    36HH

    Didn't fit

    I've read a lot of good things about this bra. I own three in another color/size combination, in addition to this one. But to be honest, I don't like the bra very much - it was just better than anything else I was able to find at the time. To begin with, it doesn't completely cover my breast, which means that the top part of my breast is completely unrestrained. It also just doesn't prevent movement sufficiently for me to pursue any higher impact sports like running. Finally, because it doesn't have an underwire to push my breasts front and center, I find ... that my breasts are "in the way" when I try to perform exercises like the bench press.

    Note: I am writing this review in January, 2013, more than two years after the bra was purchased. I have given my initial review and fitting comments based on my notes about the fit of the bra near the time of purchase. Since the bra was purchased, I have lost a band size and gained breast volume. Below are my comments on the current state of the bra:

    This bra was actually too big for me in the cup when I purchased it. At the time, I should have gone for a 36GG. Now it is better in the cup than the 36H ones I also reviewed, but it is too worn out in the band to offer sufficient support now that I need a 34 band. I rarely wear this bra now, even though the cup size is probably close to correct.

    36HH

    Didn't fit

    I got this bra in a 36HH because of the many reviews about the smaller cup sizes and the tight bands. The 36 band is definitely too big. I could wear on the tightest hook right away. My band size has recently starting going between 32 and 34 so ideally a 34 would have been better. If you are in between bands go with the looser one. If not stick with your band size. The cup does seem to run on the smaller side. I'm afraid that if I get the 34HH the cup might be too small and I'll have side boob spilling out and HH is as high as it goes. Also the straps have hardly any adjusting room. Maybe in a tighter size it won't be a problem but this 36HH is going back. The band is too loose to offer the proper support for exercise. I'm undecided on whether I will try the 34HH or not. The bra was comfortable however.

    This bra is not owned any more
