5.0 out of 5 starsI forgot I was wearing it!
Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2015
I have gone through so many sports bras looking for the right one. I'm not a fan of 'double bagging' the girls with two sports bras. I tried it and I mostly felt like I was wearing some sort of binder that just strapped them down to my chest. No thank you.
First - I actually bought the underwire version of this first. I don't remember what size I bought, but the cups were a little bit large for me so I got the FF version of this. The FF fits me perfectly (despite the Herroom sizing chart putting me at something like a GG) so I marked it as fitting slightly large. Not sure if it's the bra, the measurements, or my ability to read the numbers adequately (it's probably not the last one).
The underwire one was pretty good, except for the fact that the first thing that failed on the bra was the underwire sticking out of the bra! I haven't had that happen to me in years with an underwire bra. I know how to care for them and how to clean them properly, so I jumped at the chance to get a wireless version of the same bra. Plus, purple is one of my favorite colors, and I couldn't beat the price (it was only $40 for me, which is a steal for an extended-size bra).
I saw a previous reviewer saying that it was a little warm for her, and that she could hear the j-hook squeaking. I have neither complaint - possibly a difference in the bra, or difference in body temps.
I never, ever forget that I'm wearing a bra. I've been wearing bras since third grade. I've got, as they say, bodacious tatas. Bras that are supportive enough to keep the girls in line are more like iron maidens than they are pretty things of cloth and lace. They're modern-day torture devices. I have NEVER forgotten I was wearing a bra, especially not while working out.
Welp. I forgot I was wearing this one. I was in the middle of doing an aerial class, hanging upside down from a silk hammock, and it was so comfortable and stable that it was like I wasn't wearing one. A miracle! Since then, I have also forgotten about it while climbing a rock wall and while wearing it around my office - because now I've started wearing one of these for work as well as working out. I can run a 5k in it, turn upside down in it, jump up and down in it, and it does wonders.
I've ordered several more of the same model, even at a higher price, and I would encourage you to do the same.
