This is the most comfortable bra I have ever owned. Cannot wait for my second one to arrive! Helen from E. Wenatchee, Washington, Grant

This works for my current purposes (needing a wireless sports bra during pregnancy), however, I found the band size to run smaller than in the underwire equivalent and had to trade up a size (having originally ordered in a 34).

Freya Response: Sunny, we offer a firmer, more structured band in our sports bras which can make them fit slightly smaller than their lingerie counterparts. We’re glad you found a size that works for you and hope that you will enjoy the increased support that this fabrication offers during your activity. Thanks for trying Freya! Sunny from Boston, MA

This is an excellent bra for support & non-movement while exercising or any other vigorous movement. It's almost like a "bullet" bra. It does run small, as they say. That is what helps support you plus there is an inner lining that is u-shaped inside the cup that also helps support you. I use this bra while doing jumping jacks, skipping, Zumba & other active exercises & there is complete support & NO sore chest! :) There is almost NO movement. My only down remark is that I call customer service to help get the right size & I think she could have suggested getting this size to begin with. I originally bought a smaller size & had to return it because it was TOO tight. I was bummed I couldn't do the exercise class I wanted because I didn't have a supportive bra. They were great about the exchange. I had to pay to ship it back but everything was done quickly & smoothly. I will buy from Her Room again. :) Jean from CA, USA

Although this bra is astonishingly ugly and unflattering...it's the only bra I will run in (and has been for the past several years). If you get the size right, you WILL NOT BOUNCE at all when you run. I normally wear a 32D, but I purchased this bra in a 30D - which makes it almost unbearably tight when I put it on. But there's ZERO bounce. That said, I absolutely loathe two things about this bra: (1) the extremely pointy shape it gives me and (2) the seams across the cups (which are very obvious under shirts - and which means I only wear this bra with boldly printed tops that disguise the seams). Love the support...but hate everything else about this bra...and am constantly searching for a different bra that will prevent the bounce just as well - but without the evil seams across the cups.

Freya Response: Victoria, we are sorry you are so opposed to the styling of this bra. We design this bra with seams so structured in order to provide the same support you enjoy up to an H cup. Stay tuned for a new underwire, lightly moulded, and seamless cup sports bra from Freya later this Spring. Victoria from Denver, CO

I ordered this bra in two colors, but sent both back immediately. This is more of a low- to mid-impact fit, though it is listed for high-impact, and definitely gave a bullet-boob look. Not even close to enough support for an H cup that does anything involving plyometrics or running.

Freya Response: We’re sorry to hear your Freya didn’t work out for you this time. Stay tuned for a new Freya Active sports bra that will feature a seam-free cup (similar to AA4891 in a breathable spacer-cup fabrication) and also included an underwire for added support. This bra will be available in a 32H. CB from Alexandria/VA/USA

It didn't fit, band too tight and cups too large. Sent it back for exchange, still awaiting the new shipment. Otherwise the quality looks good.

Freya Response: Annette, we’re happy to hear that you are satisfied with the quality of your Freya sports bra. The firmer fabrication of the band (to accommodate for high-impact activities) may have attributed to the discrepancy in size. Hopefully you will love this feature once you receive the new size. Thanks! Annette from San Antonio, Tx USA

It is the ONLY bra that really fits me that does not have a wire in it. My only wish is it had more cotton and less other products in it. florece from Okc,OK.

I absolutely LOVE this bra!!! I have such a hard time finding a bra that is comfortable, and this bra has superior support, even though it is not an underwire. PLUS, the straps are PERFECT!!! I find that the straps are too far apart on other bras, and constantly slip off my shoulders ... these stay put and are very comfortable. Also, I purchased the nude color, and the bra is virtually invisible under all my clothes. As far as I am concerned, this is the perfect bra, and I will be ordering several more!

