This sports bra is so comfortable that although this size didn't fit me, I went hunting for a larger cup size. Yeah, I was that impressed after trying 7 or 8 others. I need underwire (my ladies are very soft, pendulous and projected) and need taller cups in a sports bra to contain my tissue comfortably. I also have challenges with tissue (tail of spence perhaps?) being crushed between the strap and wing that can be especially painful in cups that are too short/small/constricting. This Wacoal Sport Underwire Bra was the first model I found that did not torture me so, even though it ... was too small. It passed the bounce test, run test, and burpee test. The straps are wide and supportive, and adjust enough to work for me on the very last hook (beware if this is typically a trouble area for you!). The strap adjustment is only barely long enough though, and it's a little hard to get on because I have large upper arms (33 cm circumference) and am not one of those talented souls that can hook a bra behind my back. These are just a couple of things to be mindful of if you are considering this bra. It has four rows of hooks and feels very supportive, which I like a lot. I prefer the feel of an encapsulation sport bra, and the wires of this bra come darn near to tacking in the actual size that fits me (not this 32DDD - my winning size is a 32G in this bra). The way the underwires are on the outsides of the cups is pretty brilliant - the center gore comes very, very, very high but I am not bothered by that because of how this bra is constructed. This sports bra gets sweaty but feels breathable because it's a fairly thin material. To that end, nipples may show through - mine do, and that's meaningful because this is seldom a problem for me. If you have prominent nipples you prefer to keep on the DL this bra may not be right for you. Also relating to looks, this bra is plain-Jane and very utilitarian - not a sports bra to show off at all. However, under clothing this bra provides a very nice look - not too minimized for my liking - just gently rounded and nicely lifted. I am returning this 32DDD, but was so impressed I've already purchased, received and worn two 32G's and I won't be looking at other sports bra models anymore.

To think I wouldn’t feel “comfortable” in a sports bra. Boy was I wrong. This sports bra oozes comfort for me. The band is on the short side and fits more like a 30. No complaints here since a 30 is my ideal fit currently. With the underwires on the outside of the sports bra, the inside is protected by the lining. No chafing or rubbing. It gives a locked and loaded feel without the bulk. Compared to my Panache underwire sports bra, which feels like a Viking chest plate, this is just easy to wear. Gives a wonderful lifted round shape. Love the four bra hook and eye closure. So easy to get off when you’re sweaty.

I'm going to review this bra based on how it fit me, I have not purchased it or exercised in it. Unfortunately I do not have measurements for it. My shape is: close set, center full, full on bottom, average/narrow width roots, tall shallow roots, soft tissue.

I was initially hesitant to try this on because it looks kinda funky, the underwires are on the outside of the bra and very visible and I actually tried to put it on backwards at first! The band fitted me very snug for a 32 (it wasn't uncomfortable during my try-on though), and I suspect it runs closer to a 30 band ... size. Since I can wear 30-32 bands, it was okay for me even though it looks kinda tight in the picture I posted. The band has 4 hooks which makes it super comfortable and doesn't budge!

The underwires on the outside actually made it pretty comfortable to wear since the inside of the bra is smooth. The wires seem to be slightly wide, but I feel this doesn't really bother me. The fabric over the cup has some stretch/give and it on the thinner side, I suspect nipples will show through. The material is somewhat compressible so it flattens my breasts and gives me a flattened profile.

The gore comes up very high in the front, but it tacked well on me and wasn't uncomfortable. The cups come up very high as well which I like more since it holds me in. The straps are adjustable with a sort of hook/loop system and I like that it will stay in place and not slide down like some traditional straps can.

I did some running in place and jumping around in the fitting room and it surprisingly held me down well. There is still some bounce, but I "felt" like I was contained relatively well. The store did not have my size in black (which I prefer) so I am definitely considering ordering this.

Great sports bra. Fits super well, like a second skin. Only issue is that the nipple will show--but when I exercise I warm up so it's not really a problem. Looks...structured, so it's not very attractive by itself; I always wear a t-shirt over it.
