It is the softest bra in my intimates drawer by far, and it is my WFH staple.

I got breast-augmentation surgery at the end of 2018.
After a 75-pound weight loss and breastfeeding, I went from a 34-barely-B to a 34DDD.
I saw an Instagram ad for True & Co.
They have great bra options for DDD cup sizes and up.
The bra is super comfortable, and especially in quarantine it really does fit all my needs.
