Anita Active Front Close Sports Bra 5523 Reviews

A bit disappointed as the straps (velcro) sometimes don't stay closed. I was walking into the grocery store when my strap opened and a breast dropped. Not a good feeling. I fear that will happen in my Pilates or Yoga class. The bra is comfortable with the nice wide back but the straps could be an issue. Janet from Fredericksburg,VA

I love this bra! I play volleyball and softball, and always feel supported. I have one in black and white, and sometimes wear it to work as it helps support my back also. The hooks in front are easy to use, and stay closed. Denise S. from CA

Breast Cancer. Needed a front closer bra to be dressed in following surgery. The first voice I heard, was nurse on my left dressing my incision saying "nice bra" then the nurse helping on the right tapped my shoulder saying "this is really nice bra"...all I could do is smile...they were so right!

It works because I can only use a front closing bra that is also a sports bra. Easy to put on and off and the support is adequate for everyday where. KRC from N. Bethesda, MD

Firm control with nice adjustable straps. The bra was too long for me. Mary from Virginia Beach, VA, USA

Love this front close bra that has shoulder adjustments. My only *itch is that as a big girl (200lbs+) I can never find a sports bra that doesn't roll at the band. I thought I had it with this one but after a few washes (handwash, cold, hung dry) the roll is there after about an hour of wear. Still comfortable though, even on the hottest of days(100's). For me this is a light duty bra for golf. Amanda from NY

I have worn this bra in size 36E as an every-day bra for a long time. Recently I lost some weight, but stayed the same cup size (just saggier, sigh). I decided to order a new bra in 34F, only to discover to my dismay that the bra only goes up to 34E. I ordered a 34E to see if I could get away with it, but it wasn't large enough to contain my breasts. So sad. This was far and away my favorite bra -- comfortable, easy to put on and adjust, didn't give me uni-boob. Definitely a 5-star bra. Heidi from Baltimore, MD

Very comfortable fit! Not the most attractive bra or breast shaper but great support for my upper back and good adjustment for my right shoulder,which has a torn rotater cuff. Will buy again . June from Colonial Heights,Va,US

Purchasing this item was easy and it arrived fairly quickly. However, the bra is too constricting and is not appropriate for breast reconstruction as some may have stated in their reviews. I tried it on for all of ten minutes before I had to take it off. I also didn't realize how hard it would be to find a front close (with hooks) sports bra in a 34C that also had supportive cups and didn't give the "uni-boob" effect. I will still order from HerRoom when I can wear regular bras again because they do have a great selection and ship quickly. JH from Quincy, MA

I just had a lumpectomy. This bra has been perfect for my post surgery. It is quite comfortable and the front closure is what I really needed. It gives great support and the adjustable velcro tabs are a real plus. Highly recommend this for anyone who needs a sports bra post breast surgery. Maureen from Roselle, New Jersey, USA

This is THE most comfortable I've been in a bra in a long, long time. I was apprehensive about a front closure but as it turns out I like it better because my back was always irritated by the closure area. Great bra, not enough support for jogging though. Kathy from Carson City NV

I would have loved the opportunity to wear this bra, it looks extremely comfortable, but unfortunately there is no 'give' in the size. It either fits or it doesn't. The hooks were equally difficult to undo. It is a shame. D from New Hampshire

I now own 5 of the Anita bras, so I can wear a fresh one every day. This one is my favorite, as I can easily open and close it, and it holds me comfortably. Service at Her Room is excellent, as always. Marilyn from Beaufort, nc

I had a mammoplasty revision and this bra was just the ticket from the front closure to the front adjustable Velcro straps!!! Linda G from Columbia, MO 65201

I just had breast surgery last July. I needed a great support bra, very comfortable, and with front close. I discovered this website and ordered this bra. Wasn't too sure when I first received it and was ready to return without tring it on. I did try it on anyway and it is the most perfect bra I have every had. Great support! Great fit! Holds my shape perfectly! Very lightweight. I feel complete all around. I can run my Setters and not bounce. Just holds me in place without any tightness or pressure. I have looked a very long time for this and now especially after my surgery I have finally found the perfect bra for me! I have ordered more - 3 whites, and 5 blacks! Looks great under my tops! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Mary Anne from Somerset, NJ / United States

I bought this bra to wear after an augmentation. This bra was way too constricting to wear right after the surgery. However, I love the construction of it and am hoping that as the swelling goes down a bit I will be able to wear it. If not, I'll have to give it to one of my friends and try again...

I love this bra! I hate putting sports bras over my head - I feel like they're strangling me! - so I've been looking for a sports bra that has hooks. It is supportive enough to run at top speed on the treadmil and it is comfortable enough to leave on all day. My only complaint: it would be even better if there was more than one row of "eye" closures so that I could tighten or loosen the bra as needed. Melissa from CA

I bought my first one for my post breast augmentation because of the front closure. The bra is so comfortable I decided to buy another one to wear to work. Robbin from Martinsville, OH

Love it except for the fact that the velcro straps tend to stick to whatever I am wearing on top which results in loosening the straps of the bra. I am using the bra post revision of breast implants. I must wear the bra constantly for 3 weeks thus the purchase of two bras. the bra provides firm support and comfort. Sandra from LAS VEGAS NEVADA

I love this bra. The fit as well as the support is perfect for me. I have not had a bra or a sports bra that I have liked for a long time because I am difficult to fit. I will definitely buy again...and again...and again. dawn from dayton, oh

I have tried a lot of sports bras that do not work for me. I run, play on 3 soccer leagues and play tennis. This is one of the few that actually provides the high impact support I need, comfortably. My only complaint is that the shoulder straps are not adjustable enough and I had to sew mine further than the velcro would go but I like it so much I bought another one and these are the only bras I will wear now when playing soccer or running.

This bra is comfortable enough to sleep in but provides adequate support for working out. I usually wear a 32DD but the 32D fits perfectly. Holly from TX

I bought this bra for post augmentation because of its front closure and advertised support. The size I ordered was correct by measurements, but the bra was way too constricting to wear, even now 4 months later. The velcro closures on the shoulders are bothersome to me as well.
