My boobs hurt after jogging the day before, so I ordered this. The 42 DDD is true to size for me. No side boobs. Firm and supported. Shockingly, my boobs looked great! This bra lifted and supported me so I was fully supported while jogging.

No underwires! But the lift of push up bras! Sign me up until ...... Ouchy, ouch, ouch 6 hours later.

So this bra does all it's supposed to in term of lift and support. Just don't wear the bra for too long. It does squeeze you in. A few hours later, you will feel the squeeze.

But ahhh. It looks good and feel good when I first put them on.

I have tried so many sports bras that squish and make me look like I am trying to smuggle in a full loaf of bread. The Champion bra is a perfect fit, has the look of a regular bra yet gives the support I need without pinching or binding! Finally, comfort at last!

Was worried due to other reviews, but my experience was great. This product is exactly what I have previously purchased, and the support and design and fit were still the same high quality. It was a sale on a quality product. I am so glad as this is the only sports bra brand that I use for running and high impact aerobics. Even bought 2 hoping for the best and ended up with the best deal! thank you Champion!

So I will preface this review by saying I wear a 38DD in regular bras. I had the chance to try this on at a store, and the band runs tight, so I had to size up to a 40 band which made the DD cup size too big. I ended up ordering a 40D based on the sizes I tried in store. Well, it came in the mail today and I was sent a 40DDD instead of the 40D I ordered. Two whole cup sizes bigger!! I figured what the heck, it's here, let me try it. And low and behold, it fits well! I don't know if the one I tried in store was stretched out in the cups for a DD to be too roomy, but I'm glad they messed up my size. It ended up working in my favor! That is the reason I said it runs small. I ended up in a band and cup size bigger than my regular bra size, but if you can get your size right, this thing is a good one!

I do zumba, hiit workouts and circuit training, so I need things to be supportive and hold me in. Overall, this has really good coverage and feels structured and supportive. I like that the straps are padded and slightly closer set than my normal bras so they won't slide down my shoulders. I love how high this comes up under my arms! I hate having my side boob hang out, and this comes up high enough to prevent that issue without being uncomfortable in the underarm area. I don't usually love hook closures because it makes things uncomfortable to lay down for any exercises, but the coverage makes this great for Zumba and high intensity stuff where I'm not on the ground, so I will use it for those activities. The seams feel sturdy and I don't feel any pokey or itchy spots. So far, I can see this being a good bra to add to my workout gear rotation.

I did not receive any compensation for my review, and I will update if things are not as stated with use. I will also say that the company that fulfilled my order (NY lingerie) was not the greatest. Not only did they send the wrong size, but the packaging was also lacking.

UPDATE: I wore this to Zumba today, and it performed not as well as I would've hoped, so I took off a star. I thought I'd be held in well, but there was still some bounce. But to be fair, I have yet to find a sports bra that completely eliminates the bounce without suffocating me. More annoying then that was the mesh in the front! As soon as I started to sweat, the mesh felt itchy and irritating on my chest! It went away slightly towards the end of my workout, but I'm hoping it softens when I wash it because I can't return it after wearing it. I for sure thought this was the holy grail, but it has a couple flaws. If the mesh softens up, this will still be a good bra worth what I paid for it.

I bought this on a trip because I left my other sports bras at home. I typically use the full support sports bra from a high-end retailer. Well, this one didn't quite measure up to my others, it did serve the purpose, and I will keep it. The price was right, the fit was good, and it was pretty comfortable. I am a 36DD.
