I have a very difficult time finding bras that actually fit right. This bra is incredible. It gives GREAT support and fit so well. I will definately be ordering more of them. I also ordered the Wacoal sports bra. Everyone should have at least one of them. Especially if you a full breated and have difficulty finding properly fitting bras.

Best utilitarian bra I have ever owned. Great support, smooth cups, well made. As long as this style is available, I will have several in my lingerie drawer.

Perfect sports bra! It is very comfortable and the most supportive sports bra I have ever found. It makes exercising comfortable, even for fuller figured women. Great find - I highly recommend!

After years of running in bras that didn't support me well, a friend recommended Wacoal. Finally, a bra that really makes me feel supported when I run. The sports bra may not look as cute as some other brands, but 4 miles down the road, who cares? For a sports bra it definitely should be function over appearance. I love this bra! As long as Wacoal continues to make high quality products, I will never switch.

This is the best bra I've ever owned. I'm a full 38DD, and have always had trouble with my breasts "pudging" out the top of other full-figured/full-coverage bras. This one does not do that at all! The wire comes up high enough to hold me in, yet stays close to my breast bone keeping it from poking out. The straps do not slip either. It gives me a beautiful seamless shape and is very comfortable. I bought this bra to wear while working out, and the girls really do stay put! I will probably be ordering another one soon for every day wear. This really is the perfect bra for me. Thank you Wacoal!

Ordered international sizing and the item is too small. I should have ordered US standard size. Am reordering in that size.

These are my every-day bras. Comfortable and excellent support, and I'm a full-busted gal who is active. The bras are durable. I've never had a bra hold up so well and not lose elasticity. I wash them in the machine, but hang dry them. I wholeheartedly recommend these bras to women who want a comfortable, supportive bra for every-day use. I won't buy another brand.

I ordered this bra to use while exercising, but find it so comfortable that I wear it almost everyday. It looks great under blouses and sweaters. As a full busted woman, I've always been very particular about well fitting undergarments. This one feels great all the time, and makes me look so much slimmer!

Fianlly a bra that I have been looking for all of my adult life, I am a 40 D, and for years I have been searching for the "right" bra. I am probably like most women that have a drawer full of bras that I thought were comfortable (in the fitting room) but after wearing for only a few hours I want to rip it off. I plan to wear this bra as much as possible, especially to work. I am a dental hygienist and I WANT comfort and support while I am working and this gives me both and I don't have to fool with the straps becasuse they stay where a strap should.. When I told my husband that I had found the wonder bra but it is a bit expensive, he said "go for it if it's comfortable"......this bra is so worth the price. Comfort means EVERYTHING ! Thanks Wacoal, I am back for more and I am going to try other styles too!

I wear a 34G so it was hard for me to find a sports bra that provided both supports and kept the bouncing at bay. Before this bra I was always finding bras that made me look like I had one huge girl rather than 2. A friend of mine suggested I try this brand because she was having the great experience that I was looking for. So I recently signed up for a fitness kickboxing class and needed a new sports bra and came across this one. Boy...this was the best decision I have made in a long time. Finally after 4 years I have found a sports bra that not only provides great support and minimal bouncing but I actually had 2 girls rather than one big one. I have never had a bra provide so much support. Other than the price one of the downsides is that the front of the bra does come up very high, but I feel that is a minimal con compared to all the pros. I say give it a try, trust you'll never look back.

Great bra for daily or workout! I am a 36DD and have a challenge finding a bra that TRULY keeps the girls in place when running. This one does the trick AND still manages to look normal in clothes - unlike others that result in either the uniboob or flattening everything out like a pancake. I love that it is comfortable enough to wear all day when necessary - awesome for those days when I'm not quite sure when I'm going to fit the workout in but know I need to. If I had any negative comment it would only be the way the straps adjust in the back results in "loose tabs" that occasionally need to be "tucked into place", but it's not often and I can live with it. Overall, love this bra!

This is a nice sports bra. No uniboob, good support for most activity and the fit size seemed accurate. Wish more color options were available!

