Boundless Padded Wireless Sports Bra

For this 36FF/36H (who previously thought she was a 40DD/40E) user, this bra holds breasts in place without forcing, stretching, or compressing them. They aren't flattened out or squished into cones. I've only worn it once, but so far so good! Turning, bending, twisting, running, stretching didn't challenge this bra at all. I have a lot of anxiety about the appearance of my low, post-weight-loss, stretch-marked breasts, and this bra fits so well that it lets me forget my concerns! It holds the breasts gently but securely in place so I feel assured that I'm not causing more stretching or strain to the skin when I move, and it lifts them to a place where the skin can relax and stretch marks are therefore less visible. (Although when properly fitted, this bra offers modestly high coverage, as shown in the picture.) At the same time, it separates breasts in a natural way that reduces sweaty skin-on-skin contact and the dreaded uniboob appearance. I'm even thinking about getting another and using this as an ordinary daytime bra--it's that good. I'm starting with it on the regular strap positioning, and I'll switch to X-back strap positioning when it ages and has a little less elasticity/support; I suspect that this design feature is going to give this bra a longer life span than some others. When you read negative bra reviews, keep in mind that most women are trying to make the wrong size work. The most important thing is to learn your proper size, especially for a sport bra like this one. Try a professional fitting (not an ordinary department-store fitting), even if you've tried on an armload of bras over the years. When you read on the internet that 85% of women are wearing the wrong size bra...no matter what you think or how many sizes you've tried, you probably ARE in the 85%! Get fitted and find out. If I had ordered this in the size I thought I wore, instead of the new size (down 2 bands, up 3 cups), I would have been very unhappy with it. If you want to experiment on your own, aim for a VERY tight band, and go up one cup size for each band size you decrease. If you're spilling over your cups now (quadriboob in the front, or spillover under the arms), go up an extra cup size in addition to that. (Nordstrom's bra-fit video is a good help, too.) This bra fit true to my new, fitted size; I tried on a few in adjacent sizes just to be sure. I was actually at the point of thinking about limiting certain kinds of stretches and exercises because of the awkwardness of doing them with a large chest, but I think this bra is going to rescue me. I hope it works for you!
