Awesome bra for runners with a small band and large breasts. It does not restrict me in my movement and in contrast to the Panache Sports bra, the racerback hook does not cause me pain and is in the right place. The material is very comfortable and soft (also easy to wash and dry), and still feels nice if you`re all sweaty.
The "cups" (no real cups, just some extra space) work nicely with my breasts (FOB, not too wide, very soft), there is no spilling on top or on the sides. My breasts stay where they are, even during intense workouts. As with all Shock Absorbers I ...ever had, the band of this bra is very tight (I need to go up 1 band size) and does not stretch out quickly.
Edit: I would like to point out that the band of this bra does not appear to stretch out at all after 50+ uses (1h of running each). Do not buy this bra in a band size which is too tight under the assumption it will soon stretch out! Read more 74 more words
This bra runs at least one to two sizes small in the band and one to two sizes small in the cup. I fit in some 30FF bras and ended up in a 32G to make it fit. The cups are extremely wide but it's very supportive once you find the right size to fit you. Cups are very tight at the armpit and tall.
Bra does minimize bounce. Great option for a smaller size, but not for a 30GG. Without the underwire it is very comfortable and is very easy to move in, but it does create the uni-boob and smooshes everything together. The top clasp is VERY difficult to reach to close/open.
Didn't order the right size and I spill over in this bra. Support is ok and the cup fit is nice, but it's very difficult to reach the top set of clasps on the back.
This is the only bra that I trust to keep me locked down while I run. It's not exaggerating to say that this bra *allows* me to run. It shockingly eliminates bounce on my big, soft, heavy, jiggly boobs. I guess it's a compression style bra (uniboob-style, not separate cups), but it doesn't flatten or smoosh me like a cheap Champion would (my leaning bust is 40", and my overbust in this is 37"). So I'm not sure how it works, really???
The band sizes on these are just literally wrong - this is a 32G but the stretched band is 30" even - so if you're considering this model, definitely size up in the band. For the record, I usually wear a 30GG in UK bras (Cleo, Panache etc).
This is an amazon sports bra, i didn't think it would work with having a bigger chest, but there is hardly any bounce when I'm running which is great, a nice comfy fit! @no1sportsbrauk
I found the split hook set up hard to fasten... easy to fasten the lower two, hard to fasten the top two.
Also, this bra produced a total uniboob effect, which I'm not fond of. And more than that, while I was in the bra, I found that my breasts were touching each other for a fair amount of their projection... I would think this would be really awful while getting sweaty.
I'll be sending this one back and likely not ordering another. I think I now know that I want an encapsulation type sports bra, and I don't think this one is it!
