Panache Women's Underwire Sports Bra Bra

Why did you choose this product over others?: Amazing sports bra - I wish it wasn't so pricey because I would buy 10 more. I have used this bra both at 32F and 36E due to fluctuating weight, and at both weights I can confidently say this bra has made exercise comfortable and got rid of all bounce during cardio. The clasp at the back is also great to secure you in for sprints.

I am probably the most skeptical person when it comes to buying in on brands brand that claim to do miracles especially for ordinary things like a bra, I mean in my head it was just a bra. But on this occasion a miracle it was! I wish I could shout from the rooftops about how absolutely fantastic this sports bra is, God bless the founders! I looked hard at finding a bra that reduced 'bounce' in the gym as I love to do short sprints on the treadmill and other high impact exercises such as HIIT and Tabata style workouts and can feel embarrassed at times when my breasts are constantly slapping me in the face. My previous bra was a shock absorber (not sure which model) but it has no underwiring which is probably my own fault as back when I bought it, I did hardly any research but i found that the caused my breasts to become so flattened and almost square like (looking like pecs if the vest was tight enough!) I mean it did the job until I was fortunate enough to be blessed with this Panache Bra. Now I think back and realise why did I ever endure that pain from the shoulder straps! Honestly, I NEVER can be bothered to give reviews about anything I but but on this occasion I feel like I have to share it with the world! I even asked friends about which bra they used to workout in and one actually told me she wore two! Two bras in the gym, no way Jose!! On the first day I got this (incredibly excited after I had finished wrestling the delivery man for it as I was so excited, I knew it was 'The One') Between man and God I ran on the treadmill like I was running the Flora London Marathon (and winning may I add! lol) I felt no discomfort what so ever! The bra claims to reduce up to 83% bounce and this it does so well. At first I expected my chest not to move at all, but after actually thinking about it I realised that this was an incredibly stupid thought! Wide straps and soft material, yes please! As well as the fact it comes quite high up on your chest to make it that extra comfortable and you don't have to worry about the straps digging in. The back fastening has so much support with I think three sets of hooks for adjustment and the underwiring is hardly felt (if at all) as there is so much padding surrounding it to make it so comfortable. Honestly I have told anyone who will listen (I think Panache should make me their ambassador to be honest), big busted and non big busted friends that they need this in their lives! I wish there was a more than 5 rating star to try and convey how amazing this bra is because I really do think every woman, especially fuller chested ladies needs one in order to enjoy the full benefit! To think it was an accident that I came across this item (God bless Amazon for bringing it up along the bottom of the screen for me) and hope to buy every colour that it is made in. Just to end this review off, I repeat, am a miser when it comes to buying into miracle brands for ordinary items. I will do every bit of research and read reviews to make sure that I am not wasting my money or talk myself out of it, I will spend hours looking for cheaper alternatives and make excuses, but, my fellow big busted ladies, there is no substitution for this! You really do need it, I honestly wish I had a blog or some sort of social media platform to inform the world about this magnificent creation! I hope you enjoy just as much as I have, I'm sure you'll probably see me in the Olympics or something next as I don't think I can stop exercising!

This is my second Panache sports bra in this style and again I am impressed by the fit and quality. Unlike other sports bras for larger busts, this bra has individual cups and underwire to support and not to squash, preventing the "brick" which actually turns a chest into a bouncing weight straining the tendons that hold the breasts up, ultimately defeating the purpose. This bra arrived in good time and it fit perfectly, despite me recalculating the band size (one band size up to one cup size down) as my old panache sports bra was a bit too snug for me and occasionally made breathing a chore when really pushing the cardio. The 30 band fits perfectly and I haven't lost any support for it. It covers my chest fully and I don't have any bubbling, apart from a small bit of "side boob" which is evident for me in any bra. This bra goes fairly far up the sides and offers good side coverage, keeping any side exposure to a minimum. I used the bra this morning for the first time at an intensive training circuit and I am pleased to say that my bra was the last thing on my mind. It wasn't too snug around the band, and I didn't think once on my chest bouncing around nor being squashed. The one gripe I have about the bra is the racerback conversion - a common complaint. It just doesn't work the way it should and digs into the shoulders and neck area so much that it makes my shoulders alternately numb and on fire. That being said, the straps are relatively long and making them any longer to accommodate the racerback style would be a challenge. I just wear it with short straps on the shoulders and don't worry that someone might see my bra - it blends right in and doesn't look like the medical sports bras of the past for those with larger chests. Overall I can't recommend this bra enough for anyone struggling with the issue of a heavy chest keeping them from exercising to the fullest.

I am impressed. I have been looking for a good sports bra for a long time and this is it. I fits snug and provides very good support. It reduces the bounce (which was very important for me) but at the same time still keeps a nice shape; the cups are padded, another plus, and the wide straps and the way they lead from the front to the back makes it very comfortable to wear - the straps don't feel lose (and in fact don't move when exercising) but they don't squeeze or feel to tight either. I bought a bra from shock absorber one at the same time (Women's D+ Max Support Sports Bra B109) to compare them both but for me the shaping and the padded cups of the Panache immediately had my personal preference. Even only by looking at them the Panache makes a much more robust and supportive impression. I returned the Shock Absorber. I have used the Panache now a few times for running and playing Squash and I love it. I actually "forgot" it's there - no bounce, no discomfort, just great. Will totally recommend to friends. For me this is the best sports bra so far and I will buy it again. Maybe a little more expensive than the ones I used before, but in my opinion it's worth it.

My favorite sports bra! Can wear as a normal bra, but there's also a really easy hook in the back to switch to racerback. Great for all gym activities. I'm a 36D, and I run and do Zumba and other high-intensity cardio, this bra stays exactly in place. And I've never gotten rub marks from this bra, even after 6-10+ mile runs. I will buy more of this exact bra when I need new sports bras.

Fits perfectly

This is the most comfortable sports bra for larger chested woman! I highly recommend this. It doesn't squish "the girls" but still provides excellent support, even for running.

This bra was recommended to me by my petite but big chested roommate, and I held off on buying it for a while because it is a bit on the pricy side. However, it is well worth the money! I normally wear a DD, so after reading some other reviews, both here and on other websites, I picked an E cup. It fits beautifully! And unlike most sports bras, you'll look and feel awesome in it, because it doesn't just smush them into the unflattering uniboob. If you're going to be doing high impact exercises, I would definitely recommend hooking the straps together - there's a little hook on the left strap for exactly that purpose - it reigns the girls in just that extra little bit, and you won't get the usual bounce. Bottom Line: I highly recommend this bra, especially if you do high impact activities! It's a beautiful synthesis of function and fashion. Well worth the money!

When I finally figured out what size I was 32G, I bought two and likely to buy 2 more! Very comfy for a nursing momma. Super supportive, too. Dream bra and I am super picky.
