The stretch is helpful with swollen breast, but compresses enough to hold the girls from jostling around too much. I like that there are removable pads which gave added protection during healing. These are a life saver after breast augmentation.

Please remember to wash before wear as color bleeds, a lot. Not an issue for me after prewash. I am a 34d which is hard to find a good fitting comfortable bra.

I'm a d cup and these need a fastener at the top or bottom of the zipper, trying to zip this up is a pain. There is no clip with the zipper so it will on it's own unzip about halfway. The odor is still very strong in the fabric. It's very soft.
