Let me tell you, as someone who's struggled to find a bra that doesn't feel like a medieval torture device, this Wacoal gem is a game-changer. The moment I put it on, the two-ply fabric cups hugged my curves without squeezing - like my 'boisterous girls' finally met their match.
I wore it during a 10-hour workday (yes, even through that dreaded 3pm slump), and here's the magic: no underwire stabbing, no band riding up, and zero 'escape artist' side boob. The hidden inner sling kept everything lifted without that unnatural 'rocket launch' look some bras give.
Pro tip: The sand color version fits differently than black - I learned this the hard way after my third purchase. And while the smooth cups are heaven under knits, fair warning: your 'headlights' might make a subtle appearance (I solved this with petal pasties on important Zoom days).
After machine washing (yes! in a zipper bag!) for two years, mine still look new. Though at the current sale price, I'm tempted to buy ten more - because finding this unicorn of comfort in a 36I is like discovering your favorite discontinued chocolate bar... but better.
