I really like this bra. I weighed about 50lbs less when I first bought this style, & it fit wonderfully. Now that I've gained weight, it occasionally digs in at the bottom sides, under my arms (this is with a larger size). But, I think most any bra will do that because of my "rolls."
Like any bra, the band does stretch out after a while, but I just buy it to fit on the loosest hook, then tighten it as it stretches. This allows me to extend the time it fits. With this method, I can get about 18-24 mos out of it before it's "downgraded" to a "yard work" bra. (I have several of these that I rotate, so each bra is usually only worn 2-3x per week, for about 18hrs at a time.)

It's neither hot, not cool. Although, I will sometimes get "boob sweat" when I've been running around a lot. (But, this happens with or without a bra! 😛LOL!)

Although there are 2 seams in the cups, & it's made our of lace, the pattern doesn't show thru under MOST cotton shirts. It will show under thin, silky like tops.

The cup lace is lined with a stretchy, thin, silky material (similar to a pair of panties). That keeps the lace from being scratchy. Which is a major problem for me with a lot of bras. I have very sensitive skin.

It will NOT conceal my "headlight." But, to be fair, I have particularly erect nipples that you can see even thru padded, molded cups. So, I've just learned to deal with it. (I think only a bandaid would fix the issue for me.)

It's a good quality bra. I haven't had a strap break, or wires pop out like I have in other bras (even by Cacique). My only complaint is that the lace becomes "dingy" easily. I wear black scrubs at work, so nearly all of my bras now have a dingy appearance over the entire bra, but especially concentrated near the side & underarm areas where it gets the warmest. But, it even picks up a little dinginess on the back straps. - This makes my bras look "old & dirty" WAY before they're actually old & dirty. I can't seem to find a way to wash it out, either. (I've tried Shout, Hot Shot, degreasers, pouring Tide directly on it & allowing it to sit.)

• If you were interested in some extra coverage, there are a variety of nipple covers out there that you could maybe get okay results from with a padded bra? I owned a pair in silicone that was beige and worked well in unlined bras, but I didn't have the nipple situation you do so I can't vouch for it :)

• Thanks! It usually doesn't bother me, but it's nice to know there are products available just in case!
