Natori Sports Bra 34439 Reviews

You're reading this review just like I read them all, before finally, making a selection. And if this is any encouragement, I'm so glad I "listened"!! I have had a horrendous time finding a good fit (because of my 4'10''/110# frame, with a small back and torso) and this bra tops (no pun intended) them all! (Even the "Moving Comfort" that I thought was the best...no longer!) I love the softness; it actually feels good!(all day!) This bra has something none of the others had, (which is one of the reasons why I decided to try it); high sides to just under the arm (I hate "hanging out"!) and a high front that actually covers my chest and holds me, without THAT hanging out, also. The bra covers!! And when one has this kind of volume to contain, isn't that what we want?! I just love to put my bra on in the morning and can actually wear this all day long without feeling strain on my shoulders, it's so comfortable; finally! The reason why I gave it 4 stars was because of the way the back hooks were designed. Although they were ingenious and very well thought out, the hooks threatened to slide out at the end!(And did hurt just a little). I rectified the problem by handstitching it secure, as I need the very top hook, anyway. The hurt went away!(This bra is not cheaply made; I was impressed...made spending the money worthwhile). Fortunately, because I can sew, I was able to adjust the strap which was way too long from my back to front, cutting off the access. I was blessed by the thoughtful way in which the packaging was done, at the receipt of my goods. And the "bra-fitting made easy" part of the search process on this website made me feel like I was dealing with a company that really knew their business. I sure learned a lot about some of the mistakes I'd made in the past, trying to find a good fit. This bra is exactly what I wanted!! I did not buy it for any sports-related activities; just normal life. It could seem skimpy to someone who is taking a "severe" jog, but for me(and I do trampoline without flopping), the fit overall is my desire-for-a-bra come true! I'm going to order another as soon as I pay this one off. HappyCamper from Virginia,USA

I would give this one 5 stars for comfort, fit, support, and overall look. No strange seams, natural shape with nice coverage. The only problem is that the hooks are flimsy. They have bent or simply fallen off. I have the bra in 3 colors and have had to replace hooks on all three. This has not happened on any other bras I've owned. It's a pain--I hate sewing--but I really do love this bra otherwise. Sadie from USA

The fit for me was not right. I have since found that I am a 34G, in other Natori styles. I do not know if was because the size was wrong or whether my short torso was the issue. The band fit well, the cup size seemed fine but the center gore seemed fine at the bottom but was too tall, and curved away as my sternum curves in. Liz from Washington

Even though I had to wait for my products I was very satisfied with my order. I did receive emails on the progress of my orders in a timely matter. The bra is terrific - love the way they feel and hold me. Thank you. Regina from Virginia Beach, VA

The straps are too long, even with adjusted to the maximum.

Natori Response: This particular sports bra is a full coverage style. If someone is petite, I always suggest criss-crossing to shorten the straps. The Natori Power Yogi Convertible Sports Bra 731050, our newest Natori sports bra, has the option to criss cross the straps in the back. diane from harkness

Love this sports bra! Works very well for jogging and chasing grandchildren. The great surprise is how comfy and attractive it is. I intend to order more for daily use-shapes beautifully and so easy to wear! Becky from Little Rock

I love the Natori 34439 Sports bra, and hope they never stop producing it. I'm one of those women who has needed an underwire since I was 13, and if there's bounce when I'm working out, it hurts! With this bra, not only is there no bounce on the elliptical trainer or exercise bike, it's so comfortable I sometimes wear it when I'm not planning to go to the gym!

I was so excited to get this sports bra but it turned out to be a huge disappointment! This bra is completely mislabeled as "high impact". If I try to jump or run my breasts bounce all over the place. I can't run for more than five minutes without it becoming painful from all the jiggling. Additionally, based on photos, I expected this bra to pull my breasts apart but it squishes them together in a way that is VERY uncomfortable when I sweat. This bra doesn't do any of the things it's supposed to. If I had been looking for a bra to wear to yoga or pilates this one would be fine, but I need something I can be active in without being in pain. The only conclusion I can come to is that this bra was designed for smaller chested ladies. As I can't return/exchange this one the only thing I can do in the future is not buy any more Natori products. SO disappointed.

