I couldn't believe it when I tried this sports bra again. I need lots of support—I do high-impact, explosive cardio, and I'm a J/K in American sizes (H in UK), and this bra does the trick all by itself! I'd gotten used to doubling up two $70 wireless bras (Anita Extreme Control) just to get the support I need without an underwire, but this bra is magic! NOTE: These are in UK sizes. Be sure you know your size or be ready to try and return. UK sizes are more consistent in larger cup sizes, so once you find your size, it won't vary much like it probably does in US brands (my experience, at least). I'm relieved that they finally added some nice colors. When I tried it again in the gorgeous purple with coral accents and liked it, I remembered that I tried it before in the gray. The bra had worked fine, I'd determined, but the color was so UGLY that I couldn't bear to wear it. It was a depressing, discouraging, ugly gray. Even the patterned gray was unbearable. So, yay, Panache, for fixing the problem and adding color! I bought this in four sizes (I'm losing weight), to make sure I won't run out of the gorgeous purple. I also bought Cobalt (blue and black) and considered Navy Multi, but these suffer from color-downplay (black straps mean you don't see color on the Cobalt as often as you might like; mostly dark navy on the Navy Multi really takes away from the gorgeous straps). So, give me more gorgeous colors and patterns that have two nice colors like the Purple/Coral or a multi-colored pattern, and I'll buy a new exercise wardrobe from you, Panache! PROS Amazing support; the best I've found for non-wired H-cup Amazing colors (if they still have them) Strong band doesn't stretch or roll Good shape—none of that "uniboob" problem Doesn't lose shape, shrink, or stretch when washed in a lingerie bag on delicate in the washing machine (hang dry) Often excellent price; I save $10-$30 over my last sports bra! CONS Straps are a little too narrow; they do leave marks on my shoulders Straps stretch a little and give a bit, causing some bounce they could've easily corrected with better straps Clasps on the band are a bit too weak—after just a few weeks, they've started to pull loose a bit Basic colors are boring or ugly (I will never buy a 1-color sports bra—how boring! And the grays are ugly) Bulkier than unpadded non-wired bras—takes up six times as much space as my Anita Extreme Control (my old go-to) In short, I definitely recommend this sports bra if you've been struggling to find high-impact support for bigger cup sizes. Buy and leap for joy! :)
