Customer Reviews Jockey Active Groovy High Impact Sports Bra

I reviewed this in November, giving it 4 stars because it is very supportive and flattering, but knocking off a star because of an issue I had with the stitching in the back rubbing on my skin uncomfortably. Well, it’s not just an issue, it’s a hazard! I have twice gotten blisters now from this bra - an absolute first in my many years as an athlete! The bilisters break and then you have a road rash-type of friction burn that hurts for weeks. I still wear the bra - OVER my undershirt! Ridiculous design. It’s as if Jockey didn’t even have an actual human try this thing out before putting on the market.

Ok, it’s a conundrum. For a high support sports bra it’s a 4 out of 5. I’m sure I could spend a bunch on an expensive one and look like a booby gal going out for the night (LOL) Mild liner gives a bit of padding and, for a bra without a clasp, the support is just as good as any. Over time it may stretch out; however, I’m a 36B and the L is perfect. If you are bigger then a B you may get a sausage boob- less than a B = no sausage. CON- the stitching, where the straps meet the ‘material’ of the bra, is very uncomfortable. I believe the manufacturer used something to ‘glue’ the threads, thus creating a scratchy seam at the upper middle of your back. I’ve ironed a patch onto the area and it seems to be working. I imagine the longevity of this fix will be a problem. I don’t plan on returning the bra- the pros outweigh the cons. And like I said, my temporary fix is working...

I’m 5’2” 111 lbs with broad shoulders and saggy, post-nursing 36B boobs. Ordered my usual medium and the fit is perfect. This bra is flattering and very supportive on y distance runs. I can’t give it all the stars for two reasons. First, is the stitching in the back (at the racerback) is clunky and irritates between the shoulder blades. Usually once I really get running I stop noticing it, but it’s annoying during that first mile or so before I find my groove. Fix that and the bra is nearly perfect! The second thing, and this is really minor, is that the straps don’t stay adjusted to where I want them, especially after washing. The plastic adjuster-thingies slide back to their original position. Not a huge deal but would be nice to not have to reset the straps every time. Overall a great sports bra that actually works for running.
