Customer Reviews Brooks Maia Back-Adjustable Medium-Impact Sports Bra (C-E) | Moving Comfort

I thought surely this bra would fit, but it doesn't. It is a great, well made bra, but I think its cups are designed for a the full rounded bust of a young woman. I am disappointed, but even going one size down from my regular, the cups were too big. The bra itself is well made and though firm around the body, comfortable overall.

I really love moving comfort, their sports bras are awesome. I only have it a 4 instead of a 5 because it didn't give me an option to rate size. I am typically a DDD so I got an E because my size was not an option. It isn't as supportive as my other ones. I hesitated ordering online because I could not try it on. Lesson learned.

I am a 38DD and have tried many sports bras. I initially ordered the Moving Comfort Juno bra, but I did not like the "V" neck shape it had. I felt like I was going to pop out of the top of the bra! I sent it back and ordered the Maia instead. Much better! It has underwire and the lining inside is stretchy. I did not have the uniboob. It was hard to get on, however. I had to fasten it and then put it on over my head. The only negative was that I was starting to pop out of the sides, and when I readjusted, it gave me a funny shape - I do not know how to describe it. I guess it made my chest look huge and torpedo-like. Overall, however, I was happy with the fact that I did not get cleavage from wearing this bra. I will probably order more.

I am large chested and I own 5 of these bras. I measure a 34GG but mostly wear a 36DD in regular bras. This sports bra gives me the best movement control that I've been able to find. My only complaint is that over the long haul the hooks and eyes on the back tend to fail. When paying this much for a bra you want it to last. Large chested woman need sturdy hooks and eyes due to the stress being put on them. I've had to buy new hooks and sew them on myself. I don't want to turn you away from ordering this bra though because even so - I still think this is the best bra to contain me. I will continue to buy it. I've even been known to wear this bra under nice clothes when I want to lift and flatten myself and not appear so large chested.

I am very, very fussy about sports bras and this one is pretty good. It comes up fairly high in the front, but that feature doesn't add as much support as I would like, though it does add a little more modesty than most sports bras. The bra runs true to size -- I usually wear a 32D or 34C/D and bought this in a 32D.

This bra runs a little smaller than the older versions of the Maia Moving Comfort Bras, so you might want to consider ordering a size up (e.g., if you're a 32 E, order a 34 DD). The straps also don't have as much length to them and the fabric's a bit scratchier. Overall, this is still one of the best sports bras I've come across though.

It is two inches smaller than expected (32', not 34'). Would it be possible to exchange it for a 36D or even a 38D? Thanks

Fit feels fantastic. I would have kept this bra if it wasn't for the inside fabric layer. It creates creases/wrinkles and also the material is rather sheer. I don't care for seeing the nipple shape through it. But the construction and support is excellent.

Ordinarily, I would have given this bra 5 stars but there wasn't ONE white one available in ANY size. What? I was forced to buy black even though that's not what I wanted. I have been on your website multiple times looking to buy white so this wasn't the first time I couldn't. I don't know what's going on,but this doesn't work for me. Thanks.

I think I should have ordered a cup size smaller than my actual bra size in order to really get the support I need. I'm normally a 32D or a 30DD, but felt this bra in a 32D was a little loose and lacking support. Sizing down might have resolved this problem, but I did not find out.

I need this made in a bigger size 36 DDD and the 36 E is not this size FYI. I would give this bra a 5 if it fit properly

The underwire portion is uncomfortable and digs into you. It is form fitting and supportive.

This is a good sports bra with plenty of compression, but the fitted cups take some getting used to....

I owned a 38C With the cup fitting reasonably well but the band was tight around the chest so I went to a 40C. Although the band around the chest was more comfortable the cup felt big and there was a gap under my armpit so I sent them back. I really like the whole concept of this style. I have tried on many sports bras and feel like I Have to be a gymnast just to get them on. I thought a 40B would be the perfect fit but it does not come in that size. ;( I will make do with my current 38C but struggle being uncomfortable before I even start to work out. Thankful for your 90 day return policy though :)

So they've changed the fit for the Maia bra and I'm not impressed. It used to be a simple sports bra that I'd use for every day wear. This extra built in bra within a bra is not comfortable at all. I was such a fan of Moving Comfort but Brooks is a step down. I'll be returning. I'm still a fan of the Fiona brand and Juno but Maia isn't what it used to be.

The bra is cute. It runs big, so I got a smaller cup size. I still had to return it because the lining has excessive fabric and you can see the extra fabric on the outside. It wrinkles. Very unattractive.

The underwire is uncomfortable, but the high neckline is nice to have. This has no padding in the cups and no modesty there.

I really wish this bra had worked for me, but I just have a weird relationship with underwire bras in general. I'm a 32DD, but I guess something about me is shaped differently than average, because I seem to either get painful pressure on my sternum where the wires meet in the middle, or jabbing under my armpits (even the most comfortable every day bras I've found have left a permanent callous there from rubbing all day every day). This sports bra is solid and the coverage is great (surprisingly high in the front, but it was comfortable). I even tried jumping jacks, and the girls hardly moved at all. But the wire was just digging into me (mostly on the sides), so I'm going to have to keep looking.

I love the cleavage coverage of this bra and the fabric felt great. The one problem I had was that the side are too narrow, leaving me with flesh spilling over the sides. When offering a full sized sports bra (40DD) I would recommend more fabric on the sides. I am returning it and trying the Fiona.

Bra fits well and I have bought it before. Unfortunately this time the underwire broke through and started stabbing me after only maybe 10 times worn.

I had high hopes about this bra. I tried it on in REI in a size too small for me and loved it, except for the size obviously, so ordered my size from Zappos. However, when I received the one in my size, I found that it provided less support and the fit was awkward. The bra itself is full coverage, so that itself is good--I hate having to constantly reshift the side-boob, but I found that the underwire did not lay flat between the boobs, even though the cups and band fit perfectly. The underwire actually fit better in the smaller cup size, where the cups themselves were far too small (go figure). The underwire not fitting made it pretty uncomfortable for me, so I returned.

This is not a high impact sports bra as noted on the website. The tag on the bra marks it as a medium impact. Nice style but had to return it.

NOT like the original Maia bra. Zappos listing is misleading, still has pics of the old bras with the Moving Comfort logo. Runs big, 36DD fits like a 38DDD. Also, weird gaps on the sides.

Zappos was kind enough to exchange these for me but they still aren't perfect and I hate I spent so much and bought two! Anyway first I had the 36DD. Then I got the 36D. The cup size is weirdly too big even though I went down a cup size. It’s like I have to lift my boobs up and smooth out the fabric. Maybe this would work for young full boobs but mine are 46 years old and there's no way I'd wear a C cup. Either way I suggest going a size down from your normal cup size and maybe you'll have some luck with this one. The quality of the bra is excellent.
