She forgets she has it on.
My mom and I recently had a conversation about how aging can really creep up on you — especially when it comes to your appearance. One day your hair starts to turn gray, smile lines stay without smiling, and your boobs just aren’t as perky as they used to be. And while signs of aging are inevitable, tools like hair dye, retinol, and a quality bra can give the illusion of turning back time.
Over the past two decades, my mother has worked tirelessly to curate a top-notch collection of bras to give her chest the lift she once had. And the bra that’s done just that is Maidenform’s Convertible T-Shirt Bra. She says that although her boobs don’t sit the way they used to when she dons this style, it gives the illusion they still do, which is why she plans on stocking up while it’s on sale for up to 62 percent off during Amazon’s Big Spring Sale.

The bra comes in seven colors, including beige, black, green, pink, and white, and sizes range from 34B to 42D. It features full coverage, lightly lined cups, wide adjustable straps that can be worn traditionally or criss-crossed, and seamless back and side panels for a seamless finish under clothes. There’s a classic hook-and-eye closure at the back for easy on and off, and completed with padded underwire for added comfort. The fabric is a nylon-spandex blend that’s super soft on the skin, lightweight, and doesn’t cling.
When I asked my mom about her overall thoughts on the Maidenform’s T-Shirt Bra, she said, “it’s one of the comfiest bras” in her collection, and gave her 42D chest a bit more support which “eased some of [her] back pain” she’d been experiencing for years. The fabric is “super soft” on the skin — so much so she often falls asleep with it on. She loves that it’s full coverage but cut in a way that it remains hidden under low-cut shirts and has enough padding without being bulky. But what really makes this bra stand out is that it doesn’t poke or dig into her skin, because of the padded underwire which also appears seamless under fitted shirts.
She’s owned the bra for four years and said it’s held up well in both the washer and dryer — even without being in a garment bag. My mom also has been serious about her workout journey, so she likes that she converts the straps to fit a racerback to remain hidden under her workout tanks while still offering the same support and security. The straps also remain secure and are “thick enough that they don’t dig into [the] skin,” and the band, which she often struggles to find in her size, offers a bit of stretch and won’t shift throughout the day.
