I lucked out on choosing the correct size. I vary between 36D-36DD in most bras but glad I went with 36DD. I've been wearing it as a normal bra though. It actually fits my needs better there and would not find it very pleasant to exercise in. I'm also not sure why someone in a smaller size would want this for a sports bra. I would definitely choose something else if I was smaller. The underwires aren't too comfortable but I can't find anything that separates well enough without them. For the price I'm very pleased and considering getting another color for an every day bra. I just wish it didn't have to go on over the head. So continues the neverending bra search....
