Enell Sports Bra 100 Reviews

Unbelievable support AND comfort! It takes awhile to get used to all the hooks, but it's so worth it and worth the money. Terri from Colorado

I am reading the reviews prior to purchasing. The big negative for me is that it does not have a zippered front. I need a support bra that has ease in putting on - I have problems with both arms that extend down into the hands. Trying to close with hooks is quite a challenge. Does Enell have a sports bra that has a front zipper? Thank you for your time and consideration of my request.

HerRoom Response: No, they do not. In fact sports bras with zippers tend to be problematic. The zipper can come undone or move down during activities. This is why Enell has hooks. J from Olathe, KS, USA

I have had my Enell bra for 4 years and it is still in great shape and holds me in place well. Its time to get a new one, due to the age. But its held up well and I don't move at all in high impact sports. Courtney from New York, NY

this bra is sensational for working out. I do high impact work outs and I have never found a bra with better support. Tammy from Parker/CO/USA

I love this bra!! I am a 36 H and this is the first bra a found that has EVER supported me enough to do anything other than walking! It squishes your boobs together quite a bit, so you get the dreaded "boob sweat" of course, but it is totally worth it. And it's not that ugly, under a tanktop people have asked if I'm wearing a corset. I even wear it to work. I was so impressed I was jumping up and down at work just to show it off!

I was very disappointed with this bra. After reading all the reviews from several different sites, I finally spent the money and purchased the Enell bra. This bra was very tight around the rib cage and I still had too much "bouncing"!! It wasn't any better than some of the other large busted bras available. I returned the Enell and would rather pay $30 for the same "movement" instead of $60. Shelly from USA

I am a 36DDD and need lots of support. The bra is very comfortable, it holds and supports even during the hardest workouts. Cheryl from Cypress, Tx USA

I read the washing/care instructions on the bra label before I wore it for the first time today but nothing prepared me for what happened. There's no way I can be the only person who had this issue so I'm incredibly surprised that in the reviews I read before I purchased this bra this didn't come up. Granted, I didn't read every single one, but I thought I read a fair number. Upon my first wearing of the bra, the black color bled completely through the two 100% cotton tank tops I wore while working out (White -- closest to skin AND pink -- next layer). I did about 45 minutes of cardio/elliptical and of course, I knew that I was sweating but it wasn't until I undressed that I found both tank tops were thoroughly discolored by the black dye (?) of the bra. I surely don't sweat alien perspiration so I am dumbfounded as to what is going on here. I can only hope that the color will wash out of the 2 tank tops. This is my second try with the Enell 100. First time I bought a color and (wrong) size that couldn't be returned (due to discontinuation, I think) but the reviews were so outstanding that I knew I had to give it another try. I like the support but I really dislike the fact that the outside cup seams showed through BOTH tank tops -- a most unflattering look, but it's not a terrible trade-off to get good support. Also, I wear a 32DD in every other bra and even though Enell's sizing chart indicates that 00 is the size for me... it isn't. Size 0 didn't work either. Size 1 did the trick, with just perhaps a teensy weensy bit too much space up top, but all in all a good fit. I'm literally about to wash the bra and then the two tank tops and hope for the best.

I had a rough time getting it on the first time, but after I figured it out, I loved it. I wore it all day because it was so comfortable. Sally from Rome, Georgia USA

I wear a 38GG in a normal bra and ordered a size 3 in this bra. This is the best sports bra I have ever used - hands down! Yes, it's tough to get on, but it needs to be to keep the girls in check! I can breathe, I can move, and I can bounce all I want without worrying about my chest. This is worth every penny spent on it. Antoinette from Des Moines, IA

This bra is a bit hard to get on. But once you hook the first bottom hook and move the girls slightly out of the way, it hooks up easily. It is very comfortable and secure feeling. In watching the bounce test video, I don't think the model was fitted with the proper size, because I saw more bounce than I'd expect from this bra. I'm a 38c and get no bounce from this bra, when I run, the girls move with the rest of my upper body. It also helps with posture, helps me feel straighter. I only have one so far, so there is a lot of wearing and washing (hang dry), it still fits well and looks new. It is worth the money. Debbie from Connecticut

I'm getting back to jogging after an eight year lapse and have been trying to make do with the cheaper "high impact sportsbras" that fit a 46D woman. I was finally so frustrated I decided to invest; I've had this bra one week and I'm back to order a second one! Yes, it's a bear to get those first few hooks done; yes, it smashes you pretty flat; yes, it seems like an iron maiden before you start moving. But it totally changed my running form! Running doesn't hurt, I don't base my stride on minimizing the jarring bounce to my chest, my breasts don't move AT ALL; this must be what running is SUPPOSED to be like. Where was this bra 20 years ago when I started running; and why did I wait so long to purchase this bra?? I'll save my other bras for yoga class... linda from WI

If you are having a difficult time finding a proper fit with this bra because you need a different band/cup size than what Enell offers as standard, you should know that Enell makes custom bras. In standard bra sizes I wear a 36L/M. In Enell sizes, I needed a #3 band and #5 cup. They made me one with those things and with a couple of other changes. I LOVE IT! This is the best-fitting, most supportive bra I have ever owned. I don't have shoulder pain when I wear it and I don't feel like I have to hold on to my breasts when I jump while I am wearing it. AND my breasts don't hurt after strenuous exercise anymore. I am going to order more so that I can wear them as my daily bra. Please, try the standard sizes first, but know that there is another option if they don't fit and you really like this bra.

