from Columbus, OH on 1/17/2008
I have been working out doing some weight training as well as some high impact aerobics for about 9 months and I have been really having a hard time keeping size 42DDD breasts from bouncing around painfully. I decided to give this bra a try and while my breasts aren't totally immobilized, the support is very good. I'm able to do a lot more exercises without flopping around and having to hold my breasts with my hands! It's not a "comfortable" bra, but I didn't expect it to be - it has to be too tight for comfort, but that is okay.
from Somers, NY on 1/11/2008
I just started working out and was terrified of jogging on the treadmill, until I discover this bra!!!
It is the best support ever and is not uncomfortable at all and I love running on the treadmill. Who knew a bra could do that for me.
I bought three and have no regrets!

Great Bra. It is snug as it should be for exersize. If you are ordering for every day order one size up. My daughter rides horses and is a 40DD. She wears her Enell's all the time because they make her look smaller in the chest. She is in Middle School and is more confident in the Enell. Do not hesitate to spend the Money! Oprah did and she feels the same way we do!

I HAVE WORN ENELL SPORTS BRAS FOR AT LEAST FOUR YEARS. I AM A 40DDD AND PARTICIPATE IN HIGH-IMPACT AEROBICS, AND I HAVEN'T FOUND ANYTHING TO COMPARE TO THE FIT AND SUPPORT OF ENELL. I COULDN'T EXERCISE WITHOUT ONE! THE FIT SEEMS SNUG AT FIRST, BUT YOU QUICKLY GET USED TO IT. I MACHINE-WASH MINE IN A LINGERIE BAG AND LINE DRY; THEY LAST ME ABOUT TWO YEARS.

from North Carolina on 1/4/2008
I bought this bra to control bouncing while I was dancing. It did not do that at all, in fact I bounced more. It does not fit right under the arms which might explain no support. also the bottom of the band rolls up and this is not comfortable. I am disappointed in this bra. [...]

from Tampa, FL on 1/2/2008
I have bought this bra for the past 3 years, they wear like iron and feel natural. I have every colour. I sure get my money's worth. It is hard to find a good support bra in bigger sizes. Most companies make good support bras in larger cup sizes but not in the larger band sizes. It would make sense to make the larger cup sizes in the larger band sizes. This bra does both.

from Central Florida on 12/23/2007
I am DDD cup and really was frustrated about the lack of support I was finding in sports bras. I finally bit the bullet and bought the Enell and love it! The girls are locked in and happy when I'm jumping around, etc.

from Westchester, NY on 12/13/2007
I have recently returned to the gym after a hiatus of many years. I was so afraid of the treadmill, primarily because when running my chest would bounce all over the place.
Then entered this bra, I bought three and I love them. There is no jiggle, (at all). It is comfortable and now I love running and working on weights in them.
Oh and the Unaboob look,is not that bad. The good far outweighs this one con!

The girls are not completely motionless -- but they're probably as stationary as they can be while I'm in motion.

This Bra, while not really fashion conscious is the best that I have worn. It holds my 36 DDD breasts firmly not allowing any bounce. Also, when I wear it my back and shoulders don't hurt! This has been a problem with sports bras in the past.

As a 34F, I have been looking for a bra that would actually fit me around my ribcage and support without being too small in the top. This is the first bra that I do not bounce in and supports enough around my ribcage. It is barely large enough in the top, but it is close enough that I am happy. a size up (I have a 1) would be too large on my ribcage.
from Mexico on 10/23/2007
Putting this bra on was one unique experience. Once everything was in place though I was thoroughly impressed. The girls didn't go ANYwhere. I'm a 42 DD so I was pretty impressed. It's the first sports bra I've ever owned that lived up to its promise.

from ashland, ohio on 10/15/2007
Since having my 3rd child, I have gone up to a 36DDD. It was hard to exercise because my chest would hurt. Any sudden movements and I felt like a bucket sloshing around. I also caught a glimpse of myself teaching one of my karate classes and even through my uniform I was "sloshing." Gross. So I tried the enell. No more sloshing and I can exercise! From day ONE I am excited about this product.

