This feels like a lighter duty sports bra for larger bust. Think a yoga bra from a regular store, but it actually fits and supports like you want.

Hi Anna, Thank you for your thoughts! We're glad to hear this bra offers the right fit and support, similar to a yoga bra but with the structure needed for a larger bust. It’s great to know it meets your expectations for comfort and performance!

Overall this is a great bra. It’s very pretty and supportive. The straps sit farther out on the shoulder than I was expecting, more like a balconette’s straps. Not a problem but I feature I wasn’t expecting.

Hi Anna, Thank you for sharing your thoughts! We're glad to hear you find the bra both pretty and supportive. The strap placement is designed to mimic a balconette style, which may differ from traditional designs. We appreciate your feedback and hope it adds to your comfort!

So far I love this bra. It gives the support and coverage I look for in a sports bra without the dreaded “uniboob” look. It honestly works under anything.

Love: support, built-in padding, touched style. Increased coverage for fuller bust. Don’t love: still LOTS of cleavage

Hi ML, Thank you for your review! We're glad you love the support, built-in padding, and extra coverage. For those looking for less cleavage, you might consider trying a higher neckline style for more modesty while keeping the great support

Good fit, the straps do loosen while exercising though and another person is needed to tighten them. Great for work still as i need the wire as I am in a very practical role.

Hi Madison, Thank you for your review! We're glad the fit works well for you during work. For the loosening straps during exercise, you might consider double-checking the adjusters or trying a style with firmer strap support. We're happy to help you find the perfect option for your active needs! xo

Love the band and how many hooks come with it for changing sizes. I did online measuring and it seems to fit my left side but my right side seems to over fill the cup resulting in constant readjusting.

Hi Madison, Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you appreciate the adjustable band and multiple hooks. Differences in fit between sides can be common; you might consider trying a bra with stretchier cups or a style designed for asymmetry to improve comfort and fit. We're here to help if you'd like further assistance! xo

It just fits my 14F boobs. I use this more for at home as it's comfortable but not supportive for me.

Hi Ally, Thank you for your honest feedback! We're glad you find the bra comfortable for home use. We'll take your input on support into consideration as we continue to improve our designs. Our Cotton Candy bra is wireless so there will be not much support but you can try our Flexiwire bras that will give you great support and lift. Thank you.
