no more hooks and eyes, what do you think?

Calvin Klein has some, padded and not padded. I've been wanting to try one. A long time ago I wore Champion sports bras. They were very strong compression-a true sports bra not a bralette. So I think it depends upon how much compression you want.

@qualitygal For working out, I only use a hook and eye sports bra. The over the head does not work for me. It does not give enough support and I find it a nuisance to get off after working out. I'm someone who does not like binding in underwear. but with working out I really like the feel of support.

My everyday bras are very different (as light as can be) from my workout bra, but I still prefer hooks and eyes for the convenience. Over the head bras are a nuisance whether for sports or everday wear. Plus, I think no hooks and eyes bras are better suited for small chests. This is just my experience.

Good luch with that! Unless you are really small chested, really firm. don't workout or are not active and don't need real support, there is no such thing without hook and eyes, zippers, etc. unless you settle for the droopy floppy look and feel which I don't find really comfortable unless not moving much. I did find my perfect fit in a Wacoal sport bra but it does have one hook and zips up but I'll put up with the care needed to get it on for the complete comfort. Unfortunately it has been discontinued and not available. Glad I stocked up. Wacoal does have others I like also but all do have some form of hooks.

you might be better off with a bra that has a front hook in front,

something with no hooks will be even harder, I had a sports bra with a racer back

that was really hard to get in/out off

I love the Jockey "bralettes" sport bras - there are 2 styles that you step into and pull up. I had shoulder surgery last winter and was in an immobilizing sling for 8 weeks. I didn't wear a bra for a few weeks, but later found that the only bra I could get myself into was the stretchy Jockeys. Very comfortable and I now wear them most of the time (but I don't need a whole lot of support, if ya know what I mean) I buy mine at Kohl's and at the Jockey website.

I love the Yummie bras. Got a bunch of them on HSN when I found out how comfortable they are. I wear them for working out, for dance, and just under my regular clothes.

But if you are large busted and need something for high impact I don't know that they would be your best choice.

I have a great Jockey racer back and a couple of Champion racerbacks that are more useful for high impact, but I'm not large busted and don't need super support.

@qualitygal If you are not wearing it for working out, I recommend the Ambrielle Sommothing Wireless Soultions Bralette from JCPENNY. I have one. It is very comfortable.

I have Rhonda Sheers' Ahh bras and they go on by pulling them up from the bottom...put your feet through them first. I find that part difficult to do and for someone with a broken arm I think the Ahh Bra would be almost impossible to get on....just saying.

@qualitygal When I broke my wrist I started fastening my bra in the front then turning it around, worked for me and I still do it because it's easier than trying to "feel" where the hooks are.

Re: best bra, like a sports bra to wear?

qualitygal — Mon, 15 Oct 2018 13:34:37 GMT

@grandma2pkmh, yes, normally that's how

I use to do it too.

I think the Enell bra is the ultimate sports bra. Believe me, no matter what you do, nothing is going to move. It was an Oprah's favorite one year. It does have hooks

That's all I wear are bralettes. All stretchy, no cups, no wires, no fasteners. Yes, I'm small busted, still firm and love wearing these! I buy a two-pack from Izod that I buy from my local Meijer store.

My preference is a t-shirt bra. I need a smooth surface and some padding because I wear a lot of knit tops.

I recently replaced all my bras with the t-shirt bra.

Anybody line on QVC makes a stretch bra in a set of two that is nice. Comfy and washes well.
