8 Reasons Women Over 60 Are Ditching Their Bras For This Built-In Bra Tank
No wires. No band around your ribs. Nothing to hook behind your back. Just one soft tank with a real bra built into the front, and thousands of women who say they are not going back.
1. Nothing To Hook, Clasp, Or Twist Around
Most women our age stopped fastening a bra behind the back years ago. You hook it in front, twist the whole thing around, then fight your arms through the straps. That gets harder every year. On stiff-finger mornings, the tiny metal hook sometimes wins.
This tank ends all of that. There is nothing to fasten. No hooks, no clasps, no twisting. It pulls on over your head like a t-shirt. The stretch in the fabric does the work, so your hands and shoulders don't have to.
2. Real Support From The Front. No Wire, No Tight Band
A regular bra "supports" you by squeezing. A tight elastic band wraps around your ribs, and a wire digs in to hold everything up. The support and the pain come from the exact same place.
Here, molded cups are sewn into the front of the tank. They lift and shape from the front, so nothing wraps tight around your back at all. This is not a flimsy "shelf bra" top. It is a real bra, built in, and fuller-chested women are often the most surprised by how well it holds.
"My old bra was halfway up my back by the time I got to the grocery store. This one stays put if I tuck it in my slacks. It just stays where it is, which is what I wanted."
3. Wide Straps That Stay Put On Your Shoulders
Thin bra straps put the whole day's weight on two narrow lines. And they slip off sloped shoulders all day long.
These straps are wide, soft and flat, cut from the same smooth stretch fabric as the tank. The weight spreads across the whole strap instead of pressing into one spot. They stay right where you put them, through gardening, grandkids and grocery runs.
"A strap used to slide down every time I reached. Now I just reach and go. No fixing it all day."
4. The Cups Are Sewn In. They Survive The Washing Machine
Every woman who has owned a top with loose pads knows the drill. The pads fold into knots in the wash. In the morning you stand there with a finger jammed in a little slot, trying to flatten them out. Sometimes one just vanishes into the laundry.
The molded cups here are sewn in and stay put through the wash. They don't twist, flip or wander off. Wash it with your regular laundry, hang it up, done. No lingerie bags. No hand-washing. No fishing pads out of a pillowcase.
5. Sized By Your Weight, Not Cup-Letter Guesswork
If you have ever ordered three sizes and sent two back, you know the problem. Band-and-cup sizing is a guessing game. Your size from ten years ago is not your size today, and no two brands agree anyway.
Susie's is sized by your weight. Nine sizes, S to 6XL. And here is the honest part most brands won't print: if your bust is fuller than the size your weight lands on, or you are between two sizes, take the larger one. The tank should feel snug. Never tight.

No band around your back means no lines, no ridges, no bulges under your tops. Your whole back stays smooth.
My neighbor Joan is 72. The week she put her bras away and started wearing this, the rolls across her back were gone. Same body. Same weight. It was the band all along.
It is cut long, so it tucks into your pants and actually stays there. One soft layer, from shoulder to hip, under everything you already own.
"The back bulge my old bra dug in for years? Gone. Smooth across, and I feel good from behind again."

7. Soft Enough To Sleep In
Here is the reason nobody else talks about. Many women quietly sleep in an old sports bra, because without something there, skin rests on skin all night. But the sports bra digs. So every night is a choice between two kinds of uncomfortable.
This tank is the first thing soft enough to sleep in that still keeps everything gently in place. No band pressing into your ribs when you lie on your side. Put it on after your morning shower. Take it off at the next one.
8. A 90-Day Guarantee, In Writing
You have seen the "miracle bra" ads. Maybe one burned you. The wrong size shows up, and getting it fixed takes three emails and a trip to the post office. Your doubt is fair. Keep it, and point it at what matters.
This guarantee is in writing. Wear it for 90 days, wash it, live in it. If the size is not right, email us and a new size ships free.
"Same me, completely different shape. The support pulls everything into place. I finally feel put-together, no hooks."

Questions Women Ask Before They Switch
Will it really support a fuller bust?
Yes. The lift comes from molded cups in the front, not from a tight band. Sizes run all the way to 6XL (a 46" bust and up), and fuller-chested women are often the most surprised by how well it holds.
Will it show through white or light tops?
There is no band and no hooks, so there are no lines across your back to show through. The nude shade disappears under light tops.
How do I wash it?
With your regular laundry. The cups are sewn in, so nothing twists, flips or bunches. Hang it to dry.
What size should I order?
Use the weight chart on the product page. If your bust is fuller than the size your weight lands on, or you are between two sizes, take the larger one.
What if it doesn't fit?
You have 90 days. If the size isn't right, tell us and we'll ship you the right size free.
Can I wear it on its own?
Yes. It is a finished tank with a square neckline. Wear it on its own in summer, and layer it the rest of the year.
Number 7 got me. I’ve slept in an old sports bra for years because I can’t stand skin on skin at night. It digs every time I roll over.
Connie, same here. I sleep in mine now. Put it on after my shower and forget it’s there.
I’m a 46DDD. Does it really hold that much, or is 6XL just a big tank with nothing in it?
Hi Marcia! It comes in S to 6XL, and it’s sized by your weight, so there’s no band or cup letter to guess at. The size chart is on our product page, and if you’re fuller up top, go one size up. If the size isn’t right, tell us within 90 days and we’ll ship you the right size free.
Hook it in front, spin it around, wrestle my arms through the straps. That was me every single morning and I never thought twice about it till now.
My shoulders slope and every strap I own is down at my elbow by lunch. The wide ones on this stay where I put them.
I live in Phoenix. Anything with a band around my ribs in July is a no. Wore this to the grocery store at 108 degrees and didn’t think about it once.
Do the cups get messed up in the wash? I have a cami where the pads fold in half every single time.
Gail, they’re sewn in. I’ve washed mine with the towels maybe twenty times and they come out smooth.
I’ve done my wife’s hooks every morning since her shoulder went bad two winters ago. First morning with this she came out dressed before I had the coffee on.
Got these for my mom, she’s 79. No band was the big thing for her. She said it’s the first time in years nothing is cutting into her ribs.
No more bra lines under my knit tops. I didn’t realize how much I was hiding my back until I didn’t have to.
I’ve been burned by the miracle bra ads before. Trying one anyway. Will report back.
It’s soft and it holds me fine for errands and church. Not what I’d wear to water aerobics, but for every day it’s the best thing I’ve found.
Sizing was easier than I thought. No cup letters. Went by the weight chart and it fit the first time.
