SHAPERMINT Wireless Bras for Women No Underwire – Small to Plus Size Bralettes with Support and Natural Lift

I haven't washed it yet but I'm sure it will wash well. When I first put it on, my initial thought was OMG! I had a super comfortable bra on that looks good and feels amazing, and my boobs were in the correct place like I had a proper bra on with underwire! I haven't seen my boobs in that position for ages! Not since I was in my 20s (I am in my 40s and had one child) Absolute game changer, I will buy so many more!! It fits me perfectly, even though I've put on loads of weight, and Amazon says it comes up small. I measured and went with the size that they suggested, which I thought would be too small, but it wasn't! Absolutely perfect! It's so stretchy and soft with brilliant hold!!! What's not to love! I thought it was a little expensive for what it, was, but my god it wasn't, Worth every penny, now I'm going to buy at least two more!!

The blue bra was perfect, great fit and very comfortable. Took off one star because for some reason the straps are different on the black one I ordered at the same time. Same make and size, but the straps appear to be thinner and not as comfortable.

I've seen the name Shapermint someplace. Social media, perhaps. I recall they have a good reputation for being comfortable. This bra is indeed comfortable. The material is soft, particularly inside the cups. I feel slightly deceived, however. The main description-"SHAPERMINT Compression Wirefree High Support Bra for Women Small to Plus Size Everyday Wear, Exercise and Offers Back Support". The packaging says nothing about compression or high support. That is what I was looking for and expecting. The brand name "truekind" is all over the packaging and material inside the bag. Shapermint is just on a little sticker on the bag. This is confusing. For me, this is a leisure bra. Something I will only wear at home. If offers NO support whatsoever. Just some shaping, and a step above being braless. I didn't need another one of these. There is no back support, though I'm not even sure what that is supposed to be. On the plus-size models pictured, it fits well. On myself like most wire-free bras, the band immediately rolls up in the front, and bunches up on the sides and back. I need to adjust regularly. I think it is just the way my fat gut is positioned that makes all bras roll up, so I can't fault this bra for that. The shoulder straps are NOT thick as described. They are fairly narrow and dig in a bit. They also roll up, actually. Again, the material itself is very soft and comfortable. But I am disappointed that this bra is not at all "compression" or "high support". It's a leisure bra. This is supposed to be suitable for plus sizes, but I think it may be better suited for smaller breasted, average size women.

Wow, where to start? With the positive or the negative? The negative will outweigh the positive yet there is almost always some good if you look hard enough. Also included is a Mystery. Mystery: Is “truekind” the same as Shapermint? All the labeling says “truekind” (lowercase T); the stamped labeling on the bra (see photo), and the bra tags. Maybe you who create the ads could have some truth in advertising and state that it is “truekind sold by Shapermint”? The Positive: Very well constructed from a seamstress' point of view. It’s very soft (as opposed to being scratchy), it’s thick fabric (not flimsy) and stretchy (nicely stretchy), and it’s crazy comfortable. The straps are wide enough and do not dig in. The band does not dig in and leave red marks. It felt good on my skin. Nice color (Rose Tan) for me. It comes with a bra extender which I will not need but I can use it with another brand of bra I own that has become a little tight. It is stretchy and snug like a good pair of leggings, but not like compression leggings or stockings. Not that kind of tight. It is a comfort bra, maybe closer to being a leisure bra. The Negatives: I probably should have sent it back after trying it on, but it was so… comfortable! and soft! and… well, I’m out $29 and of course it went “on sale” ($3 cheaper) after I received it. I could not decide what I wanted to do (keep or send back) so I wore it all day (around the house). I even left the tags on. I had not planned on wearing it all day. I so wanted it to work for me. By the end of the day, I didn’t feel right returning it, as it was no longer factory clean. Like people who buy a dress, leave the tags on, wear it to a party, and then return it. I can't do that and live with myself. I ordered the 4x. FIRST thing that was obvious to me is that this is NOT an H cup AT ALL. It is definitely a G and maybe even leaning towards a DDD (aka F). I can’t use the band at the bottom as the intended band at the bottom… because the cups would not cover my breasts if I did. The band now becomes an extension of the cup. Which makes it closer to an H cup. But it would need to be a triple width band to make it closer to normal coverage (like the model in the Rose Tan picture shows). And YES, I did order “my size”. If I were to place it on my girls to mimic the way it covers the top of the models breasts, the girls would slide out the bottom while I am active (as opposed to sitting quietly). The bottom line is the size chart LIES about the sizing. Of course not for everyone, but it’s a big fat LIE claiming it fits an H cup. SECOND, the straps are too long. I’m 5’10” and the straps are too long. And not adjustable. If I pull the back down to raise the front, the back slides up after awhile. I can't make the band tighter, it’s already the tightest setting. And it were tighter, it would not be comfortable. Which brings me to… THIRD: I’m a 44 band and I have it on the tightest set of hooks. Not good because it should be on the loosest set of hooks, or at least in the middle; so when it stretches out over time and needs to be a bit tighter I can make it tighter. I can’t go to a 3X because the cups would be even smaller. FOURTH: While it is a comfort bra, it travels too much. The back slides up and the front with its long straps slide down. Melon sacks. At best it restricts movement just enough so the girls are not swinging around when I move. FIFTH: Normally I am not a fan of foam cups yet the shape of them is not bad even though they are not even close to an H cup. Most all foam cups are not my natural shape. Nor are these… they still throw some of the volume out to the sides. Verdict? Be honest about what brand this is, and have some truth in sizing instead of trying to suck customers in who are on the outer edges of sizing.

I am not a big chested individual and am looking for a bra that was wireless but similar to a sports bra. I didn’t like the look of the bra , the padding adds so much more padding and it makes them look a lot bigger than they are which I don’t like at all. I like the color and the feel of the bra and the fact that there is no wire - but this wasn’t what I was looking for
