Moving Comfort Fiona Sports bra - anyone?

I'm looking for another sports bra. Nothing fancy. Just needs to let me get out there and run. I've found a Fiona by Moving Comfort for $15. Right now I have a basic size small Speedo and a Nike Strength. I'm not well endowed, so I don't need armor lol. thanks for any recs or reviews if anyone's tried it before

Mary, do you happen to know sizing. I'm between sizes and wonder if I should go up or go down. I was thinking down?

It's my favorite! I take my regular bra size. I don't think I'd want to size down on the band. It's quite snug. Cup could go either way depending on how much compression you want.

PS - WAs curious so I just went and compared my old one (2 years of at least once a week wear) to a new one (bought last month) and it seems like it has barely stretched out AT ALL. Impressive! Makes sense as I am still wearing the old one on the loosest set of hooks. There are 3 sets of hooks so even if it's a little big you should be able to adjust.

Thx Diana! I was going to go with 30 band. Just wondering between D or DD cup (being 34.5" bust puts me always in between argh).

Great bra! After a year or probably two, I am going to the next set of hooks. Mine is 32DD which is my usual size in a 32 band. I would get the get whichever cup size you would be in a 30. The bra results in a bit of uni-boob which I guess is typical in sports bras. It is very comfortable.

Mo- I wear this one. I got a 32 band because it was the smallest I could get here in Canada on a big sale. (I normally wear a 30). So I ordered the B/C cup (that's how it was advertised here). I'm quite small chested, as you know, but usually 30 C or D, depending on brand, and this in the 32 B/C works fine for me. I can't wear it on the loosest setting but can wear it on the middle one. And, as Diana says, it feels quite sturdy and not at all stretchy-saggy.

Ideally (and in future) I will get my regular size, but in the meantime, this is a good substitute. It's very well made. Much better than my previous sports bras. Oh, and bonus, it actually fastens at the back!! Back fasteners on small sports bras are a near miracle. I don't know if those people think we don't sweat or what. But honestly, trying to wrest a sports bra over my head is NOT my idea of fun. So this is a huge improvement.

Suz, I HATE pulling wet bras over my head. I won't. I seek out back closures. I spied a 30C (thought of you) for $15 as well. eBay so I don't know about Canada shipping.
I am wearing a 32C in the Nike on it's tightest hook (and my normal bras I often 'make do' with that size when I can't find 30's)

Ha, Suz, you are so right about the back fasteners being a godsend. I still remember getting stuck in a sports bra in the fitting room at City Sports!

I do actually have another Moving Comfort bra (a Juno, I think) that is actually more supportive (not that my C cup really needs it) but has no back hooks, so I feel like I'm always going to dislocate a shoulder taking it off. FWIW, I put the Fiona on over my head (with the hooks already done up) but I unhook them to take it off.

My one tiny quibble with the Fiona is that the shoulder straps are adjustable with velcro, so you have to be careful to line up the velcro just right, otherwise it scratches. But the velcro is very sturdy - I've never, ever had the velcro come unstuck, not even in the wash.

that is a great deal. I just bought up 3 of them so probably don't need one now, though. But thank you for the tip! Obviously I should check ebay for this in future. Now that I know they work for me.

I hope it works for you!!

Okay, I'm going in . . . for a 30D with fingers crossed. 2 sports bras is just not enough now that I'm training for a 10K and the summer heat is soon approaching!
thanks for the input ladies - it's SO helpful!

Edit: it is returnable, and ships from here in FL. If I love it, I'm going for the purple berry color next (naturally! ;))
