Customer Reviews Anita Extreme Control Soft Cup Sports Bra 5527

This bra is the most comfortable and best-fitting bra that I have tried. I wear it as an every-day bra, not just for exercise. The fabric does not trap perspiration and the bra has been very easy to wear during this hot summer. The workmanship and materials used to make this bra is superior to what is found in most common brands. The bra gives excellent coverage and support without wires. Plus the bottom band doesn't roll up. That can be very annoying. When I put this bra on, it stays in place and I don't "feel" it on. I highly recommend this bra because of its excellent quality and fit.

This bra was, as someone else said, a life saver for me. I just had a total mascectomy and am having breast reconstruction. They forgot to mention how painful the expander that they give you can be. They had given me a bra and told me to wear it, but it was really impossible. I got this, and immediately pain was reduced. I wear it all day and all night, so I actually got another one. I tried wearing a less tight bra to sleep in, but the pain returned so back to this one. I hope I can get back to real life soon.

This is the very best sports bra I have ever owned, and I have tried dozens. It also comes in a really cool black/grey combination, which you will want to wear on a hot day with shorts, it looks that good. As for support, it has a great deal of it; I am 32D and that size fits perfectly, It starts out a little tight, but after a few wears, it seems almost to mold to your body. I already have 3 of this stye and cannot recommend it more highly. Great sports bra!

If you need a true motion control bra and you're busty, this one is excellent. It does give a uniboob, but it keeps everything where it needs to be. The bra itself is very lightweight, easy to put on, doesn't have any scratchy seams. Sizing runs correct, at least in the 38H that I bought.

This is the best sports bra I have ever owned. It starts out a little tight, but after a few wears and washings, it molds to your body. As for support, it could use a little more; I am a 40C and the size fits great. I just need lots of support. The soft terry cloth lining helps keep you dry. I already have 3 of these bras and recommend it highly. Great sports bra!

I've always had underwire bras. I had no idea you could get this kind of support from a non-underwire bra. This bra is so comfortable and keeps me so supported that I've ordered 5 more and am throwing out 5 old underwires. Small complaint, it has so much coverage that you can see it in a v-neck t-shirt. The comfort and support totally overrule this for me, however. I'm a 34C. I jog daily then ride 5 horses. It stays very comfortable all day. It looks and feels like it will hold up for awhile.

I really wanted this bra to work for me and it finally does after 3 tries. I ordered my regular 32G, and it was so tight and created a total uniboob. So I exchanged it for a 32H. A little better, but still very tight and still some uniboob. So I tried a 34H (a size that would normally be too big) and voila. It still doesn’t separate as much as I’d like, but for a small bust it would probably be fine. It provides surprisingly good support for a wireless bra, especially in this size. I was after a softer sports bra for the days I’m just going to walk or take a yoga class or something. Wireless bras in larger sizes are very hard to find. This one is going to work. I’d say if you have a large bust order up one band and one cup size.

If you’re looking for a cute fashion sports bra to lounge around in, this is not for you. This is 100% designed to be functional for holding you in place during high impact workouts like running. This is the best sports bra I’ve ever found for running. It’s not stretchy so fit and cup size are important. It’s light weight and breathable and because it’s not spandex it won’t stretch out and lose its support with frequent washing.

It feels very supportive and I like that it is wireless. I am a 32G in my regular bras and the 34H in this bra worked perfect. I have a 32H in this bra also and it is way to small.

I needed soft, no seam inside the cups, support & no underwire during radiation treatment. After trying several other options, this was perfect for my needs. I will be able to use it for my exercise bra in the future, so it is a good investment. I bought 4!

This is generally a good brand. Sturdy. This one was too small. It also gives you Uniboob which is what I thought I was going to avoid here. If you have a larger chest this one is not for you, unless you don't mind the uniboob! ;) I would recommend increasing the band size, but not the cup size if you are thinking of purchasing this bra. It was very well made and looks like it will hold up, just not the right one for me.

Small and not high impact. Not worth the money.

Does the job, bigtime. I am a 32G and always wore an underwire, provided I could even find a bra in my size (almost never). I got sick of the discomfort. This bra is powerful without a stabbing wire. Yes, there is a slight unibosom situation, but I am delighted to be able to look a bit flat chested, rather than looking matronly. I am grateful to be able to have access to bras that fit a very small woman with very large--well, you know.

I have been wearing this sports bra since purchasing my first one more than five years ago. It is the most comfortable bra I have ever worn and I have tried many different brands over the years. I just purchased my third one and it is very unlikely that I will ever buy another style. I just hope it is available for many years.

This is a fantastic sports bra! It is true to size. It is also very breathable and the fabric isn't too bulky or thick. It's great for high-impact activities like running (but is also comfortable enough for things like yoga). I wear it on my long runs, and it does not chafe and minimizing bouncing very well. I only wish it came in more colors!

This sports bra is the T-R-U-T-H! I use it while running and jumping rope. The fit and lift are beyond flattering. The wide straps have a textured padding, so the bra does not move while you're exercising. The interior surfaces of the cups feel nice and help with moisture management. The ventilated mesh sides are divine when running in the summer. I am in the process of replacing every sports bra I own with this one. I currently own the denim and the black. I am a C-cup.

Extremely supportive during high impact exercise yet comfy enough for yoga. Breathable. Size as expected for a 40B. Functional more than pretty but that is ok. First time trying this brand and would purchase again.

Received this yesterday and when I took it out of the packaging my first thought was "oh no, another dud" however I figured I may as well try it. I was very surprised how comfortable it turned out to be. The band does not ride up on me and even though I don't feel the cups out completely its enough that I am ok with it under my workout tops. The bra say Extreme Control and my concern was the girdle effect except in a bra which did not happen. This bra is well made and for once it's not made in China. Thank you! I will be giving this brand a lot of attention for my other bra needs as well. I do wish that the tags could be done better because there 2 maybe 3 of them and they do not stay against the bra just like all other tags from various mfg. you have to keep messing with them.

This is a good performance bra but the straps are too short even when adjusted to longest. It digs into shoulders

Unattractive but super comfortable and very supportive

The good: fits well, true to size, holds everything in place, does what a sports bra is supposed to do without creating the dreaded "uniboob" look. Another plus: no padding. These bras wash and air dry quickly, and they don't take up a ton of space in luggage. They've become my go-to for travel sports bras. The bad: the material comes up kind of high across my chest, so I can't wear this with a medium v-neck or scoop neck without a substantial amount of bra showing across the top. So it works well under lots of clothes, just not everything. It's comfortable enough for everyday wear, it just doesn't work with certain kinds of tops.

Like all Anita products, this impressed me with its comfort construction, especially the bands, which are supportive without cutting in, and widely spaced without slipping. Unfortunately, I really want a natural-fiber product, and I just can't see myself being comfortable in this when the temperature is hot. The back band was made out of a nicely vented synthetic, but the front is more of a canvas-weight. This would probably be fine for most people; I am really sensitive to non-natural fibers. I also have a bone of contention with the Anita profile; it tends to be a little pointy for my taste if this is to be worn under clothing (as I want to), but would not be an issue for someone wanting to exercise. All in all, it didn't meet my picky ideals, but is a very nicely made and comfortably fitting exercise bra.

Not a sports bra. No padding and not enough support to run in. Comfortable for casual wear.

I’ve worn it around the house a little, the material is rough on the skin. The fit was right. Overall not my favorite sports bra.

I loved how this bra fit initially but something at the back clasp keeps irritating me and leaving a red mark. Think it's just the corner.
