Anita Active Microfiber Molded Sports Bra 5521 Reviews

I love Anita! This bra was the only one out of 4 that I kept. The straps are wide and comfortable, the cup shape is natural, and overall it is true to size and comfortable. I ordered a cup size smaller than usual based on reviews, but think that my usual size would be fine. I'll keep the smaller cup size for times when I need extra support, and order more in my usual size. This bra is very comfortable, but only moderate motion control. For more control try another Anita bra, the Extreme Control 5527. Laura from San Francisco

Great comfortable wire-free bra. Doesn't give that uniboob look for me. Runs small in the band; I normally wear a 34 but the 36 fit well in this style. I don't play sports so I don't know if it would be supportive enough or not for an athlete. Ellen from Brattleboro Vermont

I love this bra but it seems to run small in the band. I've never worn a 36 before but had to return this for a 36E, which fits fine and is extremely comfortable. I'm not an athlete so I don't need it to hold up to running; I just love having a comfortable wireless bra that fits. Ellen from Brattleboro Vermont

Word can not explain how awesome this bra is. I have been on a quest to have a number of good bras, and due to my size ( I am thin w/ large very very full breasts), I have struggled and have to buy over the internet. I also do not want ANY metal in my bras. Well this bra is so comfortable, such wide straps that my shoulders are singing on how soft and yummy all the weight is distributed on my shoulders. I had found Anita's 5457 a couple months ago, and was very happy, but this bra is even better. I want 5 of them! and will buy more. I have a new rule....I only buy Anita....they are the best I have found and all the others have been far less comfortable and thus, I am done with the rest. Buy this bra....oh, forgot to mention, I did not buy this bra to work out, or to bounce (but it holds things in place wonderfully)....I buy all my bras for every day support and comfort. I want great everyday support, period...and this is it. Vicki from Phoenix,AZ USA

This is my second purchase of this style bra. After 2 years, I needed a replacement. The bra is very comfortable and good for wearing while walking for exercise. Also good for everyday wear. I did not rate as 5-star because I'd like to see it offered in size 30 band. B from South Carolina

I ended up having to return this item because it just didn't keep the girls in place. It's definitely not enough support for dance aerobics, lots of jumping, etc. But, it's a really nice and comfortable bra in all other respects and I would definitely recommend buying it to wear just under your clothes day-to-day. This isn't a nursing bra, but I wore this style when I was breastfeeding b/c I had jumped up a size and needed something that did a better job of supporting the girls better than the cheaper nursing bras I was wearing. So overall, meant for lower to medium impact workouts but amazingly comfortable as a normal bra.

Anita Response: Thank you, for your feedback on this style. Yes, it is for medium impact only. We suggest trying Anita Momentum Sports Bra 5529 for the higher impact workout. This style would be great for you. Sarah from Alexandria, VA

I really like this sports bra. It fits great, supports and is very comfortable. I don't love the shape of my bustline in the bra, but overall I am satisfied. I may try another Anita style in the future. skier1010 from NY, NY

Love the bras. I had purchased one locally and went to get more but they were out of stock. Recommended by my gynecologist, They fit very well, do not ride up, and are so comfortable. Joan from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA

Even though this bra is listed as a sports bra, I am wearing it every day. It has the magic combination so difficult to find: the comfort of a sports bra with the support of a "regular" bra. I'm so happy with this - I have been miserable with underwire, but wirefree bras are a joke. Not so this bra! Truly wear it all day without suffering at all. I used to come home from work and rip off that bra first thing! Now I am amazed to realize at bedtime that I've had this bra on for 14 hours. Honestly, this bra is MORE comfortable than my sports bras! Can't recommend it enough; I hope it is never discontinued. It does fit a tad bit higher in front than most bras, so if your top/dress is lower cut in front, it might show a bit. The cup is nice thin stretchy material, which makes for a great fit. Nancy

I love this bra. I have tried around half dozen sports bras; thank goodness I don't have to try anymore. This one has nice fabric, that feels good against my skin, and it is supportive enough for aerobic exercise. ScarlettsMom from Chicago, il

This is by far my most favorite bra. I have tried so many different types and brands of bras and this one in particular is my most comfortable and supportive bra ever. Having very large and heavy breasts, it is basically a nightmare for me trying to find a bra that holds me up, yet doesn't hurt me at the same time. This bra fits the bill and I hope the makers continue to make it for years to come. I have tried wired bras and have never had any success because the wire always causes me pain digging in to my body. This particular bra is supportive and it makes me look natural and not like I have a uni-boob like some other styles do. Love this bra, just wish it was a bit cheaper, but I will continue to pay whatever it costs for the comfort and support.

Love the fabric but can't wear the bra because the band folds up and won't stay flat. Dona from Kansas City

Love the bra. I use it as an every day bra. Only issue I have is that it runs small. I normally wear a 42DD and I do not have to put it on the first hooks. This bra I did. I would have liked this bra one size up for more comfort. Also this bra is expense. Danielle from Sterling Heights, MI USA

Finally!! It is soooo difficult to find a bra in size 44B in the first place; it is always assumed that if you're a 44 around, you must have large breasts. But there are plenty of us 44B women out there, so thank you to Anita for servicing this demographic. As far as this specific bra, it's is EVERYTHING I've ever been looking for. The straps are perfectly shaped and placed for comfort; the underband is wide and not too thick; the sides are high and avoid spillage; and the cups fit a size B woman perfectly with no spillage out of the top. The front of the bra is a little high and sometimes shows depending on the shirt, so I wish it came in more fashion colors than just black white & nude. But otherwise, no complaints. I'll be ordering one in each color. Pam from Concord, NH

Flattens you right down except for nipples,which are prominent. Really is no separation. Extremely comfortable especially in the shoulder area.Wish there was some concealment for nipples. Patricia from West Shokan,NY USA

Comfortable and fits well. Not sure how long the underband will stay in shape. Time will tell. I would re-order if necessary.

Anita Response: The underband is also made of microfiber and shall stay in shape very long and lasts. We do have very good experiences with this bra Nancy from Newtown, CT

This bra is the ONLY bra that fits me properly and is comfortable too. Having very large breasts is a nightmare for me when it comes to finding a bra that both fits and is comfortable. I love that it's wireless, has comfortable shoulder straps and it doesn't bother me while I wear it. I have tried so many brands and styles over the years and this has been the only brand and style that works for my very full breasts. Thank god for Anita bras. Mizmo from Pacific Grove, Ca. USA

This is my second purchase of this bra because I loved it so much. Very comfortable yet gives enough support. I walk / jog with my dog (no high-impact) but sometimes I wear for everyday because it's so comfortable. KK from Chicago
