This is @ThirdLove's 24/7 Classic T-Shirt bra and I was so so excited to try it. I want to love it so much but the cups cut into my armpits. It's so soft and smooth and I love the company but I just don't think I can keep this bra.
This is a common problem for me. I wish I could deal with this but I am all about comfort when it comes to clothes.
I'm going to try a different style from ThirdLove and hopefully find something that works.

Edit 2/23/17:
After wearing this bra a day or two and loosening the straps almost all the way (a thing I have NEVER had to do before), I have changed my mind.
The top of the cups near my armpits are still wider than I'd like but overall, this bra is very comfortable. I haven't had an everyday underwire bra since I was 17-19. I'm so glad I gave this bra another chance.

Edit 4/3/2017:
I wear this bra all the time now. Sometimes the straps slip a little but oh my heavens this is a comfortable bra. I can wear it all day. Plus! It gives me some separation so I don't get the cleavage sweat so much. I love love LOVE this bra.

Edit 5/25/2020:
After 3 years of wear and tear, the underwire finally broke through and stabbed me in the ribcage. All in all, this is a great bra. But I will say, since discovering the full coverage bra, I don't know that I'd go back to this one again.

This bra is not owned any more

  Have you tried loosening the straps as far as possible? Sometimes that helps. People tend to overtighten straps after they get resized because they're so used to having to do that as it was the only way to get some lift in their previous, less-than-optimal size.

  I was having difficulty with a halter bra I recently purchased. First, I crossed the straps and temporarily attached them to the band. Then, I lengthened them twice in that configuration. Finally, I attached them to the band without crossing and very near the fasteners. From a physics perspective, this final location reduced the amount of stress along the top of the outer cup where I have breast tissue that was, otherwise, protesting. wendybien, thanks for your suggestion, because it spurred some analysis of forces :-)

• wendybien I just thought of that after posting the review!! It helps so much. The cups still aren't perfect but it's comfortable and the bra was really affordable (comparatively). Thanks for the suggestion!!

• oh good I'm glad it helped!
