I had to return it. Way too tight!! The bra is well made and yes it supports, but there's snug and then there's feeling like your chest is in a vice grip. I will try to purchase a larger bandwidth and go to a DDD.

I like this sports bra but I don't love it. It is easy to adjust which is great. It is comfortable. I went up one band size from a 38C to a 40C and am glad I did as it runs small in the band. My only complaint and why I gave it 3 stars is because it does show my nipples when its cold. I wish it had a very light padding layer to prevent this. So I don't wear it to the gym (reason I bought it) at least in the winter now so for this reason I would not buy again.

I have other sports bras from them and this bra is my least favorite. The cut of the bra is a lot different than the others so not as comfortable

The coverage is great but underwire digs into underarm and it comes very high in front so you need to wear a high sports top otherwise the bra sticks out

I have worn Wacoal for years. Always 38C. This bra barely fit. Really snug - more like 36. Other than that I like the support when working out.

I really like the bra however the straps are not long enough. One more notch would be perfect. I am tall so for most it will work but not me.

Using the fit guide on the website I measured as a 38D. I don't like it to be too tight in the band so I ordered a 40D thinking I would have some adjustment if it was too big. But I can barely hook it in the back - it is way too tight. Love the bra but sadly have to return it.

It's a nice fit and very supportive, but it is definitely not a "tshirt bra", if you get my drift. I would say the photos have been photoshopped because the cup fabric is pretty thin, no padding. I ordered it one size larger in the band (40DD) to wear for everyday as sports bras are usually pretty binding on the ribcage for all-day wear.

I loved the fit and support of this bra so I bought another in the same color. The first one was a normal nude color but this one is more of a grayish color. Side by side shows how different the color is Going to keep it but a bit irritated. There is not even a choice for a grayish color.

I am sorry I ordered the size I did, I was advised on phone to order the same size bra even though the original bra was a regular bra and the new one was a sports bra. It is very snug, I should have been advised that the sports bras are snugger. Should have ordered 40 DD.

A little tighter than I'd like. Seems like it's cut small. I know it should be snug for support, but it's more snug around than all my other bras.

Fit great, but has absolutely no padding. Doesn't work for me, I'm at 34DD and need at least light padding

This is a sturdy bra, and holds up under strenuous activity despite the weight of my natural 36G size (I'm now a 36H). When I wore it, my the fabric was too thin to hide and protect my nipples which is uncomfortable when bouncing up and down. I felt like it ran a bit tight, and wish I had traded in for a larger cup size.

I would have given this a 5 star if only they send me the right size body suit. I have to return it.

I went to order my favorite bra that I've worn for years only to discover Wacoal isn't making them any more (model 853209). This version is very similar and I like everything about it EXCEPT the cup fabric it waaaay too thin and doesn't camouflage nips! If this bra had thicker fabric it would be a good replacement to the older version. Please Wacoal, update this new bra or bring back the old one!!

Although the material against your body feels great, there is too much underwire and straps are too wide. It did provide very good "holding power, but not for me. I stick with the Waco Minimizer Bra style Visual effects. Always purchase a band and cup larger than other brands.

It's a beautiful bra, except for the fact it has no padding over the private areas which I need, so I must return it.

Very comfortable but not lined as well as the older Walcoal sports bras I own. The cup fabric was thicker and didn't show outline as the new version does.

It was difficult to put on as the underwires are sort of on the outside. I returned it.

OK I love this as a sports bra and for everyday wear. It is lined, but not padded, which I love. And very supportive. BUT, after a workout, it is almost impossible to get out of. I perspire very heavily and this bra just sticks to me and won't come off. I am large and large-breasted and love all Wacoal products they have been my go-to for years. But this one is so hard to get off.

This bra up is extremely comfortable and true to size. Unfortunately it is unlined. So, while working out at the gym, once the a/c came on my nipples were on clear display for everyone to see. Being quite modest, this bra is going back in exchange for the Wacoal sport bra that does not show thru.
