Hold Still! - YouLookFab Forum

It would be nice if, when I move, the "girls" would stay with me, instead of doing some sort of Martha Graham modern dance on my rib cage while I'm on the plyo box.

My sport bras are hopelessly worn out. When Angie started soliciting forum input on the subject, I was ready at my computer!

I just received my Moving Comfort Fiona bra from Zappos. Following reviews, I stayed with my usual band size, but I went with the larger of the two cup sizes that usually work for me. I wanted more coverage in the gym, so I wouldn't have to worry if my tops (which I like rather drapey now) gape a bit when I'm doing deadlifts or push ups.

I'm getting ready to test drive the "holding capacity" and wicking properties when I go do my workout this afternoon, but the fit is perfect -- secure, but not too tight. The fabric is softer than I expected, which is nice, and, while not padded, it is double layered. This bra is also easy to get on and off. I was attracted to this model partly because it has adjustable straps, but I found the "default position" is perfect for me.

I suspect I'll be duplicating in a fun color --- this time I chose basic black.

Since you now know your size, you might be able to find it at a lower price from another vendor. I think I got my well-priced Fiona from a place in Maryland that mostly sells sports equipment like tennis racquets. I wear an unusual size, so I had to settle for white, however.

"holding capacity" - lol!

OK -- reporting back after trial "run," in this case, literally.

This bra is the most comfortable sports bra I've ever had. It's soft, provides cleavage-coverage, and provides enough support that I had virtually no movement while running and jumping. There is a bit of a "minimizer" effect, and the coverage in the back and armpit is comfortable, but complete. This makes it a winner in my book.

Now, it is moderately uni-boob, which isn't ideal, but isn't a deal breaker, especially separation often comes with cleavage, which makes me have to be more cautious in choosing and fitting my tops. There is also a very faint nippage issue. I get this a lot. My mom used to call me "Farrah" (remember the red bathing suit poster?). I have these little petal inserts that I can stitch or iron into my bras --- so much better than getting true padding. Lastly, the adjustable straps are a bit bulky under thin exercise tops. If you're petite, this might bother you more.

I'm in between band sizes, but I usually go up, rather than down. I'm already on the middle closure, so I hope the band doesn't stretch out. I often have difficulty finding cups that are more broadly rounded, rather than deep. This bra is excellent in it's fit, so if you're wide-chested or broad in the rib cage, this might be great for you.

Now to the shower!
