Elomi Women's Bras

In case you don’t read my long review – great bra; works perfect. I finally have a proper sports bra. If you have large breast this is the bra for you. And yes, the other reviews are correct in that you may wear this as a regular bra. However, my review is based on it being categorized as a sports bra. My typical issues with bras come from the fact that I am relatively smaller around but with extremely large cups - 34HH. So, see detailed review below from that perspective.Comfort A+I bought both sizes, 34HH and 36HH just in case – based on sizing recommendations. Both were extremely comfortable. As anyone with large breasts can attest to, underwire bras can feel like the enemy at times. Lots of digging and sticking and scratching. And, even if it fits perfectly the first time, after a few days of daily wear is starts to become uncomfortable. Not this bra. After about a month it has retained is comfort. The material is smooth reducing itching and lacks that side underwire (while retaining support) which typically digs me.Fitness AI workout daily. So, once I realized this would stand up to my workouts, I had to go out and buy a few more. One or two won't be enough if you are working out more than 3 times a week. I have worn it for running (5k max), Zumba, strength training and yoga. During yoga was the only time I found myself constantly adjusting - and this was due to some of the poses we went into. I was pleased to see how well it held up. I was comfortable, with lots of support - no bouncing all over the place. I have been used to sports bras for larger breast that give you one giant uniboob, where everything is sucked completely in and does not move. Somehow, we have defined this as support and this bra dispels that. The bra separates the breasts and has some give so you can breathe but still provides support so your breast isn’t bouncing around and hurting. The tag would move in Zumba and end up showing but that was about it. The smaller (true to fit) size worked better for workouts. See below regarding racer back.Cups A+The cups were perfect. Like many of you, one of my girls is bigger than the other and in my case, significantly bigger. As a result, the smaller one had a small gap in the front which made that breast look more pointy than the other. Which is why I think if your breasts are looking pointy, I would suggest going a cup size down and filling out the cup. The material is very sturdy and strong so it will only change shapes if your breasts are full enough to change the shape and give it a curved look. Otherwise, it will just be the shape of the bra. A few years back I went to bra fitting specialty store and I learned the art of “filling” the bra cup and doing this properly really does make a difference in the shape of your breast – particularly with large breasts that are natural. Note: this is technically a sports bra so the coverage is more than full coverage – if you can imagine. So you will not be able to wear any lower cut or v-neck shirts as it comes pretty high up. No cleavage what-so-ever so keep in mind if you opt to use this for everyday wear. In some of my summer dresses it does come higher than the dress’s neckline.Straps/Racer back BThe straps are board, strong and soft. Lots of support without digging and scaring. If you chose not to hand wash, you may inhibit its ability to not loosen during running so throw in the washer at your own risk. Many of us looked to this bra because of its ability to convert to a racer back. Because, for whatever reason most fitness tops are racer back. This bra does work and retains its comfort in racer back but there are a few drawbacks which is the only reason I removed a star (Note; if this were not categorized as a sports bra I would not have removed a star for the racer back feature). The first is you will need to adjust (lengthen) the straps so you have enough to properly make it a racer back. Doing so prevents the back strap that goes across your back from rising up and weakening support. This means you can’t just throw it on then hook or unhook as you need. You’ll need to decide how you’ll be wearing it and adjust with each wear. Second, you will need to lower the clips/hooks 1) so it is hidden behind most racer back tops which aren’t as high and 2) to keep your posture and support. Once you do those two things, you can successfully wear this is a racer back, be comfortable and retain support. However – you may need a second set of hands to do this successfully the first few times which is a bit inconvenient.Overall, this is the best option I have seen/tried for large breasts. I can’t stress enough that compared to others I have tried, this option is fantastic!

Sizes : 34k and 32k US sizeAt my size it is super hard to find a good bra.After going to a lingerie store and getting fitted, I tried on this bra and bought it. This one is my second purchase because I went down a band size after weight loss but still have the same cup size.I also still use both bras because even the larger band bra is comfortable to use as a house/day bra.First thing I noticed about this bra is it is possible to lay down, roll over on all sides with it on and not be stabbed with underwire while feeling very secure and contained.It holds the breasts close to the body, lifts and separates them.The center underwires do not stab or chafe.It doesn't poke or chafe with movement and the underwire does not stab my upper abdomen or sides when I relax or exercise.It literally feels cool inside when you wear it.It feels super contained and secure and helps prevent shock pain from exercise when you have heavy breasts. The straps are wide enough to support but do not dig in, chafe or cause any pain with heavy breasts.This is my second purchase of this bra and it is the only sports bra I ever felt comfortable in. I went down a couple of sizes on the band after losing some weight but I still use the larger one for yoga type exercise if I want the support with less constriction.Only important note is to wash it regularly especially after each work out because it locks in moisture. I use Forever New delicate fabric wash.5 stars!

This is a really well-constructed bra. I've used them off and on over the years.PROS1. The support is fantastic. I could get shot out of a cannon and the girls wouldn't move. I do a lot of race walking and weightlifting/strength training and I feel really supported during those exercises.2. The material and quality and really top notch and durable.3. I love the convertible straps! Elomi really tries to take care of their BBBC (Big Bodacious Breasts Club) members by giving them options to feel supported and pretty at the same time.CONS1. The hooks on the back and the seams on the end of the bra where the hooks and eyes are can scratch the skin.A few years ago, I race-walked a half marathon wearing one of these and by the time I was done, all the skin on my back where the hook and eye are supposed to lie flat was completely torn off and bleeding. The center of my back was an open wound for days afterwards. I purchased another sports bra brand to try something different after that and recently came back to Elomi because the support can't be beat. Both of the new bras I purchased - same make/model as the one a few years ago, have the same issue of rubbing the skin off in that same spot. For longer usage times, I'm going to try placing something soft like moleskin on there to help.2. If missile-tits are your thing, then you're covered. Otherwise it's not all that flattering on.3. The underwire can be uncomfortable after wearing for a long time. Basically anything over an hour and a half can start to cause issues.Despite some of the issues, I'm going to keep purchasing this brand/model. It really is a great bra, it just needs a few tweaks to make it perfect.
