Ordered this in my regular size 36DDD and fit like a dream. The material is very soft. Makes me look forward to looking out again! Construction is very solid. I was really impressed by it.

I was hesitate to spend so much money on a bra, but decent sports bras are all in this price range on the market. After reading the comments, I decided to give it a try. I ended having four of them in nude color, and I will buy more in other color in the summer. I love this bra so much that not only for sports, I also wear it everyday. I'm 5'2, 147lb, I normally wear 36/38 C/D, depends on the bra. Because I'm short, I can't wear any bra without fully adjustable stripes. When the band size is 38, the strips are too far apart, they start to fall off my shoulders. I don't have those problem with this bra. I do HIIT and dancing, this bra holds my chest in place, no bouncing or jiggling at all. It's so comfortable that I forget I have boobs sometimes. I ordered 38C, it fits great, a little snug in cup size, but I don't think a D cup would fit me. I wish they come in more sporty colors.

This is just a new color of my favorite bra ever. It's my everyday as well as my workout bra. Very supportive, comfortable and long-lasting. This bra contains my DDDs and keeps the motion under control.

By far my best sports bra! I workout a lot (playing higher impact sports like tennis) . Being a little older and having nursed children back in the day, I need a super supportive sports bra that doesn't allow any bounce. I have had others that, when they arrived, I liked almost as well as these, but with time they stretched or fell apart. I just reordered some of these because they held up, while the other styles I bought hadn't! I also like that these are underwire (you aren't stuck with that uni-boob look).

Love this bra! I tell all my friends to buy one...or two. A perfect fit. Very snug and comfortable. I just bought another to wear as my daily.

This bra is wonderful. I bought the first one for Tae Kwon Do but now wear these every day. It provides excellent support and is comfortable to wear. The bra shows under low neckline tops because it is cut high, but I prefer to switch shirts rather than wear another bra! My usual size is 32DDD and this was true to size.

I run marathons and do 100 mile bike rides in this bra. It is a great fit and very comfortable for endurance sports.

Great bra. I wear mine as an everyday bra, and love the support and contour. I do find the band size runs just a little small (perhaps because it's a sport bra). After several wearings, it's not really an issue.

Nice Bra... cups are good fit but band is much smaller then any other 36 I have owned. For me it should be snug because they will stretch out but this was way to small. I will order up a size and see how it fits.

I have a love/hate relationship with this bra. I usually wear a 32 or 34G. I ordered this bra in a 34G and it is a smidge too tight in band and cup size. PRO: overall comfort, fit, support, and general shape under t-shirts. CON: not enough support for running/jogging, the front of the bra is way too high (forget wearing even a modest V-neck), the convertible straps cause the back hooks to slip off - they have never come out completely while I am wearing the bra, but while trying to put it on, half the time, the straps come un-hooked and it is a hassle to get them back in position. WORST: even while wearing, the strap hooks slip out 95 percent, so they are only hanging on by the very tip, which looks crazy unsightly and causes the metal strap hooks to gouge into your back. Since I only ever wear this in the traditional strap configuration, I am going to solve this problem by just sewing the straps permanently into place, but it is annoy to drop so much on a garment that fails from day one.

Enell Maximum Control Wire-Free Sports Bra is the ONLY sports bra for DD+ that will prevent bounce. It's super ugly, but it works.

I love this bra, although it does seem to break down quickly. This is my 3rd one. The underwire seems to break after 3-4 months of wearing 4 times a week either running or crossfitting. Still my favorite and I'll keep ordering.

I wore this backpacking in the Sierras for 6 days and it did not disappoint. Supportive, comfy and I did not notice the underwires, and gave me full coverage. I rinsed it in the river a couple times and it dried quickly in the sun, too. Even with a 40+ lb pack and hiking long miles each day, it didn't dig into me and the shoulder straps stayed in place. Super happy and will buy another.

I'm always leery of buying bras online as I'm a tough customer when it comes to bras! I have rounding/slopey shoulders as I'm getting older (62) so straps always slide down, etc and I just am tired of buying bra after bra after bra to get some comfort :( This is the 1st NON padded bra I've had in years and it's awesome!! It gives me a very firm support without the extra bulk in front. NO sliding off my shoulders either...I've worn it numerous times on my long hikes and it stays in place and nothing moves around!! I've ordered 2 more Wacoal bras, not the same style, but if they are as good as this one is I'm sold for the rest of my life lol!!

