Mar 18, 2013. Panache sports bras troubles + 2 pieces for sale

Me not happy :( I own 4 Panache sport bras in 28FF but I think they´re now too tight in the band!

When I bought these, 30F was too loose in the band and too small in the cups. It felt tight and kind of smashed my boobs, it wasn´t easy to breathe. But when I put it on with the cups on the wrong side, under my boobs, the band felt too loose. Even wearing the bra correctly I could easily fasten it to the tightest hooks. So I think I´m right to say 30F had too big band and too small cups.

I was happy to wear 28FF for a while but now something has happened. The bands don´t get looser, but they feel tighter! I have started to do some weight-lifting excercises, but I haven´t done them many times! I don´t think I´ve gained weight.

Maybe I should use extenders, does anyone know where I could get ones thet are suitable for this 3 hooks fastener?

If I´m allowed to advertise my listed bras, I´d like to state that I have 2 Panache sport bras for sale and I lowered their prizes to 22e (30E) and 20e (30DD).

Shipping is included if it is not over 5e, and the bras are in very good condition, one is like a new one! I hope to sell them because I cannot wear those sizes :(

  • You can get 3-hook extenders off ebay (shipped from China) for $1. Lots of colours are available.

  • Excercise does all sorts of things to the body: apart from burning calories and building muscle it affects your posture and even the way you breath. Thinks like standing up straighter and breathing deeper -- both potential side effects of improved shape -- affect the way bras fit. Also, even though it may not be directly noticeable, the muscles in your (upper) back may have 'firmed up' more than you think, taking some of the 'squish' out of your body. Some people respond much more to certain types of excercise than others. It may very well be that even if your 'fully exhaled, comfortably snug' underbust measurement hasn't significantly changed, your body may have changed enough that the tighter bands you used to wear simply don't fit you comfortably anymore.
