My feelings on this bra are mostly positive: there's a bit of east-and-west going on, yes, and it does come up quite high, but the cups do encapsulate the entire breast tissue. No jumping out over the top! The wires sit flat at the sternum and the support is very good. I did have initial difficulty getting the 4 hooks done up. Either it's loosened or I've smallened or both because it's not a problem 2 months later.

I wouldn't wear it as an everyday bra, because it shows at the neck of most of my tops and the seams would be pretty visible.
But as a sports bra it's really very good, and that's why I bought it.

  Does it give good control for up/down bounce? How much control would you say it gives in %
  could you run in it without a lot of bounce?

• @ Bastet

  I couldn't run in it (before I shrank out of it) because my knees aren't running-friendly, but it did pass the "jump up and down on a hard surface and see if it hurts" test. I hope that helps! It was one of the best sports bras I had, and I'm sad they don't make bands less than 32 in (I have lost a fair few kilos since then)!

• Thanks for replying :) so you couldn't feel pain, always good, but was there any visible bounce and how much? I'm really thinking about buying it but I'm so sick of expensive returns so that's why I'm asking a lot of questions. Also if you don't mind me asking what shape is your bust? Are you fuller on bottom? I think different shapes have different experiences regardless of size. I really appreciate your help

  My shape: definitely fuller on bottom, narrow-ish root. The underwires on this style are probably a fairly normal width for a sports bra, from memory - narrower than Freya Active, anyway, if you've tried that on. From what I've noticed, sports bras do tend to run wider and less projected in the cup, so there's always a tiny bit of compression going on ...

  No individual breast bounce, a bit of "continental shelf" movement when jumping up and down. They didn't move relative to the skin on my chest - it more moved as a unit. I think that's kind of inevitable though, what with my breasts weighing 2+ kg each and skin being elastic.

• Thanks so much :) Ive been researching a bit today and I think I'm gonna try the Enell next instead as it claims to have no bounce at all and ideally that's what anyone would want.