I think this is the most comfortable bra I've ever had on, I wear it as an everyday bra not just a sports bra.

I've worn this same style bra for several years, and it is my all time favorite because it is so comfortable. It holds me in place and there's no chafing anywhere. I have some others from your company that I like also, but they're not as comfortable for all day wear. I like them because they're a little lower cut for some of my shirts, but the Simone Sport Underwire Bra is my go-to for all day comfort. At least for larger breasted women like me, I can't recommend it high enough. One other thing ... they last forever, it seems. I've got one I've worn for several years (that's lots of washings), and it still fits like it was new. I never dry them in the dryer ... only air dry. Great product!

I have purchased 6 of these sports bras in the last year and half. I had to keep getting different sizes from losing weight. It fits amazing. I can run with confidence. It is so supportive. Love this bra. I would wear it all the time if it had a little padding.

This is a great sports bra. I have had one in white for a couple of years and finally needed to add one more. I am a 34 G and use this for jogging, zumba, jumping rope, etc. Really good support. Gave it 5 stars, even for style, but come on, there is no such thing as a stylish sports bra for the very large chested. I am just grateful that it works!

I'm a loyal Wacoal customer and this sports bra is perfect. Comfortable even if snug and very supportive. My only small annoyance with it is that the middle comes up fairly high, so it easily can't be worn with lower cut tops.

Very comfortable, great support (I'm 34DD), and no uni-boob issues. I wear it under street clothes, too, although as others have noted it is cut pretty high in the front. I've worn mine on several 6-10 mile hikes this spring and it's been great - no chafing, rubbing, or slipping, and the wicking material kept me comfortable. I just got another in black I liked it so much. I only wish I could find a lower-cut bra this comfortable and supportive!

At first I thought this bra was excellent: great support and good construction. I took off the tags delighted. However, after a short time, the extremely short band began to pinch and was uncomfortable in the extreme. Unfortunately I cannot now return the bra. Even if the band were a little bit longer, the bra would have been OK. Very disappointed and now out the money!

The bra fits to size - I took my measurements just before ordering to make sure. But the underwire comes way up the side, as it should I guess, and it jabs me in the armpit if I'm sitting down, slouching or generally just not all the way upright. I'm thinking this may just be a big-boob problem. Smaller busted women may not have underwire problems like this... That is what I'm thinking, as I have had other bras that do some similar jabbing as this... sigh. But the bra is definitely supportive and holding everything in. It is not very beautiful, but it is functional. The part of the bra that comes in between your breasts comes up very high. Do not expect to wear a v-neck shirt or a loose fitting shirt without this part of the bra sticking up and out of the lower neckline. I usually love Wacoal, but maybe I'm a little underwhelmed with this one.

This is a good bra, the rib cage measurement runs small. However, I am putting a tissue under the clasp that rubs against my back because it is itchy, especially when I move around, which is of course the point of this bra. ;-)

I'm still trying to find my size in this bra! About a year ago I ordered this bra in my then true size (32DD) only to find out that it was VERY tight in the band. I sent it back and opted for a completely different style from another brand. Well, since then I've gained about 30lbs and I'm trying to get back on the bandwagon. I decided to try this style out again thinking that the underwire would help with my even larger chest. Knowing that the bra ran on the smaller side and NOT knowing what size I would be in this bra now, I ordered two different sizes a 34DDD and a 36DD. The 36DD is slightly too large in the band and the 34DDD is slightly too small in the cup. I'm sending both back and may try other sizes. I have one other caveat that may or may not be solved with finding the right size. The underwire on this bra is on the OUTSIDE and after marching in place while pumping my arms for about a minute I noticed that the wire DOES jut out from under the arms and probably will chafe that area with repetitive movement.

I bought this bra after reading reviews for it on Runner's World as a good bra for marathon running. Unfortunately, if you are large chested this would not be a good running bra. There is no support in the cups at all. You won't suffer the dreaded "uniboob" but you won't be able to run further than 400 yards without pain from the bounce. While the fabric was soft and very comfortable, my everyday bra has more support. I had to return it and will continue to search for another bra.
