AnitaWomen's Plus Size Extreme Control Sport Bra

I purchased this bra from Lingerie Divia- Amazon, (also know as GiGi's Closet) and I love it. Finally I have a sports bra or every day bra that is comfortable and fits. No uniboob, and no bounce, no over spill. This bra is fit to your exact size. European sizes do not add 5 inches to your band size! Instead they add it to the cup.Here is what I learned from reading other websites. Measure the circumference (not super tight) of the area just below your breasts where the band will reside. That is you band size. Then measure the circumference over the top of your breast (over the nipples). Subtract the band size from breast measurement and you have your cup size. One inch difference is a size A, two inch size B and so on.I also found a place that specialized in bra fittings in my town. Best to double check these measurements with a professional. But once you do, the world is wide open to bras that will support you and look great too. I am no way affiliated with the above seller; I just love the product and will buy from them again.In years of searching I have never found a sports bra that gave comfort and control like this one. Years ago I gave up on finding a regular bra that fit, so I wore for 5 years a Moving Comfort Fiona Bra. It was a step-up at the time, but mashed uni-boob prevailed. As the bras wore out there was no support to my boobs and it actually gave me back pain. This Anita bra is different. It really supports my breasts and they are not smashed. The band is true to size. Make sure that you measure under your breasts for your band size, and that is the size you should order. Do not add 5 inches to that size or you will have a bra that is way too big and will not support you! This bra should fit snug initially with wear it will stretch out so you can move it gradually to the inner hooks. Don't ever dry it, unless you want to shrink it a bit.

This is a very comfortable sports bra and also gives one a great shape. It breathes well enough that it is still comfortable to wear even after exercise. The straps are a teensy bit short; I have them extended as far as I can. I am average height (5'5"), so if you are very tall, this bra may not work for you.

I bought this same model sports bra in a specialty lingerie shop quite a number of years ago, so I don't really remember how he original bra felt when it was new and not stretched out. I normally wear a 32E in bras, but my original was a 34E. I'm glad I went with the 34 because a 32 would be too tight or might not fit at all. The cup size is right. I feel supported but don't do running or jumping. The band digs into my underarm area a bit, but its fine for a workout. I think it would be a little uncomfortable wearing for a lot longer. Perhaps as it is used and washed it will loosen up in that area. I might look for another brand next time around.

Reading some of the negative reviews on here, it brings home a very important point for bras in general, but especially for sport bras: you need to get fitted. Most women wear the wrong bra size, period, and when it came to the Anita Extreme Control Sport Bra, my size was very different from what I wear in "normal" bras. I'm on Amazon purchasing my 2nd one of these bras because it's more convenient and less expensive, but I got my first one at Intimacy, a boutique bra store that does amazing bra fittings.I am a 38DD and I love this bra for high impact aerobics and running. I wear it three times a week to Richard Simmons' class, which means I'm literally jumping up and down in it for an hour straight. Not only is it comfortable on, my boobs barely move (a miracle!), I don't get uni-boob and it looks nice under most of my tops. I've also worn it running. My size in Anita last May was a 40E. I just bought a 38E because I've gotten a bit smaller around, but basically: my Anita sport bra size it not the same cup size as in "normal" bras. I'm really glad I got fitted the first time around, because my previous "novice" bra-buying self totally would have bought a 38DD (or a 38D, as I used to delude myself about my boob size) and it wouldn't have fit or been comfortable.So that is to say, I find this bra perfect for big boobs and for high impact, and I think the key is to get fitted. (or, at least, find it at a store -- I think Macy's carries them? -- and try on multiple sizes until you find the right one.) I'm a fairly standard U.S. plus-size (size 16) and I took some of my friends who are sizes 24-28 and they also got Anita bras that fit like a dream. I think it's just a great sport bra for bigger (large band size) and/or large chested women who want to work out. Previously, I hated anything high impact because I could never find a good sport bra. Am v. happy now! (plus this price is awesome -- I paid $70 at the boutique)

Fits true to size

Y'a rien qui bouge! Attention pour la taille, fait un peu plus petit qu'un soutien gorge "normal", mais respirant, facile d'entretien.

Dieser Sport Bh sitzt auch bei einer großen großen Größe perfekt

Morbido sulla pelle.Ottimo sostegno senza comprimere.Perfetto

I like everything about this bra, it fits well, is long lasting (don't dry in drier), nice looking
