This bra will definitely hold your girls in place. It felt a bit weird the first few times I wore it due to the underwires being on the outside. Unfortunately, this bra doesn't fit me very well as the cups are several sizes too small for me.

I have this bra in black. I have to say that it is the ugliest bra I've ever owned, but it gets the job done. Since the wires and strap adjusters are on the outside, it looks like it's inside out. I only wear it under other shirts and not as a top on its own.
Fit Notes:
I did have to get a different size than I usually wear, up 1-2 band sizes, down 1-2 cup sizes. Most of the bras that fit me well are 30G, and I have one 32H. This one is a 34DDD. At first I had it on the loosest setting, but ... after few wears, I'm onto the middle set of hooks. This seems to be an issue with me and Wacoal bras.
It also comes up really high on me in front, but I'm only 5'1/2", so that's not unusual for me in a full-coverage bra.
I do use it exclusively as a sports bra, for strength training, walking, yoga, Pilates, etc and it supports and separates well enough. There is a little jiggling/movement, but nothing that is uncomfortable or inappropriate. Just but the totally locked down feeling of some sports bras.
I do wish the cups were a bit more discreet. My nipples and nipples piercings show, even with a shirt on.
Overall this bra is functional, but nothing more. It was the only one I could get right away, so I took it, but there has got to be something better out there for me. I'm looking.

The band size fits great. It doesn't ride up, and support wise its an 8 out of 10. It is very comfortable, and cup material doesn't chafe or irritate skin. They only down side are the wires are a little long. They tend to poke under the arms. As fit goes, since I have very large high profile implants (more projection than width), the wires are about 1.5 cm too wide for me, and cup depth isn't enough. This would probably be great for those with natural breasts.

I am in love with this sports bra. The band runs very small so size up to a sister size. Other Wacoal styles fit me in a 30 band but I had to buy a 32 in this style. Please note that this review is for a NUDE bra! The BLACK version of this bra runs even smaller/tighter. I was told by an associate at my local bra store it has to do with the dye. So don't go out and buy this bra in a million colors in the same size if the NUDE fits you great, you might end up regretting it. I also am still ... nursing my one year old part time and I am so happy to finally own a normal bra! My band size has been stable for a few months and i'm past the nursing bra stage so this has been a great transition bra for me while i try to find a new everyday bra that fits my new post baby boobies. See my note below.
PROS: Absolutely seamless under clothes, nude color is invisible under white shirts - uncommon color for a sports bra but soo convenient, natural rounded shape - doesnt look like your breasts are strapped in, separates breasts completely - no touching or chaffing and no uniboob, lifts without padding, weightless feel, not bulky like other structured sports bras, soft fabric accommodates my uneven breasts/size fluctuations, wear all day, great for sleep, feels like a normal bra, moderate support - movement when running but not uncomfortable, **GREAT FOR NURSING MOTHERS!! Total support without any squashing/flexible fabric/straps slip down easily/no clogged ducts while wearing 24/7**
CONS: Band has stretched a lot since purchase (started on last hook, now using middle hook, but may need to use tightest hook soon), nipples show through when cold, high rise in front visible in lower cut shirts/v-necks, unconventional design bothered me at first but now I love the look - wire is visible on the outside of the bra.

This provides fabulous support. I think it runs tight in the band, but I know it will stretch. It also fits perfectly. I do wish it wasn't quite so "big" looking, but it is a sports bra.

Very very supportive, a bit odd with the underwire on the outside. Boobs squished too close together for personal preference, but that is probably because the centre gore does not lie flat, and because the cups are too small for my breasts. Quite comfortable for short-term wear, however.
When stretching, for example leg stretches for dancing, the underwire in the centre occasionally pokes my chin, as it is very high.

This bra is my best fitting but it is very limited as to what it can be worn under. The cups are too sheer for my "headlights" and the cup coverage is such that only crew neck tops will work. I can't even wear most of my workout tanks because the neckline (while not revealing) is too low not to show the bra. Unlike most "sports bras" this is not an option with the sheer fabric on this bra, as it is obvious that "your bra is showing."

My go-to sports bra! Minimizes bounce, straps stay put, band doesn't move. Not very pretty, and the gore is extremely high, but gets the job done so well, I can ignore the issues.

This is not the most attractive bra, ever BUT the lift, separation, and shape it gives is phenomenal. It may be a tad difficult to pair with tighter fitted tops, low necklines, or even just v-neck shirts. (You can forget about wearing it underneath semi-sheer chiffon tops, this is not a bra you want to show off!)
Overall fit is great. Center gore, flat and smooth. Underwire, full encloses my breast tissues. Cup, filled at the bottom, apex at the right spot, no quadboob effect. However, the cup might be a smidgen too small and force some of the side tissue out underneath the underwire...that is, the side underwire does not lay flush against my ribs. But due to the overall good fit and comfort, I'll wear this bra at home and out (when not wearing anything too tight, sheer, or fashion conscious - hello cut outs!)
