I usually love all the moving comfort products and I had high hopes for this. The material is outstanding and without
an underwire it is super comfortable. I bought 4 - one in each color. Unfortunately on all four that I bought the edges where
the hook meets are super stiff and reinforced. My back is completely scratched up from it rubbing against my skin on a long run.
I'm stuck with them now, but I won't buy them again.

This is the ONLY sports bra I have ever worn that has held my full busted figure in jump squats without bounce.

*CONS*
- You MUST know your true bra size. Basically, you need to have had a professional fitting before ordering this style. There is no "give" in this bra for you to actually be a 38D but think you are a 36DD. I think this may actually be why it works so well.
- Perception of the velcro to adjust straps. It just seemed very odd to me, but they do work.
- Yep, you guessed it, uni-boob.

*PROS*
- Hands down, the best sports bra I have found for high impact aerobics. I have worn it to aerobics class, on the elliptical machine, and weight training. It has kept me firmly in place through all of it, without bounce or jiggle.
- Despite it's excellent performance, it is not as high cut as others so you do not see it under work out clothes.
- It really does wick away sweat. A must in such a fitted bra.

I was thrilled to try this bra as I am a well-endowed runner, and I like the back hooks and shoulder adjustments of this bra. When I first received it, I could barely get it on, it was so tight. However, once I worked out in it and broke a full sweat, the fabric released and overnight the bra stretched out so much it is practically useless. I am very unhappy that I can only use this expensive bra for low-impact activities and yoga now.

If you are so inclined, I would suggest buying a smaller size than normal; however, you won't know if this bra will work for you until after you have used it and can no longer return it. I am very disappointed!

I have purchased a lot of bras over the past year due to several breast cancer surgeries. This has become my favorite. Complete support without underwire. Fits low enough under the breast that it doesn't cause irritation from surgery scars or radiation irritation. I just placed an order for every color that they have...

I originally bought this bra to use as a top for triathlons. As a well-endowed woman, I had no idea what to use to keep me comfortable and would be effective. This bra keeps me so stationary, its like I'm not even moving. The fabric works well in the water, and then, is comfortable for the rest of the race. After being totally pleased with the results, I went and bought 2 more just to have extras. There isn't much, if any, give in the fabric, so it really has to fit you well to be comfortable. Luckily, I am pleased with mine.

I own two other Moving Comfort bras so I wanted to try a different style. The Helena Bra feels like I am in a wet suit. As a 34D I have difficulty finding a large enough cup that is tight enough around the shoulders and back. This bra does the job but I look like a Madonna video from the mid-90's. It works for general floor and mat work but very uncomfortable when I run. I will go back to the other Moving Comfort style for my next purchase.

Great Color, Wrong Size!! I ordered it a little too small, because the color that I really wanted wasnt available in my size. It appears well constructed, and the cornflower is a nice color, but I was never able to reoder, because the company is slow on getting the right size and color!

I will be returning this bra. The straps are weird. They adjust with velcro and the cups aren't formed well. I did like how wide the band is. But doesn't create a good shape and the straps are just worthless.

I love this bra. I bought it directly through moving comfort and have no complaints. I've run about 15 miles in it so far and haven't thought about the bra once during a run. If you have a larger chest, you probably what it's like to be distracted by that or a bad bra during a workout.

I would have given it 5 stars but I love the moving comfort helena bra. This bra doesnt give as much "coverage", but I only notice when I run in the rain/cold. Also, I'm not sure if I like the shape it gives my body as much as I like the shape of the Helena.

To start, this is the best brand I've ever found for a sports bra. The support is out of this world. I can actually full out run and not suffer pain or embarrassment, thank goodness.

I bought this bra after I could hardly read the tag on my other moving comfort, they are different styles but they hold just as well. The only problem is that I ordered my exact size and the band was a little more loose than I would like, but not enough to exchange it. It is still just as effective as I would expect from this brand.

This is great for soccer players and runners.
