Yes! And definitely in the summer

Someone mentioned the coobie peeking out of most of their shirts. This is true depending on the style. The original one definitely shows but I often like that in leui of wearing a camisole. Yesterday I wore my grey one which I purchased not too long ago to wear with a particular sweater. I put it on at about 2 PM and by 9 PM I couldn't wait to take it off. The band was very uncomfortable. I cannot wear 5 out of the six I have for more than a few hours. I have been checking out the bralettes on that Her Room site. Will probably order some but I am going to visit the Hanes outlet near me first. Thanks for the recommendation.

Thanks for any advice you can give.

They have one I think they call a sport bra. It is lower cut and has wider straps but they are not adjustable. I am not sure they would be OK for a C cup though.

Leslie- is there still an outlet in Liberty Village? I have not been there in years. I wish there was still one in Forestall Village. I think that one is long gone.

My coobies arrived yesterday. They are comfortable indeed. I might recommend that the make some of the skinny strap models in sizes,not just one size fits all. I got one of the one sizers, and it fits but isn’t as supportive.

I went to Kohls and ended up buying a few of these Jockey bras:

They are pretty comfortable but I had to size up a bit. I wore it for about 5 hours before it started to bother me. For now I am keeping the beige and white one but I placed another order with True and Company. I liked the v neck True Body bra I got from them a few weeks ago so I thought I would try some other styles. I ordered this in the wine color:

And this in the black:

Expensive but they had a Halloween sale.
