Very supportive bra. Initially I ordered the cup size recommended by the Freya sizing chart (which was one size smaller than my normal size). It was too small so I exchanged it for my normal cup size which fits much better. Erin from Bryan, TX

Well, I haven't fully decided that I'm keeping this bra. It does a great job at limiting movement and it's comfortable, and I like the color combo. But holy cone shaped boobies, batman! It's just so...pointy. I'll probably keep it, because it really does do a great job mitigating bounce, but it certainly won't be one I wear running around town. It fits exactly like all the Freya bras and swimsuits I own, which is probably 85% of my bra wardrobe. Jade from TX

Ok in a size 38F you can't expect a sports bra to look that great, so the fact that this gave me quite a pointed look is why I only gave it 4 stars. Otherwise, I wear it with the Champion double-dry reversible sports bra over it, and the combo keeps me from bouncing and is fairly comfortable. kjohn from sitka, ak usa

I normally wear a 36DD but had to up a cup size with this one. I am grateful for the coolmax fabric, and will update my review once I give it a try in the hot weather. The bra is very comfortable and there is no bounce---YAY!!! Be sure you adjust the straps. Jackie from North Huntingdon, PA

Love the fit. It has always been hard to find a sports bra that doesn't make me fall out of it. I'm a busty woman and this bra provided all the support and coverage I needed. I couldn't be happier. Eva from Beaverton, OR USA

This bra gives a ton of support, it feels like armor. I get a little boob squashage at the top, so maybe next time I will order one cup size larger. I wear 32F in my regular Freya bras, but with quite a bit of cleavage. So keep that in mind when choosing your size I guess. But, I use this bra for running, so I would rather have it too tight than too loose. It's not comfortable at all, but it serves the purpose of holding the boobs still during high impact exercise.

Great support holds the girls in their place.. the only minus in this bra is the fact that the cups seem shaped like cones.. so u get the feeling that the breasts are going different directions. monika from wheeling, IL USA

This is a fantastic sports bra. No bouncing, very firm support, and I actually still have a figure while working out! It does really lift, so it's a big change from other sports bras, but I love it! Great red color. Jessica from United States

I wear only Freya and Fantasie bras as my size is a difficult one to fit properly. This is my first "Sports Bra". It is very comfortable and snug fitting; can be worn alone or under clothing. The only caveat, and this may be because it's a sports bra, is that the straps had to be at their longest length to it properly. This is fine, but if you are a taller (longer torso) woman, this could be an issue. VegasShopper from Las Vegas, NV

Great bra!!! Lots of support without giving you that uni-boob look. Plan to order a couple more. Katie from Langlois, OR USA

Great bra. Freya is my go to sports bra. I have another Freya underwire sports bra. Freya has the support I need for high-impact aerobic classes and doesn't bind. Diana from Chicago, IL

Not so good at Bounce Control. Not as good as the elomi sports bra.

Freya Response: The Freya sports bra is a great bra and the Elomi sports bra is great as well. Some customers prefer one over the other, but is a 38 band in a GG the Elomi is probably a better choice for you. It has more support and extra fabric at the top of the cup to keep you from spilling over!!! Glad you like the Energize bra in Elomi!! jkbike from Reston, VA

I really like this bra; I have owned it before but that was before I got properly fitted so I decided to order in my new-found size (28FF). I noticed that some people were saying the band was too tight so I actually ordered the 30F. On me, the band was actually too loose and I could easily put it on the last row of hooks. The cup seamed ok but was a little baggy because the band was too big. I reordered in a 28FF and hoping this solves everything :) Otherwise the material is great and the support is soo much better than the rinky-dink "sports" bras I had previously been wearing.

Great Support and no uni-boob look! I have worn this in jazzercise, ballet class and zumba workouts and the support has been great. I have tried numerous sport bras and this one is by far the best for support and overall comfort. The only area that is a bit uncomfortable is the band around my chest is a bit scratchy but I believe that is due to newness. I'm ordering another one today! Teresa from Birmingham AL

Freya is my favorite sports bra; minimal bounce and bright color. I do not mind the slightly conical shape of the cups on this bra, but others might. Caroline from VA

the bra looks good on and is comfortable as a sports bra and as a daily bra. my only hesitation is that it says don't dry it in sun or in dryer and air drying takes a long time in a moist climate, esp for those of us who wear them daily sophia from San Francisco

This bra does as advertised. Absolutely no bounce or movement. Liz from Prescott/AZ/USA

Very supportive and gives decent shape for a sports bra. Almost eliminates bounce even for a giant chest during vigorous running. Docked it one star because the sides are so high they dig into the armpits, but otherwise fairly comfortable without excessive compression. Rashae from Anchorage, AK

Great bra. Great for the gym, salsa, Zumba.... This is a great bra, great support, great fit and keeps you completely in place. I would definitely recommend this bra. Pam from Beverly, MA USA

It really was too small. I was presumptuous in believing that all the other women didn't know their size. All my bras are 38d. I guess I'll just keep them for when I lose weight. rocio from montebello

This bra is beautifully built but has a very retro, pointy cup shape. I'm not sure if this is for support or is the style. The support/bounce-prevention are truly incredible, but the shape is not appropriate or attractive for my cup size. The 34 is not what I ordered--I ordered a 38 because the 36 was too small. Incredibly the cups were too large the first time--that doesn't happen to me very often. I'm a bit frustrated trying to get the right size and have spent $1000 on bras without having one that really works yet. I think the site is beautiful but needs more direction and a live chat on the bras that one orders. Especially if someone starts sending back items and ordering another size.

VERY COMFORTABLE; GIVES GREAT SUPPORT AND NICE SHAPING ONE DOESN'T USUALLY FIND WITH THIS TYPE OF BRA. I AM GOING TO ORDER ANOTHER. JEAN from HOBART, IN

Well, i think the bra looks great, I ordered it in charcoal and i really like the idea of two defined breasts instead of a breast shelf, and so I ordered this bra with high hopes. I put it on, it felt snug, but not uncomfortable, but it did squish my boobs up into my armpits, which made me think I might have needed a bigger size (yikes!), even though I ordered one cup size up from what I normally wear. That said, i tried it on and ran up and down my staircase a bunch of times. it chafed like crazy and has almost an itchy feeling on your skin. The chafing, even in just 4 times up and down the stairs let me know that after a run i would likely be raw under my boobs. I took it off to see if there was something inside the cups that I forgot to remove that was causing the weird itchy feeling. Nothing! Now, granted it may be something sprayed on the fabric that needs to be washed out, but I didn't take the chance. Return to sender!

Freya Response: 4392 features a “cool max” fabric which wicks moisture away from the body, keeps you cool and dry, and it dries five times faster than cotton! This is the first time I’ve heard the bra feels itchy. We do recommend washing a bra before wearing. 4392 is designed to shape and lift the bust, rather than compressing the breast tissue. (Of course it must be the correct size in order to be able to do the job properly!) If you felt your breasts were being “squished” up into your armpits, it sounds as if indeed, the cups were too small. laura from manchester ct usa

Not the most comfy bra to wear but once you get use to wearing it that's not such a big deal. Great support for running and being active! Bridgette from New York

I have to use the second row of hooks, but the cup size is good and gives nice center division. Works well for aerobic exercise. Mary from Inver Grove Heights/MN

Love it! It has great support, no movement when I'm bending over, jumping around, etc. The only complaint I have is that it is very itchy, but I'm hoping after a couple of washings it will be better. Heather
