Let me start by saying, this bra has been a game-changer for my wardrobe. The Natori Refined Contour Underwire Bra is hands down one of the most comfortable underwire bras I've ever worn - and I've tried A LOT.
The cool-touch fabric truly lives up to its name. I wore it on a busy day running errands in 80°F weather, and unlike other bras that turn into sweaty torture devices, this one stayed breathable and comfortable all day.
The full fit stretch foam cups provide amazing natural shaping without that overly padded look. As someone who's always struggled with gaping at the top of cups, these lay perfectly flush against my skin. The wide lace neckline adds just enough feminine detail to feel pretty without being overly fussy.
Now let's talk support - the rave back design is genius! It provides serious lift and smoothing where you need it most, without any uncomfortable digging or tightness. After wearing it for 12+ hour days, I'm shocked at how little I notice I'm wearing an underwire bra.
A few things to note: The band does run slightly stretchy (I sized down after my first purchase). And while the lining is minimal, DD+ wearers might prefer even less padding. But at this price point (especially when you catch it on sale), the quality-to-cost ratio is outstanding.
After testing multiple colors over several months, I can confidently say this bra holds up beautifully to regular wear and washing. It's become my daily go-to that works equally well under t-shirts as it does with dressier outfits. If you're looking for that elusive combination of comfort, support and subtle sex appeal - your search might just end here.
