AnitaWomen's Plus Size Extreme Control Sport Bra

Okay, I will start with I am a 38-40 G and when I tell you that NOTHING holds me in, I mean NOTHING including doubling up sports bras, putting hi control bras over regular underwires and covering with a tight bra top...NOTHING. This bra does it. Enough said. The straps are wide and stay put, they don't dig in and the coverage is good, but doesn't come all the way up to my neck so that it looks weird under my workout tops. It's pricey...yup, you get used to it when you are as "well endowed" as I am. You can't find cheap bras of any kind, never mind a quality sports bra. I just ordered another one because I found myself hand washing this one and drying it so that I didn't have to wear any of my others. I won't go back. If I wanted to jog, I could...I don't, but I could. ; )

This is my second one of these bras and after trying it on, I'm kicking myself for not ordering more sooner. If you're looking for an extreme control sports bra, look no further. I'm a 40D in all bras and this one was no exception. What I'd most like to comment on however is that the first one of these bras I purchased over three years ago and it's also still in excellent condition. I'm carelessly washed and dried it with like colors for over 3 years and it still fits the same as the day I bought it. The bras provide both comfort and quality. I'm buying my next one now instead of waiting any longer.

I've been wearing this bra for at least four years; I currently own five of them in white. In most brands, I wear a 32DD, but the cup runs a smidge big, so a 32D fits perfectly. When I run at top speed, my boobs don't move at all--seriously. Plus, this bra folds flat for compact storage, unlike padded or underwire sports bras. These bras are breathable and they last a long time (I hand-wash them with Forever New, which preserves the stretch). I only wish they'd make them in some girlier colors. The white, which is my favorite, looks kinda medical/bandage-like, but most of the other colors look too masculine, in my opinion. But it's a small price to pay for boobs that don't hurt when I sprint during PMS!

Literally THE best fitting bra I've ever owned! I'm basically a 34D and I hate wearing wire that rub or push on my ribs, or I'll fitting cups that I have to tuck my breasts back in! This is my magic bra! I wear it more often than I should but am going to be buying more from this brand exclusively! The only compliant I had it that the straps are thicker than I expected, but I'm happy with the trade off for a perfect fitting bra!

I was a career firefighter for 25 years and wish I had this bra when I was on the job! Duper comfortable and supportive without the uni-boob look. I highly recommend this bra for active women who are fuller figured in the bust like I am (42DD).

Pretty good fit. Band runs tight. I measure at 32" with my tape measure, and purchased the 34, which is quite snug. Glad I went up a size. But it is good support. The cups look kind of pointy shaped, but smooth out (look normal shaped) once you put the bra on. Overall, I'd say it is definitely a high support bra, but not a maximum support or locked down, total control. I still had some motion during jogging, and still had to double up with a second sports bra, to keep myself from jiggling around. I do think it's a good bra anyways, and worth adding to your collection if you need good support or have large breasts that you need/want to keep fairly still. But it isn't enough on its own for any actual high impact movements or running etc.I like it and will use it frequently... with a second bra on top.But beware that the BAND RUNS SMALL. If you measure at a certain size, I personally, think you need to go up one or even two (especially if you're broader across in the ribs) bands to not feel pain around your ribs. The one size larger band, is almost not big enough for me.Otherwise, I like it pretty well and would recommend it for MOST uses. But not for high impact on its own.

Make sure you give this sports bra a real chance: when I first put it on I was not sure about the fit (it is hardly padded and relies on the stretchy material and thick straps/clasp to provide support - while also not compressing you into a pancake). I've never experienced such an "engineered" design before and I was doubtful. However, upon reading that it received a Red Dot Design award and was designed in Germany, I thought - hey, let's see what it can do. I took it for a spin in a long sweaty yoga class and it was fantastic. I never felt the need to adjust it once throughout the class and it kept me perfectly in place through inversions and vinyasas.1) The straps stay in place and they don't dig in (have adjustments in the back) or create chaffing2) The wide band at the bottom is formed such that it doesn't slip around at all3) The material has a strange somewhat textured feel that absorbs and dries sweat quicklyFor fit: I usually wear a 34D in bras, and that's the size I ordered. I could imagine trying a 34C and having a little less fabric in the cups (since there is no padding) but I don't see it hindering the support.

I was recently fitted at a high-end bra shop locally and they had me try on this bra as part of the process. It was love at first wear - I'm *obsessed* with this bra.At my fitting I discovered that like so many women, I had been wearing the wrong size - I had measured myself as a 32G but I'm actually a 32E. I suspect many women around my size who are complaining that this bra allowed too much "jiggle" may be wearing the incorrect size, as I initially felt that the E cup size was too small until my fitter showed me how to put on and fasten bras so they sit properly.This bra is the perfect combo of supportive and comfortable. I wear it for workouts including jumping and sprinting with nary a jiggle, but it feels so good and fits so well that it's my go-to option for hanging out at home. It's the first bra I've purchased in probably a decade that doesn't have an underwire and I'm so happy to have discovered this brand!Since buying my first one in the store, I've purchased 2 more, and sent one to my younger sister, who's working as a camp counselor this summer. We both LOVE them, and I am already planning to order more!
