Goddess Sports Bra Soft Cup gd5056 Reviews

This bra is the worst bra i have ever bought. I returned it at once cause it was too small. Then i got the replacement and it still isn't right. I normally wear an h but read reviews saying the cups ran on the small side so ordered an i. I don't not recommend this bra to anyone. They deferentially lost a customer here. If anyone has trouble finding bras try a local plus size store its better quality. Good luck in your bra search.

Goddess Response: We’re so sorry this style didn’t work for you. You don’t say what was too small, the cup or the band… But if you go up in the band size, to a 48 and keep the cup the same (I) - in your case a 48I - the bra will be a band and a cup size bigger. Also, it’s just as important to adjust your breast tissue into the cups properly as it is to find the correct size and style. Making sure you’re in the bra properly will completely change how the bra fits, and most importantly, how it feels.

Haven't worked out in this yet but I did jog around my house and I can't believe the amount of support I get from this sports bra, interested to see how it holds up in the long run! Very pleased with my purchase thus far!! Tiffany from Orlando, fl

I love this bra! There is only one store in my area that sells these bras and it is 30 miles from my home. They do not have an online store. I was so happy to find that I can order these bras online from HerRoom! Nicole from Corry, Pa USA

This is the best sports bra that I have ever purchased. The adjustable straps and hook options have allowed me to tighten and secure the ladies with my weight loss. I love the fact that there is no underwire and that the materials used are "heavy duty" but comfortable and breathable. I am very happy with this purchase. Janene from Greenwood Indiana

Loved this bra so much that I'm buying another. This is the best sports bra I've found so far. For G size boobs, it's hard to find a comfortable bra that controls bounce but this bra does a pretty good job. Fits true to size. clubnev from Florida

This garment was bought for a lady that is challenged and of larger sized. She sits in a wheelchair daily and crosses her hands on her chest. We have been searching for a bra that would keep her looking nice and tucked into a bra and this has worked out so nice. She is comfortable and she doesn't bulge out anyplace during the day as she did from wearing other bras.It keeps her snug and comfortable and looking nice with her clothes on. It is wonderfully made and keeps it shape with daily washings. I have looked a long time to find something comfortable, durable and practicable for her. Thank you for a well made and comfortable product. Debbie from Mayville, Wisconsin, USA

Awesome bra. I liked this style even before I realized I was wearing too small a size...once I found out it came in bigger cup sizes, I was thrilled! Katie from Texas/USA

I especially like the fabric that takes the wetness away from the skin. At first the fit is a little tight, but it will loosen. Dorothy from Cincinnati, Ohio USA

Band size at least two sizes smaller than my usual.

Goddess Response: This band does run a bit tight as in most athletic bras. For the proper support the band needs to be very snug. You might try the 46G or the Elomi energize bra style 8040, it is a great support exercise bra. Vicki from Oregon

Thanks to this bra, I am able to work out comfortably. I absolutely love this bra! I have very heavy, pendulous breasts which makes it very difficult to exercise. What is nice is the silver thread lining - naturally antibacterial, they are a natural deodorant. I have no chapping, rub marks, etc. This is one of the few bras I have come across that does it's job! Please never discontinue this bra! Lyn from Fremont, CA USA

I feel like the support has changed since the last time I ordered..I was a little disappointed. I expected a more supportive fit. The only time I've ever been disappointed by this brand though.

Goddess Response: Our 5056 is made the same way it’s always been made. Sometimes our bodies go through changes, and even though we may be technically the same size, things shift around and bras that may have worked for us in the past no longer fit the way they used to. Have you perhaps gained or lost weight? If you’re looking for a fantastic super-supportive sports bra, try our Elomi Energize bra 8040. Elomi is UK-sized, so if you wear a 34I in Goddess, you’d wear a 34G in Energize. Jessica from Germany

It's a pretty comfortable sports bra - but I still find myself bouncing a little. Maybe I should have stuck to my original size. Danielle from Olney, MD

I love the bra. I had one before that I used for water aerobics under my swimsuit. This is a different style number and I'm returning it because it is too small. I wish it came in larger sizes. Marchel from Texas

This is by far the BEST sports bra I have EVER purchased. I have purchased probably 6 or 7 of these in the past and have 3 more on the way. DO NOT doubt the size chart! For other bras I have down size to get a bra that will actually hold me in place (let's face it, at a natural 46DDD I am NO member of the IBTC), but this bra WILL suffocate you if you try to go down in chest size. I go down one CUP size (not necessary, just my preference) just to smash them in place because of what I do (I am deployed to Afghanistan). One other thing that doesn’t really bother me much, but tends to bother other ladies is this bra does not separate, so you end up getting the uni-boob, but I’m not really here to pick guys up. Oh, one other thing, if you wear this bra for long periods of time, like myself, the straps tend to “lengthen” throughout the day and you have to tighten them back up again. If it bothers you this can get awkward and annoying, but I will take that over a black eye any day! Another great thing about this bra is it is built to last! I have a couple that I have had for about 3 years now that have been washed/bleached over and over (NEVER DRIED!) and are still very serviceable. They don’t look new, but they are going with me to Afghanistan and have been with me through bodybuilding, weightlifting, etc and STILL work great… Can we say “AWESOME!”? There is only one thing that would make this bra a gift from Nike (the Greek Goddess of Victory!), and that would be if the cups were slightly padded. I don't like it when other people can tell when I am "cold." This bra will hold me up until the cows come home, but if it's cold... Everyone knows! :-( Erin from Tucson/AZ/USA

I had hoped it was better support for the intense exercise I regularly engage in but I was still "bouncy". Delores from Rohnert Park, CA USA

This bra is pretty comfortable. I wear it to yoga. The band is about 2 1/2 inches smaller than my other bras of the same size,so I have to use the widest hooks. to fasten it. The only real disappointment is that there is no separation of the breasts. It's a single space for both, so they're compressed and sweat. Tina from Roanoke VA

Finally a sports bra that fits!! Getting ready for a retreat/training I went to one of the big named national stores and though I would have to leave with my arms up and the largest 38 they had around my head and elbows. HerRoom saved the day! I'm glad that some one realizes that you don't have to be 100 lbs and flat chested to be active and to wear nice fitting and stylish clothing. So glad I found HerRoom!! The bra was perfect support but room enough not to feel a grapefruit made into a pancake. Janet from Hebron CT

I wear this bra around the house & while sleeping. It is not a bra I would wear out & about because it gives a uni-boob look but @ 6 months pregnant & 3 cups sizes bigger I needed constant support without the discomfort of an underwire. Rebecca from machesney park, IL

Ran small, very uncomfortable. Nice construction and material, but did not fit me.

Vendor Response: When purchasing a sports bra keep in mind that the bands usually run very snug to ensure proper support. S from Richmond, VA

This is the first and only sports bra I've ever found that supports a chest as large as mine. Pay attention when it says you need to order the band size up. I ordered up the one size as suggested, but the compression was too much for my personal taste so I just added a bra extender to the back so I can adjust how much compression I want. After having made that minor adjustment, its perfect. Its very comfortable in fact! I am confident I will order more of this bra. BTW HerRoom shipped it very quickly! Heather from California

It might possibly provide little too much compression, but otherwise great. I followed the advice in the description and ordered 1 size larger in the band size, but the bra almost does its job a little too well as they were compressed so much I had a hard time breathing with it on, nothing a $5 bra extender can't fix though. It supports really well even with my large chest! Heather from California
