This bra fits me well, but the shape is awkward and point. I prefer the Panache Sport. I would probably be fine in a molded Freya Active.

Wires are way wide for me. I've got some empty space on the sides, and my smaller breast doesn't fill it out as nice. The underwires sit on breast tissue where the gore is. I'm not a fan of the pointy shape either, it's only due to the seams of the bra.
Even with all the poor fitting issues the bra really does work. It definitely eliminates any bounce. I'm free to run as hard as I want without any pain!Updated on Sep 20, 2013 Flag this

Besides too small cups, as usual the underwires are too wide for me. Despite that, it seems fairly comfortable although it gives me wicked torpedo boob. Also, Freya calls this "nude" but I would say it is band-aid colored. It's not the prettiest bra for sure (spoiled by the Panache, again) but I'd be ok with that if it worked for me.
It is more open on top than the Panache Sports bra, which doesn't suit me as I have tissue nearly up to the collarbone and that leaves me with too much jiggle when I run. Nice firm band that is comfortably wide and I liked that it isn't as warm as the Panache but unfortunately, I don't think it is compatible with my shape.
The search for a great running bra continues.This bra is not owned any more

Thanks for the rec! I think it was you who mentioned Lynx in an earlier post? I've actually been in touch with them about being a tester since I'm sized out according to their charts. Looks like that 4Z fits you really well though - definitely am tempted to try it!

The tightness of the band is okay, but the gore doesn't tack for me because the cups are too far apart at the bottom, so they rest on breast tissue. The wires are super wide so I have about an inch of empty fabric on the outsides of the cup. Bending the wires to curve with my ribcage helped it fit better. I don't fill out the top of the cup usually, though it's much worse on my smaller boob. When I'm retaining water, I fill out the cup pretty well on my larger side but still not very well on my smaller side. I would be able to fill the cups if I converted the straps into a racerback, but the wires are still an issue.

I love how comfortable this bra is! It has become my daily bra. The material is supportive, and I like the lift that it gives me. The only bummer about this bra is the seaming. Although I like the support and shape the seams provide, they frequently show through clothing, which is a definite con for me.

I would normally wear a 32JJ in this brand, but this size was unavailable and I am still losing weight. The 30K is definitely too small for my ribcage, especially since the band is quite firm. It is difficult to fasten with an extender, but almost immediately after scooping I have to ease it closed another hook or two.
The wires on this bra are incredibly wide. They easily stretch an inch behind even the breast tissue under my arm. The cups themselves are fairly shallow, so the center gore only touches my sternum when I am standing up very straight. That said, the bra is actually quite comfortable to wear and gives a better shape on me than most of the regular bras I've tried from Panache.
I have not yet worn this to work out, but a simple bounce test suggests that the bra should do its job. The construction is very sturdy and functional, so it's not the prettiest, but it seems like it'll keep things where they need to be.This bra is not owned any more

Sorry you had to part... Armpit curve can be a very convincing punishment if it goes beyond a mild reminder to keep shoulders & back straight.
Usually I am quite bra pain tolerant but on this one I'm with you.

Feels nice, the best sports bra I own. I got it in a sister size (36E instead of 34F) mostly because it felt okay and Nordstrom Rack didn't have a 34F to try on. It seems like the band in this bra is tight, though, so it was probably a good move. Tight bands don't make my asthmatic lungs feel very nice during cardio.
The true test will be when I actually wear it to the gym, which I haven't done yet.Updated on Apr 28, 2013 Flag this
Check out Lynx Sportswear. You and I are about the same size, and it's the only sports bra I've found that works and fits properly.
