Alright, let’s talk about this Body by Victoria Full Coverage bra thing. My journey started out of sheer frustration, honestly. My old bras? Terrible. Wires digging in, straps slipping, and the whole ‘coverage’ part was a joke half the time. I was constantly adjusting things, feeling uncomfortable. You know how it is. Just wanted something that would hold everything in place without feeling like I was wearing armor.
So, I started looking around. Didn’t really have a specific brand in mind at first. I just scrolled online, looked through a few stores when I was out. Saw the usual suspects. Then I stumbled upon the Victoria’s Secret stuff, specifically this ‘Body by Victoria’ line. The ‘full coverage’ part caught my eye because, well, that was exactly what I felt I was missing.
I debated for a bit. Let’s be real, they aren’t the cheapest things out there. But I thought, okay, if it actually works, if it’s comfortable and gives proper coverage, maybe it’s worth spending a bit more. I was tired of buying cheaper bras that ended up in the back of the drawer after a few wears. So, I decided to just go for it. Picked out my size, placed the order online. Done.
Getting it and Trying it On
When it arrived, the first thing I noticed was the fabric. It felt really soft, smoother than a lot of the bras I’d handled before. Seemed promising. I took off my old, annoying bra and put this new one on. The fit felt… different. In a good way. No immediate pinching. The band felt snug but not tight. The cups seemed to actually contain everything, which was a novel concept for me at that point.
But the real test isn’t just trying it on for two minutes, right? It’s wearing it all day.
Living With It
So, I wore it. To work, running errands, just lounging around the house. Here’s what I found out:
- Coverage: It actually did provide a lot more coverage than my previous bras. Things felt secure, less jiggling around when I walked quickly or went up stairs. Did it solve every single coverage issue from every angle? Maybe not 100% perfection, but a huge improvement. Way less spillage over the top or sides.
- Comfort: This was the big one for me. That soft fabric wasn’t just for show. I could wear it for a full 10-12 hour day without feeling desperate to rip it off the second I got home. The underwire didn’t feel like it was trying to stab me. The straps mostly stayed put, which was a relief.
- Support: It felt supportive enough for daily activities. Not like a sports bra, obviously, but good enough that I wasn’t feeling weighed down or unsupported.
Now, was it perfect? Look, no bra is magic. After wearing it a bunch and washing it, like any bra, it shows some wear. The fabric might not stay as perfectly smooth forever. And maybe the shape it gives isn’t quite as ‘perky’ as some other styles might offer, but that wasn’t my main goal anyway. My priority was comfort and keeping everything contained, and it delivered on that pretty well.
I ended up buying another one in a different color because, frankly, it just worked for me. It solved the main problems I had: constant discomfort and lack of decent coverage. It became my go-to daily bra. Compared to the pile of failed experiments in my drawer, finding something I could reliably wear all day without wanting to scream felt like a major win. It’s not fancy, it’s not revolutionary, but it does the job I needed it to do, day in and day out. And sometimes, that’s all you really need.
