Freya Women's full_coverage

This year, I've been on a search for the perfect sports bra to start running. I wear a size 34DDD+, and obviously, I can't buy anything off the rack. The S/M/L sizes are terrible because they are either too loose around the rib cage or don't have enough coverage for the ladies. This bra doesn't have that problem.Unfortunately, though, this bra didn't provide the support it boasted. I jumped up and down, and I definitely felt my girls jumping up and down with me. Painful! If you're looking for a yoga bra or something you can wear to lifts weights, go for it. Otherwise, choose something else. I recommend Wacoal's Sport CONTOUR bra. It's magic for us big-busted ladies.

I ordered 2 different sizes for this bra and recieved 2 completely different bras. Either one is a fake or they switched the product and were selling a different one the second time i ordered. The first one was high quality just too tight around the band which i find is typical for this brand. The second looked and felt cheaply made and had no padding.

So, I've been wearing Freya for athletics for a few years. I ordered a new one in my usual 36, and it was a bit tighter than I prefer, so I went up to 38, and I could not even come close to fastening it! I double-checked, the label says '38', so clearly something else is out of whack. Obviously, the larger band size should have been LESS tight. Now - since I've worn Freya for awhile, I have doubts about the authenticity of the product I received - but honestly, could not find any indication (other than the aberration of the fit) that this wasn't a true Freya. It looks real - but I'll be re-ordering from a company that can guarantee that I'm getting an authentic Freya.

I measure about 29 inches in my rib cage, but had to go for the 30 size band because it wasn't available in 28. Sport bras tend to run tight, so I hoped I could make it work. But as usual, Freya band runs like 2 sizes too large. Freya makes bras with comfortable materials, but I can't say much about the support on this one because I couldn't get a good fit.I truly hope bra manufacturers start coordinating their sizing so we know what we're getting when we order (and also broaden their size range)!

Im normally a 34H but, due to pregnancy, have gone up to a 36K. The cup fit great - full coverage, comfortable, no spillage. It held me up and gave great support BUT there were several key issues that ruined the bra for me.I have smaller shoulders (im not broad in the slightest). This bra has the straps situated to come out further on the shoulder, insinuating that large breasted women must be broad. When i placed the straps where they are comfortable and should go, it was uncomfortable. When i placed the straps out on my shoulders the material left a gap around my arm pit.The WORST part, though, is the wire comes up and through the center to the top of the bra. I carry most of my weight at the base/bottom of the breast which fills out the cup but doesnt allow for the wire to sit flat against my chest. I ended up having a gap between the bra and my chest where it should have laid flat. It ultimately felt like, if you're a smaller framed woman, this was not for you.The last thing, which wasnt a big issue but should be noted, is that the shape of the cup/breast was pointy. That may be a personal thing, but I find it ugly. I like more of a rounded shape. The way the bra is manufactured and stitched makes the pointy shape more pronounced, although its not as noticeable when you have a shirt on.Overall, I had high hopes for this bra as its super hard to find a 36K but its not for small frames. The cup was great and supportive, but there were too many things wrong.

I love Freya, and this style did not disappoint. The first time getting it on was a struggle, I'd admit, but once on, it was perfect. My Freya Deco size is 28-30GG and I go to a 30G with the sports bras. The 32, I've found, is too large in the sports bra, and the 30 fits just right after it gets worn once.I can run and do high impact activity with no bounce or discomfort. I personally find this bra quite comfortable to wear throughout the day. It does give you a pointy shape that isn't the most flattering, but I also appreciate that my breast are kept high with encapsulation and not compression and that they stay there while wearing this.

I was so surprised when I put this bra on, at first the band seemed really tight (about 5 minutes) and then unbelievable comfort and support.This bra literally lifted and supported me like no other, it made me feel "light" (hard to do in a 34F).I tried jumping up and down in front of a mirror (Just to see how much "bounce" there was) and while there was movement it was minimal, the support and protection was extra-ordinary. The only con for me is the "pointy" 50's look of the cups but I think that is why it is soooo supportive. I love this bra, I'd wear it work except for the aforementioned "pointy" look!!!!If you are looking for a really great sports bra and want full support this is the bra to buy!!!Update: July 25, 2013 - I have had these bras for several months now. They continue to do an excellent job!!! I still really love these bra's, so very comfortable and supportive. The best sports bras I've ever worn. Buy this bra, you will not be disappointed!!!

I got this because it reminded me of my favorite “Inspire” sports bra from Bravissimo. It fits very similarly, but the materials are different. This one does not have a nice firm stretch to it, like the Inspire does in certain places. I wear my bra somewhat tight for sports and when I pulled to put my arm through the last strap, I heard a snap which I assumed was some stitching tearing maybe from the bra not wanting to stretch. The fabric is also not as thick or soft because there is a place around the band where I start to feel just a little scratched or poked by the end of the day. I can hear a little creaking noise throughout the day as I move (probably the underwire rubbing the fabric) due to the type of materials it’s made of. Other than that, it’s pretty ok.

Actually, I was so pleased with this style of bra that I ordered another one.However, the second one was poorly finished and didn't fit well, so I sent it back, using their returns label and via Royal Mail (I had to pay postage myself) for an exchange. That was over 2 weeks ago and I've still heard nothing. So, in fairness, when I then get a request to leave a review, I feel I have to tell the whole story.I still don't know whether a replacement bra will have the same fault as the second bra, or be a perfect fit, like the first one.What I can say is that I am very disappointed in the Customer Service.As a PS, I should say that I received a nice, apologetic reply from Boobydoo after I emailed them again, and a replacement bra arrived the same day. It is perfect and an excellent fit, so I'm happy to change my 3 stars to 5 stars.

I wasn’t sure about underwire in a sports bra but the irritation from this is far outweighed by the support and motion control it provides. I have an F cup so struggle with finding sports bras that actually control the bounce but this one does.I’ve run 6 miles in it with no problems but I would like the shoulder straps to be a bit wider.

I have always had a very big bust andfound it difficult to buy bras because I have a very small back. This one looked massive on arrival, but Oh my goodness this is the first bra that has fitted me properly. Having been to bra fitters and allsorts who have tried to squeeze my rib cage into painful under bust bands. This is just fabulous!! And so comfortable, close fitting to every part of my bust and fabulous support. I am so pleased with my purchase and I would definitely recommend it, especially if you have a big bust and a small back. Wonderful. Definitely going to get more.

Amazed by this bra , I'm size 36 D which makes jogging a bit embarrassing, I've been wearing a "shock absorber " running bra but it seems to just flatten and squash me, this bra gives me back a flattering shape with incredible support . Very happy with th bra and the sales support was great too

I have two of these same bras I have used for ten years of training and bought this as security! The fit is perfect still. I’m blessed with an ample bust and such bras are very hard to find. Freya do it for me every time
