It is that time of year...the magazines and websites are all pretending that they know something about sports bras. I suppose it is a bit of a hate-read for me, I haughtily critique the articles in my head. "Ha! Yeah, I BET your tester is a 36D...probably really a 30F." "Seriously? You think THAT is what constitutes support? Have you ... seen a pair of breasts larger than a crepe?" "Diapers are more adjustable than this model." "Oh, you included SheFit as an option. Well, at least there is one semi-decent option for women who want actual support rather than a crop top with spandex."
Then I find myself getting annoyed because it does sound like there actually is some interesting technology out there that could make for a good sports bra, but looking at the sizing, the only way a woman with much up top is going to be able to try it is if she plays the plus four game (or worse), which would likely negate any positive effects of the bra. I also find myself wondering if the technology is actually any good, considering that it is likely that they are not sizing properly, so would it actually do anything if used in an accurate size, or does it perhaps just compensate for bad fit?
Also: can we stop pretending that you can have half your breast exposed and NOT bounce? That's not how they work!
Do you have criteria for whether these sort of articles are decent or complete garbage? Not just sports bras, but bras in general? I tend to take them a little more seriously if they include a brand like Panache as an option, or if a tester/author mentions she is a less common and/or non-matrix size. She might still be in the wrong size, but I give more credence to an article mentioning "Mary, size 30E" than one that mentions "Jen, size 36DD".

you can do a virtual fitting with Bravissimo. https://www.bravissimo.com/virtual-fitting/ or reach out to their customer service https://www.bravissimo.com/contact/ Since it's their brand, they could probably advise you the best!
I tried the chat today, but something came up so I tried to keep the conversation as short as I could. I told my measurements and she said 38H... then I added some more details ( they r sagged ) she then suggested to get 36 HH. I have to make a decision. I don't want the band too tight , I work in high temperatures, often sweaty, want to avoid excessive pressure. And EU 85 is considered by most converter tables to be equivalent of 38. Also I've come upon few mentions that Apollo band is quite tight. Plz , someone who has the Apollo, plz tell me what is your opinion?
