Anita Jana Support Bra 5427 Reviews

The fit of this bra is nice, and for not having underwire the support is decent. It is a little on the hot side though. i purchased them to sleep in, and I haven't been able to, I find that I am sweating too much in them. I would rate a 4-5 stars if the fabric breathed a little better. Dawn from Manchester, MD

The most comfortable bra ever!! Was comfortable right out of the box, no break in time. Great for the summer because it breathes. Have already ordered another one. Flora from nj

I love this bra. Cotton, great support, especially around the back and under the arms. I went and bought 3 more. Will be absolutely great to have in the humid south this summer! Kate A from Houston

This is comfort with superior support. Doesn't ride up ANYWHERE. Cool enough to wear all day in hot humid Iowa! Rae from Iowa

I have always dreaded shopping for bras as trying to find one that fits properly is next to impossible. I couldn't imagine ordering one online, but I was unable to find anything in the stores, so I was very pleased when the very first one I ordered fit perfectly. The only thing I would have changed about it is the seam that goes across the front, but it has not proved to be a problem at all and I ordered my second one right away. Worth the money.

Very cool and comfortable--my skin likes it. The cups are cut a little big for me but I can live with it. Sue from Santa Cruz, CA

1) what gives with the front of the bra near the arms... who decided that anyone with this much chest could afford to have their arms rendered useless via this bra's straight jacket technique? Too much material near the arms in front of the bra... makes one feel very constricted.

2) the lift offered by this bra is minimal at best. the lift and separation make me feel a bit freakish as my breasts tend to head in that direction anyway, but the lift is the big part. I honestly don't see much difference between when I'm wearing the bra and not wearing the bra.

I've worn a 38 band forever and with this the band it is just slightly too big. It doesn't make for uncomfortable breathing(don't want that), but it also feels like the bra is going to slip (and it frequently does). This also contributes to the bra riding up in the back... another no no.

The cup size is accurate, I suppose, but again there is the fact that my boobs are truly going in opposite directions (the fact that my breasts have that torpedo effect is very annoying). I don't want uni-boob exactly but this much boob on the side is ridiculous.

I'd like to see a hint of elastic in the over the shoulder area. Again, too much restriction makes it hard for a woman to move.

All together I like this bra's attempt, but I can say from one very picky person to another, someone in the bra industry needs the "big" girls to help them decifer what will actually work.

I ususally buy Bodywise bras in Australia and they are the most comfortable I've found, but I'm trying for more support since I became a G cup.

HerRoom Response: We appreciate your review. Given the many positive comments about this bra from others, we can't help but wonder if you are confused on the sizing since in Australia, they size bras differently.

Anita Response: Wow - I never heard this before. Yes maybe you need to get info on how to fit the bra properly and to adjust the straps - that can help to get a better fit for the boobs' shape. Also this bra is made to give support all around and therefore we have to go wider in the straps and wider on the armhole to cover these areas. Susan from OP, KS

The band on this bra was too big, and they don't make them any smaller, so I've returned it to try for something else. I've been looking for a wireless bra that provides a lot of support, but with such a big band this definitely wasn't it. I've never tried anything from this brand before, so I'm not sure if it is just this style that runs large, or the whole brand.

Anita Response: Also one top selling bra in the US and worldwide for us - never heard of such a complaint. A very supportive bra with inside cotton material is also 5404 which runs till H cup even. Style 5448 is a Top seller and I would suggest that one. Meghan from Vermont

This is an amazingly comfortable bra. I have not had a cotton bra since, well, forever. It does not ride up, dig in or make me too warm. The straps stay put and are comfortable. I will be buying more Anita bras in the future. Karen from Neenah, Wisconsin

Sadly this bra does not work for me. C cup was too large, and B cup too small. Both had extra fabric puckering in the top portion of the cup. Lisa from MN

Returning to try the same style in a smaller cup size. New brand for me, and thankfully, "Anita" actually has a smaller cup size in this style -- a rarity in the supportive bra styles. I felt I was swimming in the cups...although the rest seemed just fine. Lisa from MN

This has been the best bra I have found, and I have spent a fortune looking for a comfortable bra that I would wear all day at home. Love this bra, but order a size larger as suggested by a former user Judy from Brodhead, Wisconsin USA

This is the best bra that I have ever owned. I forgot I was wearing it! The first time I wore it we were on vacation and we were horseback riding in the badlands. No problems. I will buy more of these Sharon from Texas

This is a great bra, particularly for summer, no nasty underwires to poke you and rub raw places on your skin. The bra has good support and is very comfortable to wear. I am buying a second one immediately. Theresa from Missouri

I have other Anita bras that I like a lot. I tried following the size guide for this bra and the band was fine,40,but the cup was way to large. It said if there was 8 inches difference you wear an H in this bra. I think maybe it should have been an E. But unfortunately I did not like the materiel or style well enough to try other sizes.

HerRoom Response: The measuring system really falls apart after a size D cup. If you are larger than a D, you really need to try on different cup sizes. June from Colonial Heights,Va,US

Not enough support or padding. I sag a lot and need more of a molded cup. I don't understand why bra manufacturers don't realize that older women need nipple coverage more than younger women!

HerRoom Response: Bras with light padding in the cups for modesty are called "contour" rather than "molded" bras. Susan from Lake Jackson, TX

I was not pleased with this bra at all. I found it to be very non supportive, and when you're as large as I am, you need all the support you can get. I feel it needs more side support and different material. It was rough and just not comfortable. But, with bra shopping online, it's just trial and error. I've decided to return it and exchange it for a brand I've previously purchased. Bobbi from Taylorsville

This is a very comfortable bra. It does not dig into my shoulders, that's nice. However it does not bring the girls up at all. I prefer my girls up and not hanging down around my waist. I would love this bra if it had good support and would look good under clothes. I will wear this one around the house. Certainly not out. Lisa from Fort Wayne
