Champion Women's Motion Control Cross-Back Sports Bra

This is the best sports bra that I have found for high impact activities. I am a 38D and have often had to wear two bras for support. One bra with underwire support so that I don't have a uni-boob and then another sports bra on top so that things don't move when I run, jog, jump, etc. This Champion bra has no underwire but provides the same support with no uni-boob. I love it so much I ordered two in each color: tan, white, black.

This Champion underwire sports bra is one of the most supportive sports bras ever! As a horsewoman, though I no longer compete, I find that wearing solid foundation garments is imperative. This bra "contains" and supports my bust and provides not only greater comfort in the saddle but contributes to a much smoother looking performance (there's nothing like a pronounced "bounce" for spoiling the look of a perfectly lovely horse/rider combination). I did at first, as mentioned in some of the more negative reviews, have trouble getting into and out of this bra. BUT, once it was on, I could wear it comfortably all day. So--I did find a method that, to a degree, simplifies that process. There is still a bit of a "wiggle and squirm", but for those of you who like the bra but hate getting it on and off, here is how I've learned to make it a bit easier. When donning the bra, I do NOT put my arms through the straps. I pull the entire bra over my head and all the way down below my rib cage. Then I twist it around so that the hooks are in front so I can see to fasten the hooks the way I would an ordinary bra. Then I turn it back around to put my arms through the straps and situate the cups. Voila!. But, I do NOT remove it the same way. I reach behind me to unfasten the hooks. Then I hook my right thumb into the outside of the left cup in the armpit and ease it up followed by the same with the left thumb in the right armpit. Once the "girls" are free of the "constraints", I place both arms "cross body", hook each thumb into the opposite cup and am able to pull the bra up and over my head. As I said, there is still a degree of squirming and wriggling but, hey, it's supposed to be a motion control bra and by definition needs to have a somewhat tight fit. I hope this made some sense and gave a little help to anyone who likes the support of the bra but hates to struggle to get into it. Happy horse riding or running or whatever bouncy activity you enjoy!