I wear 50E and sit for 11+hrs/day. This is the first bra I've been able to tolerate without pinching, pulling and wetness. It's easy on the neck, shoulders and ribcage. Buy one.
from PA on 9/26/2007
One thing I don't like about this bra are the seamlines across the cup. I don't like the way they show up under clothes.
This is by far the best sports bra for large breasted women. It completely eliminates the bounce. I can acctually be active again. Thank you ENELL.
from Orlando, FL on 8/25/2007
I wear this bra everyday. I'm not into exercising but I needed a comfortable bra. I'm large busted (48DD) and have searched for a bra of this magnitude for years. It provides the wide-shoulder straps I wanted and it actually minimizes the appearance of my large bust size.
Sooooo comfortable and the support is awesome.
When I see a big-busted woman, I compassionately approach her and tell her about this bra.
from VT on 8/23/2007
I work outdoors building hiking trails and used this bra exclusively. As the season wore on I noticed that my 34 DDD bounced more but on the whole this is one of the only bras that has held up this well in my line of work.

I actually bough my first enell bra from a high end "bra boutique" and then discovered this site. **sizing note** Judging from the size conversion chart I would have put myself in a size 2 (I am a 34F).At the boutique they had me try on a 2 and a 1 and said that the 1 fit me properly. It is tight and a little difficult to get on but definitely worth it.
from Waterford, Michigan on 8/7/2007
Kinda hard to get in to but once you are there it feels good. It's easier and feels better each time I wear this bra.
from West Virginia on 7/11/2007
this is the best of the best. I am a 36DDD tennis player, who gave up the game because I embarassed my teenage daughter. Now we play on the courts without the "snickers."
from Tampa, FL on 7/8/2007
I wear my Enell during Ti Kwon Do classes and have no problem with movement.

from R C, Texas on 6/26/2007
This was exactly what I was looking for in the way of support. It looks a little like a back brace of sorts but I have no bounce when riding horses and that is a major relief for me. Very practical for the athlete
It said the bounce stops here, not so. I purchased another bra at 10% of price of this one at the same time and it feels/fits better than this. A big dissapointment considering the price.
The Enell Sports bra is the best sport bra ever!I have little bounce when working out which is great when you have large breast.I tell everyone I know about this bra.

I have worn this sports bra exclusively for years in my workouts. I am a 34F, and I teach step aerobics, and this is the ONLY sports bra I have ever worn that doesn't require a second bra and has no bounce whatsoever. It wicks the sweat away from my body, and stays comfortable even after an all-day workshop or an hour on the elliptical trainer. Yes, it is VERY snug and takes some getting used to, and it is not something to really show off. But looks are last on my list in this arena. I also wear it for lifting weights and Pilates - it moves well and does not bind my movements no matter what I do. Final plus: it is basically indestructible even after years of regular machine washing. Doesn't shrink or stretch out and the colors don't even fade.

