Is this a padded bra?

The thin padding is part of bra...not removable or the kind that comes out when laundering. I love it. Great for golf, workout or just lounging. Most comfortable bra ever purchased.

I wear a 36b. What size would I wear?

I received my order today. My cup size is B. I think that if you measure yourself under your breast and use the size chart in the product description that you will find your correct size for this product. The complaints are from the larger cup sizes. Listen, if your girls are perky, support won’t be an issue. If your girls are large and droop, you won’t like this product. Why? There is no way to adjust the shoulder straps. I appreciate the added extra band extensions. Don’t throw those away. For A and B cup sizes, this is a great product. Order a tape measure and measure according to the size chart. Saying 36B does not help because we don’t know your real band size. I was measured at a Nordstrom Rack store where a rep was trained at the main Nordstrom store. You can also look up videos that show how to measure for bra sizes. I watched a TED Talk on YouTube that opened my eyes to how bras are not standardized. Women have been forced to wear bras not designed for our health benefit. I’m designing my own bra. Current bras cut and irritate in too many places. Society has terribly miseducated women about their health. So if your girls are larger than a B size and need lifting, this bra will cut into your shoulders. The question is a good question. We need more information to answer correctly or the OP (original poster) is taking a chance hit or miss in n getting the correct size. I know this isn’t the answer you wanted but it’s the best I can give based on the information provided. This isn’t the kind of bra that can be fitted by bra size alone.

Does this bra come with the extender hooks?

Hello there, Yes, it comes with bra extender.

What size is this bra no chart to choose from?

I ordered from here. The first time I ordered an XL bra.. (40 DD) . It fit but was not comfortable in the cups (too small). So I ordered another one ... size 2XL. It fit smaller than the XL . If the cup size had fit in the first bra... I would say buy it. But considering how 2 different sizes fit opposite of what they should have... I do NOT recommend these bras ... especially if you are a busty lady.
