Having spent 15 years wearing 2 bras in order to participate in any sporting activity, I assumed I had no other option.  I started running last year, and as my mileage has increased, my go-to bras had started to wear out.

So, I've spent the past couple of months searching for a better option.  I had tried several from Amazon (highly rated sports bras that absolutely did *not* work for me...always grateful for Amazon's return policy) and this past weekend ended up at a fancy sporting store to try on bras.  I tried on everything they had in my size (38D) and found this to be the only one that controlled the bounce and was comfortable.

I came home to order online, as Amazon's price was about 1/2 that of the store.  Since I knew what size to order, it eliminated the guesswork.  I got the bra today, and just went out on a 3 mile run.  I must say that I am absolutely very pleased.  I only wore one bra (for the first time *ever* while running) and had better bounce control than my previous 2-bra system.  I noticed a distinct difference.  (Amazing, really.)

So I am back to buy another in a different color so I can alternate throughout the week.

A few observations...when I tried it on at the store, I got a little panicked and claustrophobic, and was convinced they were going to have to cut me out of it.  I'm really not a big fan of putting the bra on over my head.  But, I had no problems clasping the back hooks.  And putting the bra on at home was not nearly as bad.  The straps cut a little close to the neck, and I was worried this would be a problem.  I loosened them a little before the run, however, and it seemed to eliminate the problem.  I do miss the underwire (my preference) but it wasn't as much of a uni-b00b as I had expected.

I guess the bra may not work for everyone, and it is probably very helpful to try it on in the store to get correct sizing.  But otherwise, I highly recommend giving this one a try.
