Wacoal Women's Underwire Sport Bra

This sports bra is outstanding. I am a 32H, which is an exceptionally difficult size to fit for a sports bra. Or any bra for that matter. I own 10 of these, not joking. They are worth every penny.- The sizing is exactly like a regular bra.- The exoskeleton type underwire seems strange, but they truly serve their purpose. You are totally supported. No slipping out the bottom and you are perfectly separated. No sweaty uni-boob.- Perfect lift. If only all my bras had such a beautiful silouette. In fact, I often wear this sports bra as a t-shirt bra. As other ladies here have mentioned, it lifts and shapes so nicely, you find yourself kind of living in this bra. And I wear the heck out of these when I'm menstral and my breasts hurt with every movement. It's then that I send a little prayer up to the bra gods to give the designer of this bra their place in the heavens!- The strange straps annoyed me at first. Then I realized that the reason this bra functions so beautifully is because it doesn't have the usual type of sliding adjustable straps. My lady bits would just pull those out of place during my workout. The hook keeps those straps exactly where you want them and they don't budge. I learned to take my time when I put it on to neatly tuck the ends under the straps (I use the shortest setting so I have the longest amount to tuck away) but once I tuck them under the strap they no longer trouble me. Someone left a review here that they hated the bra because of that. I think that reviewer missed the whole objective of the bra when they made that judgement call. Taking a minute to tuck your strap ends is a very small price to pay for a sports bra that functions so well.- I am finally able to engage in high impact workouts. The total full coverage, stay put straps, exoskeleton underwire, and sturdy construction all serve to prevent bounce. I have run a 5k, do bouncy spin cycling, and high impact plyometric workouts and am totally satisfied with this bras performance. Which is why I now own 10.- These bras breathe very well. I have done seriously sweaty activities in this bra and I have been very happy with its ability to handle the moisture and retain its excellent support. Really impressive!- Have I mentioned what this bra does for your figure?! It's akin to spanx for your breasts. Perfect perfect perfect shape, exceptional lift, perfect spacing, smoothing and firming. I literally get 2-3 inches height on my waistline, making me look slimmer! Woohoo! As other ladies here have mentioned, this sort of shaping when you have large breasts is like gold in your pocket.Advice:1. Wash in a mesh bag and line dry. That being said, I have washed and dried the piss out of several of these bras and they did pretty well. But the dryer does weaken the strength of the stretchy bits over time and will eventually result in a less supportive bra. The mesh bag serves to protect the underwire from going awry and the hook and eye closures from getting messed up. These bras are not delicate princesses, but to make them stay in great shape and enjoy a long and productive life in your wardrobe, it's worth the extra effort so buy a mesh bag with your bra if you don't have one already. It's worth the investment. They do dry very fast.2. Get the right fit. This bra only does its job well when you get it in the right fit. The underwire should be flush against your chest under your breast and especially between your breasts. The back should be very snug. The cup fabric should cover your entire breast all the way, no breast tissue out the sides or over the top. Especially if you do moderate to high impact workouts, you will want to get this fit right. But when you do, the heavens part and the angels sing!!

This bra is $20 more at Nordstrom. But seriously, if you're staring at this bra at 3AM with a glass of wine and wondering if you should get it... GET IT. Also, stop drunk shopping online. It's not good for you. But buy this bra then start exercising again. That way you won't be up at 3AM with insomnia. AND your boobs won't hurt. I'm very happy with this bra and am considering buying another in a different color. It lifts my girls up and SEPARATES them witch is amazing and makes me feel like a super hero.

Trust me on that one.I’ll try and report back after giving this one a few weeks at the gym, washings, etc and see how it hold up,P.S.The bra doesn’t have the traditional sports bra crossed back, so you could ideally wear this as a regular everyday bra as well.It also has a four row hooks for back closure.

I have purchased at least 12 of these bras over the last couple of years. The quality control of the sizing is terrible! Some bras have varied at leasr 2 " smaller in the band measurement and the straps are likewise much too short. I have written Wacoal twice, but they have not addressed the problem. This is a very well made, high quality bra, but the irregular sizing is causing me to look for another brand. They also need to increase the band sizing and offer a 42 inch band as well. I hope they read this. It's a shame!

I love this bra as it lifts and separates as the old commercials used to say for a different brand. It pulls my breasts further inward as all Wacoal bras do. This has a slimming effect if you are a bit chubby or older. When I was young and shaped perfectly, I did not like Wacoal at all because I wanted to look BIGGER and older! LOLI love that I can cross the straps in the back to better hide the straps.Only four stars for the hideous connector for the straps that bunch and is a pain to get smoothed out. It is highly annoying.

I am a 38H in most bras, very wide and heavy breasts, and I'm about 5 foot 6 and 160 pounds. It has been nearly impossible my whole life to find a bra that lifts, minimizes, shapes, and is comfortable. This bra covers all of those, minus the comfort, but when you're my size, nothing is comfortable. I own twelve of these, now. It's THAT good at what it does, people, and the uncomfortable shoulders are worth it at the end of the day. Shirts fit better, there's almost no backfat, no dreaded uni-boob problems, it's cut high enough so I don't need to worry about spilling out of it, and you can breathe while wearing it. The only issues I've noticed is the fabric tends to hold sweat, and the top of the bra wire near the cleavage sticks out under your shirt, but given the massive pros, it's worth it. If you are large chested and looking for a magic bra, ADD THIS TO YOUR CART. I hope it works for you as well as it's worked for me.

I already had two of these bras in the neutral colour, and they fit like a dream. Today, I received the above bra in black, and to my dismay the fit is totally different. The underwire extends almost an inch further under the arm making it uncomfortable, and furthermore it distorts the fit of the cup which now feels too big. I haven't washed it yet, and I'm hoping it will fit like the two bras I already own when I do wash it. Why can't the manufacturer be more consistent with the sizing when making these items. This is supposed to be a high quality product, and but it doesn't fit like a high quality bra, it fits like a bra you can buy at a fraction of the cost. I will keep the bra because I'm tired of going through the hassle of returning items especially when there are inconsistencies as far as sizing is concerned, but I'm not happy about keeping it, and will take more care in future before I purchase an item.

Great

Very nice item thank you

I was so glad I read the reviews on this bra as it can be a confusing garment. The underwires are meant to be on the outside. It looks totally weird but I am guessing it makes the bra more comfortable. Like all Wacoal bras, the size is bang on. I am always a 36DDD in Wacoal and this style was no exception. This is at least the third sports bra I have purchased and the first I have not returned. I have even tried other Wacoal sports bras which although the sizing was right, the fit was not. This style fits like a glove. It doesn't move around while I am working out and therefore there is no need to be constantly adjusting things during my workout. I honestly forget I am wearing it which is a total miracle for a sports bra.

Love these bras! Nice and tight so the girls don't move as much. I do find it quite tight, but I like it better - feels more locked and loaded! I use this type of sports bra to run and it is very difficult to find sports bras in Canada that go up this high of a cup size but have the band size! Love it.
