Fruit of the Loom Women’s Multi-Pack Front Closure Cotton Bra by Fruit of the Loom

Very comfortable! Bought so I could wear support while recovering from rotator cuff surgery. The front close is very convenient, the fabric soft but with good support. I am a 34DD so I went up a band size to 36. The fit is great. Now that I am back to regular wear I use these as sleep support. No strap adjustment but didn’t seem necessary. Good choice for temporary support, but not enough for me for full-time regular wear.

Very useful and handy for post surgery. Love the fit, the smoothness, and comfortable. Supportive and nice stretch

Best bras in history.
I hate bras. I mean HATE bras. But,,I have a couple of new blouses that I can’t wear just a cami with so… I went on the bra hunt… all you women on here know what I’m talking about, the search for the needle in a haystack.
I need front closure. I broke my neck years ago so I’ve got limited ability. I want all cotton and no under wire. And because I’m plus size with small breasts, I can only find bras with 8 inches of material in the front. Yuck… like a breast prison. I ran across these. Great price. Fit all my needs except the front breast plate thing but in the picture I saw one woman with the bra not buttoned all the way up… so I thought. That’s cute. I’ll give it a try.
Delivered in 1 day (I love PRIME) as soon as I got them. I tried it on. Only buttoned half way up. It’s so darned cute. Holds me up fine. Looks great, feels wonderful, (not a prison at all) in fact, I can barely tell I’m wearing a bra. I love these. I’m ordering every single color.
So for those women, like me, who hate the breast prisons that most bras are… this is it. The solution.

I ordered a size 34 by mistake (normally I’m a 36) and I couldn’t get one on – I think even the 36 will not fit me, so I am going to return these and try a size 38. So given my experience and reviews from other users it seems these bras run a little small and sizing up is in order, especially if you are recovering from an injury like me or surgery and need a bra that is easy to put on and take off.

I do love that this bra is 100% cotton – that is very rare to find these days for bra material. It’s also very soft and stretchy and the variety of colors look great. If the size 38 works for me I will update this review.

I have saggy, mom boobs, so if anyone can relate, I hope this review might help you!

Upon considering breast surgery, I was told I would need a few good front-closure sports bras. Before then, I didn’t even know such bra existed (sheltered, I know).

I bought 5 front-closure sports bras and want to compare / contrast them so you don’t have to buy so many to find which one (or ones) you want. If it helps, here are my opinions (and I didn’t get any of these for free of discounted, by the way – paid full price!):

1.) Fruit of the Loom Clasp-front Bra (This Bra) With SIX clasps, this all-cotton bra seems sturdy, but provides little to no support. It’s very comfortable like at-shirt and feels much more like a sleep bra than anything you can actively wear during the day if you want your breasts to not sag. It’s not padded, just lined with a white cotton liner fabric. With my d-cup breasts, I wouldn’t wear it for exercise of any kind, even if doubled up. Best left in the bedroom.

2.) Carol Martin Full Freedom clasp-front bra (Carole Martin Full-Freedom Comfort Bra -36 Black) which is more of a sleep bra than a sports bra but with a 4.3 stars out of 2,000 reviews, I bought it anyway. Wins the award for the most comfortable, forget you’re wearing a bra! But it has zero support and although the lace flap covering the claps is a pretty touch, it does make it a little difficult to hook all 5 hooks with the lace in the way. That being said, it’s so stinkin’ comfortable, I don’t care about the lace problem : I have worn this bra to bed every single night since I received it!

3.) Jockey Zip-front bra (Jockey Women’s Zip Front Seam Free Bra, Deep Black Space Dye, Large) Padded inserts for flattering shape, this bra WOULD have been my favorite of them all because of the no-pinch cloth flap under the zipper, coupled with the silver hook half way up the zipper, which is a HUGE help in trying to zip this by yourself, BUT I found the non-locking zipper to be a pretty major setback! As in, the zipper comes down by itself! I alleviated the problem by wearing another bra under this one and that seemed to reduce the strain enough so that the zipper stays put.

4.) Wanayou Zip-front Bra (Women’s Zip Front Sports Bra Wireless High Impact Active Yoga Sports Bras (XL:Fit 34D,36B,36C,38A,38B,38C, Purple)) claiming to be for “post-surgery” I got the purple one but it is more of a “crayola” true purple than the mauve-purple shown in the seller’s pics. I like the zipper covers on the top and bottom which are great for comfort, but a little lumpy-looking under a shirt. The pad inserts are nice to give a little shape and the zipper is amazing for reducing the dreaded uniboob! It is also one of the best for support, but I would still say only low to medium impact for smaller cupped women. As a D-cup, I wear this bra either doubled up with another bra or with a Boobuddy (Boobuddy Adjustable Breast Support Band Sports Bra Alternative, Pink).

5.) AM Clothes zip-front bra (Womens Racerback Wirefree Sports Bra, 34C/34D/36A/36B/36C, Rose Red) – Anyway, this bra is so similar to the Wanayou zip-front bra, that I had to check the packaging to differentiate. Much of the same applies: It has nice zipper covers on the top and bottom for comfort, but a little lumpy-looking under a shirt. It has pad inserts for shape and the zipper reduces the dreaded uniboob! It is also one of the best for support, but I would still say only low to medium impact for smaller cupped women. As a D-cup, I wear this bra either doubled up with another bra or with a Boobuddy.

I am also including pics of the bra closed and partially opened, so you can see how much it actually pulls my breast together and it might give you an idea of the strength / support, I hope. Anyway, since shopping for bras when you have “mom boobs” is a tough decision, I hope this review helped!

************ UPDATE January 2019 *********************
I feel differently about this bra now. I used to use it during sleep, but it is so difficult to close with seemingly a million clasps but worst of all, the bottom clasp is not low enough so there is a cloth flap on both sides that becomes itchy and annoying when wearing for longer than a few minutes. Now, it’s a sleep bra of last resort, and then only if I put something (cloth, etc.) between it ans my skin. Bummer.
