Finally! A sports bra for larger busted women that WORKS! I've been searching and searching for a sports bra to keep the bounce to a minimum. I'm a 36DD and this is the first sports bra that I can run in without pain. Be warned...it's a squeezer, but once you are in it they don't move much.

Check around for the best price. I got mine on e-bay.

OK, so Oprah recommended this bra - you might have heard. (Particularly if you visit Enell's website.) But there's a very good reason. As a sports bra, this bra is completely perfect - it has eye hooks all the way up the front, and while you may feel a bit at first like you're wearing a chest girdle, I can honestly say I've never enjoyed high-impact activities (running, aerobics) as much as I do now - precisely because it was so uncomfortable in the past. The bra will feel tight at first, particularly around the ribs - but trust me, if you get the right size for yourself, and you follow their instructions for putting it on, you'll be amazed at what you can comfortably do!

I bought my Enell about 4 months ago and it's been fantastic! I can't say enough good things about it. I used to have to wear 2 sports bras and even then I bounced and it HURT!

They do run very tight, but that's good because they get looser as you're exercising. At first I thought mine didn't fit because I was so squeezed in, but that just means that it fits perfectly. I can't say enough good about this bra.

One down side? Mine has no wear, but I need a new one. It's made it so much easier for me to exercise I've lost enough weight to need the next size down.

I never heard of this bra until a woman at my gym recommended it. She had seen it on Oprah. It is super supportive, but has its drawbacks. The first time I put it on, it was SO tight that I could hardly breathe. I wore it to the gym and when I got home, I had a red spot where the bottom hook closures had been digging into my skin. Even though I can tell it loosened up a bit with wear, I still come home with that red spot every time I wear it. The support is almost not worth the discomfort. My feeling is that there is not enough fabric under the hooks to protect the skin. The strip of fabric just needs to be a bit wider than the 1/4 inch that is there. Or maybe, in this day and age, we could find something more advanced than the hook and eye closure..which is essentially Amish technology.
The other major drawback is the look. It doesn't look "sporty", it looks orthopedic, so you don't want it to show at all under gym clothes. The hook and eye closures also make an unsightly ridge down the front that is visible under t-shirts.
In short, if you want an ugly, uncomfortable, ultra-supportive bra, this is for you.

Finally. I've tried so many sports bras since my chest bloomed cantaloupes, I've lost count. This is the one. I will never, ever buy another brand / model of sports bra.

Be advised, getting into it the first time will be a struggle. Do the bottom-most hook and eye first, then position the breasts into the cups, then continue. There's no other way to do it. This is a TIGHT bra. It has to be, to immobilize comfortably.

If this bra had been available when I was in High School, I might have actually learned to enjoy sports--and I might have ended up a lot less klutzy.

And I'm wearing it to work as a minimizer today.

This bra is really great for larger breasts. I sometimes wear it to work because of how comfortable the straps are. It doesn't dig into my shoulders like some of my regular bras do. The bra is also really good for exercise as well, eliminates the painful bouncing. You won't be disappointed!

I didn't want to pay over $50 for a sports bra, but I really wanted a good product and the reviews promised that. So I shelled out the dough for one and they were right! It fits snug so there's no unwanted bouncing and it also prevents uni-boob. I ordered a different sports bra from Champion and this is by far my favorite of the two. The Champion one pushed my boobs in so much it made that ugly boob bump above the bra line that's visible in light t-shirts - ew - and they're supposed to be the same bra size so go figure. More positives: this one also fastens securely (just start from the bottom and work your way up, it will fit!) and is super, super comfortable. I do wish the price were less so I could buy a second, but I'll have to put that in my budget. Nevertheless, as a wannabe runner with a large chest, it was worth the investment in comfort and security.

This bra is great, especially for larger woman. When I use this bra I don't move or bounce at all. Before I was having to use two bras (even when using one of Champions best). I purchased one (because they are pricey), but soon after purchased another because I didn't want to use anything else. This is well worth the money.

This bra is so suportive and comfortable that, once accustomed to it, you won't want to ever wear a regular bra again. It really lifts things where they should be and improves the fit of clothing. My blouses no long gap at the buttons. Also is nice and smooth under tees and sweaters. The hooks do not stick out as often happens in front hook bras and are totally unnoticeable even under snug clothing. I'll never buy another bra again.
