Power lifting bra!
I'm 45, overweight, and I've breastfed five children, I don't have the jackpot genetics for super elastic skin and ligaments to memory rebound my stuff to the original factory settings. My girls show their service, and I'm thankful for all they have done and continue to do for me...I have no need to shame them for not looking like the breasts of a 25 year old fitness model, but I will certainly take all the pretty I can manage to find while getting a basic, real-life job done. I'm not doing high impact anything, I simply needed a bra that keeps the girls close to the body to free my range of motion, improve center of gravity somewhat, and provide modesty while bending sideways, backwards and maybe even hanging upside down. The conventional bra found at local retail chains are not working for me on any of those requirements. The usual complaints I have for both conventional and sports bras at my size 36 band F cup: The necessary width/length of the wires for each cup means the distal, scimitar-like points of those wires are going to be in my armpits all day...while I am trying to keep my arm muscles moving, resulting in my stabbing my self in the sensitive underarm area throughout my workout. If I get a smaller cup size, it often will move the wire end more midline, away from the armpit, but then it doesn't fit over the breast tissue properly, the tissue gets pinched and the bra will also ride up and chafe all day long. Most bra manufacturers try to make bras look prettier by shaping the tops of the cups to be low, which looks great if I am standing upright and still...but if I need to bend over or flex sideways, all my stuff rolls around and falls out the top, not the kind of attention I want. From the other end of the bra spectrum, with crop-top style sports bras, my complaint is that they offer NO lift or separation, giving me a smooshed uni-boob silhouette and, because I am pendulous, excessive under breast heat generation producing embarrassing tell-tale dampness on my t-shirts. An F cup boob has some weight to it, that's downward pressure on the arm strap, a skinny strap on my bra is like a cable saw cutting into the top of my shoulder, I need sufficient width for better distribution of weight. Bra strap attachment point also needs to be carefully engineered. It might look sexier to have the strap attach to the most distal point of the cup top possible, but when made that way, I find I lose too much central support and the strap is more likely to slip down my shoulder all day long- I prefer racer-back styling for that reason. Another issue for me is strap length adjustability- the girls are tired and need to hang a bit lower than they did in my youth, but the point of attachment/origin is still rather high, I think a bit higher than the average woman with this band size and torso length, call me a freak if you will, the point is I need a shorter strap to snug in and I often have difficulty finding a bra with straps adjustable enough with sufficient resistance to stretching and good hardware that is comfortable to wear and able to hold that chosen strap length set all day. So with all these complaints/problems/needs, finding a bra, any type /purpose bra, I like is very difficult. I tried this style last week based on the aesthetic appeal, the presence of a wire and racer back, the positive customer reviews and the cost. I reviewed the size chart and vacillated between the 36F and 36G but opted for smaller thinking about wire pokiness and other traumas from past experiences. The price was in my opinion very reasonable, enough incentive to give it a try anyway. So what's the verdict? I tried the first one and right away liked the aesthetics- the colors are pretty, it is genuinely flattering. The sizing was spot on with complete coverage so there's no bulging or spilling over. The wire was well shaped, it seems to be kept low enough at the distal ends that I cant even tell there is a wire in there while I am wearing it. The bra does lift and separate incredibly well, the silhouette is amazingly good for a sports bra, and better than like 85% of the really expensive specialty bras for office and evening wear I've had. The fabric is thick and strong, it holds stuff in, it doesn't give with body heat so I get support all day long. I wore the bra to the gym twice and was shocked by how differently I could move the free weights with my stuff tucked into a more optimal anatomical position... and I felt cooler, my t-shirt wasn't soaked under the boobs. I loved how it made me feel so much I wore it to work a couple times; I'm a hospital dialysis nurse, I work on both human and facility plumbing simultaneously all day- I've got hoses attached to delicate human bodies. multiple machines, and badly positioned water faucets. There's a lot of crawling around awkward spaces running blood lines and water hoses & drains around beds, poles, ventilators and every other piece of medical equipment known to man so I have to implement some contortionist-like flexibility to get shit set up and running in the five square feet of space I've got to work with. In addition to my adjustable wrench and Teflon tape, this bra is now something I will never go to work without again. All my bits and pieces are kept close, out of the way & covered. My scrub tops are dry, the bra straps stay put, the bra never rides up, and the fabric is comfortable and cool through a 10-14 hour day. The bonus feature, it actually makes me look good, it improves my posture and profile in my normal scrubs. My husband commented on how pretty this bra is and immediately/happily offered to buy me more of them...so I am 100% convinced, this was a great find, worth ordering again. My other sports bras went in the trash. I ordered this navy one to add to the red I had and I intend to order more...hoping the green one will become available in my size. I am very pleased with the way this style met my needs and fitting challenges. I think the quality of the construction is excellent, especially for the price point. I would recommend it to anyone with similar preferences.

