Playtex Women's 18 Hour Active Lifestyle Full Coverage Bra #4159

I was ordering my usual fave Vanity Fair bras in a lower back size because I lost some weight recently and this bra came up as a suggestion. I took a chance and I absolutely love everything about it. Nice to get something different too. So comfortable and a perfect fit too. I like that there are 4 sets of back hooks (my VF bras only have 3). I also love the wide straps and the overall shape it makes. Will definitely order more in other colors!

This is honestly the closest thing I’ve found to a natural-feeling bra that still gives real support. A lot of bras either feel too stiff and uncomfortable or make everything feel like it’s sitting way too low by the end of the day. This one doesn’t do that. I really like that the straps and fit are adjustable because it helps you customize the support without feeling squeezed or trapped. It gives coverage and lift without looking overly bulky. I can actually wear it for hours without constantly thinking about taking it off the second I get home. If you want something comfortable, supportive, and practical for everyday wear, this one is definitely worth trying.

Bra fit good. Material is soft. I will purchase in other colors later.

I originally bought this in nude and was so happy with it that I came back for a second one in black! As a woman with larger breasts, finding a comfortable bra can be difficult, and one with support that has no underwire even MORE difficult unless you want to spend a car payment on it! Playtex has been around FOREVER (the first bra my mom bought for me back in the 60's was a Playtex). I have to admit, they have tended to be my "go to" most of my life although I have been known to step into a Victoria's Secret brick and mortar from time to time, as well as trying brands that my friends recommended. It's nice to have a bra that's comfortable, easy to hook, easy to wear, easy to wash, holds you up, looks natural, is reasonably priced and keeps you from having "spillage"! UPDATE - Dec 29, 2025 -- Just had to go back again! Picked it up in light beige and white as well because they were on sale for one-third of the original price. Ya just can't beat it!

I have had bad luck with bras all of my life, so buying one online was really a stretch for me. Bras always made my breasts feel way too heavy, made me feel hot (sometimes sweaty) and made huge indentations in my shoulders (even the ones with the extra padding to prevent that). I couldn't wait to get out of my bra when I got home. I figured I was just cursed. I was finally fed up with all of the strap and bra tugging and did some online research. I found this bra with good reviews but not convinced, I visited the Playtex website and I'm so glad I did. I found that [...] has a great site for measuring yourself to see if you're wearing the right bra. It even addresses what specific problems you have and how to fix it (i.e. bra straps slide down a lot-- your size is wrong, or "mushroom" bumps at the top of your bra, the straps may be too tight). I found that apparently the size I always thought I wore was wrong. I had measured myself before to find the right fit, but it was apparently not a good measure because I have never had a bra fit the way I wanted it to or thought it should. The size I was given on [...] was very different from the size I've been wearing. I was hesitant to order a different size, but finally decided to go ahead because the ones I had clearly were not working. I chose to buy Playtex because that was the sizing site I used. This particular bra had good reviews for people with ample breasts. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!! For the first time ever, I don't find myself tugging at the back to pull the bra down or constantly trying to find lost straps from where they fell into my sleeve. This bra is comfortable, breathable, and does the job. And, it looks good under a variety of different types of shirts. It's smooth, no lines, and looks natural, not pointy. It's not restrictive. It was listed as an "active lifestyle" bra so I sort of thought it would be like a sports bra, but I am happy to see it's not. I wear it with work outfits and at home in leisurely clothes and it's equally flattering and fitting for both. And, shocker of all shockers, I don't even remember to yank it off as soon as I get home because it's so comfortable I forget I'm wearing it. :) I'm going to order more.

Bra shopping is the worst. Losing weight and changing sizes doesn't make it better. This is a reliable brand, and the fit is o.k., and the straps are comfortable, and the back strap stays put pretty well. I don't think the cups are shaped all that well, but for the cost, it does the job of keeping the girls where they belong. Wish it were all cotton, but it's still pretty comfortable.

True to size and wonderful support! I try other brands but always come back to this Bra!!😁

Not good fit

Najlepsze biustonosz na swiecie.

This wasn't very comfortable. Kinda disappointed and it seemed to be tighter than normal (I wear L size for their other models and 38DD).

Verlässliche hohe Playtex Qualität, wenn nichts verrutschen soll und man sehr guten Halt braucht. Auch für Frauen, die NIE einen BH ohne Bügel tragen würden. Ich war echt baff, es bleibt alles am Platz, der Stoff ist unheimlich weich, und es gibt keine Nähte mehr und trotzdem formt der BH, indem er nach oben stützt und die Seiten einfängt. Auch keine Rückenröllchen. Echt eine tolle Verbesserung des 18-Stunden BHs.

I love this bra. I was telling my partner last night that I wish breasts were like Mr. Potato Head parts, where you could choose none, smaller ones, or bigger ones, depending on the needs of the day. This bra, for me, is the "smaller ones" option. It spreads, flattens, and minimizes in a way that's comfortable and looks nice. Good support for exercising. I used to buy them at Sears or the Bay, and I was so glad to see them on Amazon. Note that I always wear a 38C, and Amazon told me I should order a 36C for this. I didn't believe it, but I should have. I'm on the tightest hooks of the 38. I will be ordering more, for sure.

I bought 2 bras, this one fit the best, the cups are perfect, but I had to put an extender in the back. For a bra with no wire, it is quite comfortable and gives a good lift and shape. I'm an F cup.