HerRoom Response: This is correct. Enell will make a custom bra for you for an additional $10 up charge. Just tell them you read about it at HerRoom. T. Turner from Memphis/TN/USA

I bought this for my 16 year old daughter who plays softball. I ordered 2 of the bras for her and a friend of mine who wears the same size has asked to buy one from me. I have also recommended this bra to the mother of another player on the team who wears 3 sport bras during a game. While not all bounce has been eliminated my husband and I are pleased with the result. I must state that my daughters' first reaction after putting the bra on was "this is ugly" and "I don't want to wear this!" After playing 4 games she asked me to talk to the mother of the girl who wears the 3 sport bras. Cindy from Lake View, Al USA

I wear a 36DD and as described in the measurements, I am a size 1. The bra seems to fit my cup area but the ribcage is PAINFULLY TIGHT! I once wore a tight sports bra and had to cut my workout time short because I couldn't breathe. I fear that this bra will do the same. Why so much hype? I have been debating about this bra for a while now and now that I have it in possession I'm sadly disappointed. This sucks! Crystal from Bronx,NY

Boobs stay in place-none or hardly any movement, keeps me dry and love the assortment of colors available Submitted from TheUndies.com

I hunted for weeks for a bra that would do the job- as I am in a full contact kick boxing class- and needed a true compression bra! I couldn't be happier with the Enell sports bra! Comfortable- and actually WORKS! Lori from Carrollton, Texas

My Enell sport bra is great! My test run with it took me 6 miles with little to no bounce; it was comfortable and gave me great posture while I ran. It is easy to get on and off. One thing I did notice, though, is that it was slightly more laborious for me to breathe deeply as the compression on my chest is intense, but I am sure I will get used to that.

I am a 38DD and a new runner. This bra is great for support, no bounce. The only things I don't like are the seams across the front show through my running shirts and getting into it is a bit of a challenge. I also have a Moving Comfort which doesn't have the seams but after my first week of running I had a sore on my clavicle. This doesn't happen with the Enell. Kim from Bel Air, MD

There is some bounce, but it is minimal, and Enell is much more comfortable than 2 bras at once! I feel like I can stand up straighter when I run. Ruthy from NJ, USA

Had to return. Tried size 1, which was too large in the torso, and size 0 which was too small in the cups. I am a 34DD. Louise from New Orleans, LA

It's unfortunate that they lump several different sizes of bra into one size of jog bra at Enell. This bra is simply too big in the cup area. There's way to much fabric in the cup area to stop bounce. The band that goes around the ribs is so tight that it makes breathing uncomfortable. I wouldn't mind if the bra actually worked, but when there is too much fabric in the cup area then it defeats the purpose and you still get a lot of movement when running. They need to tailor these more to EACH persons breast size and not try to lump many different cup sizes (traditional bras) into ONE size for their jog bra. It simply doesn't work and you end up with a mediocre bra. Jen from Essex, VT

I usually buy 36C or 34D regular bras. Based on my measurements, my size for Enell 100 bra is 0. I ordered one and returned it; the cup size was perfect, truly nothing bounced when I moved, but the bottom strip (under breast) was pressing on my ribs VERY hard. I exchanged it for the size 1. The cups were a bit too big... but the ribs were still painfully pressured. In short, the bra holds your breasts pretty well, but at the same time it also "holds" your ribs TOO hard. I returned the size 1 as well and ordered a different brand. Julia from St. Louis, MO

supper dopper support for heavy breasted women...this this works wonderfully for high impact activity Submitted from TheUndies.com

AHHH... No bounce, even for high impact activities!!! Submitted from TheUndies.com

Like others I love the support of this bra and I love the soft fabric, but I am finding that I'm getting a lot of chafing between my breasts about two inches below where the band falls when I'm standing (not running). Altho the bra feels very stable when I put it on, it must be sliding when I run fast. I did try body glide (anti-chafing product) but that didn't seem to help. I do get this with other running bras so it could be just how I'm built, or maybe I ordered the wrong size (?). I wear a 34DD bra so maybe I should have ordered a 0 rather than a 1.

HerRoom Response: You are in the right size. Thank you for this feedback. We don't really know why you are chafing. Kathy

Love it! This is the first sports bra that I have purchased that is actually comfortable. I take a size 38G and it has been so hard finding a sports bra that is comfortable and actually supports me. I love the wide shoulder straps and the back support on this bra. Also, I love the fact that this bra does not have an underwire to dig into my ribs. The only downside to this bra is the price and the smashed look but who cares what I look like when I am working out, as long as it supports me and I am comfortable. Sue from Maryland
