First of all, Cake really needs to make 30 bands. I am a 30GG and I had to size up to a 32G. I am already wearing it on the last of 6 sets of hooks after one time of wearing it. I also own the Cake Sorbet nursing bra, and I will say that this bra runs slightly bigger in the band than that one. The straps, while comfortable, are not fully adjustable, and since I am short, I am unable to shorten them as much as I would like. The racerback clip shortens them a bit more but I don't want to have to wear racerbacks ... always. Also, the "flexiwire" design does offer enough support to separate the breasts, but is not strong enough to get the center gore to tack, at least on larger sizes.

The biggest drawback to this bra, though, is how shallow the cups are at the wire. I know it's technically a "sports bra" but the weight of my breasts pushes the wires down on my ribcage and makes empty space at the bottom of the cup. After wearing this bra all day, the spot on my ribcage that the wires were pressing on became very sore, and was also sore the next day. If I were to size up in the cup enough so that this didn't happen, the cups would them be too large to offer any support.

Despite all this, the bra is a lot more comfortable than I expected. I would not consider it "high impact" in my size, but moderate impact, sure. It is very well constructed. I love the modesty panel. However I've had this bra for several months and the material hasn't held up as well as I would want for such an expensive bra. It's comfy, like a warn-in t-shirt, but definitely not supportive enough for exercise. I would recommend moms in my size to just but a bra that fits you and have it altered into a nursing bra instead.
