Fresh Comfort Inc: Bra for Seniors & Women with Disabilities

Did you know that one half of working Americans report having back pain symptoms each year? In fact, 31 million Americans report experiencing lower-back pain at any given time.  In high school, I had moderate scoliosis.  Then, at 24, I got Myasthenia Gravis, and I have been carrying a cane for the past five years.  Sometimes, when you’re lounging around the house, you don’t need to where a bra.  But, unfortunately, there are settings when it’s not appropriate like work and PTA meetings.  I often wish I were a Charlie’s Angel so I could be free of this burden.  Thankfully, there is a company, Fresh Comfort Inc., that makes adaptive intimate apparel.  I’m going to review their Easy Open Bra ($40.00).

Features:

-three colors: white, beige, light blue

-five sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL

-easy to use front closure Velcro® with Austrian snap and “D” ring

-soft Modal blend fabric: 46% combined cotton, 49% Modal, and 5% Spandex

-smooth, wide straps

-tag-less, hidden label

-removable pads

Benefits:

-comfortable: there are no straps digging in my shoulders and the wide straps are nice

-no underwire

-light: the bra has a light feeling

-not itchy: I often find a lot of bras that look fancy but are itchy to wear

-looks great with scoop-neck and v-neck blouses

-great for everyday wear

-good value: there are bras in the department store that are equally expensive but I find that as I get bigger and experience weight changes, I eventually can’t use them

My Final Verdict

This is the most comfortable bra in my closet.  Yes, I would recommend it to women–both with and without disabilities.

    I totally approve of good bras… but I veer away from American bras… I get european ones, which are crafted much better, I think.

    (I am not typing in all caps, it is making me do this for some reason…)

        Hi Sandy, I did a bit of research and the brand “Nancy Meyers” makes European bras. Right now, I’m wearing Third Love–what I like about Third Love is that it comes in half cup sizes. My mom is enjoying Fresh Comfort though; for context, she is 65 years old.
