PLAYTEX 18 Hour Ultimate Lift and Support Wire-Free Bra (Style 66CL)

Our review of the PLAYTEX 18 Hour Ultimate Lift and Support Wire-Free Bra finds it best suited for women seeking a T-shirt friendly, wire-free option that still delivers noticeable lift and stable shaping. The single biggest reason to buy is the TruSupport 4-way wireless system, which combines higher sides, fuller cups, wider straps and a smoother back to reduce bulge and increase comfort through a long day. The cotton-rich Cool Comfort fabric and cushioned straps make this bra feel like a soft tee while the Magic Ring construction provides bottom-up lift without underwires.

Key Features

• TruSupport 4-way system: Higher sides and fuller cups give fuller coverage and smoother shaping at the sides and back for less bulge.
• Magic Ring construction: Panels support from the bottom up to create a natural-looking lift without a wire digging into the ribcage.
• Cool Comfort fabric: Moisture-wicking jacquard stretch cotton keeps the wearer cooler and feels soft like a favorite T-shirt.
• Stretch satin panels: Smooth the back and sides to reduce visible lines under fitted tops.
• Cushioned straps and Comfortsoft band: Wider, padded straps and a cotton-covered band relieve pressure on the shoulders during extended wear.
• Tag-free interior: Eliminates itch or irritation for sensitive skin when worn all day.

Who It's For

The PLAYTEX 18 Hour wire-free bra is ideal for those who prioritize comfort and support over an underwire profile, such as office workers, parents on the go, and anyone who prefers a smooth T-shirt look. It is especially good for wearers wanting fuller coverage and a no-bulge back without sacrificing softness.

Shoppers seeking a very molded, push-up silhouette or a fashion-forward plunge bra should look elsewhere, since this is designed for natural lift, full coverage and everyday stability rather than dramatic cleavage or evening wear aesthetics.

Pros & Cons
