Grenier Extreme Comfort Cotton Soft Cup Short Strap Bra 8566s Reviews

The shorter strap size is perfect for petitte women. The bra is soft and comfortable. The only problem I have with this bra is that the cup size doesn't seem to be a true "C" The coverage appears to be a "B" cup. I'm spilling over the top which I don't care for very much. I thought I would solve the problem by ordering a cup size up, but a "D" cup is not offered in this bra. Would be a perfect Petite bra if the cup size was a true fit but it's not. I'll keep the one I have but will not be ordering any more. I will look for other brands that offer a short strap and hopefully will have a true cup size. Rebecca

Please stock more short-strap bras! Love the bra and will buy more. Finally, a short-strap, wireless, plain-but-pretty, supportive and comfy bra that fits a 34C! Though I wish it had a wider strap in the back (3-hooks instead of 2) -- it is a C-cup, after call. L from W

Ahhhh, yes. This is the most comfortable bra I have found. The cotton blend is surprisingly supportive and it looks normal under t-shirts. I fear it might be on the short-lived side due to the fabric. I am 4'11" and the straps fit me better than any bra I've ever worn. Finally! (More colors would be wonderful, natch, and I'd like a skinnier strap.) AK

I'm very petite at 4'9" and so many bras that come in my size 30b/c have straps that are much too long. I love that these straps don't have to be as tight as they can go! Like some others, I do find the band to be on the smaller/tighter side but I actually don't mind that as it helps the bra stay in place and not shift around on my during the day and as it is 90% cotton, there is the potential for it to loosen up over time and being able to go tighter on the band would counteract that problem. I mostly wear a 30c so I was a little hesitant on the 30b because I was afraid I might end up with quad boob but I don't at all and I find the bra gives me a very nice rounded and natural shape. Now if we could get them in more colors and also with a thin strap version...! tara from TN

As everyone wrote, the shoulder straps are indeed short. I have never had to put straps on the loosest setting before, but now I have, and I wish they'd go a little looser. But even with the straps pulled that tight, the top of the thing still kind of gapes off me in the upper inner parts of it, and this is when I am wearing the 30A. I wear a 32B in La Senza bras. So the thing runs big, but seems to be made for people whose breasts occur just inches below their chin. Therefore, I am not sure who this bra is made for :-) Did Grenier even have a fit model when they designed this? Amy from Detroit metro/ Michigan/USA

This bra fits smaller than other bras. It is shapeless as well, and makes you look like you are not wearing a bra..

Grenier Response: We suggest that you try another type of bra, one with a lightly padded cup to provide you with more fullness to your silhouette. Ann from Kansas

It has good support and little to no see through, but it's not the most comfortable bra to wear for long periods. I think it's because the fit is tight (which I like usually) but the bra band is very narrow so maybe if that was wider it would be more comfortable. I do like it, just not for long wearing days. cheri from santa cruz ca usa

Bought this one for my elderly mother. Only problem is the straps are a little too short, however, she wanted to keep it because it was so comfortable otherwise. Very difficult to find a bra that fits her due to her tiny frame. Flora from Georgia

The straps are very short, so I am not completely happy with this bra. Otherwise it is very comfortable. Renee from Missouri

My search for a 32b cotton wireless, padless bra is now over! I just received mine in the mail today and by far, this is the most comfortable and supportive bra ever. This bra fits me true to size and I've been fitted at several stores that confirm that I am a 32b. For me, the shorter straps fit perfect and I wear this bra on the second notch. I will be ordering several more! Thank you! debi from deltona, florida

I'm always looking for a good supportive bra without wires or pads. this bra is it! the petite sized straps are also great. i'm a little smaller than a 32 and this doesn't ride up. i only wish bras like these were a little prettier and came with skinnier straps! i will be buying more though. sarah

The bra fit perfectly, but it is not modest. It is not as thick as the pictures makes it appear, it is very light cotton. I had to sew in my own modest padding, considering it is difficult to find my size in other places. S

It is the best fitting bra I have worn in a long time. I did order two more but decided to try the same style with the longer straps. They have not arrived yet, so I can't comment on them. This bra is snug and I am most comfortable in a bra that is a bit on the tight side since I am a runner and am used to that fit from jog bras. Love it and I am stocking up! cheriaptos from aptos

Well made. A bit tight (I have it on last hook). Comfortable, doesn't really ride up. My first sports bra with no real cup that actually fits (I'm really a "nearly an A" cup). Worth the money. My 4th petite bra. This will be great in the hot summer! Karen from Albuquerque, NM
