Does not deliver

For starters, I am a 34DD in my mid twenties and to me this bra is only useful for yoga at home. I purchased this bra because of all the amazing reviews, which I now totally disagree with. I enjoy running, hiking, yoga, and gym activities.The disapointment started with the look of the bra, as a curvy woman I hope to at least look like one, but in this I felt like a B. I told myself to suck it up, because nobody cares at the gym. On the drive to the gym, I found myself wobbling in this bra, bad sign. The "molded cups" they claim to have are nothing more than a very thin layer of tightly shaped fabric, nothing like say, the Juno. Additionally, the only way to avoid a lot of movement is to tighten the straps to the point that your shoulders end up hurting by the end of cardio, before I can even get to strength training. I get that enough in my daily life.The two biggest failings were ones I encountered on a hike. The "compression" aspect of the bra does nothing more than mash you together. Beneath the thin fabric the girls are free to wobble about and between them there is no breathing room. To put it lightly, I was uncomfortably sweaty and still wishing for a real sports bra. While walking! Then, when a cold wind blows, anybody around is free to see exactly how chilly you find it. Embarassing, to say the least.I honestly don't understand how this is a high impact bra recommended to women my size. I gave the company a second chance and picked up a Juno on sale. After just one gym use I love it so much more in every way. I look good and I feel good. We'll see how it holds up on a hike. Do not buy this online if you are curvy, try it in a store. Even on sale, now I'm out that money because I was desperate for a sports bra.
