No Genie for me......I am a good and plenty girl, the Genie was an exercise to get into. For the first time since puberty I was flat chested with skin, tissue, and glands being shoved around above and below the garment. Thought I would have to call 911 to be released from it. DH had a laugh..........

NJ Quilter... the back is not a racer or t-strap but the straps are a little closer to center. I love this bra, the sides and back are bigger/higher and do not roll!

I have Genie bras and they squish me flat and make my neck ache after a while because the shoulder straps are wide and sturdy. I wear them when I'm exercising.

When I'm hanging out at home I like the Comfy Bra. It really IS comfy! It has nice thin straps and is stretchy but supportive enough.[ATTACH=CONFIG]486473[/ATTACH]

I bought a pack of two at a yard sale but I see they have them online if you click "view page" when viewing image:

I've worn Victoria's Secret bras for years now. I found one I liked and bought about 10 of them. Then they were going to discontinue them and put them on sale so I bought 5 or 6 more I'm just now starting to wear the last of them. I hate to think of schlepping around finding another bra I like so I think I'll just wear these as long as I can.

I didn't know they had zip up ones. I tried them from QVC and they were not for me!! Back they went but I am glad I got to see what all the hoopla was all about.

My 86 year old Mom bought a couple 6 months ago and LOVES them. No zipper- she has bad arthritis in her fingers and this bra makes it so easy for her. She's sold!!

Thanks so much for this info. I might have found a new source for bras! I'm running low and need to get a few more but can't find a style like this anywhere on the planet. Have been wearing this style for years and just can't do traditional anymore. Finding supportive, comfortable and relatively stylis bras just seems next to impossible and almost as torturous as buying a bathing suit once you're over 25!
