For the firsttime I actually feel like a sports bra fits! And with my RA the front closure is so needed. Submitted from TheUndies.com

I thought the fabric was comfortable. The straps stay up without having to play with them which is why I like the racerback. The zipper was pushing through the top I was wearing. Since I'm using it as a sports bra, it was fine. If I was considering wearing it under other clothing, I'd be careful to see if the zipper outline was visible. Sally from Silver Spring MD USA

I like this bra very much. At my size, 44D nearly all bras are very uncomfortable, but this one is fine. It also holds up in the wash quite well, tho I let it air-dry. I think dryers do more damage to bras than people realize. It took a while -about 2 monts- to receive the bra, but it was worth the wait. Luckily, I already owned one. Katherine from Reno

I just had reconstruction surgery after a bilateral mastectomy. These bras are, literally, just what the doctor ordered me to get, and with great reason. The are comfortable and supportive, and they allow my skin to breathe, considering I need to wear them pretty much around the clock. If you have to go through this experience, these bras will definitely help you start feeling back to normal again. Anne from Pelham, NH

The fit was perfect. It's a very comfortable and supportive bra. I just had breast surgery and was looking for a front opening bra for every day wear that didn't look like a sport bra under clothes. It fits the bill and the bonus is I don't have to change the bra before yoga class. I'll probably buy three more. Sheila from New York, NY

I just had shoulder replacement surgery. The bra is everything I had hoped it would be. The fit is perfect. It does not creep up and is very comfotable. It also does not come too close to the incision site. I will be ordering another one soon. Ann from Annapolis, MD USA

This should not be called a sports bra. There is no support at all and the zipper likes to come open on its own. It's great for casual lounging but not for working out.

ValmontResponse: We are sorry this bra did not work for you, this has great reviews and has such a great demand. Karen from Winder GA USA

I love this bra. When it gets a little warm in there, you can zip it open and let the girls breath!!! Submitted from TheUndies.com

This is the most comfortable bra EVER! Nice support but does not squeeze or flatten you out. Feels like a hug. Not for high impact. Material is very soft. For anyone who has had surgery for any reason, this is perfect. DLD from Massachusetts

I have injured my shoulder and could not remove my sports bra after working out. The front closure is fantastic. Just what I needed. Julie from Fort Worth Texas

I bought this to wear when when I walk. I was expecting it to be a little tighter to provide support when you "bounced." There's no way it would provide normal sports bra support if I were running, but that's okay; I don't run yet. If I ever graduate to a running phase, I will need to buy another bra. For now, I am super happy to have bought this bra for all the other comforts it brings. It's a front closure bra. The zipper has big teeth yet you can't feel them. It is super easy to fasten. It holds in ALL of my chub. The bottom of the cups do not get as sweaty as others do. The racer back is a lightweight mesh that you can't feel is there. Lastly, the rest of fabric is so breathable you can't really tell you are wearing a bra. I've already worn it as a bedtime bra twice. When/if I wear out this one, I'll certainly be buying another one. ELI from HOUSTON

Offers fairly good support by compression, but they don't last very long, nor do they come in a good variety of sizes.

Valmont Response: This style comes in 34-48 B/C and D/E. The B/C is small enough to fit most B cups and stretches enough to comfortably fit most C cups Same goes for the D/E in these cup sizes. We feel that this range covers a lot of sizes. Maggie from Columbus, OH

I had a Breast Reduction January 30th, 2013 and searched for weeks for the "best" bra---I found it with this front zip Valmont bra and you cannot beat the price!!! The sizing for me was spot on-I originally bought the next size up the 34 D/DD for just after surgery thinking I would need bigger-not so should have bought the right size from the beginning 34 B/C-that was the right size...I wore the bigger for the first week and then reordered these--PERFECT! The bra washes great, line dry it and all will be well. Customer Service was great for deciding size and for returning. Great Company and when I am ready for a "new bra" for my girls--coming to HerRoom. I also use the Genie Bra which also was very comfortable and because of the ability to step into it was also a good inexpensive choice. SAES from West Palm Beach USA

Fantastic Bra. I fell a few times and injured my shoulders and can not hook regular back bra. This was perfect. Zips right up with ease. I plan on purchasing 2 more as soon as I get my check. Thanks you so so much for making such a great product. shirley

Very impressed with the sports bras. Ordered to wear after breast lift and augmentation surgery and even the doctor made a comment on how nice they were. Pleased. DANA from DUNEDIN, FL

Zipper can be very hard to use sometimes, other times it is fine. It also seems to be for left handed people. My other bras zip on the other side and are much easier to zip up than these.

Valmont Response: We are sorry to hear that you had difficulty with this bra. This is the first complaint ever received about the zipper. The zipper does attach/hook opposite from what is normal, but once hooked, it zips directly up. JFK

This bra fits great! It's the first time this style bra had ample room in the cup and fit in the back also. I would have given it a 5 star rating but the zipper doesn't always stay up. Other than that I love this bra. Lisa from North port

My only complaint is that they rub a bit on my armpit. Otherwise they were very comfortable. I wore them starting immediately after my breast augmentation and found them to be comfortable and supportive. They did not rub on my incisions at all. Kris from Coeur d'Alene, ID USA

I love these Bras and this website. I have bought 10+ of these bras. The first set I ordered were too big but I was able to exchange them, no problem. These are practically the only Bras that I wear and yes, I have had Breast surgery due to cancer. Only complaint about this site was "Pay Later". Satisfied Customer

Returned for refund, as it was to large.

Way too small even though I bought a much larger size because of previous reviews. Even the 40 was too small but I needed it as I was post surgery breast reduction. Band also rides up and irritates incision. Good bra but not for post op use.

Valmont Response: Sorry this bra didn't work for you fro post surgery, but it continues to be a very strong selling bra with a good following. Kempcp from New Jersey