Natori Response: It sounds as though the bra is at least a cup size small. If the bra is painful, the underwire is probably on breast tissue and the cup is too small. Natori will be offering a new high impact sport bra (style 731050) available in December 2012 that may be a good alternative style to try. Nicole from Sacramento

I have used this item before. It is the ONLY sports bra I would wear. Very happy with this item and your services. Fit is great! Please don't stop making this item! THANKS! Sharon from Kirkland, Wa. USA

full coverage very nice. runs small, but that's perfect for me. Maureen from Oakland, CA

Only complaint is the stiff thread used to stitch along the straps and edges causing an irritation. I'm trying to come up with something I can use to cover it. Otherwise the bra is what I was wanting. WGB from Alaska

I have worn Natori exercise bras for years, but there has been a noticeable improvement with the stretch of the cotton fabric. I had large natural breasts which the Natori worked wonderfully for, but I have now had breast reconstruction following bilateral mastectomies and the flatter, wider shape of the implants make it a little difficult to find form fitted exercise bras that work. These Natoris are perfect for me and provide wonderful support for all types of physical exercise from walking to Zumba. Shelle from OKC, OK

It felt very tight from the back and the ribs and the cups will let the nipple show. Had to return it.

I am very pleased with this bra! It feels snug, but not tight. I can wear it all day without discomfort. This bra gives a great shape without mashing, or the dreaded uniboob look. I highly recommend it, and am very pleased with my purchase. Krista from Faber, VA

I hate this bra and would not call it a "sports bra" on any level. The material is stretchy and provides no support. If I hadn't removed the tags, I would return it. I will stick to Moving Comfort bras. Linda from hayward, CA

I'm pretty sure I got the right size, so I was disappointed when I wore this bra. It is very comfortable, but the underwire comes up very high and sticks out at the top in the front. It looks weird under my clothing. It also didn't keep me from bouncing as mush as I would have liked either. I do alot of horseback riding and can't seem to find the perfect bra.

Beautifully made but only offers low-to-mid level support. OK if standing still (I wear this for yoga). But doesn't keep me from bouncing in low level activity, like walking the dog. Chris from USA

I love this bra. There are 2 reasons I cant give it 5 stars. One: it doesnt control bounce as well as the Lunaire coolmax underwire bra so I still have to wear 2 bras for running. For anything lower-impact than running, though, it's great. Two:one of the open slider-type hooks for the shoulder straps slips off one of the straps occasionally. It's annoying but not a complete deal-breaker. I'm willing to put up with a few quirks since it's ridiculously comfortable. em from bay area

This is by far the most comfortable and supportive sports bra I have ever owned. My only complaint is that it is not offered in more colors! allison from maryland

Useless as a sports bra for my 'flexible' post-menopausal breasts. The fabric is soft and comfortable like a cotton t-shirt with not much more support. I had swaying just walking. I kept it only because I had to do gardening that day and didn't want to sweat up one of my regular bras. BTW, I really wear a 34DDDD but since that isn't made, I hoped the bigger band would work with a DDD. (This strategy worked with Moving Comfort Maia -- a GREAT sports bra for large soft breasts.)

This bra is everything I wanted. Supportive, with "lift & seprate" not just a blob of flesh in front. Fits and feels great the straps cross over in the back. Everything I wanted. Reatha from Kihei, HI

This is a very supportive bra, but it is pretty snug! I always wear a 34 DDD, but I wonder if I should have bought the 36 DDD? I will wear it anyway because I don't feel like returning it. It does the job very well, yikes!!! Anita from Redondo Beach, CA

I bought three Natori bras (black, white, and grey) from herroom in 2006 and wore and washed them regularly. They still look and feel fine but are a bit stretched out, so I decided to buy new ones. The black Natori bra that arrived a few days ago is just as well made as the older ones. It's comfortable and I'm sure will last a long time. Ouzel from San Francisco, CA