Bought this bra for the gym. So glad to find a large cup for exercise. Love it so much I wear it every day. No seams to rub, very comfortable, no bounce, straps are comfortable, wish they were a little longer (I have them on the last loop). Also wishing for a T back style so I can wear more stylish gym shirts.

I've never found a bra that fit so well and allowed me to run and workout in absolute comfort. Yes, they are a bit more expensive, but so worth it. I only hand wash mine. If you are a bigger cup size like me (DD) but a smaller frame this is the bra for you.

I love this bra. I bought a couple and use them a few days a week at the gym. I use the elliptical (not much of a runner) and it really keeps the girls stable and where they belong. It is pretty good at wicking away moisture and doesn't get soggy like a lot of sports bras. I was surprised at the support and hooks- I was recently remeasured into a 34D and I'm not used to having 3 hooks!
The only two things that I would mention as being cons to this bra are 1) the band size seems a little tighter so if you're on the border of bras, you may want to try this on first to see if it fits you or if you need to go up a size(all of my regular bras I wear on center hooks but this one I have to put on the last hook and it's a tight fit) and 2) around the band, if you don't go home and shower right away after the gym, the damp band can get irritating and bothersome.
Otherwise, I really like this bra. It's comfortable, supportive, doesn't give you the single-breast look. Also from my understanding, the separate cups for each breast are more supportive and cause less sag than a single-fabric cased sports bra would do.

I just worked out for 1 hour and I felt dry, no sweat marks on my shirt. The fabric is great! I am a 36G and ordered a band size up and it is perfect. Wish there was a higher cup size, could use a little bigger. Very comfortable. And best of all, it separates so no uni-breast!

This is absolutely the best sports bra I have ever had the pleasure owning. I am a 40DD and I can assure you, a quality sports bra is difficult to find. I love this bra and can't say enough good things about it!

Please ADD another row of hooks for the 40DDD bra. Can't be that thin for this bra to be hooked. Needs another row for the 40DDD bra. And, thank you for this bra. It's about time for us bigger size women. The 40G doesn't work..too tight!! Just make the 40DDD with another row of hooks. I'm having another row placed on mine. Would nbe nice not to have this added expense. I buy ONLY your brand bras. The sports is my favorite. You got it right..just add the extra row and golly ..the perfect bra for ALL times.

This is my go to bra. 34g.
However, I wish they would widen the band for the larger sizes. The only issue I have is when you start on the farthest hook there should be a little more material because the hook rubs on the skin. Everyone I've had does this. Once I go to the second hook it's fine

Loved how this bra felt. Very comfortable,and fit like a glove. The band was 2 little and the straps were on the edge of my shoulders. I know i need a bigger band size but the straps will not stay up. I used the digital sizing and bought two different bras. The other fit was the same size but the band fit. but the same issue with the strap close to the edge of my shoulders.

I love this bra. It gives full coverage nd the underwire is on the outside! The only problem I have is that the wire pokes out on the outside and catches my arm all the time. It is getting sore. Please advise me of anything I can do to correct this problem.

I am pleased with these bras - I bought 3 . The design addresses the issue I was having with chafing under my breasts and they provide firm support. The flaw is that the hooks tend to dig into my back so I must keep repositioning the tail to protect my back. Part of the problem may be that I bought 42DDD when really, 44DD tends to be more comfortable but you do not make this bra in that size.

Product fulfilled my need for support. Not the best looking but makes up for it in support. Comfortable too.

I've been wearing the Simone Sport Underwire bra for years - haven't found a bra that fits me better or holds things in place more nicely. That said, the newer bras (I've purchased 2 Simones in the last year) must be made with different material or stitching in the back - nylon thread maybe? It itches & irritates the skin on my back terribly. I finally had to buy a "sleeve" to put over the back clasp so that the bra itself does not touch my skin. I have not had this problem before and I probably own 6 or 7 older Simones. Still, I haven't found a bra w/ better styling/fit so I didn't return. But wish I didn't have to purchase the sleeves - added expense and added hassle.
