These “bralettes” are great! This review will cover SIZING, WORKING OUT and WASHING….
I do medium/high impact workouts. And good workout bras are EXPENSIVE! One day all my good workout bras were dirty, so I doubled up on these bras. And guess what, with 2 of these bras at the same time (1 camisole bralette & 1 sports bralette) – I was just as supported as my good workout bra – for a whole $8!Here is what I have learned.TYPES – There are now MANY types of bras under this one heading. I have both the CAMISOLE type and the SPORTS BRALETTE type (both have spaghetti straps are not adjustable). I would NOT call them sports bras, but rather “bralettes” or shelf bras. They feel like cotton and have non-adjustable straps (but the non-adjustability does not seem to be an issue for most people). I bought both in the white, black, grey sets. The sports bralette type has ruching, that doesn’t look all that great and doesn’t really add to the bra. But the straps of the sports bralette are really cute. The sports bralette comes with ONE set of padded inserts that can be moved from one sports bralette to the other. Because I always wear a shirt when working out, these inserts are unnecessary, so I am not using them. The set of inserts comes with the sports bralette, but NOT with the camisole type. To confirm you are buying the correct type, make sure you click on the color options and look at the accompanying photos, because the DESCRIPTION DOES NOT CHANGE!SIZING – I am a 34D(or DD) or a 36C/D. And with these bralettes I wear a 38. It feels snug and appropriately supported. For the bralettes I bought, the camisole type actually fits a bit more snug and the sports bralette type fits a bit looser.Given my sizing and what I have read from the other reviews, here is how I would guess the sizing works:A cup – go actual size.B cup – Sports Bralette go actual size, Camisole go up 1 size.C cup – go up 1 size.D cup – go up 1 size for Sports Bralette and 2 sizes for Camisole.DD and bigger – go up 2 sizes. But if you are well endowed with a small rib cage (e.g., 32 DD or bigger) then this bra may not work for you, because if you go up more than 2 sizes, the band at the bottom may be too big. (But again, for me with a 34D(or DD) or a 36C/D – a 38 is perfect.)Whew – get all that? 🙂 Again, this is all only a guess – but hopefully my guessing helps a little. Basically the bigger your cup size, the more sizes up you need to go.(UPDATE: It is now May 2020, we are 2 months into the COVID 19 Pandemic and are “sheltering in place”. Consequently it is now 2 months since I have worn an underwire bra! Even though my size 38s are still great and still work after 3 years of use, they are now a bit tighter, so I use them when I want more support/working out. But I wanted something a little less tight for “sheltering in place”, so I bought a size 40 of the “sports bralette” with the ruching. I am essentially living in them – both for sleep and working around the house all day. But the reason for writing this update (beside the fact that these are truly good enough to live in) is that the sports bralettes I just purchased no longer have the separate pad to insert into the bralette for ‘modesty’. So if you order the sports bralette it is unlikely that you will receive a removable pad.)HOW I WEAR THEM – I use the camisole type when I have a low cut shirt and too much cleavage is a bit inappropriate. Sometimes I wear it alone, or sometimes I wear my bra under it. I also use it alone for low impact sports (I just wore is skiing and it was perfect.) Or for my high impact workouts I use the sports bralette type and the camisole type together – in the same color, and all the straps look pretty cute! Also, because the straps are all in different places, it doesn’t hurt my neck/top of my shoulders like some of my “real” sports bra do – the pressure/weight is spread out if you use the 2 different bra types together. (I have included 3 pictures of my back: a) camisole; b) sports bralette and c) both together.)WASHING: make sure to hang dry these bras – but other than that I have had no issue with either the quality or the washing of these bras. The directions say to hand wash and hang dry, but machine washing and hang drying seem to be fine. (On the other hand, if they are too big when you buy them, stick them in the dryer, because they will shrink a bit!)IN SUM – at $4-5 a bra it is an amazing price point. And for $8-10 to double them up and use them for workouts is awesome! And they are much cuter than my ugly old workout bras. I hope this is helpful to you!2018 UPDATE: I have now been using the same bralettes (2 packs of 3) for more than a year. They have gotten a hint smaller over time (even though I always hang them dry). But they still fit, they still have great elastic, they are still soft and they still look just as good as the day I bought them. These have been a GREAT purchase!

size up if you have bigger boobs
if you have a bigger bust but your normal band size in a 38, i would definitely recommend sizing up. i bought these to wear to bed and just for lounging around the house (i know im weird but i’ve just never felt comfortable doing anything without a bra), and i do like these they are definitely really comfortable but my boobs don’t really fit tbh

New everyday bra
These don’t have much support, but I’ve been wearing them around the house w some cozy jumpsuits and they are just the perfect under layer. Feel cute and comfortable with these on, and they’ll definitely be my new everyday casual bra. With the price tag I’m kicking myself for not discovering these earlier!

Breathable fits perfect
This is exactly what I was looking for. Can be a tiny bit heavier fabric, but for the price it works perfectly and it’s comfortable to even sleep in will definitely be buying more.

I have to update my review
Very comfortable and breathable.I got the 42 and it fits perfectlyI’m 5’4 170lbs with some rolls on my sides and these fit like a charm. I will be hanging them to dry because I don’t want them to shrink in the dryer.They do have some stretch as wellDefinitely buying moreUPDATE – so I was looking through the reviews trying to see if anyone experienced what I have and one person spoke up about this issue. The bottom lining is made up of synthetic elastic. It’s been really hot so I guess the mixture of synthetic elastic and a little sweat caused me to rash up. It’s pretty painful. I really like these but I guess I won’t be able to wear them in the summer.

great everyday bras
super sturdy great bras! bought these again to add to my collection because i hate wearing regular bras for work and these have a double lining in the front so there’s extra nip flattening/cover. i’ve had my first set of these for like 5 years and wear them daily, they’ve held up great. fabric hasn’t even worn after many many washes i love these bras

Highly recommend
Good quality, worked great especially under tank tops. The straps didn’t dig it, and easy to wash and comfortable to wear

Finally found one that leaves enough room so my breasts don’t fall out the bottom.

Love these bralettes! They are super comfy and I like that they aren’t racer back style, as I wear a lot of thin strapped tank tops and don’t like it showing at the back. Perfect for around the house, light impact exercise and sleeping in. I measured under my bust 31” and ordered a size 34 (32 was sold out in the colour I wanted). Fits perfectly, 32” would probably have been too tight and I have a small bust. The back is only one layer, so it’s a little sheer, as the material is thin, but the front is double-lined and not see-through. Great deal for the price, will be buying more!
