Panache Women's High Impact Underwire Sports Bra, Fiery Red, 28HH

I LOVE this bra, BUT you do have to be patient while discovering your correct size.For the longest time, I was a devote wearer of the Maia bra, but it was discontinued. So, I went on the hunt for a new running (high impact) bra.This bra by Panache is BETTER than the Maia in so many ways. Panache has created not only a bounce free and comfortable bra, but an incredible design with the racer back clip feature, and the smart cup compartments. I can do extremely High Impact movements with absolute comfort and zero bounce. That is impressive.Back to the topic on sizing. I wear a 34 DD in all other brands BUT for the Panache bra, I wear a 32 F. This gives me a proper cup fit, and the band is also a good fit. Therefore, I had to order a couple of times to try on different sizes and find the right fit with Panache. And, it was totally worth it.Also, if you want to protect this bra while washing, get a padded lingerie washing bag designed to offer ultimate protection for bras, use mild detergent, hang dry, and **never use fabric softener on this bra. If you do those things, the underwire will stay in perfect condition.I would give this bra 10 Stars... it is a superior high impact bra. Excellent quality and worth the money.

Aaaah... it is time I write a review for my most favorite bra in the whole wide world :-D, after ordering 3 more!My first one I bought in 2012... and have worn it ever since, EVERY single day, taking off only to wash or to put on something fancier for a night out or something. (I even slept in it, sometimes. It was that good! Comfy yet gives great support, lifts and separates - no sweat or uniboob here! Smooth appearance under T-shirt, etc.) It is still wearable, though, one wire poked through, but I just pulled it out and the support level was not affected at all. It is pricey for me, so I haven't bought more until now - caught some on sale, thanks to Amazon. Usually just machine-washed, just air-dried it every time, with some stuffing (or kiddie ball underneath) to preserve the shape during drying.I never before in my life (except before 10 yo, lol) experienced ZERO bounce!! I could run, jump - you name it, and I did. I could be as comfortable as a man, like I had no breasts at all! Now, for that effect, of course the band has to be pretty tight - and some may not like it that way, but it is so worth it! Especially since it's pretty soft all around and does not rub or dig into anything. I forget I even have a bra on (that said, I like to be firmly held), or that I have boobs. I used the farthest hook at first, then (as material stretches - and it always does, with any bras) middle one and now finally tightest hook setting.By the way, this little tip: I recommend considering buying 1 size down (or buying one extra to see how you like it, can always return) and doing the same thing, so the bra will stay fit throughout wear. You can even buy one of those extension pieces that hook onto existing hooks and extend the band by another 1-2", if it's really too tight at first, but that way it will last much longer!Like someone already said, it is extremely important that you know your right size! Most people don't, especially large-busted women, simply because you can't find bras bigger than DDD+ in the stores, and those come on humongous bands. "Professional" consultants" are also no help, as they don't even know that there can be such a thing as 30 FF or 28 G... When I once learned, by reading the measuring tips on bra-specialty online store, things could never be easier! And I swear most women are astonished when they learn their true size!*Just measure your band size directly under your bust (and, if it's odd-inch or half-inch measurement, I'd say: err on the smaller size as bands stretch). Your cup size you find out by measuring around your bust in the widest area (some ladies might want to wear support for true measure when gravity is involved), then subtracting your band measure from that. The difference in inches can tell you the cup size, one inch per cup letter: as in 2" difference is a B-cup, 3" is a C-cup and 7" is a G or FF-cup. And so on.**Also important to know is that, say, 32" vs. 34" bands do not have the same size "D" cups. Larger bands have larger cups for the same size-letter, as they represent - right, the difference in inches, not the actual cup volume in cc's or whatever. Thus seemingly shocking sizes at first. For example, if a woman was forced to wear 34" band (since one can hardly find anything smaller) with DD cups, and her true size was 30" band, the closer fit for that band would likely be G-cups. (usually about one letter up per 2" of band circumference, but not quite)When the size it right, it definitely helps with lots of problems! So your back doesn't hurt, so your shoulders don't get bruised by digging-in straps, etc. By the way, I never even need to use the hook in the back for racer-back bra! It gave enough support without, I did not even know until now about this option! That feature might extend the life of my old bra for another couple of years, I think.

Me: 34dd/ddd; use for CrossFit, running, yard workThe good: this is the best sports bra I’ve ever purchased. I have three and will continue buying until they discontinue. These bras are both encapsulating and compressing. The wires go high on your sternum, which means they’re very supportive to life AND *separate* the girls. Totally necessary for me as I break out in a rash in that area if it’s too sweaty. Adjustable straps and band make it easy to adapt the fit to different times of the month and for different activities (I wear it looser during the day and can “cinch up” for a high impact workout).The bad: the convertible hook to make it racer back friendly is not the most comfortable ever (though very easy to do). It makes the straps sit really high on my traps and is a bit tight. I don’t notice it too much once I start working out tho.The ugly: for some reason, high impact, large busted sports bras all have seams going right down the middle, leaving lines on your shirt. This does the same. Not the end of the world, but not my fav.Overall: wish I could consult with designers to change some details, but hands down the best experience I’ve had with a sports bra.

This product feels really secure and held in everything during a high intensity workout.The straps are thick and durable, and the waist band is tight.Sizing is almost perfect, not as exact as I wanted but not too far off. It’s a little big in the cup area- but not enough to truly be an issue.Delivery was great and product was in good shape!Would order again!

Best braw I've ever owned.

Just perfect! Very supportive, very comfortable and doesn't just squish the girls together into a sweaty uniboob. It is UK sizing so keep your band size and go down a cup size (or use an online converter to get your size) and I found it a perfect fit. Straps are wide and padded so they don't dig in. Underwire is very supportive but comfortable enough that I have worn these bras around the house and even to bed. Will never buy a different sports bra again.

Panache Bras are great quality, and this is no exception. However, the label on Amazon doesn’t match the panache label, so I was sent a cup size too small. Returns are not free either, so be aware of that. Received my order within 3 weeks of purchasing, from the UK.

Great bra. It took a bit of trial and error to find the right size but once found, it’s great. I’ve always worn another known brand but as the other brand doesn’t seem to cater for slim but busty ladies . This has seen me through long runs and a marathon without much chafing and great support. Couldn’t wear it with cross cross back as was putting too much pressure on my neck but absolutely fine the other way. Make sure you tighten your straps properly before a marathon though :-)

Gute Passform und hält alles dort wo es sein sollte! Die Qualität ist auch super gut!
