I already wrote one review on this and said I might buy another. I did! In beige. It works well as a t-shirt bra and is super comfortable. I don't do high-impact work-outs anymore, but I would get great support with this if I did.

I was happy this bra did not squish my breasts as other sport bras do. I am a size 34 G so finding support for running that doesn't feel like a straight jacket is great.

Nice for a sports bra. My only complaint is its extremely tight around. Ordered a 38 which should more than fit and still tight on last fitting. I may get an extender for it, as I do like the bra otherwise.

Probably should have sent it back, as it is quite tight around the ribcage...but now I've worn it to work out in and so I'll keep it. That is my only complaint with it.

This is a great bra.. No matter what bra I buy, It comes off When I get home. A t-shirt at home is all i need. Buy this bra, your'll be happy.

The only thing I don't like about the style is that the strap has to be tucked under the shoulder strap in back when the bra is on and it's hard to reach back there to tuck it in. Wish the adjustment could be in front.

it's sports bra but is so comfortable and flattering I wear it daily. One little thing to improve: I would love to be able to lengthen the straps just a bit further than this one can go.

Finding a sports bra for a larger cup size has always been a challenge. When I discovered Wacoal, I was immediately impressed. Their bra fit me perfectly and performed great during high impact activities. I am now a dedicated customer.

Excellent fit and true to size. Support is good but not enough for a high impact exercise such as jogging.

Don't feel like it keeps them from bouncing all over but it is crazy comfortable so I wear it as my everyday bra. I would consider it a medium impact sports bra.

I bought his bra out of sheer desperation. My other sports bras had become so uncomfortable after wearing them for a only short time, compression, smushing both breasts together so that sweating when exercising could lead to a skin rash, and when I took the garment off I'd have red, sore, ridges all around the under bust.
I am a DD but in this bra (I tried it on in a store before ordering the color I wanted online) I am a DDD. I am not sure if that's a true rule for this style, maybe I am slightly fuller than a DD, if you are fuller busted maybe go up one cup size for comfort.
This bra is so comfortable I can wear it all day, take it off, and there are no red welts on my skin. I started jogging a few weeks ago and while I do have some bounce in this bra it's not excessive or painful, more of a natural motion. My other sports bras fit like an Iron Maiden, so nothing moves but my body ends up chafing against that rigidity. If you want no movement at all then perhaps this is not the bra for you but I find it comfortable to run in.
One thing that threw me a little, the bra looks like you have it on inside out, the cups are well separated on the outside but the inside of the bra has smooth lining that stretches over both cups. It was a little confusing when I got it, I am used to traditional sports bras that are seamless on the outside and the boning or wiring is on the inside.
The shoulder straps are adjustable not in the usual 'slider' type way, you can actually unhook the strap and re-hook it into an adjusted setting. This stops the straps from coming loose or slipping when you exercise, the weight in the front can't force the straps to loosen. This is a big plus for larger busts.
One last thing, it's of a thinner material than more heavy gauge cotton sports bras so in colder weather it's slightly less adept at covering our modesty if your shirt is also thin.
This is a great bra and I'd definitely order more when I see how well it stands up to wear and tear.

This would really be a great sports bra if the cup material was stronger like cotton. It does have great support with the style and underwire; however, no cup support. I will return.

Very good support and excellent fit. I wear a 38G and finding good sports bras is very hard to do. This one gives excellent coverage and really straps the girls in tightly. This bra is not the most comfortable but will do for workouts only. If the wires didn't go so far up the sides, I could maybe wear it for longer periods, but that's not the case here.

This bra is one of the best I've found out there for big breasted women who want to still be active and work out. It is extraordinarily frustrating to not have a supportive, comfortable bra while working out.
The only downsides of this bra is that it comes up very high on your chest. Don't bother with V neck tshirts, the bra comes up higher. This is full coverage so your best bet is crew neck. The straps are also very thick (but comfortable). So thick that the majority of sleeveless exercise tops don't work with this bra because the bra shows.
Again, I highly recommend for big breasted women because its so supportive and comfortable when being active. Just note that you're limited to wearing tshirts, and not sexy ones.

I really like the bra, and probably my only draw back (although I am not sure how it can be fixed) is the underwire in the middle (cleavage) area is too big/high

The absolute only thing that I find wrong with this bra is that the wires are too long in the middle between the breasts. They stick into my center bone, Making that Area quite painful. I'm a 32 Size D orD D cup Wearing a size 4 or six top. I also have a prosthesis on the right side and it's very comfortable with the bra If it weren't so long in the middle. Small frame not like most of the larger girls.

The shape and quality of this bra are good. My problem is that the underwire is to long, it rides up in the back of the cups and digs into my armpits. I find it very uncomfortable to a point that after a couple of hours it can be painful. I have adjusted the straps longer but this still doesn't help. I have the Lindsey sports bra and love it. Thought I would try the Simone really wish I hadn't.

This item seems to run small (or at least smaller in comparison to the Linsey I have purchased prior to this). For a sports bra, this slides quite a bit AND allows nipples to show through when cold. I don't want to be working out and worry about my nipples. UGH

All of my clothing looks much better on me when wearing the Simone Sport Underwire Bra. My posture looks better, younger, fitter. I've worn sports bras for almost 30 years, no other bras no matter how much more they cost, compare to the Simone Sport Bra. I've been wearing the Simone bras under sweaters, body suits & clingy tops---I feel confident & know that I am looking my best. I will never go back to wearing any of my other bras ever again.

I take a 40c in Wacoal bras. This bra, I should have ordered a 42. Sport bras should be snugger than an everyday bra, but this was really tight. Will use a bra extender.
