the measurements. I double and triple measured myself before ordering to be sure I got the right size. The band fits fairly well, but the cup size is too small. There was way too much boob spillage over the top of the bra. If I were to order again I would definitely have to go up a cup size to account for it. The material is pretty, but a bit stiff and not very smooth against the skin. The straps, while wide, are not at all padded therefore not ideal for larger-busted ladies. I can't imagine it would be comfortable to wear for 18 hours as the name would suggest.

I've worn an underwire bra for about 30-plus years, but the plastic "wires" have broken on the last three bras, so I decided to try wire-free. Big disappointment. Even the "Ultimate Lift" doesn't have much lift, so the girls sag, and the DDD cups don't sit right, so the girls spill out the front. This is the same size bra as my underwire, but doesn't fit well at all. I'll use the two I bought for around the house when I don't have to go anywhere, although it's so uncomfortable, I may toss them in a drawer or the garbage instead. Just have to keep looking for an underwire that's made well, is comfortable, holds the girls in place, etc., AND doesn't cost a fortune. Come on, Playtex, $20-25 for a bra that has a plastic wire that snaps when the rest of the bra is still in great shape???

These cups are huge if your bandwidth is anywhere near 50. I had to get a 50 B to get the cups small enough to fit, and I am usually a 50DD, so this was a challenge but I finally go there. Amazon was wonderful in providing my free postage until I got it right, so great job Amazon. I feel like Playtex has been in buisness way to long to be making these type of mistakes. Just because I have a big bandwidth doesn''t mean my breast get bigger. The final product does fit, 50B.

I ordered the size I currently am wearing and have worn for years. The back strap will not even meet to hook the loosest setting. I cannot wear this at all. I am VERY disappointed.

Ordered the wrong bra... Not what I was expecting. Both by playtex both wirefree and both 18 hour comfort but very different bras. I'm returning this one as it is horribly uncomfortable. The material is scratchy. I ordered a size up from the other playtex bra which fits pretty well but this one was way too small when I got it.

I am not certain what this bra was an attempt of. The lovely V-Cut shown by the model is not how it fit me. This bra practically covered my entire chest. It is so ridiculously high that I can ONLY wear it if I am wearing a turtle neck or a full sweater over my clothes. It is in NO WAY ATTRACTIVE. It looks like I stole my great-grand mothers brassier and decided to play dress up. And I am fairly conservative for the record. I feel that bras should cover the entire intimate area they are made to cover... but this one covered them, some ribs, a bit of stomach and seemed to want to even reach out and conceal my neck. I am a C-Cup, I ordered a C cup... I have NO IDEA what I got. I was SO disappointed because they were SO MANY GOOD REVIEWS. I have no idea why I got something SO very WRONG.

This bra is NOT "100% Cotton", as the description advertises. This was a lot of wasted time and money, and now I have to return the 2 bras. The content of this bra is: "Cups, Band, Interlocking Strap 100% POLYESTER, Frames 90% NYLON, 10% SPANDEX, Band Lining 50% Cotton, 50% POLYESTER, Back Band Facing 84% NATURAL RUBBER LATEX, 16% NYLON Exclusive of Trim and Elastics". Whew, what a blend! Surely my chest would be covered in painful red rash within seconds, and what a smell!

I really am shocked to see the reviews on this product. That was my reason to purchase the product but the reviews are inversely proportional to the product. There is no good fit! While other Bras of this type have been good fit. The lift that the product advertises is at best a sag bridge!!

"Ultimate lift and support" WHAT A JOKE!!! I am a 38DDD and let me tell you, it's not lifting or supporting anything above a C cup. Busty ladies just say no to this absolutely WASTE OF TIME! This bra has no structure or anything, it's just a piece of cloth.

Scratchy. Rides up. Much smaller than my size smaller bra from another manufacturer. Will never recommend.

It is so awful. Like it pushed down on the top of my boobs and made them droopy, and then cone shaped in the middle. Like seriously nobody's chest is shaped that way! I need to return them badly so.

This is a terrible product I bought it on dec 19,2016 and today gen 17,2017 not even two months later one of the metal hooks in the back broke right off!to say I was upset is putting it mildly I am one of those women who has a need for good support and good quality when it comes to a bra I wear it almost constantly and that's why I thought it would be perfect it's a big disappointment don't wast your money.

I am in boob nail every time I had to wear this. Bra broke at work so ordered it out of necessity, also I was broke and it was cheap. Probably works great for those of us not well endowed in the chest area.
