Had No Idea

bmorechick — Wed, 27 May 2026 18:27:49 GMT

So since the age of 15 when I started wearing a bra, I have hated them - cheap, special fitted expensive - doesn't matter. In my late teens to mid 20's, I never wore one except maybe under clothing I absolutely had to. I am a 36B and have been since I had my kids starting at age 24. Since my weight has remained the same for past 40 years, there's minimal drop and I also lift free weights so my breasts have muscle support. I almost always at 70, wear a sports bra, but after a few hours they start to feel too constrictive and I want it off. I needed something with pure comfort to wear under certain tops at work.

Came across a bralette on Jockey over Mem Day sale...decided to try one in black and one in beige. Well I don't know where I have been but let me say this, I absolutely LOVE this thing. Nice skinny straps, no back clasp, adequate cups with pad lining. Wore it all day yesterday at work under my blouse and forgot I had it on. It has taken me my whole adult life to find a bra with total comfort and because I'm small busted, the support is adequate. I have looked at them before, but never thought I would be able to get the comfort and support but for me, these things are a win win...back to ordering more!

I too hate wearing a bra. If I'm not going anywhere I don't wear one. Jockey has the best bras for me too. I just got my last order of the bralettes yesterday. Not expensive, wear like iron and comfortable.

@bmorechick, I think I have the bralettes you're talking about. Mine came in a set of 2, one beige, one black, and are made exactly as you describe. I'm bigger busted, but they work for me, too- very comfortable and work well under most clothing. I'm glad you found them, and I agree- they're great!

FYI......If you love Jockey Bras, like I do, see Item A734617. You get 2 Seamfree Back Smoothing Cami Strap Bras - As Is - for only $20.00. I saw the exact bra at Kohls a few days ago $36 for only one....this deal is only $10 each!!!!

I've purchased these "as is" bras and the ones I've received are like new - still have tags on them. I love them so much that I've purchased 4 sets (total of 8 bras). Why not?? The bras are great quality and fit perfect.

If it helps at all - I'm 5'9, 140 pounds, 36 inch chest and typically wear in QVC tops (Susan Graver, Denim & Co, etc.) a size Small. I used the size chart for these bras and purchased size Medium and they fit perfect.

@bmorechick "adequate cups with pad lining."

What does that mean? Removable or non-removable cups are padded separately from the bra material?

@Mz iMac yep removeable little modesty pad

I should have included the actual product - sorry

@Mz iMac, @bmorechick, and everyone- sorry, I was mixed up! What I have is A678610 and they're Breezies, not Jockey. I apologize; I've tried both and I just got it tangled. Anyway, they work well for me and I remember now that I was surprised because I rarely have good luck with Breezies.

@CarolinaGirl88 Thanks for clearing that up!

Yes those Breezies Brand ones look comfy too! I don't think I've made a qvc purchase in 15 years but I might have to look at this item! Thanks!

I am done with Breezies. I have found that, after buying one and liking it and ordering another, it was totally different. Size-wise. Either bigger or smaller. Happened more than once (I thought it was just a fluke) so no more for me. Plus, what really bugged me was the little tiny tab was supposed to cover the hooks after you've got it on. Ouch. The tabs are too small.

I'm large enough that I might as well not wear a bra compared to a bralette. I wish I could wear them.

I look for sports bras that have separation and some kind of built in cup so I don't end up with uniboob.

Comfort is key. I've worn only Jockey bralette sport bras since long before I retired 15 years ago. I wash them in the machine in one of those underwear sacks and hang them up to dry. They last forever. I used to order them from the Jockey website, but Kohl's have carried them in the store for years. Buy them with my 30%-off Kohl's coupons.
