Carole MartinFull-Freedom Comfort Front Closure Bra for Women, Wireless- 3 Pack White, Beige, Black

I buy them for my mom who has acute arthritis. They are the only style she can get on anymore and she likes the comfort of them.

On the positive side, the straps stay up. And when a bra is no more uncomfortable than ones where I am constantly pulling the straps up, that's a big benefit. Of course, I did add the additional 2" to the size recommendations to get a looser fit - which turned out to be a snug fit. But since there aren't multiple rows of hooks to tighten when the elastic stretches, I figured it would be the optimal size.So having made a trial size purchase and decided that this bra would be suitable, I ordered two 3-packs so I would be able to launder them with my weekly wash. Since this was in essence a repeat purchase, when they arrived I unpackaged them and put them in the laundry - and discarded the packaging. I did notice a chemical odor but figured it would come out in the wash. Wrong. So I Googled removing odors from new clothing and saw that an overnight soak in baking soda might help. I tried that and then ran them through with a load of sheets and hung everything out in the hot sunshine to dry. The next morning I tried to wear one and realized that the smell was still pretty intense - and my eyes started watering. Back to Google, and this time I put them in a vinegar soak, then washed them in Woolite and hung them back out, dripping wet, for another day of sun treatment. This seems to have brought the odor down to an acceptable level.If I still had the packaging, I would have returned them.

I have reflux disease and regular bras put pressure on my upper stomach and esophagus that becomes very uncomfortable. This bra is comfortable and fits just right!

I’ve been looking for an everyday bra that’s comfortable for many years. I’m over 65 and the girls need support but I absolutely hate underwire uncomfortable bras. I’d rather go with a heavy sweatshirt and avoid a bra all together. In addition I have arthritis in my spine so bras are particularly uncomfortable. I just got these today and oh my gosh, they’re so comfortable! They provide much more lift than I expected, but they’re certainly not as good as a regular underwire bra. But who cares for day to day casual use. I’m so happy to have found these. I hope they hold up well.

It is very comfortable and fits me perfectly.

These bras solved a problem for me--I am 92 and can only wear non-wired front-closing bras but even those ride up and are uncomfortable. These bras can also be put on easily by slipping them over your head. no hooking required. I am now one happy camper now when I need to wear a bra, which I don't unless going out. Strongly recommend them especially for women with neuropathy in their hands which makes handling hooks impossible.

I will order this again.

Ordered as work out bras. so they are fine forthat. They are not amy good at real support for an old, large breasted woman like me. Looking into those for another time.

I am that walking cliche who flings her bra across the room, as soon as I get home. I have nothing but disdain for these pinchy, itchy, sweaty boob tamers. Enter the Carole Martin Full-Freedom Comfort Bras (in a 3 pack no less).Soft, smooth and oh so nice to wear! I haven't had a lot of front closure bras in my lifetime, but am truly loving the 4 hook design of this one that conceals a wee bit less than most other athletic bras. The straps are stretchy and wide, and perhaps not the most supportive if you're looking for that. However, if you are looking for all day wearability, and want to forego the "tug it down, push it up and lift and scratch" all day long.. this bra is your new bestie.

I'm a size 40 C and they do support me, yes and they are comfortable and i love that I can open and shut them at the front. I would order them again, the reason I took one star away is that the straps do fall down from time to time, (which doesn't happen with my other bras), so that's a bit annoying and late at night if i'm sitting down the bottom hook that keeps the bra closed it digs into my skin. During the day I don't feel that dig, only after a meal and i'm sitting down relaxing, maybe they can find another way to join the bottom of the bra without using a hook.

I cannot believe how comfortable these bras are. You get full support without any discomfort.The straps stay in place without digging into your shoulders.The front eyelets are easy to open & close and laundering is breeze!! I'll never wear a traditional bra again.

I’m still thinking if I will return it or not but I might keep it. I am looking for a style that I can use inside and outside of the house at the same time, but it seems I can only use it when I’m staying at home. It has no pads and it’s like a camisole, but the thing I like is that even though it’s very thin it seems ok when you wear it under the shirt, it doesn’t show anything. It’s light and comfortable.

I am chronically cold and like to layer up when I sleep. Many moons ago my mother gave me one of these bras for comfort and a little extra warmth at night and I have been hooked ever since. Decided to get some brand new ones so I could have some variety with colors. Very happy with this purchase!
