I have been buying this bra for at least the last 10 years. It is quite a good minimizer for a large bust. However, its price has increased quite a bit and I am thinking of trying something else in my next purchase. As for its underwires, yes I can confirm that they break even if the elastics have not worn out.

I haven't changed this bra for about 8 years! It is the best thing I have tried in minimizer for large breasts. It's worth its money!

I have been buying this particular model constantly since it was released many years ago. It offers very good support and a pleasant feeling due to its exceptional seamless fabric. Its main drawback is that its wires do not have protective coating, they rust from sweat to the point of decomposition and break within a few months. So you throw it away before even the straps or fabric get damaged. Sometimes I manage to remove the rusted metals and replace them with new wires, but most of the time they are so damaged that they cannot be removed. It's a shame they don't use better quality wires.
