My complaint is the elastic doesn't last very well and stretches out to the point that I can't shorten the bra straps anymore. This was after only about 1 and 1/2 yrs of use. I already had 2 bras just like the ones I ordered this time.

This is billed as a sports bra, however it didn't give me enough support for my morning jog. However it was very comfortable for a bike ride and yoga class.

Love Wacoal bras, ordered different style was too small, returned and will reorder the bra I have now when I see my billing as been credited. Comfortable, great bra for large busted women.

I love Wacoal products and hoped this would be a great replacement for the running bras that I currently have. The Wacoal is much more comfortable but it doesn't keep me in place when I run--I bounce around too much. I love though that the straps are comfortable and the band is tight enough but the clasps don't dig into my back like the bra I currently use. I will still use it for low impact exercise though.

Review for Zappos VIP Points(What's this?)
I liked the way this looked. It would be an excellent bra if the straps could be extended further. I had it on the longest ladder and it dug into my should so bad..my arms went numb. Do they make an extender to make the straps a little longer?

I have a petite frame, 4'11'' and wear a 32 DD or 32 DDD. Often times straps can't become tight enough because of my small shoulders, but with this bra, even on the very loosest setting I feel mildly nauseated by the tightness and find myself pulling at the straps to take off pressure during my work shift. I can see how for anyone slightly bigger it would be absolutely impossible to wear this bra. I think it would be great if the straps just had a few more lengths added.

The overall fit was good; however, the fabric is too thin in front for my liking.

Band (34) is a little tight, but with a sport bra, I expect and prefer that to looseness. If this were just an everyday bra, support would be fine. However, it's a sports bra. Unfortunately, when I gave it the "bounce" test, my girls were not well-restrained. I returned the bra because of insufficient support for high-impact sports. If I were reordering, I would probably go up one band size, from 34DD to 36DD.

This detailed review is intended to help those of us with D cups. I'm a 36. Pros: soft fabric, no inside seams, easy to adjust. Cons: underwires come way around under my arms; soft jersey cups allow too much wobble; no slings on the side of the cups; thin jersey shows nipples through. Best use: walking, gym work that does not involve aerobics; maybe yoga. This is NOT a high impact sport bra. D cups would bounce running. If you want a high impact bra, get a Lunaire; they are the only ones that keep me supported and still at a sitting trot on my horse.

The bra was defective but I'm still using it. It appears the tag is on the wrong side. The bra is good for running so I'm still using it but it does seem like something happened incorrectly during manufacturing but it didn't affect the overall use of the bra. I am not sure I will order another one but if I do and it is defective I will send it back right away. I've already worn this one so I didn't think I could send it back.

I'm still looking for a supportive sport bra. The 36DDD fit true in the cups, but the band felt like a corset. I have a short torso which might be why it felt so restrictive.

I ordered the same size that I have worn for several years, this bra was too large both in the band and cup. Also, I didn't care for the fabric of the cup; molded cup seems more supportive.

There is a place in front where the two wires meet, and they stick out and you can see them through clothes. If a person were small busted, they would not do that, as there would be more room between the breasts. Runs small.

I could have very much appreciated this bra however it cut off circulation to arms.

Everything about the construction of this bra is terrific...except there's absolutely nothing in the cups to help prohibit bounce and jiggle when you're doing anything remotely sporty. Even if the day's exercise just includes taking a walk, I have to wear a compression bra with this one. One other thing that takes getting used to: the wires are on the OUTSIDE of the bra, instead of on the skin side. It took me a couple of tries before I realized I wasn't putting it on inside-out. The benefit is no chafing under your arms from the underwire, though, so I like it. This is my go-to "tshirt bra" for when I'm dressed casually, but it's just not suitable as an athletic sports bra without pairing it with a compression bra.

I LOVE this bra but it is cut way too high! I don't wear exceptionally low cut shirts at all but the bras shows with just a basic v-neck. This would be my favorite sport bra if not for that.

Quality seemed good but the band was so small. At least 2 band sizes smaller than others brands I wear (glamorise, Pima Donna, elomi). I returned it because sizing was so off.

Review for Zappos VIP Points(What's this?)
The material is thin but seems strong. I have worn a 32 band for decades but this band was too tight, so I had to hook it on the first row. There’s no overlap of fabric there, however, so the hooks dug into my back, the top one leaving a red, painful mark. I may order another one, a size up, bc otherwise it seems well-made.

Too small. Not to size. Great quality except the cups are made of flimsy fabric and does not appear to be able to provide support for high activity. I have had this same sports bra for many years and it appears they changed it. I love Wacoal but will be returning this item.

I have several of the same exact Simone sports bras all in same size and love them... But, for some reason the one I just purchased is irritating me under the clasp on my back. I think it is the hard stitching used on the seam of where the clasp is. I'm going to return and try a new one, maybe this one was just stitched wrong or is not aligned right, so it's uncomfortable.

Size is too small. Always wear 34 DD, the band on this bra is too tight, even for a sport bra! Contacted customer service for some help in purchasing a size that will fit, can't return product, I wore it, my mistake. Was told to book a virtual bra consultation.