While it is not a "pretty" or "sexy" bra - it does the job. I'm nursing... so I use it when I am empty of milk (and thus floppy) and go for a jog or do jumping jacks. Very little bounce and I am not hurting afterwards. It is tricky getting nursing pads in there... but it is not marketed for nursing moms. Shelley from NY

This is the only bra EVER that the shoulder straps don't fall down. I am so absolutely ecstatic about that, and I've bought four of them already. Sherrill from Durham, North Carolina, U.S.A.

excellent fit and support. have used this bra in a smaller size for about 3 years for working out. Very supportive for hard workouts and running. cheryl from usa

Excellent support for sports activities in a very hard-to-find size; softcup fits me much better than the underwire version. Jackie from Medford/OR/USA

LOVE this bra - no wires to poke me while i exercise and its super comfortable!! and the straps are further in the middle of the bra so it stays put - no straps falling down - i have 3 in different colors! aka from Arlington, VA

I love the support of this bra. The band is short so I have to go up a size in the band and down one in the cup. I usually wear 28H. This bra fits well for me in 30G. BBME101 from Gainesville, FL

Very pleased with this sports bra so far. Being larger chested, I am used to an underwire...especially in my sports bras. This bra is a nice change without the underwire...pleasantly surprised. I have used this in my yoga class and have no issues with holding the girls in place. I would probably not run a marathon in this bra as it still has some 'bounce' to it. I will buy another one of these soon. Carolyn from Woodland Hills, CA

A great sports bra for larger breasted women. They last well and continue providing great support no matter the sport. I life, do cardio, play racquetball, and have even done a triathlon wearing this bra. Just wash in a lingerie bag with non lye soap and let it air dry. Gina from Kansas City, MO, USA

I will not know on size for at least another week because I ordered it for my daughter in Serbia and sent it to her the middle of last week. The construction on the bra and its style were excellent. Lee Ellen from Crossville, TN

The band size is way off. I measured carefully a couple times and ordered my size. The band is at least six inches too small. The cups are about right; now to find my real size in this brand. It appears to have good construction and the material is soft. I am a nursing mom and haven't owned a 'regular' bra in many years. I knew the general sizing was different, but didn't expect it to be this far off. Emily from Sand Point, AK, USA

I LOVE THIS BRA!! I was really having a hard time finding a sports bra and thought I had to go with an underwire one, but I was wrong. This bra is super comfortable and seriously minimizes bounce. I agree with another reviewer who said they would wear it all day. I would, but the seams are very noticeable and it gives you a bit of a pointy look, as well as being very high cut. I've noticed that this bra is small in the band and the cups. I'm usually a 28FF and sometimes a 30 in Freya and a 30G is perfect in this bra for me. I also have it in a 28FF that I couldn't return from another store, and use it with a bra extender, but the cups are a touch small and I've found that makes the pointy boob syndrome much worse in these. The underwire version is nice as well, with a more generous cup, but I find the wires will dig into my ribs after a while. In short, ladies, if you feel like it's too tight and pointy, go up a cup size or two. You won't be sorry! Jessica from Manchester, CT USA

Excellent support and comfort. As with all sports bras, the shape is not all that flattering (but better than most!) It gets the job done without discomfort associated with other sports bras I have tried. I bought 2 more because I like to wear them at home when I am doing yard work and other heavy chores.

Everything is great about this bra...Except that even though it is in the same size as the other bras I recently bought (which fit great) I am getting major spillage out the sides of the cup. I don't know if I will keep it because it will do its job, but it doesn't look good because of the spillage and doesn't feel too great because of that either. I don't know why this happened :(

Freya Response: It’s difficult to comment as I don’t know which other bras you bought. If you are willing to try an under-wire bra, you could try Freya 4002: The cups run slightly larger. If you need a still bigger cup, you might try our Elomi Sports Bra 8040 which gives wonderful support and goes to a J-cup! A from Orlando, FL

I have a hard time finding sports bras because of my size. This one fits and is comfortable. I have done yoga and bike riding and elliptical and weight lifting in it. No problems. Not sure how it would perform in high impact. But I don't do that because of previous injures. Anyway only complaint is it does make me look pointy. But once I put on my workout clothes you really don't notice it. I would recommend it for large chested women. Liz from Chicago IL USA
