I’m going to Pilates and I would like something a bit better than the aerie longline bralette I have. It’s stretchy and comfortable but pretty lacklustre for support, and while Pilates is pretty light impact, I think I can do better.

I usually wear a 30F/FF depending on the brand (more the 30FF these days). My snug under bust is 28-29” (varies sometimes with inflammation), my standing over bust is 37-38”, and my leaning is 39-40”. I have soft tissue which is problematic as you will see with some of the other bras I will be posting about.

I had been trying mostly size 6 and 8 and finding the 6s too hard to put on and smashing my breasts and showing a fair bit of side boob and spilling out the top. The 8 was better.

For the lower cost this is a possibility. It *is* a compromise with the fit a little bit, but it’s definitely better than some of the stuff I have tried on over the last few weeks. The band is a little bit looser than I would like but it’s better than the 6 in the cups, and although it is going to relax a little bit with wear, I don’t think the 6 is going to loosen up enough in the cups and I still have a bit of side boob in it (and like I said, I had trouble getting the 6s over my head and bust).

I have not decided yet if any of the lululemon sports bras are ultimately winners and whether or not the extra $20 is worth it for the others that are slightly better fits than this. I do like the straps and it is comfortable so it’s a possible option for the immediate future.

This bra is not owned any more

• It looks really good. Does it offer enough support for your activity?

• Wilderness1 I think so. I mean, I would obviously love the band to be a little snugger or have some adjustability, but as a comparison to what I have been wearing, it’s better. Today I actually wore my Zlote Oko because the band is so destroyed and it was not too bad. But I’m on my back a lot right now so
  I have to make sure that I am comfortable as well as moderately supported. It’s not high impact or anything. I’m hoping to get the others added soon. I just hate having to build a new file for them, lol.

• Calluna yeah I can see a regular bra being irritating on your back when you're doing laying exercises.

  I know what you mean about entering new files for bras. It's a bit tedious, but just leave it for when you're feeling motivated.

  I got a sleep/lounge bralette from ebay the other day that I was going to enter but I can't even find a brand. I wanted to tell others about it because it was like $10.00 (cnd) with shipping. I like it so much I've ordered 2 more (the others were $14.32 with shipping). They're from China but fit surprisingly well. It creates lots of cleavage so boobs touch, and I sized up to 32E so I could get it over my head, but it's comfortable and supportive. I'd do yoga or pilates in it, but I'm not sure how firm you want your sports bra to be (it's technically more like a bralette, not sports bra). I took the pads out as it was bubbling with pads in. (Let me know if you want me to send you pictures. Imgurs down now, so I can't attach a link). They're almost out of the "bigger" sizes. This is the one:

• Cool. I’d love to see pics.
