The Wacoal high impact underwire sport bras are the only bras I have worn for years! However, after pregnancy my rib cage permanently expanded, so this time I had to order the next size up. Despite being a larger size,the new bras are smaller around than my old bras! They don't make a 42C in this style, so I am SOL. Have to find a new brand of bra...I will now cry.

The fit was good on this bra, but I really wanted the contour sports underwire. I thought that's what I ordered based on the photo, but it wasn't. I don't like any show through, so this one doesn't work. Returned.

If you want a tight (AND I MEAN TIGHT) bra, try this one. I wanted this to work but holy moly, it was much, much too tight. It's a 38C and really almost cut into me it was so tight. The style was good and the design seems like a good one, but apparently not for me. Too much trouble to send back so I'll just donate to a women's shelter.

I am critical when it comes to bras because I can rarely find the ONE. This had promise, but the cups were thin (not discreet) and the underwire came up too high at my chest that it was visible above my shirt line. It was comfortable and supportive. Just not perfect.

I had to return this bra, the material of the cups was way too thin and it shows everything. If you don't want to display your nipples, then this bra is not for you.

I feel like I have been cheated. The two bras I have purchase of a flaw!! The wire is on the outside of the bra instead of inside.!! I just noticed that after I took off the tags and put them on but I'm thinking about refunding I'm very disappointed in that fact otherwise they are good bra is a very supportive.

No fault of company. The strap does bite a little. I haven't been able to find a comfortable bra in 15 yrs. They just do not make my size comfortable.
I have a G cup and am very picky about keeping those things up and supported, so it seems wire is my only option.

Zappos has pulled a fast one on this particular bra. I bought two Wacoal bras from Zappos in 2014, and they were FANTASTIC. They are still in great shape, but I decided life would be easier with two more bras. So I went to my purchasing e-mail folder, found the e-mail receipt from two years prior, and clicked on that specific "Wacoal bra" link. It brought me to this page of Wacoal bras, and I ordered two more, assuming it would be the same product as before. But when they arrived, it was immediately apparent that these newer bras are NOT the same quality (despite the cost being the same). The newer ones also don’t have stitched logo of the first two I received, so they are probably made by a different manufacturer. But Zappos kept all the five-star reviews from the original Wacoal. As a side note their “top rated review” is from 2012. It's a shame Zappos would do its customers this way. If a product is changed to a very visibly lesser product (made by a different manufacturer), at the least, Zappos should’ve made note of that on the page. Unlike the original Wacoal bra, this one is no better than any other $65 bra, and it has an uncomfortable shoulder strap design that leaves a bulky flap between the skin and the strap.

As others have pointed out, this bra provides absolutely no support. The extremely thin, stretchy, flimsy fabric the cups are made out of completely defeat the purpose all the underwire serves. I bought this for rebounding, but there's no way I would use it for that or any other activity that involves moderate to high impact. A long-time Wacoal fan, I'm very disappointed in this sports bra.

The adjustable straps are a plus, and the size is accurate However, the cups of this bra are extremely thin, especially for a sports bra. Because the material is thin, breasts bounce during movement and nipples are noticeable.

I have numerous Wacoal bras, which I really love. This one, however, has such a short strap that it is almost impossible to get on. There is something wrong with the measurements on this one!

I have regularly worn Simone sports bras for years. I recently bought another one. It is so itchy it is impossible to wear. I don't know what you did to change the threads, fabric or elastics but it is awful. I have to consider finding another brand which makes me very sad.

I rarely write a bad review, but this bra should come with a warning label. The band is significantly smaller or less flexible than any of their ordinary bras. Since I own a lot of them, I trusted that this bra would become more comfortable after a few wearings. Instead what happened was that any real movement in the chest muscles, like upper body training, caused the wires to bruise the chest wall. The fabric was also not good for allowing muscles in the chest to flex. The fabric actually crushed my breast to the point of bruising. It's a nice looking bra. It sits well. The cups are adequately spaced and shaped, the fabric is nice and the construction excellent. But it's not a good bra for working out. I'm 5'3" tall, weigh 120 pounds, and typically wear a 32DD or 32D. This was a 32DD.

This is not the bra I thought I was ordering. I chose the Simone bra so I wouldn't have a uni boob. The bra I received looks completely different. Numbers are right but wrong bea

I'm a 32G and have spent so long trying to find a sports bra with enough support. I had high hopes for this one, especially with the extra support sling, but was very disappointed with how much movement it allows. Even lightly jogging in place for a few seconds resulted in pain because my breasts moved so much.
With such a large cup size I don't expect a sports bra to hold me completely in place, but I wouldn't be able to do anything more intense than walking in this.

Why would you sell a high impact sports bra for larger busts with no lining? Good support, wish they added basic lining
