Really Nice Bra, January 18, 2011
This review is from: Moving Comfort Women's Helena Bra (Apparel)
I must say although some of the reviews here speak ill of this bra I have no probs with it. First of all it's a sports bra, not a Victoria's Secret push-up....boob separation is not necessary, when it's supposed to be combating jiggle.
I should also mention that I ordered on cup size smaller: I'm a 34D and I ordered the 34C. I did this for extra compression because I hate the jiggle when doing cardio/running.
Pros:
-The bra band fits snug enough and does not bite.
-Even with a cup size down the bra is not tight. I can breathe properly without the feeling of suffocation
-Adjustable straps (these are a heaven sent). Adjusting too tight will cause the straps to dig into the shoulder.
-No underwire and the girls stay in place.
-Overall it's really comfortable. I jumped up and down like rabbit and had no problems at all
-Back closure...need I say more
-Wider strap placement. Let's face it, if you have big boobs racer back styles do not cut it where support is concerned. Because these straps are placed more like those on a regular bra they offer more support.
Con:
-There is still some amount of jiggle, not too much to be uncomfortable though.
-Doesn't wick sweat away easily..prepare to stay wet
The Fiona is similar but offers more compression and no jiggle /much less jiggle than with the Helena. I do recommend ordering a cup size smaller for more compression

Good support but little to no boob separation, September 19, 2010
Read the title for my review - it says a lot. I'm short too, so have to adjust the straps up on every bra I ever get. With this one, you can adjust them up (has velcro which is nice), but it quickly gets to the point where the straps are too wide to fit thru the holes. So this bra stays in the drawer most of the time.

Amazing Support, October 25, 2010
This sports bra is wonderful. It keeps the girls separate and front and center instead of squished to my chest like regular sports bras. The straps are so comfy and wide. And best of all--VERY little bounce! My only caveat is the lack of support on the sides. Flesh in that area is a bit more obvious. Wouldn't be on someone smaller than a size 16, I'm sure. And, it's not enough to make me regret the purchase by any means. It really is very comfortable, doesn't restrict anywhere.
