Let me start off by saying that I am well endowed. My cup size is a DD, and I've always had a hard time finding bras that fit me properly and feel comfortable. I've always loved push up bras the most, because they look the best, but they have always hurt my upper back, right in between my shoulders, and on my shoulders. I started a new job that requires more shoulder movement and I was in unbearable pain, so I was looking for solutions and I stumbled upon this bra and decided why not? and purchased it.It was shipped to me in a timely manner, it took a day or two to be processed and then I got it in 2 days.Now the pros...1. It fit perfectly. Before purchasing this I was wearing the wrong size normal bras. I had only recently realized that the bras I was wearing were too small, so I had experimented with different cup and band sizes and eventually found one that fit my measurements properly. So, I had ordered my recently adjusted band and cup size. At first it was a little snug and I had worried that it was the wrong size after all or that the measurements were weird or something. The first two days they left red marks around the waist band. But after about a week that stopped happening and now it fits wonderfully.2. It stopped my shoulder pain for the most part! Obviously, there are going to be days when even a proper fitting bra won't help. However, I noticed an immediate relief when I switched to this bra. I only wear it while working, because other bras look nicer, and I have noticed a huge difference in pain levels. There are plenty of other reviews that say that this bra didn't help the pain and it made it worse... but that is not the case for me. The only explanation I can thing of is that back pain can be caused by a lot of different things, and perhaps posture/improper back support is not the reason your back is hurting. There could be underlying causes that this bra cannot fix. But my issue was in my upper back and it was due to my breasts being too heavy and needing more (well balanced) support. So while it may not work for everybody, I have a feeling if your issue is what mine is, this bra should work as intended.3. The cups eventually mold to your breast and look pretty good under a shirt. At first I was nervous because the cups were a little weird (when you buy it I'm sure you will notice) but just give it a week and it will fix itself.4. Very good quality. The material is nice and sturdy and the bra seems nicely built/designed.However, there are cons..1. Definitely not a "sexy" bra. Most certainly not for intimate time. There are many many hooks that are slightly annoying, albeit essential.2. It does take awhile for the bra to mold, so for a few days or so I was a little self conscious about wearing the bra in public.3. It is a minimizer. I wish there was a magical push up bra that was able to give full back support/posture correction, but alas to my knowledge there is not. I'm not embarrassed of my breast size, and in fact I really like it and it makes me look unproportional with a minimizer. However, for comfort it is worth it. And honestly, the bra doesn't look that bad, but even if it does, the fit makes up for it.After using this bra I don't think I will ever buy a different brand (for work purposes anyways). I am extremely pleased and will be buying more soon.
