ENELLWomen's Full Coverage High Impact Sports Bra (100)

History/Experience:I have struggled to find a good sports bra for my large chest since I was in middle school. Growing up playing soccer really made it hard to adjust when things started bouncing more. My mom (being smaller busted) also struggled to help me find a solution. Keep in mind, this was before the internet/google/amazon days. I finally settled on "doubling-up" when getting ready for a game or practice - which was a daily occurrence. Looking back now, that was terrible. I could barely breath correctly, getting in and out of two very tight bras was a nightmare not to mention quite embarrassing. So, playing soccer ended soon after I became more full-figured.Recently (at age 23) I started running, having my new sports bra from the sporting store, made "specifically for larger breasts". Well, that was a crock. Sorry, but bras off the shelf just don't cut it. After researching and reading about several of the newer sports bras on the market, I decided upon the Enell. I was careful not to get my hopes up too much however, because I didn't I could ever wear something that truly cut out the bouncing, but I remained hopeful. I measured, remeasured and finally ordered my new bra. As soon as it came, I had to go run around the neighborhood to give it a try. Oh, the joy of running!The Real Product Review:I am VERY HAPPY with the Enell. I can finally jog/run and truly enjoy what the sport has to offer, without worrying about hurting myself or being out of breath from non-stop chest thumping! The bra is quite tight but I think that is a necessity. I still move a little bit but since my breasts are held very close/tight to my chest, the up and down motion is very minimal. It took a few days of getting used to but now I love putting on my Enell (I always lay down to hook the clasps - much easier!) I love the tight feeling across my back when I am wearing it. I have even worn it all day at the zoo and other family activities. So easy, so comfy and SO worth every penny. The greatest thing, I don't have think twice when chasing the toddler! I don't have to worry anymore about wanting to enjoy an impromptu game of frisbee or catch at the park. I can run and play with the kiddos comfortably and confidently.I would recommend the Enell to anyone with a larger bust that is tired of having to deal with improper support, doubling-up and not being able to breath, having constant chest-thumping when exercising, or just wants to feel better when playing with their kids. It has truly become one of my most essential pieces of clothing. As for the price: Yes, it seems expensive for a sports bra, but seriously, how much did you pay for your gym sneakers? I believe that this is just as essential to your workout wardrobe as your shoes. Maybe more since there are plenty of things you can do barefooted! Try it, feel the difference, find your stride, and go for it. You will be amazed at the difference proper support makes on your entire workout, attitude, and confidence! I have been using this bra for over 4 months now and still love it.Note: I launder my bra in a lingerie bag (to wash and dry). It keeps other clothing from getting tangled in the clasps and ripping them out. This is a good trick for all of your bras since the larger size you need, the more expensive they are! Also, I dry mine in the dryer since that helps to "shrink it back up" after use. So far, I have never had a problem and I'd say I have washed it well over 100 times using the lingerie bag.

I am now the proud owner of two of the size 4 Enell sports bra. I use each for running, and they are perfect. No bouncing at all. The bra took a little getting used to because the bra actually holds things up with no sagging, which is not something other bras have done. That's why these bras are perfect! I have read other reviews where purchasers have difficulty putting the bra on, so let me share what I have found to work for me. I begin hooking it closed from the bottom. I hold my thumbs on the inside panels and grasp the edges with my other fingers from the front. Sometimes I bend over, and as I go upwards with the hook and eye connections, I alternately push my breasts inside and into comfortable positions. I continue hooking the bra closed bottom to top. No problems. It took me a few tries to find this way that works for me. Now I am so used to doing it this way, that it takes seconds. My bra size is not normally as indicated on the manufacturer's charts, but I think my regular bra sizing is incorrect. I followed the Enell measurement instructions to determine the size of the sports bra exactly, and the size they recommended is just fine. It is a tighter fit, but that is why I wanted this bra. I don't want any bouncing. The bras are expensive but definitely worth the price, and I anticipate that they will last a long time. I am about to purchase a 3rd one so that I have one for each of my 3 running days. I highly, highly recommend this product. It's the best sports bra for running and high impact sports activities that I have ever found.

I'm not sure what came over me, but I was talked into running a half marathon by my friend next year. I had to get training asap. I had done other high impact exercises in my existing sports bras with no problems. I finally worked my way up to 5 miles (1 hour) and bam! The underside of my breast were eaten up! The skin had been rubbed off to show the white meat! I was shocked that had never happend before, and I was in a panic to try to find something that would work to keep the girls safe. (Instead of quitting, which I would normally do :-)) I searched the internet and read all the reviews about this bra and decided to order from Amazon becasue as usual they had the best price. I went to their website to get my sizing correct and was a 4. Like another reviewer said, it is easier to lie down to put it on, and I was leary about all the hooks. But, it's pretty easy to get on that way and it feels like the bra is holding you in place well. I jumped up and down a bit and was disappointed at the amount of movement I still felt. I expected the girls to be held firmly in place. But if I went down another size, I wouldn't be able to breathe. Anyway I hooked myself in and went for my first 5 miles. No chafing! It feels comfortable and the wide straps keep the bra from digging into your shoulders from the bounce. The bouncing is limited, but not as much as I would have liked so I'm disappointed in that aspect. But still better than my old sports bras and so far doing their job well. So far they have held up well after washing. I wash and then hang/air dry to try to keep them in good shape, because they are kind of pricey. But so far worth it. By the way I'm a 40DD.

Great support and coverage.

I still have a little jiggle

Fits well but has awkward seams which only matters if you are wearing the kind of shirt which shows them. Is an excellent sports bra but super expensive.

I have 2 of these bras and I love them. I have a very large bust and this bra manages to keep the girls secure enough for my horseback riding and zumba class. The only complaint about the bra I have is the seam above the breast shows through every shirt I wear and it looks a little strange, so I try to wear very loose fitting sports tops

super support - can do anything with this bra on!
