I have done 5k, 10k and a Hyrox (8k with functional workouts) in this bra and it has not aggravated my skin at all.

I thought I’d try an encapsulation style bra, I had been using very tight sports yoga tops but wanted to start running and increase intensity.

God bless Bravissimo and their experienced fitters! Got me back to running! No headaches as no pressure on traps.

This is my second time purchasing this bra, and every time I wear it, I remind myself to hop on here to review it because I love it so much! I’m in my 40s and have nursed three kiddos over the past seven years, so deflated flapjacks is my present situation, and I’m considering surgical correction someday. Enter this bra. Every time I wear it I feel like a new woman, brimming with confidence and enjoying the bustline of my youth. Excellent support for exercise (running, aerobics, dance) and easy to wear under regular clothing for everyday casual wear since I am home with those three cute boobie-busting kids. My bustline looks lifted where it used to be, neat, and makes me feel very confident. Cheaper than surgery! I wear a 32/34 DDD in most bras and take the same in ... MoreThis is my second time purchasing this bra, and every time I wear it, I remind myself to hop on here to review it because I love it so much!

The band on this bra is tight but rather than sizing up, I use an extender knowing that bra bands loosen up with time. Excellent value at full price and even better if you score one on sale.

I bought one of these a while ago for running. It's amazing. No movement at all and it's comfortable, not too hot and adjustable to be a perfect fit. It's so good I bought another one recently. It does say hand wash only, but I've found it is fine if you put it in a laundry bag in the machine on a 30 degree wash thankfully and no damage. really good product, I'd highly recommend. I'm a 32DD and it absolutely stops anything moving when I run. The one thing I'm not so keen on with the black version (my first was the grey one) is that it's made of more artificial material where the grey one is cotton mix, which feels a bit better, but I've not had any issues with either really.

I’ve been looking for a supportive running bra that’s comfortable for years and years. Literally. Years. This panache bra is utterly amazing and I am so happy I’ve found it because I’m going to buy more!! So comfortable, keeps the girls in place when I run. Absolutely love the hook at the back to make the straps like a cross. It’s so easy to reach back when it’s on and put the hook in place or take it out. I find it’s much more supportive with the hook in place for running and then I un hook myself as soon as I’ve finished the run. It’s also a really attractive bra and quite flattering. I’m just so happy with it!!! Thank you panache!
I have been wearing these bras as my everyday bra for >10 years. I find it really comfortable and it looks good under t-shirts. The gel padding on the underwire makes a big difference to comfort.I don't use it for sports as I find it too warm for that, but I never notice uncomfortable movement when I run down stairs or after buses etc. like I do when I'm wearing a regular (non-sports) bra, so I'd guess it would be suitable for at least low and medium impact sports if having thick moulded cups doesn't bother you.The moulded cups are fairly unyielding and cover the entire breast, which suits me for an everyday bra, but I imagine it might not be ideal if your breasts are very different sizes or fluctuate a large amount over the month. I'd estimate that my breasts ... MoreI have been wearing these bras as my everyday bra for >10 years. I find it really comfortable and it looks good under t-shirts.

I'd estimate that my breasts generally vary by just over half a cup size over the month, occasionally almost a full cup size, and I find it's fine unless I have a month when they change size more than usual. My breasts are maybe half a cup size different from each other and if I go looking then I can see that the fit is slightly different for each when wearing this bra, but it's still comfortable and doesn't bother me.They last really well if you only handwash them. I usually start machine washing them once they are a bit old and have been replaced with a new one/demoted to "house bra" status, and they deteriorate noticeably faster after that.I can't be certain about relative cup sizing as I have mainly been wearing this bra for years - I occasionally require a cup size higher in other bras (usually sports bras I actually wear for sports or bras for occasionwear), but usually the bra size I wear for this bra is a good guide for other bras. My underbust is 29 inches and a 30 back size fits me well. For a time my underbust was just under 28 inches and at that time a 28 back size fit well, but once my underbust measurement was back over 28.5 inches it started to feel too tight, so would not recommend sizing down in the back.
This is my new favorite bra! I’m big boobs small back. My size is sooo hard to find. This is a sports bra which means it’s tight but fits comfortably and smoothly… just what bigger chested gals need! I’m going to use it as an everyday bra. Sometimes bigger chested women really need the firm support of a sports bra — all the time! I’m so pleased. This bra is literally an answer to my prayer. And it fits very snugly on my first fitting on the first set of hooks, usually it’s the last. I’ve actually had to alter bras for years to fit me. This one is perfect right out of the bag! Im 5’7” ish and a 30ff. Thank you bare necessities!!! This bra is a blessing!
I love this bra and have been buying this style for several years. They wear well, especially if you are careful with washing them. I would always have said they were true to size but I recently purchased two new bras to replace some older ones that are starting to wear out, are they making them slightly smaller than they used to? I thought maybe I had got bigger (and my old ones were stretched out to fit) but when comparing my new bra with the old one of the same size, the new one was definitely smaller in the cup. I generally fluctuate between a 30FF and 30G in this style, most of the time in the FF but go up to the G just before my period is due, but I found the FF cup one a tad too small this time. I haven't returned it as it's expensive to post returns from NZ, ... MoreI love this bra and have been buying this style for several years.

I am so confused by these positive reviews that say this bra is supportive. As a person with a fairly large bust (36F/G, depending on brand/style), I have never in my almost 40 years found a sports bra that provided an adequate level of support; I have always layered multiple sports bras to keep the girls from bouncing too much. So I was very encouraged and excited to see all these reviews of women who say this is a supportive sports bra on its own. I chatted with a fit expert to make sure I got the right size, as I have never ordered from this brand, and it fits okay, it's just... as supportive, maybe even less, as my regular everyday bra. Which is to say it does not do anything to prevent bounce. The fit expert did say to get a 38E rather than my usual 36 F/G, but ... MoreI am so confused by these positive reviews that say this bra is supportive.

This trussed me up like a Christmas turkey so good for high impact use. I returned it because it is too thick and padded in synthetic fabric and I think it will be too hot and sweaty and uncomfortable to wear on a run. I have a lovely cotton mixed breathable sports bra which gives me plenty of support seems to have been discontinued, so I’m trying to find something to replace it before it falls apart. I will keep looking and hoping. It was also way too big on the band side. Since I last brought a bra over five years ago, it seems that bra sizing has changed so just a warning to anyone else buying bras. You will have to buy a smaller backside to get it to fit you. This was too big.
I am an avid runner. After many recommendations for this sports bra, I decided to give it a try. On their website, they suggested I try a different size based on the daily brand bra I wear (Third Love) and size. After a week, it came in. I tried it on and was disappointed it did not fit. Looking back I wish I didn't go with their recommendation for my size and instead stick with what I normally wear. However, even if it did fit, I didn't feel it was very supportive. There was too much movement still and the cut was too low for running. The Pro though is they do seem as if they are good quality in how they are made and the fabric.
