This was the first sports bra that I found in my size that kept me from bouncing all over the place. I really love the overall comfort of the bra, but the straps are too long so I had to cut off the extra as I only use the first few loops. Tried tucking the extra under the strap but it wouldn't stay. Wearing as a racer-back is difficult as you have to set the straps first then put over your head and removing after a workout is a workout in itself, but I guess it's what you get used to when needing more structured support for the ta-ta's. I have this in multiple colors so that I can rotate my bras and give them time to dry out.

Super comfortable, the band is wide with 3 hooks which in my opinion makes it more sturdy, it fits snug, i would say maybe more like a 30 band, I usually wear a D cup, but this 32C fits just fine, so it runs a bit on the bigger side on the cups. The straps are also wide and comfortable, they adjust half way and you can wear them as racer back too. I jumped around in it and the bounce is minimal, it is full coverage so you don't have to worry about anything popping out Jajja I really love this bra.

I have owned this bra for about 2 years. It is incredibly comfortable and feels great to wear under t-shirts and all exercise-related clothing. I would purchase another one, but they are quite pricey and I was lucky to find it on sale. It does not push my breasts up under my chin and promotes a natural look. I like the concept of the straps (which use a hook and loop system instead of a sliding buckle or Velcro), but as other reviewers have expressed, the left-over strap does tend to peek out and need "tucking". I wear it primarily for walking, using cardio equipment, yoga or weight-lifting, but I would hesitate to do high-impact running or aerobics in it, as I prefer stronger compression for those activities (perchance I would do either!) This fits perfectly in coverage of my breasts, which are fuller at the bottom.

I don't have much experience with Natori, but based on this bra and a few others, they definitely run large in the cup. The sizing is US, so this should equate to a 32F in UK sizing. I typically wear a 30F in freya and a 65FF in Ewa. This bra was way too big on me, so keep that in mind with my review. I also reviewed a 32DDD (still too big).

This bra is an awesome shade of purple, and I'm really sad it didn't fit. The cups were far too large, and while the band *fit*, it would probably stretch out very quickly. This ... is an encapsulation style bra. The straps are nice and thick, and you can cross them in the back. They are a little unique (its not your usual doubled over strap slider thing, but the same hook you would see on the end of a multiway bra, with multiple discrete loops for it to hook on). It took some getting used to - if you have to hook the straps all the way up, you have a long tail of strap that just kind of hangs out back there. However, this could be because the bra was way too big for me, so I needed the tightest straps possible to assess fit. I really like how they cross however - the j-hook on the Panache sports bra seems way too close to my neck for comfort, while these straps put the cross square in the middle of my shoulder blades.

I strongly recommend sizing down in this bra (remember, I'm a 30F/FF and the 32DDD was still too big for me). The bra also seemed very tall at the sides (and rubbed in my armpits), but if you have enough boob to fill it out, that may not actually be an issue - it just was for me because it was too too big. .

I'm so excited to finally have a proper sports bra! This one is extremely comfortable. It overall feels snug which I like. It feels secure and keeps everything where it should be while I'm running without compressing me flat. I don't like compression sports bras very much since I still have plenty of weight to lose and it makes me look like I have even more to lose in my stomach but this bra is perfect! I've already recommended it to a few people.

I got this bra NWT for $12 (including shipping) on ebay, but had I paid full price for it I think I would have been disappointed. It's essentially just an unfinished looking moulded bra covered by a piece of fabric.

I usually wear a 30D or 30DD so I had to sister size. The band runs a little small, mine stretches to 31" which seems just about perfect for running. I don't want to struggle to breathe. I feel like maybe I should have gone with the 32D instead, but going off of the limited info I could find in this size range I went with the 32C. I ... figured a bit of compression would be fine in a sports bra. I would like to try on a 32D at some point though.

I got this bra for running, but it's definitely better suited to other activities. It's okay, but not great. I can feel the wires moving up and down at the bottom and it really isn't a super high impact bra. I got less bounce than I expected, but I would be hesitant to do more than 4 miles in it. I've also worn it out and about a couple times and it's pretty comfy but does look and feel like a lot of bra. I would feel comfortable wearing it without a shirt though because it's high coverage and it is really quite nice looking.

It has a nice wide 3-hook band and it's pretty comfortable. It is super high coverage in the front which I know some people might not love. I have mixed feelings about the strap adjustment. I like that it can't come loose and so far I haven't had any problems with straps falling off, but I don't like the loose ends of the straps. They're actually kind of sharp in some places and irritate me if they're tucked under the strap so I have to leave them sticking out to the side. One thing I hadn't considered is that my running shirt just barely fits over my chest in this bra. I usually wear a compression bra so I'm definitely not used to such a . . . booby look.

Really good support, but haven't tried running in it. Lots of fabric; might be hot in the summer. Boobs look great under a tee: no uniboob. Feels tight at first but stretches after the first wear.

I bought this bra in a sister size to my usual 28F and altered the band down.

It fits okay. If I S&S very much, it seems I get a tiiiny little quadboob. I don´t know if one cups size up would be good or too much. Anyway, after a while my boobs adjust to the cups very well. I did notice that the underwires don´t sit all the way against my skin, there is a tiny gap. This could be due to the bra construction, but also too small cups. Straps don´t adjust all the way, but there are plenty of options. The strap adjusting is not like ... it usually is, there is a metal clasp and certain options were to adjust it to. I cannot explain this in English, please see pics!

What is best in this bra is that it is VERY SOFT!! I didn´t know a bra could be that soft!! Very comfortable, and definitely a must-have for yoga =) The band has 3 hooks + eyes which is very good. I think this bra offers quite good support and I can also go jogging in it. It is maybe not as supportive as, say, Panache sports, but it is definitely quite good!

Super comfy. Was surprised this size (32D) fit me, but the band is nice and snug and the cup fits well. I like that it doesn't come up super high on my chest, as I wear sports bras with leotards for dance. Also like that it isn't a t-strap!

This is another instance in which it is the best sports bra I've ever owned, but the more I learn about fit, etc. the more I suspect that it doesn't fit particularly well. The elastic at the bottom of the band has a tendency to fold under, and the underwire doesn't really touch my ribcage anywhere except on the outer side of my breasts. This leaves space for sweat, which is especially bad given the purpose of the bra. It does at least keep my breasts separate, helping avoid the dreading uniboob situation.
The construction of the bra is solid, the fabric is comfortable, and it's quite supportive, so I can see it being a great bra for someone it fits properly.
