Carole Martin Slip-On Wireless Comfort Sleep Bra for Women

Lightweight and mostly comfy

I have worn these bras for a number of years. They are very comfortable. They are great to wear for X-rays and MRI's because they don't have any metal parts. I wear a 36 and when I was heavier, I wore a 38. This is my everyday bra. Have tried others, but always come back to this one.

I wanted to try this bra since it is slightly different than others I've tried. I always get bras that pull over my head (or when my shoulder is hurting, I literally pull my bras up from my feet so I don't strain as much) because I cannot deal with hardware any more. I gave that up several years ago mostly because the back fasteners always seemed to hit on a spot on my backbone that caused mucho pain--ouch. I also hated how most bra straps are too thin and so cut uncomfortably into my shoulders. I have been wearing Rhonda Shear and a certain type of Hanes nylon bra (which has become harder to locate of late). I've also tried a whole variety of sports bras, but now I'm finding they are just either too confining and tight in my size or I get too much of a uniboob look even though I'm not large breasted. I got this one because the reviews said the material is very smooth (and it is for the most part). Also it appears to have decent separation of the girls. What I found is that the girls (size B cup) just hung there inside the cups even though the fit seems correct for them. The main problem for me is the straps which are way too long for me. I am short waisted at this point in my life (I used to be long!) since I have shrunk from 5'5 1/2" to 5'2" due to 3 neck surgeries and aging. You may think the long straps are what made the girls just hang inside the cups, but even when I held the straps as tight as I could get them, they still hung there. The one surprise was the band that goes around the chest. When I saw that it was elastic, I thought, "oh no, that'll be uncomfortable." But, in fact, it was very comfortable. Had the girls looked perkier and the straps been shorter, I would have kept this bra, but the straps were just way too off. For comparison, I am 110# and I got a small.

** Updated review 7/9/17: the seller sent me a smaller size at no cost & it fits perfectly. Carole Martin read my original review and sent me an email offering a different size bra at no cost. I replied, requested a size 40 (instead of the 42 I originally ordered) and it fits perfectly. The straps are the right length, the band under the cups is very comfortable and the gathers beneath the cups are invisible when the bra is on. This is some of the most amazing customer service I've seen in a long time. I never expected to receive an unsolicited offer for a FREE replacement asking for nothing more than an updated review - be it positive or negative. Thank you! I'll definitely order Carole Martin products in the future - maybe even another one of these bras because it's incredibly comfortable. I'm an average 'B' cup and the bra fits perfectly. I normally fit in size 42 so the band does run a bit large - but I would rather have it a bit large than the other way around. Excellent customer service. Thanks again. **Runs very large and the gathers at the bottom of the cups are very visible. The straps are also too long. Because the cups are 'one size fits all' there's no way to buy a smaller cup that might allow the gathers to be less visible. I'm an average 'B' cup and the cups were MONSTROUS on me! I recommend the Bali 103J ('Barelythere Women's Microfiber Crop Top' / 'Bali Women's Comfort Revolution Seamless Crop Top'). Both of these bras are very comfortable although they don't provide a tremendous amount of support. I'm wearing mine inside the house and for very light yard work such as watering plants. Unless you're small busted or wearing a loose T-shirt I wouldn't wear these to the store. I think they're more suited for sleeping and for women who need a small amount of support at all times. I've had reconstructive breast surgery 4 times and the Bali bras are so comfortable I can wear them all day & barely know I have them on.

No support, but maybe could wear under a nightgown for some reason.

I liked the design and comfort. Hope you continue to carry them

Edit Jan. 2020:I now own two of these, one in black and one in beige, in the same size, and practically live in them 24/7, except when more structured support is socially called for. They’re THAT comfortable.FYI: there appears to be some degree of sizing inconsistency within this model, or perhaps from color to color. My beige one feels a bit looser in band and cup fit than the black one, so much so that I actually considered returning it at first.Original review:Overall, I’m very impressed with this bra. Being a 36F, it’s nearly impossible to find lounge bras which contain assets without spillage, don’t result in a uniboob, let you breathe, yet don’t pull up the back band under the weight. This one is actually extremely comfortable, super light and breathable, and just works.I do wish that the cups went up a little bit higher on the sides and the straps were a little bit shorter though, as I’ve got some side cleavage going on. But it’s a lounge/sleep bra, so not that big of a deal. Going to order more.

My hand and forearm are in a cast. I can't fasten and unfasten hooks. I started to get a velcro bra but decided on this instead. I love that I can just pull it over my head and stick my arms through. Then, I just situate my double Ds and voila! I did all this with one hand. The support is minimum but enough. Very comfy.This doesn't feel restrictive like most bras. I could sleep in it or work out and feel fine. Will definitely keep using after my cast comes off.

I have a broken wrist and this bra helped me!! It was easy to pull over my head and fit nicely.

Advertising slogan of this bra - So comfortable, you will forget you have it on. No way!. Didn't happen to me. I can perfectly feel its pressure around my chest and after few hours I'm dying to take ot off. I can't even emaging sleeping in it. And it's my size. I have 36" around my chest and I ordered 38, which I always buy in regular bras. So to get that fool freedom feeling they are talking about I probably have to buy 40" or even 42. But afraid it'll be too loose then. May as well wear nothing at all.And I realized it only AFTER I wore it for a day. I don't have a face to return a bra that I started to wear. So I have to keep it. Maybe it'll get better after washing, will see.And it makes my brest shape absolutely unflattering, it just presses boobs in like a sports bra but without the support.Same thing happened with Carol Martin front closure bra. I don't like them both. Waisted my money by trusting good reviews

This is a straight up granny looking bra ok? But it's sooooo comfortable and my boobs don't creep out of it at night like they do every other night time bra. Soft and fits as expected.I'm a 34 DD and got the 36 size and it's not as tight as I would like but still good. I ordered another in the really sexy beige color and went down a size

Definitely lifts the girls!I do know this bra is there, not as comfortable as I hoped for.Fits as described. I ordered a 34.

I have one in every colour. Great value for your money and so comfortable.