Nice athletic bra-hooks in back!!
Good quality and very comfortable. I bought it for (1) the separate cups style and (2) that it hooks in the back. Not too many athletic bras have these two combined features. One reviewer suggested to order up one size and one cup size. My normal bras are 34C so I ordered a 36D and it fits very well.

Good fit but hard to get in!
I got this and was excited. I read all of the reviews and pics (thank you to all of the brave ladies who posted pics!) I went ahead and ordered. I wear a 38D normally. Because of people posting about the tight rib cage I ordered a 40 and their chart said I needed a DD. I ordered a 40DD. Never in my life...but I did. I got it home and holy cow! You have to be a contortionist to get into this thing! I tried over the head..no luck...I got stuck...I couldn't get out....finally after that I tried stepping into it and pulling it up....You pretty much can hardly get it UP, then trying to put your arms ( they should be made of rubber) down and thru the arm straps impossible! I was afraid I was going to tear it. There isn't any stretch. I managed to 'shimmy' myself ( who needs to work out - just take your bra off and on 10 times-lol) into it only to realize the straps were too tight and needing adjusting, it was digging into my neck...forget about it! I couldn't get this thing back off. I had to get my husband and instruct him on how to do it since they are on your back. He made the comment when I turned around "holy cow what is this contraption you got yourself into!' I was really only trying it on while getting ready to have dinner with friends but I left it on because it was too hard to get off!!! Once I was wearing it, it felt fine and comfortable. I have some shoulder issues, and I actually ordered two colors in these, and I am thinking about sending the one back I haven't worn yet...I haven't put it back on again because it was DIFFICULT! I am big busted and I liked the fact it was made from breathable cotton. I was worried about the 'padding'...I don't need anymore 'help' in that area, but it was more like a thicker lining....not padding, so it didn't add any extra bulk. If you are a skinny gymnast by trade, get this bra, if you have any kind of shoulder or movement issues....you're going to find this difficult, and frustrating. I think I am going to look for a front closure next time. Keep in mind the rib cage RUNS SMALL. Good Luck Ladies! I returned this straight jacket!

Size up and buy it
Professionally fitted at a 34F… I bought a 36G as recommended by Amazon and it fits perfect. I do have to step into it and pull it up to get it on. The underwire is absolutely unnoticeable, and I feel very supported for everyday use, I wouldn’t go running in this bra but I didn’t buy it for that. No unaboob…I will be buying more colors. 😀

Es el mejor brasier deportivo!!❤️
Es el mejor brasier deportivo que eh comprado!! Queda justo a la talla, es muy cómodo y se ve muy bonito puesto! Soy talla 36DDD por lo que siempre se me complica el ejercicio y usualmente tengo que usar 2 bra para poder brincar o correr, pero con este solo basta uno y estoy súper feliz, no duele nada y no se mueve casi nada. Muy buena tela y calidad 👍. Estaré comprando de nuevo en otro color

Loyal customer to this product
As a big bust gym rat, a good supportive sports bra is a blessing! I first came across this sports bra a few years ago, and since then I have tried several but always come back to this.The price is reasonable, and it fits to size perfectly. Probably the only sports bra that claims to provide support and actually does, without cutting off air supply or causing bruising. The racer back design takes off the pressure from the shoulders, as well as provides support for good posture. The underwire keeps the girls nice and snug in place, and the scoop neck is perfect and doesn’t cause spillage.Also the colours are just soo soo cute😍
