Comfortable, supportive

Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort
I love this bra. It is very comfortable for sleeping in and wearing around the house. True to size and I'm glad I bought three in different colors.

Good bra, sports not so much
Date:February 7, 2013
Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort
Cons: no support to qualify as a sports bra
I bought this bra, the styling is very nice, fits beautifully, it's true to size, very comfortable...but I wouldn't really wear it for any high impact sports.
I'm a 40C, it contains my girls but not enough to stop them from jiggling. I ended up wearing this bra to bed, around the house , for my low impact classes at the gym like pilates and yoga...but that's it.
Safe to say I will not be wearing it to Zumba, not unless I want to knock one of the teeth on my lower jaw out...am a 40 yr old mom of two, let's say gravity one and this sports bra lets it win easily lol.
VERY comfortable bra though, while wearing it to bed, I took the padding out, and boy did it feel so comfy even under my night shirt.

Though I cannot speak for the heavy chested girls
Date:December 17, 2012
Pros: Fit, Comfort
I can speak for us that are not heavy chested. I prefer sports bras over conventional bras for the last thing I want to do is constantly pull up shoulder straps. This bra eliminates the uni-boob that most sports bras create. I am a 42C. I have now bought 3 of these that I alternate for work weekly. Very comfortable, enough to sleep in. I am not flattened by it either. I would suggest ordering a size smaller. When washing remove the inner liner for it will become mangled over time in the washing machine.

Great Bra for Working Out and Running
Date:December 11, 2012
Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort
I recently took up running, and I needed a great sports bra. This really fit the bill for me, and I love that it's got a bit of padding to "smooth" things out!

Sports Bra... no support
Date:September 3, 2012
Cons: Fit, Comfort
I ordered this bra as a sleeping/knock around bra while nursing my son. There is no support to this bra,. The width was way too big but the cups are too small. I would fall out of the bra and the back would ride up so the racerback would hit my neck.

Super Comfortable!
Date:July 21, 2012
Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort
I love this bra! It's comfortable, soft, a little sexy, and has plenty of support for me. I'm a 40C, and the size 18 has plenty of support and coverage. I walk and jog regularly and I'm in my college's marching band and this bra is perfect for that level of activity. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone with a higher activity level than that and if you have larger breasts I'd try it on before I buy it. I like the removable cups. I usually leave them in, but I like having the option. Over all, a great buy!

Comfortable Support

Great sports bra. It gives me full support for walking, elliptical, resistance training, and riding a bike. I would not recommend for sports like basketball, volleyball, soccer, or for running.

Minimal jiggle!
Date:May 10, 2012
Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort
I wear a size 44F in regular bras. I have never purchased a sports bra because of the obvious uniboob/jiggle issue. I took a chance and ordered two size 24 bras. I LOVE them! They are comfortable and actually give support. The only issue I have is that where it crisscrosses on the bottom, my bigger boob pushes out just a little where it crosses if I don't adjust it, but not enough to make it look like my boob is falling out. Just a little extra bulge.

Works great
Date:March 23, 2012
Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort
I was wary to buy these based on the reviews from other shoppers, but I loved the style of the criss cross. It defeats the dreaded uniboob look. So I bought one anyway when I had some Real Woman $$.
Best decision ever. I have since bought 2 more and I use them all the time in cardio classes, kickboxing, on the elliptical, during yoga bootcamp/yoga classes. Works well, I would highly recommend trying them out, especially if you have coupons.

Sexy Sports Bra
Date:February 2, 2012
Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort
This is one sexy sports bra. Fits great I'm a 44D and this provides great coverage while still being attractive. Good support for working out. The best sports bra I have owned. I wish they sold these in the store. I bought 2 different sizes (20 & 22) because I wasn't sure which size to get as I have been working on losing more weight, but both fit great and are comfortable.

Comfortable and supportive
Date:September 29, 2011
Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort
I was so surprised by the comfort of this sports bra. I also was really surprised by how sexy I felt and looked in it. The cut in the front and the way it criss-crosses over, prevents from getting the normal "uni-boob", as with most sports bras. I have lots of health problems, so lots of days I don't get dressed. I have found that I can actually wear this bra under my pjs, so I am supported but yet it is comfortable enough and doesn't dig into my skin when I have to lay down. I just love it and I swear, something about the cut makes my boobs look sexy, again. I feel 20 years younger! I am going to order several more. The first one I purchased was charcoal gray with black trim. I wish they made a solid black style!

Good Functional Sports Bra
Date:August 12, 2011
Pros: Fit, Comfort
Cons: Style
Fits fantastically and washes and even goes in the dryer. I deducted one star because it came with removable cups that shifted when washed. It took me a while to figure out how to remove the cups but when I did I had a great product.

Love this bra!
Date:July 28, 2011
Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort
This is the first sports bra I've ever worn that gave adequate support, and did not give me the dreaded UNIBOOB. I am at the gym 4-5 times a week, doing weights, cardio, TRX and yoga -- it is comfortable and non-binding, and washes beautifully.

I only wore this bra once, washed gentle just as care label states and the entire elastic unraveled!! No support either!!! Also, the straps are cut way in toward your neck, highly visible with almost any outer layer! Would NOT recommend!!

Sooo Comfortable but ..
Date:January 27, 2011
Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort
It is more of a lounge or very low impact work out bra. BUT .. it is so comfortable that I wear it all the time. I'm a 38DD so finding a comfortable bra that also supports me is impossible, until I found this bra. The seams are soft, so there is no digging into my skin and the straps are wide enough not to dig into my shoulders from the weight of my breasts. Though, as I said, I would not attempt to use this bra while having a hard work out. On the description though, it does specify it is a low impact bra. It is also very attractive.

Love this bra!!
Date:December 29, 2010
Pros: Style, Fit, Comfort
Cons: Fit, flattens you out a bit
I bought this bra to wear because I was getting tired of the wires sticking me. This bra fits perfect, give you some cleavage and is so comfortable that I fell asleep in it and did not wake up with my bra being twisted up and being stuck with wires. I wear a 44d and the support is good but could be better. I bought a couple more of them after I tried the first one. The cotton breathes and givers you a little bit extra room. All in all, the best non wired bra I have ever bought. Keep them coming LB!
