Grenier Lifestyle Underwire Full Support Shaping Bra 8494 Reviews

My shoulders are thanking the fact that the girls are being held up wider and strongers. They were getting to heavy. Thank you! Shopping Mouse from Palm Beach Gardens, FL, USA

I really like this bra, it's very comfortable, moves with your body. The reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is because of the fabric, specifically the straps, they are very itchy! After several washings it still scratches my skin so much it makes me not want to wear it~ zoesmom from California

This is a terrific bra if you are large breasted and need support. It is comfortable, even on the shoulders where one usually feels some pain. The wider straps are a plus. It also fits nicely of you are generally slim but a bit over-endowed on top. I would certainly recommend it if you are looking for those things. That said, if you are looking for pretty and sexy, this definitely is NOT it. But at this point in my life I am generally satisfied with a bra that looks good with my clothes on and gives me support.

I loved this bra, unfortunately I was unable to get a good fit do to extensive back surgery. However I loved the softness of the fabric and the accuracy of the fit and will recommend this to a friend. I love HerRoom because you display the back of the bra - that is a must for me!

This is the second time I've purchased this bra. I really like it. It's comfortable and supportive. My first one seems to be holding up well after a number of washings. The only reason I did not give it all 5 stars is because it doesn't breathe well. I can't wear it on a hot summer day. BonnieB from Chadds Ford

Well made, but not enough support. Anonymous from Maryland

This is a really nice bra -- nicely shaped and natural looking with good containment and support. I'd say it does run a little small in the cups, and in the band too, but I could have worked with that, and the bigger problem for me was that the straps are too short. I am tall (just under 5'10") and have this problem with Wacoal as well -- those nice wide strap sections on the Awareness and Body Suede bras run from the top of the cup to the front of my shoulder. Very frustrating. This Grenier's straps weren't quite that short, a bit better than the Wacoals', but I still couldn't make them long enough so the band would set where it should on my back without pulling and making for back fat. If you're shorter though, you may not have this problem and you could give this Grenier a try. Seemed like it would have been very comfortable, comparable to the Awareness and Body Suede, or maybe even a bit better. But I unfortunately have to return it. Kitty from NYC

Bra sizing is small. I ordered a 36c, could have made it 38c. Band is rather tight. Dee from Tracy ca usa

Thought this bra would be great. The fit was good, the support was good. Unfortunately the clasp dug into my skin all day. When I tried it on, I had great hopes so I took off the tags. BONNIE from PHILADELPHIA

I purchased other bras of this make and really like them so I decided to order directly from you. The bra is great. I use them for every day and also for the gym due to the great support. Hilda

I was fitted at a store for this bra so I knew it was the right one for me. It is very comfortable. I bought one and then went to your site and bought two more as your prices were less than the store. You are right about not washing them in the washing machine. I did and one of the seams on the strap came apart. I had to sew it back together. Otherwise, it is a very comfortable bra. choirlady from W. Melbourne, FL

This Bra is comfortable, fits well, and I can wear it all day and forget I'm even wearing a bra. I love the smooth cups, I can wear it with anything. Some bras wear the person. This is one you will wear, and be glad you are. Debi from Salem, OR

The cup size runs small. I still wear on occasion, but not often. I do have another style of greiner bra that I love and fits perfect. I would not buy this style again. wjg from ohio

This bra is a very comfortable "every day" undergarment. It doesn't pinch or bind. It certainly isn't the prettiest bra I've ever had but the fit and comfort make it great for wearing during the work day. I don't have to worry about the straps digging into my shoulder or falling off of my shoulders. After getting fitted and finding out my real bra size, I am very happy to have found such a comfortable underwire bra. R.C. from San Antonio, Texas

The cup was way too small and started oozing out of both the top and bottom of cup. I ordered my regular size and it was too small. I'll keep trying only with another brand. Lu from MN

Tried two different sizes (discussed w/ customer service) and both sizes the cups are too small. Jessica from KY

I would probably be without a bra if Grenier or Wacoal didn't make bra's. Being a 44DD is difficult finding a bra that isn't old lady-ish & comfortable. Or one that actually IS a 44DD. Most don't fit. This bra has great support and most importantly for me,.SIDE support. I think the wire could be a bit more cushioned along w/the band, and the fabric softer & the cups more rounded. This bra gives me a tad more projection, which a DD doesn't need. Other than that,..Grenier bra's work for me. MARY from CHICAGO IL

One of the MOST comfortable bras I have ever worn! It doesn't ride up - the fit was perfect. You begin to forget you're even wearing it! What more can full busted woman want! Terri from Oxnard, California

Every bra I've bought in the past 2-3 years have the same problem...when I lift my arms, I start to come out the bottom of the bra. This is the FIRST bra I've found that does not do that. It's comfortable, fits great and washes well!! I am totally pleased with this product. Barbara B from Monroe Twp, NJ
