Anita Women's Momentum Sport Bra

In the mid 1980's, there were plenty of super comfortable, wonderfully supportive, well made bras with NO underwire available for purchase at a reasonable price. I had a favorite one that I bought at a local upscale department store - super cute, never chafed, never made my boobs look like floating bowls of jiggly pudding. Then, through the last half of the 80's and through the 90's, the trend for push-up bras with tortuous underwires began to appear. Soon, the comfy, nice looking, ones that make boobs look normal vanished or became so poorly made they literally fell apart in short order. I was a slim young woman back then, now, I am in the process of losing a bunch of weight. I love to exercise, but most sports bras just won't accommodate my 44D measurements, and I certainly can't use some "fluffy" push-up, balconette bra with a wire digging into my chest and arm pits while I'm working out!Undaunted, I began a relentless search for a nice looking, comfortable, well made, reasonably priced sport/workout type bra in my size that didn't look like a high necked, armored chest shield for a Valkyrie! I spotted this one here on Amazon and after reading the numerous positive comments, and considering the high ratio of good/over negative feedbacks, I took the plunge and bought one. I chose black. I'm wearing it right now. My tits feel like they've died and gone to heaven or at least transported back in time to those super comfy bras of yore! NO chafing, dramatically reduced bounce, strong, super comfortable bands all 'round, pretty style and fabric, low enough neck so it doesn't stick way up above a tank top, overall - fits like a "boob glove". I am so happy with this bra that I ran right back and bought another one in the 'desert sand' color. I haven't worked out hard in it yet, but judging by what I've experienced so far, I'm not worried.

I'm a 30DD and this sports bra straps me in tight and prevents bouncing while I run. It's comfortable, sturdy and long-lasting. I didn't have to move to the second set of clasps until well after a year of owning it. It also doesn't cause uni-boob, which is so nice in a sports bra.The bands do seem to run small, though, so you might want to size up there, especially if you like to wear sports bras for regular wear outside of exercising as this is meant for high intensity so it's tight. It also isn't padded, which I personally prefer, but does mean it's obvious when I'm cold.

I am always on the lookout for a wire-free option in a bra with extended cup sizes. This one had great reviews, so I splurged and ordered it, choosing a size according to Anita's size chart. I have rated this bra in several categories with stars for each one.1) Comfort -- I would give this 10 stars if I could. This is the most comfortable bra I have worn in years that still provides decent support. I forget I am wearing it, and I think I could sleep in it if I had to. Very, very comfortable.2) Quality of construction -- 2.5 stars. I've had this less than two months and worn it about three days a week. The elastic bands have already started to ripple in places, which should not be happening. My other complaint is that the slides that adjust the straps simply don't stay put. I often have to readjust them partway through the day, and certainly before each time I wear it. Somewhat disappointing in a bra this expensive.3) Appearance -- 3 stars. It is a plain looking bra. It is not ugly, but it is certainly not pretty, either. My biggest complaint here is that it does give a bit of the uniboob look. Sadly, that is probably unavoidable in a wire-free bra.4) Support for sports -- 3 stars. I wear this for low-impact sports, but it does not provide enough support for high-impact activities.5) Support for everyday wear -- 5 stars. This has become my favorite bra for daily wear, and it provides good support for bike-riding, walking, and general low-impact activities.6) Fit - 4 stars. I found that the bra in my size (by measurement) has cups that are a teeny bit small and a band that is a little bit big. I have to wear it on the tightest hook.I think this is probably a great sports bra for most, but once you get beyond the D cups, it is probably better for daily wear than for most athletic activities. This is my favorite bra, but my search for a great sports bra will continue.

i have bought my size before but it seems way tighter than the others of the same size. I even got a tape measure out to measure it against one of my others that is not tight. Not sure why it is so uncomfortable. I have worn it too much to feel that I can return it. So maybe I should try and stretch it for a bit. Maybe I gained a little weight or something and the others are stretched out. So I wear this bra because I had breast cancer and it was suggested and sold by a garment shop for cancer patients. This type of compression is needed sometimes for cancer patients and this company is highly recommended by these type of garment shops. I had all of my lymph nodes removed under my arm due to the breast cancer. So I was battling lymphedema. The compression from this garment helped keep the fluid from going into my arm as much and has greatly helped reduce the size of my arm on a regular basis. It is a great product. I just think every once in a while that size you wear just may be a little off. I love this product all in all and will buy it again. They have other nice versions too for cancer patients who need maximum compression.

This bra is wireless, but at the same time, very supportive and separates the breast rather than pushes them together. There are wide straps that are adjustable that Lift and support comfortably.
