Customer Reviews Wacoal Sport Underwire Bra 855170

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.

I bought this bra in four different sizes, tried them all on, and picked the 34DD. Wore it twice (just to cycle class!) and it really had very mediocre support. It was also hot, sweaty, and the band seems to stretch out so it kind of bounced against my skin under the middle part of my breasts. The underwires come up so high in the front - giving it the appearance and feel of a really big bra. I wanted a racerback, but settled for this because I usually love Wacoal. Overall, it's just too much bra given the mediocre support it provided. At the moment Moving Comfort's Juno bra is my go-to for running, and Shock Absorber Run bra for everything else (cycle, boot camp, weight work, Pilates, etc.). I'm still searching for an attractive, supportive, racerback for everything besides running.

So uncomfortable surprisingly poor fit. Underwire cut into the underarm, straps and seam were too tight.

This one did not work for me.I am 40G and that means that I have heavy ones. After one week the metal hook in the started to bend until it broke. I will not recommend it if you are sized over 38D.

I ordered this bra in black after having the beige one and loving it. The black bra appears to be a full size smaller than the beige and the white ones I have ordered recently. :( because I love this bra for comfort fit and support

Its the only bra that fits and is supportive

Love this bra! The pink color is so happy! I've been wearing this style for 10 years. Well made and even my older ones are still in the rotation!

I have several of these sport bras and continue to buy them because they are the most comfortable and supportive sports bra I've worn for everything but running. They even work as an everyday bra because they provide great lift and separation. great for all high-impact sports but not the best for running if you have a larger chest.

Sport, no sport, t-shirt, blouse, THIS bra is my go-to! Straps have many adjustment options, and they don't bite into my shoulders! I'm comfortable and well-supported all day.

This is the perfect sports bra for me, fits like a glove and holds everything tight, I am a 38D, but it's not uncomfortable like other sports bras..I don't even feel it all day! The only downside is that you can not wear a deep v cut shirt as the bra comes up high in the middle to give you good support.. otherwise I would wear it with dress clothes too..

The best bra ever, for sport or normal wear. These are the best hold I have ever experienced.

I have bought this bra for years but now need a larger size. Wish it was available in 44 and 46 DD. I have tried other bras you offer but not as comfortable.

This bra is excellent! I'm a 38DDD, and many sports bras seem to just squash my boobs with a uni-boob look that they don't always help with the bouncing. This bra has a unique design (the underwire is on the outside) that keeps my boobs separate with no squishing and is incredibly comfortable. There's no rollover on the bottom under my boobs, and I feel good in it. It does the job, too. I was running today, and everything was comfortable and supportive. I wholeheartedly suggest this bra for those on the bigger side who want good looks, comfort, and stability.

My favorite sports bra hands down! I have purchased several of these over a number of years. I wear them for playing volleyball, hiking, bike riding, walking and running with the dog and they keep me supported and comfortable. I wash them in cold on delicate cycle and they are ready to go again. I love that the strap length is adjustable because I am tall - I can get maximum length with minimum bounce. Good separation and sweat control.

This is the most comfortable sports bra! You can wear it all day and don't even want to take it off.

Best bra I have ever worn. Very supportive.

Fits wonderfully and relieves the pressure on my shoulders. I wear it daily because of the amazing amount of support and comfort.

I've been buying this bra for years it is my favorite fits perfect

I truly feel the Simone sport underwire bra holds better than any other brand I have tried in the past. I wear 32DD and this bra feels soft and comfortable when on and holds me in place.

This bra is the PERFECT sports bra! It is supportive and comfortable. It compliments me when I jog and leaves no bra marks on the skin.

I love this bra! I have dense full breasts and you will not bounce in this bra. Great support! I had three that were five years old and just replaced with two more.
