Impractical than expected

From a friend I got the recommendation, instead of taking a bustier bra. But the bottom line is I can not really recommend.
The advantages are: machine washable, not a constricted, better hold of the chest.
But for me, the disadvantages are serious. At first I had a bustier in size L, but the carriers have my eh tense neck concentrated very uncomfortable. So I ordered XL. Now the carriers are less disturbing, however, the entire maintenance is no longer sufficient, as this is substantially larger bra. Also the closure I do not really practical, I do me still very difficult to cope when closing with one hand. Also, I find that the nursing pillow hold in a bra when opening and closing better than here. What can still be a disadvantage also is that the carriers are seen in most clothes, since they bear relatively close to the neck.
