This is the best selling sports bra for large cup sizes. I wear a 34 HH/J in most bras. Their 36HH unlined underwire sports bra is a great fit in cup shape. If it came in a J, it would be perfect!This 36 HH was far too big in the cup. I have pendulous breasts due to rapid weight loss. One is also significantly smaller. My larger breast couldn’t begin to fill the upper cup, though the main body is great. My smaller breast was swimming in the cup. This bra is well made, but not for pendulous breasts.

So just to start, this is the best sports bra I’ve found so far for running. Been trying a number — I like this better than the shock absorber bras as well. Panache is what I wear the most of so I got my usual UK size, as well as a cup size up from another retailer. I found the racer back to be rather straining on the neck/shoulders in the size up — like there isn’t enough length/adjustability on the straps. Actually, there isn’t— I couldn’t even do up the racer back without wanting to rip it off on my normal size, however the bra for the most part fits like a dream and is very firm/secure. I am a 30E UK so, while not the smallest chest, I can get away feeling secure in this sports bra without doing up the back. Again, the cups themselves are structured and firm and ... MoreSo just to start, this is the best sports bra I’ve found so far for running.

The band fits great and the gore tacks. In both sizes I unfortunately have “fat” bulging at the armpit that wouldn’t exist otherwise — I think it’s just the cut — but no one (including me) will know while I’m moving about and with a shirt, so whatever. It hold the girls well and is very comfortable. My last gripe is that one of my arms chafes while running on the seams — but I have been trying to focus on holding my arm out better; otherwise I’ll try and put a bit of tape on it, or a bandaid for when I run in the future. While I wish that I could do up the back, that it didn’t rub my arm, and that it looked more sightly at the underarms, this is still hands down the best I’ve tried yet! Wonderfully comfortable. Go with your usual UK size. I am fairly projected, for reference, and am not necessarily close-set, but I am center full, with even fullness— maybe a hair more full on top. I hope this helps, and thank you bare necessities for a decent price!

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’m a hard fit. Should have bought a bigger cup size, but I’m used to this, so it works. The underwire is uncomfortable in some positions and activities - it almost gets in the way at times. The bra is very supportive and the straps are quite comfortable, which is nice for a change. The padding is a bit thick and hot. The style makes a bit of a “pointy boob” shape. Not too bad. What do I expect? Maybe I’m just too hard to fit, too big of boobs which are disproportionate to the rest of my body (natural, I dislike them but just deal with them). I will definitely keep and wear the bra. I’m not going to jog in it, but I’ll wear it for most other activities.
I found these bras several years back and they ended my ongoing search for the perfect sports bra! I am a 32G (UK) and I hate any bouncing when I'm working out. This bra does the job superbly without being uncomfortable. They are fantastic quality - and have lasted me several years being put through the washing machine up to twice a week. I air dry them and they still feel as good as when I first got them. I like the bright colours and they provide enough coverage that you could comfortably forego any other top if you wanted to.
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 actually purchased this bra as an everyday bra. I am a 59 year old woman who lost 50 pounds since the start of the pandemic and have had no problem keeping that weight off.I went from a 38GG down to a 36DD, but the elasticity in my skin has not been very cooperative, and I've found that DD just don't have the thick straps that you are afforded in the larger sizes. So after trying many different bra styles since my weight loss, I decided to give this one a try. It works perfect for what I need, because it actually has my torso helping to hold up the girls, instead of just a wire and a couple of straps. I think this bra is absolutely perfect in every way for what I need from a bra and if anyone else if dealing with these particular issues, go for it, buy this bra ... MoreI actually purchased this bra as an everyday bra.

If you just need a great sports bra, this will definitely give the girls the lift and support you're looking for and will keep everything intact while you do your favorite workout.
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.

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.
