Carole Martin All Cotton Front Closure Bras for Older Women, No Underwire

I wear a 40 DDD and just had my 3rd rotator cuff repair on my right shoulder. I got a size 44 in this bra and it is perfect. I needed very soft support, very comfortable straps, easy to close, and kept things in place but without allowing any shoulder digging. The straps are wide and have the perfect amount of give. They are designed to not dig. The front closure does not stick out or look weird under my shirts. The color is perfect to keep it concealed under my thinner shirts. The price is low and the quality is high. A 40 or 42 would have been way too tight in relation to my ability to pull and tug the cups in place and to close the hooks. This style fit way better than others by the same brand. All in all, these were perfect for me.

I was looking for a front-close bra after injuring my shoulder. This Carol Martin bra is easy to put on and fasten. The material is very soft and cool. The straps are comfortable, and they stay put. I bought my usual size, and it fits on the snug side. After wearing for a while, the elastic relaxes a bit. The price is reasonable, so I will buy more than one.

Fits well and very comfortable. Very forgiving of size and shape, but gives quite adequate support. Perfect for ladies with shoulder problems. Front closure makes it far less painful to get dressed. This bra loses one star though because the small hooks and eyes are difficult for older hands.

Carole Martin Full Freedom bra. I wanted to love this bra. But I did not. I have managed 25 years of not wearing any bras. Opting for sports bras when needed. Before the start of my cycle my breasts get sore to the point where every step I take hurts. In the past I would just put on one of my sports bras. But due to shoulder impingement getting a sports bra off is difficult and very painful. I did NOT want a zipper, thus I did not go the zippered sports bra route. So I thought I would try a front close bra. This bra helps with the painful breasts. Taking it from ow ow ow to tolerable. I feel like the cup area support could be more ... supportive. The straps could also be a bit tighter to help with that, but they are not adjustable. I could re-sew the straps to meet my needs. But the material of the elastic is irritating. I do not enjoy wearing my sports bras by any means but after a while I can almost forget I am wearing one. But this bra? Nope. The entire time I want to take it off because the elastic is so skin irritating. So I don't think this bra is for me.

I just ordered another Carole Martin Full-Freedom Front Closure Bra. I wear it around the house instead of going braless. It has exactly the right amount of support and the perfect wide straps to make it the perfect bra. It is so comfortable! You will not regret this purchase!

I absolutely loved this bra until a hook ripped out of the material a few days after the return period had closed. Expensive for what turned out to be a disposable bra. I tried using a safety pin to help and that was a disaster. I reached out to Amazon and they would not accept a return or refund me. I get that. It is outside the 30 day return period and I have used it. So, I reached out to the manufacturer who directed me to contact Amazon. They did say that IF I had purchased directly from them that I would have been able to return it to them. You'd think they'd want to examine the faulty bra to ensure their production hadn't been compromised. I am no longer willing to purchase (repurchase) items from companies who aren't willing to stand behind their products. I am so tired of buying stuff that doesn't last. The enshittification of the items we use all the time is filling up landfills and is untenable. We deserve products that last longer than a month. Would I recommend this item? Nope. Please note that I loved this bra and it felt like a huge betrayal when there was no customer service help after the hook system failed. I had been telling all my friends about how amazing this bra was and now they're listening to me complain about the lack of service and the company's unwillingness to stand behind their product. I don't think companies understand just how frustrating it is to find a product you love and would repurchase on a regular basis only to realize that the company doesn't value your business enough to provide customer care/service in any meaningful way. Maybe you'll be lucky and get a bra that lasts and is reliable. For me, it isn't worth the hassle or risk.

This is exactly what I needed. I had breast cancer and radiation. I get easily irritated under my breast. And one side is almost a whole size bigger. It works for both sides and it very comfortable around the chest area. It doesn’t roll either. I don’t mind the straps not being adjustable, they work for me. This perfect for wearing around the house and with my lounge wear. When I’m not staying at home I need something to wear with my pjs. So far I’m very happy with this bra. I have tried smany others. I think I could have sized up and it would still fit. But it would be more comfortable for just around the house. I would actually wear this out it does offer some support. I’m going to order another one

Band is very small. I ordered a size 40 and it measured 30 inches. It stretched to fit, but was tight and uncomfortable. Provides no support and is very thin, but I’m hoping it’s comfortable in a larger size for post surgical sleeping. There are also more hooks on the bra than pictured. Size 40 had 6 hooks, when only 5 were pictured.

My aunt didn’t like them. Didn’t fit her & it looked cheap.

The first one I ever bought was from Walmart about 10 years ago and loved it. I would even wear it in bed occasionally. Then Walmart (Canada) no longer carried them so I thought I won the lottery when I saw my favourite bra on Amazon. I ordered 3 that were all returned. Here is why. The sizing guide on the Amazon site is inaccurate. I measured myself twice before ordering. I measured at 35” and I ordered the 36” bras. They arrived at warp-speed and they looked perfect. However getting one on was difficult. You see, I figured out that 36” measurement (below the breast) is when the band is fully stretched to the max, and not a relaxed fit that does not dig in to the flesh. Anyway, if you measure at 36” around, you’ll get 33” bra that will stretch to 36”. Maybe with continual use they will loosen up but I couldn’t do it. I returned them and I will re-order their 38” bra so I won’t need my husband’s help to dress. Aside from this minor sizing issue, this is an excellent product. If there’s a problem, returning it is no problem at all, so go for it!

Feather light. Very comfortable. Soft fabric. Perfect fit.

I wish there was a 32 as although I am a 34D I found the 34 slightly too big on the band and obviously it will probably stretch a tad as the day goes on... I found the straps too long for me ( held up to the 5 other makes of this style I ordered at the same time, the straps were between 3-4in longer)... Well made and pretty.. such a shame not a 32 to try.... I may keep the nude one and attempt to shorten the strap myself.

Están muy cómodos y prácticos, los tirantes son un poco más gruesos que los comunes y no lastiman
