Customer Reviews Wacoal Sport Underwire Bra 855170

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.

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.

Felt like a very tight, restrictive harness

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.

The bra is great except for one thing. There is some sticking or something that pokes and scatches my back where the strap and back meet. I have search for the plastic and there is none, but the only way I can wear the bra is if I put a band aid on that spot.

These were returned for a refund. Waiting for the refund. Purchased a month ago. Needed a size up. Still waiting. When purchased it was NOT a finale sale. Want to repurchase but service is questionable.

Super excited about this bra, my friend swears by it. I tried it on and it fit perfect. Took off the tag as I thought it was a keeper. Then when I was out in public and was sitting down I noticed it was poking up on my shirt. The wire is very tall for a 5"2 woman and was protruding up at the top of my chest. No return since I took off the tag so do a sit down test before you take the tag off, expensive mistake!

They reimagined the strap length controls to make it less adjustable. I had to send it back, too bag they used to have a great design.

The cup fabric is very thin. Nipples show through on all of my tops and tshirts. Also, cups have an unnatural pointed shape

I found this bra comfortable, however it gives me NO side to side swing support (38D) and little bounce support. The straps do not have enough adjustment options, need to be able to tighten it up more. Had I gone by the sizing recommendation measurements I would have purchased a 34C. The 38D fits me well. Underwire bends out slightly at top inside of cup. Not a smooth look.

Poor fit

Wacoal is a quality brand, This sport bra is well-made and a good fit. However, the underwire is cut too high under my arms making it very uncomfortable. Maybe for someone else it would be ok, but I had to return.

Fit is not good - can't wear and giving away

Although beautifully made, it had no support, & made me be flat as a pancake, ha ha!
