I have used this bra for the last four years for running. My bra size ranges (depending upon pregnancy and nursing) from a 36DD to 38G. This is the only bra I can run with. There is no bounce.

I love this sports bra! I have four of them. It's hard to imagine getting excited about a sports bra, but I'm a big girl with large breasts that loves to work out. Most sports bras just don't hold "my girls" still. It can be painful and distracting for them to be bouncing around. Most "motion control" sports bras work ok as long as I'm not working out very vigorously. This one works no matter what I'm doing...running, jumping on a trampoline, step class or yoga.

It's sort of a cross between a corset and a harness. There are about 15 hook and eyes to hitch up the front. The fit is very snug and it presses your breasts flat against your chest to keep them from moving around. The back is solid and the straps are very wide, so they don't move around or dig into your shoulders. There are large seams that run across the center of the chest that will show through if you're wearing a tight fitting shirt. It's not sexy. It's functional. And it works really well. I highly recommend it for any active full-figured woman.

I've heard so many reviews from other big chested women that this was the answer to no bouncing. Well, not for me. I measured carefully and was between 2 sizes. I ordered the bigger since it was half off, but it doesn't do much for me. It's comfortable enough to wear as an everyday bra though. I then ordered the next size down and when I put it on thought it would be the bounce solution -- still not. It helps a lot, but frankly the straps are too long and are the problem. If the straps were adjustable this thing would be perfect. I this just isn't made for girls that are shorter. This is still by far the best sports bra I've ever tried, but it just isn't doing what it promised. I'm going to try 'hemming' up the straps a couple inches to see if I can get something I can actually run and jump in.

About a year ago I started doing Dance Dance Revolution(A dancing game for playstation 2) for weight loss. (lost 50 pounds) I did have one problem however, I've never been able to do any kind of aerobics or running because my 44DD would flop around and kill whatever bra I was wearing. I had began wearing TWO sports bra's which helped but it still wasn't exactly what I had hoped for.

I saw a review for Enell and how Oprah swears by it. Well that was enough for me to research it and though it was pricey, I decided to give it a shot. I was very skeptical and I found a store 40 miles (This is how bad I wanted a good bra) away from me. I gassed up the car and went in person. I wanted to try it on for myself over ordering. I didn't quite know what size I wore, I thought I wore a 2 and while I could get it hooked up the front, I could barely breath and I knew it would drive me nuts. I changed out and went to a 3 perfect! If you ever wanted the wonder woman [...] that stayed straight ahead while you turned left or right, this is your bra.

Enell is made from a soft material that feels almost like satin against your skin. It isn't a sexy bra by any means of the wor but it gets the job done. I can run, I can jump and my hand never gets the urge to grab my bust to hold it in place as it did with my old bras. Enell is worth every cent, I just in fact ordered my second bra.

The one negative I can tell you is that it holds your bust together so tightly that you tend to sweat between your cleavage and this can lead to chafing. I usually take it off once I'm done exercising. If you want it for everyday, maybe go a size larger to avoid that problem.

One more thing the Enell does, it holds you in so well it looks as if your bust is about 2 inches smaller. I've been able to get into once to small shirts after putting on this bra. As a sports bra, it can't be beat.

I wear a large bra size (46 DDD), and have found that it's nearly impossible to find a good sports bra in my size. Thank goodness I finally discovered Enell. Not only do Enell's bras come in my size, but the bra actually does what Enell says it will do. I experience minimal bounce, and most importantly, my breasts do not spill out of the top of the bra. I got so sick of adjusting my boobs between reps at the gym! Enell put an end to that embarrassment. My Enell bra is the most comfortable bra I have ever owned--sports bra or otherwise. In addition, I've had it for more than a year now, and it is only experiencing minimal wear (some mild pilling, but it still supports me just as well as it did when it was new). Good fit, wears well, and it's comfortable too! You just can't go wrong with this bra. :)

I wear a very large bra size, and have been wanting to remain active but couldn't find a sports bra. If you can 'hold a pencil' this bra is for you. Now I am ready to run and play with my kids, maybe even get back into horseback riding. Can be a little tricky to get on the first few times, but well worth the effort

I am a 38D equestrian that has always had "bounce" problems. This bra is the answer. No bounce, ever. Not pretty, not easy to get into and out of, but NO BOUNCE EVER. I'll buy more when I need them.

I have searched high n low...worn two bras...made my own....almost did a breast surgery...then finally met Enell through reading an article on Oprah and something or the other.What caught my attention was that it was being advertised for the very big, small or average.
Well i got myself to Amazon( coz they have never failed me in fifteen years despite living so far away, your packages always reach me in good time.
Listen if you are searching and as big as I am ...i mean really 44L then go for Enell and dont look anywhere else.they have changed my whole life in the mornings, i look forward to wearing my clothes again.

Thank you, for putting sunshine back into our lives. the reviews that are disapproving of this bra are just the nay sayers of this world who have not suffered trauma as a result of being big breasted.

I have bought two and was just stopping by to buy another two.Thank you

Not at all what I expected. Background info. Chesty 36 DD, looking for a good sprots bra.

Thought from all the reviews it would be a GREAT product, but that is just not the case.

First it is extremely hard to get into. I thought that may be OK if it worked. There are no less than 25 front hooks and since the bra needs to be so tight you really can't pull the bra closed to hook it.

So off to the 2nd option of hooking all the hooks and then pulling it over my head...well this worked for getting the bra on. I was amazed at how tight the bra was, but figured hey the tighter the better nothing will move!

Again, just not the case. I found that my ratty champion sports bra did a MUCH better job. I was hopeful even with the unattractive "uniboob" look that it would work. At this stage of the game I am function over form.

In a nutshell, the bra is overpriced, hard to get into, does not stop movement and has a disctinct uniboob look. You could even see the top of the bra peaking out from my shirt.

Just all around uncomforable and not worth it.

The search goes on...........

This is undoubtedly the most uncomfortable garment I have ever worn. On the
other hand, it keeps the big girls in place when I jog and that's no easy task.
Will keep using it while searching for the bra that can do the latter yet still be comfortable!
