I have also tried the Alexis, Fiona and Jubralee models. Of all the four moving comfort bras, this one has to be almost my favorite in terms of creating an uplifting shape and comfort compared to ease of getting on.
First off, although the size shown in Bratabase is a "30D", the size I purchased is an XS in the C/D model (they also made an A/B model that doesn't have hooks). The bra is labeled to fit sizes 30C, 30D and 32C.
I wear a size 28C/D and was a little hesitant deciding whether or not to purchase this bra in the C/D size, or to get an ... XS in the A/B style thinking that the band might be bigger and thus would be similar to a 32A fit. I am SO GLAD that I got the C/D in the XS size because I feel like it was meant for my boobs.
After a good scoop & swoop and hooks on the highest hooks, my breasts stay in place and they fill the cup comfortably...everywhere I poke around the cup I feel like I hit breast tissue so there doesn't seem to be gaps. After lots of jumping up and down the bra seems to minimize bounce.
What I love the most about this bra is the amazing perkiness and shape my boobs have! There is a good amount of padding and coverage...two "soft cups" with loose mesh in between, and I think the soft cups really help to bring out the C cup in me. This bra is definitely good for shallower breasts and could probably fit someone who's a 28DD or a 30C/D.
I do have to wear the band on the tightest setting to really get the firmness since this bra of course is a 30band and not a 28, but I don't mind. I also have the straps on the tightest setting..they don't have very far to adjust but it works enough for my short torso.
As far as comfort, the mesh is definitely not the softest and is a little itchy under the armpit sometimes. I haven't gotten any chafing yet, but I definitely do not see this bra to be used as a "running" bra with lots of arm movement, but definitely a strength and "crossfit" bra. Definitely a bra to wear "shirtless" because of the shape, but also under a nice form-fitting tank.
Also, the price is great...<$30 if you find on sale!!

Thanks! This is helpful. I'm a 28E and I'm thinking of getting the xs C/D. Should I go up to a s C/D?
