SHAPERMINTBras for Women - Bras for Women no Underwire, Bralettes for Women Plus Size, Wireless Push up Bra

A great product once you figure out the correct size. They provide comfort and support but do not expect to be sexy! Lol. They come with back extenders but they do stretch out after a while of wearing and washing. Still the fabric held up quite well and I bought these again when I lost weight because of their comfort and shaping. I have beige, black, and light pink and will probably purchase a couple more in brighter fun colors. But this brand and style has been my go too for several years. I’m a 34DDD /128lbs /5’2”. I wear a medium in tops and I bought a large and they fit great. The straps do not adjust and can be a little tight to start but they stretch some and hold there shape for a year+ of everyday wear. If you have a long torso they might not fit as well.

Okay I have purchased 3 bras from this brand. This bra is AMAZING. High quality, comfortable, made well, and I can wear them all day while I work in an office (with mild physical activity throughout the day.) Here’s the thing - some of the other colors are made a little cheaper. The light purple and dark green versions on this listing are Truekind and not quite the same. They are still comfortable but the fabric is not quite as soft and stretchy. They feel snug going on but within five minutes they have relaxed into a comfortable shape. I think they are still good for the price point but I am on the lookout for other colors that are like this Rose Tan bra (the pink one). I am going to try the latte one next.

This one is definitely a keeper. First, it's super comfortable. To the point that it doesn't feel confining at all. It feels like it's hugging all around the sides and back without digging in and leaving that horrible elastic ring. You all know what I'm talking about there. The pads are nice and thin and don't make it feel like I've added half a cup size. Mainly they feel more supportive than anything else. The sizing is pretty true to size, but there is some wiggle room, so you could probably size up or down one size. I would definitely recommend this one.

Wow, where to start? With the positive or the negative? The negative will outweigh the positive yet there is almost always some good if you look hard enough. Also included is a Mystery.Mystery: Is “truekind” the same as Shapermint? All the labeling says “truekind” (lowercase T); the stamped labeling on the bra (see photo), and the bra tags. Maybe you who create the ads could have some truth in advertising and state that it is “truekind sold by Shapermint”?The Positive: Very well constructed from a seamstress' point of view. It’s very soft (as opposed to being scratchy), it’s thick fabric (not flimsy) and stretchy (nicely stretchy), and it’s crazy comfortable. The straps are wide enough and do not dig in. The band does not dig in and leave red marks. It felt good on my skin. Nice color (Rose Tan) for me. It comes with a bra extender which I will not need but I can use it with another brand of bra I own that has become a little tight. It is stretchy and snug like a good pair of leggings, but not like compression leggings or stockings. Not that kind of tight. It is a comfort bra, maybe closer to being a leisure bra.The Negatives: I probably should have sent it back after trying it on, but it was so… comfortable! and soft! and… well, I’m out $29 and of course it went “on sale” ($3 cheaper) after I received it. I could not decide what I wanted to do (keep or send back) so I wore it all day (around the house). I even left the tags on. I had not planned on wearing it all day. I so wanted it to work for me. By the end of the day, I didn’t feel right returning it, as it was no longer factory clean. Like people who buy a dress, leave the tags on, wear it to a party, and then return it. I can't do that and live with myself.I ordered the 4x. FIRST thing that was obvious to me is that this is NOT an H cup AT ALL. It is definitely a G and maybe even leaning towards a DDD (aka F). I can’t use the band at the bottom as the intended band at the bottom… because the cups would not cover my breasts if I did. The band now becomes an extension of the cup. Which makes it closer to an H cup. But it would need to be a triple width band to make it closer to normal coverage (like the model in the Rose Tan picture shows). And YES, I did order “my size”. If I were to place it on my girls to mimic the way it covers the top of the models breasts, the girls would slide out the bottom while I am active (as opposed to sitting quietly). The bottom line is the size chart LIES about the sizing. Of course not for everyone, but it’s a big fat LIE claiming it fits an H cup.SECOND, the straps are too long. I’m 5’10” and the straps are too long. And not adjustable. If I pull the back down to raise the front, the back slides up after awhile. I can't make the band tighter, it’s already the tightest setting. And it were tighter, it would not be comfortable. Which brings me to…THIRD: I’m a 44 band and I have it on the tightest set of hooks. Not good because it should be on the loosest set of hooks, or at least in the middle; so when it stretches out over time and needs to be a bit tighter I can make it tighter. I can’t go to a 3X because the cups would be even smaller.FOURTH: While it is a comfort bra, it travels too much. The back slides up and the front with its long straps slide down. Melon sacks. At best it restricts movement just enough so the girls are not swinging around when I move.Fifth: Normally I am not a fan of foam cups yet the shape of them is not bad even though they are not even close to an H cup. Most all foam cups are not my natural shape. Nor are these… they still throw some of the volume out to the sides.Verdict? Be honest about what brand this is, and have some truth in sizing instead of trying to suck customers in who are on the outer edges of sizing.

I've seen the name Shapermint someplace. Social media, perhaps. I recall they have a good reputation for being comfortable. This bra is indeed comfortable. The material is soft, particularly inside the cups. I feel slightly deceived, however.The main description-"SHAPERMINT Compression Wirefree High Support Bra for Women Small to Plus Size Everyday Wear, Exercise and Offers Back Support". The packaging says nothing about compression or high support. That is what I was looking for and expecting. The brand name "truekind" is all over the packaging and material inside the bag. Shapermint is just on a little sticker on the bag. This is confusing.For me, this is a leisure bra. Something I will only wear at home. If offers NO support whatsoever. Just some shaping, and a step above being braless. I didn't need another one of these. There is no back support, though I'm not even sure what that is supposed to be. On the plus-size models pictured, it fits well. On myself like most wire-free bras, the band immediately rolls up in the front, and bunches up on the sides and back. I need to adjust regularly. I think it is just the way my fat gut is positioned that makes all bras roll up, so I can't fault this bra for that. The shoulder straps are NOT thick as described. They are fairly narrow and dig in a bit. They also roll up, actually.Again, the material itself is very soft and comfortable. But I am disappointed that this bra is not at all "compression" or "high support". It's a leisure bra. This is supposed to be suitable for plus sizes, but I think it may be better suited for smaller breasted, average size women.
