Shock Absorber Reviews
I wear a 34DD and this bra is good for cycle, boot camp, weight work. Not so great for running - Moving Comfort's Juno bra can't be beat there. A few comments - the stripes and the seams on this bra show through everything; the fit is VERY tight; I don't understand why the top, plastic fastener is there, I've never undone it (it's impossible to reach anyway); I wish it came in more fun solid colors; and I don't care for the appearance of all the plastic loop things that adjust the shoulder straps (these show in certain racerback shirts). That said, I wear this bra quite a bit and it has washed well.
I sent it back because (1) it was almost impossible to latch (and I'm pretty flexible), and (2) there was some bounce (I'm a 36C / new mom) and I wanted zero bounce / for them to be totally strapped down.
I love the support this sports bra provides! I am a nursing mom who wears a 34G. This bra is provides more than adequate support for me to run in. I also like that the straps pull together in the back so I can wear racerback tanks with it. I felt that it runs true to size unlike some other reviews I read. My only complaint, which is why I gave it 4 stars, is that the upper clasp on the back is difficult to hook. That said, I would recommend this to any large chested runner or athlete.
Cute and moisture wicking, but the sizing is awful! I wear 30F in freya, panache, and fantasie, But this 30F could not possibly close around my ribcage, probably because the fabric only measures 26inch around! So I returned for a 32E (up a band down a cup, right?), but that didn't really fit either (cup too small), but I needed it for Crossfit that night so decided it was good enough. Following the supersweaty workout, the bra had stretched so much it was riding up onto my boobs!
Very disappointed. The style has great potential: adjustable straps AND two sets of hooks to customize the back to fit your particular body shape. However, the size E must mean something different to this manufacturer. With some help, and lots of laughter, I was able to flatten one breast enough to squeeze it into both cups. Perhaps this style is better suited to women with smaller breasts and wider backs. Thank goodness Zappos offers such great customer service.
I usually wear a 34 F, so I need a good sports bra. This one fit perfectly! It's adjustable and comfortable- keeps everything in place. I highly recommend!
I hated that you could see all of the lines thru the bra; totally unattractive. I cannot commit on the comfort or support because I couldn't get past the way it looked thru my shirt to even wear it out of the house! I returned it!

Love this bra! Super supportive - I'm nursing and larger than usual - this bra offers the best support of any I've tried. I still need to wear two bras when running or jumping but can pair this one with a cheaper compression only bra for the perfect support! Worth the money!
I am usually a 34B which is what I ordered but I could not even do this bra up it was so tight. Also, the cups seemed big for a B especially when you want a sports bra to be nice and tight... I think this would be a good bra but maybe just for larger cup sizes.
This is an amazing bra. I have never been able to run prior to owning this sports bra! After having my second child (two kids in two years), my breasts were a size H! I purchased this in a size G and it worked great. I have since lost 35 pounds and needed a smaller one! Overall, amazing!
This was almost a good fit for me but like so many sports bras when it compresses it squeezes extra flesh into unsightly areas - making it look like the girls have migrated to under my arm and the minimal back fat I have oozes out above the back strap. Too bad.
This sports bra is AWESOME!!! Creates great shape and wonderful control. Can easily be worn all day. LOVE IT!!!!
This is the best running sports bra that I have found. After growing a bit during pregnancy, I had to find a good sports bra to run in. Thanks to Zappos' wonderful return policy, I was able to find the best there is. The Moving Comfort Luna still jiggled way too much. The Moving Comfort Fiona was very comfortable and nursing compatible, but I still jiggled (kept it for low impact workouts). I just took away one star for comfort because I have to use a mirror to clip the top back. It runs true to size, although I was thinking when I first put it on that it would be too small. I am so glad that it is perfect!

This bra has very thin but strong material that is very shock absorbing. The shoulder straps have a strange fastener like bra hooks but flatter. All and all I think it's good but I did get a size too small despite by measurement aligning with the size I chose.
Thank you for making a sports bra for 40G. I have been using a regular bra since I gained weight. Once I found this sports bra I felt ok to go to the gym now. This bra meant I could start my new lifestyle.
Great sports bra, reduces bounce greatly. I'm a 36E and this is one of the best sports bra I've found. It does compress the breasts some and doesn't separate much, but the reason I buy a sports bra is to hold me in place. This bra does that. It's not a heavy bra, but does have lining/coverage/seems so no one knows how cold it is in the gym. It does a great job wicking the sweat away so I stay comfortable not clammy. It is a halter style, but it's not difficult to get on and off even though you have to reach behind your head to unclasp the top strap. The only complaint I have is it's really expensive, but I guess you get what you pay for.
As close to perfect as I've found. This bra is more attractive than other high intensity sports bras I've worn. It doesn't completely eliminate bounce but it's one of the better I've found. I'm 34 full C and it fit exactly as expected. I'm very happy with it and will be ordering more.
This sports bra really held the girls in. A little too much though. I ordered my size and it was really snug which is a good thing. But while my workout continued it felt too restrictive and too much fabric. I love the way I didn't bounce but I hated that it sort of felt maternal...I wear a 34DD but augmented. and I only wear a sportsbra for a top so I like my bras to be nice enough to show off. For the price I would not buy it anymore and wished I could return it. I found Moving Comfort far more appealing in the looks department and it held my girls in also without being restrictive.
There are only 2 things I don't like about this piece of equipment: 1. I may need a friend to help me put this thing on if my muscles are ever sore or if I get any less flexible. 2. The words on the front read: "Shock Absorber." Thanks. I like to be reminded that my breasts require earthquake-resistant gear, especially when I exercise.
The size listed on the website is UK size so the 34F that I ordered arrived and it's US size was 34G. No big deal, because when I took it out of the box my immediate reaction was "You're kidding me, this is never going to fit, it's way too small." And I considered crying. But I sucked it up, waited a minute, tried it on, and Boom! The thing is like Hermione Granger's magic beaded handbag! I don't know where they went, but they're all tucked away so I'm happy! If I were you, I'd order a size up. I can't wait to run in it, I did a little bounce test and I'm sure this one's going to work! Thanks, Zappos!

I've had this sports bra for about a year now, and there's nothing like it! I wouldn't have ordered it had I realized there was no underwire, but now I'm ordering a second! I need a lot of support for the ladies, and this has done a better job than any other sports bra I've ever worn, and with far more comfort too!