from New Hampshire on 6/16/2007
This is the most supportive bra I have ever owned. I do wonder if the girls might be a little squished in there, and take it off after 8 hours with a little relief, but honestly for me having the support just transforms my figure and my self-confidence. I bought many of them and wear them outside the gym all the time.
from San Pedro on 6/13/2007
so tight, you wonder if you'll get enough breath to exercise. and yet, is the only product i've found that remotely prevents the black-eye bounce. breasts do shift during 3-mi run and need readjustment. am still looking for the perfect product.
from Arlington, VA on 6/11/2007
Once I got used to the different feel of this bra, it was perfect. It is great for support and I don't need to layer it with other bras to feel like I'm not bouncing all over the place. If you have a hard time finding decent sports bras, this is definitely a good pick!
Worth the $. Makes running an option for me finally. Creates odd bulges under my tee, but I am not out to impress anyone! Allows me to contentrate on my workout, not worry that I am ruining my breasts.
from New Orleans, LA on 5/29/2007
Love it, it does the job and the front closure is a bonus.
[1 of 1 customers found this review helpful]
I have tried many sports bras and this is the best. Now, it is not pretty but it does the job. It smashes you down a lot; it should be fairly tight. If it doesn't hold you in place then it is too loose. The covered back takes some time to get use to, especially in the heat. It also cannot be worn with tank top because the front comes up to high. You become a pro at the snaps. If you didn't like this bra, can you please share another that you like better?
I wouldn't have believed a running bra would hold me so well. I am a marathon runner, and I thought I was wearing a good bra. I didn't even realize how much I was still bouncing until I bought this bra. I just bought 2 more.
One of the hooks on the front chafes me during long runs (15 miles+). Obviously not enough to make me stop using it, though. "Body glide" helps with chafing.
from Cranbury, NJ on 5/7/2007
I have had trouble finding a bra with support for a woman of my substance. This bra is the best! I don't have to worry about running - those babies stay put!
from Cincinnati on 4/13/2007
This is one ugly bra! It shows through shirts at the gym; people must wonder what in the world I have on! The hook and eye opening is straight out of the '50's.
I have breast implants and I can't afford to jiggle them out of place. This bra holds me in place even when jogging.
from chicago, IL on 4/12/2007
Excellent support....they don't move!
from Los Angeles, CA on 4/9/2007
The bra was odd at first fit (eyehook closures in front); snug but not uncomfortable. I work in law enforcement and I can't worry about a my 34DDs at work. Other bras have let me down or have given up after minimal wear. I was skeptical about the price of this bra but I bought three bras on faith. I couldn't be happier because I can run and my back doesn't hurt afterward. You REALLY feel the difference in support when you wear your other bras.
Con: The front closure is not flattering under T-shirts but that's the only complaint I have. It's a sports bra for pete's sake!
from ATLANTA on 4/9/2007
TOO MANY SNAPS CANT HANDLE THEM
from Dallas, TX on 4/9/2007
Although this is described as a sports bra, it is very comfortable and suitable for wear everyday as a bra. With the addition of several new fashionable colors, it has lost its "industrial" look, and works well with all wardrobe selections. My choice in permanent bra wear.
from Branford, CT. on 4/9/2007
For activities where sweating is involved. Must not care that seams show through shirt. The bra itself needs TLC when washing it. The hookeye wears down if you're breast are very heavy. I've used mine for one season of basketball officiating and I would have to buy a new one for next season. It did keep breast motion to a minimum.
from Troy, NY on 4/9/2007
I am very high impact dancer and I still bounce a fair amount...my size is a 36DD/38D
from Western New York on 4/9/2007
Very good bra for support. Helps me, a 34 F, be better at strength training because it minimizes alot. Helps me feel balanced. True to the sizing description. The seems are very visible under clothing and look funny. Functional, not pretty. Recommend for exercise or under very thick clothing
from Goldthwaite, Tx on 3/29/2007
I absolutely love this bra! I'm big chested and it holds me up well. The minute I put it on, I fell in love and want another one. It took 10lbs off off me and made me look slimmer!

I hate spending money on bras because the never fit and are never supportive. And then if I do find something I like and that works it's ugly and doen't last long, and then is discontinued. And reasonable sports bras were a pipe dream for me; a wild fantacy. You are reading about a woman who has ALWAYS had to used the two bra method; regular bra under a cotton compression bra, and that was to get half way decent support. See I am a large woman in every way and clothing manufactuers just don't like me. Well, until now.
The Enell sports bra is AWESOME. I am amazed. Really. I am able to go jogging, do my areobics, and play witout having a soar chest afterward. I only have to wear ONE bra for physical activity and that in itself is remarkable. This bra comes in some really pretty colors. I have the crimson red one. It's my first red bra and it feels sexy to me! For the first time ever I am ready to get out there and be super active because it is no longer a pain to get into my active wear. No more putting on my first bra and then struggling into my super tight compression bra. I love the feel of the support of the Enell Sports bra too. It feels very snug without being overly tight. I like the front hooks too. This bra is wonderful.
The only bad thing is the price, its very expensive but worth it. Also the seems are very heavy, but again in the major scheme of things it doesnt matter.

from MO on 3/2/2007
Have been on the quest for the perfect bra for a long time! I made a special trip to try one of these on, but it did not perform as I had hoped. I need a 38 G or H and was hoping the size 3 Enell would work. Unfortunately, there was not enough room in the cups, so I got the famous "uniboob" look. Well made, good support, just doesn't come in a size I can use.

I started buying these after they were rated number 1 By Horse Journal for full-figured riders. If you are used to standard bras they feel tight at first, once you get used to them they are awesome! NO Bounce! When I lost weight and had to buy smaller ones, I gave my larger ones to a gal I know, and she was thrilled! I can ride, run, play football with my kids, and never feel self-concious of the "bounce factor"! They hold up well also. The only drawback is a seam across the bust that shows under some shirts.

from North central Iowa on 12/5/2006
I couldn't ask for more. gives me the needed support to help my tired shoulders hold up my "front." No more drooping, flopping, or bouncing around, to contend with. Makes me look streamlined, and feel much younger than my 73 years of "age!" Thank you !

After a good run on the treadmill at the gym
I may be still panting like before, but I feel
no pain on my top, where I use to experience sore
ness and fatigue. I love my Enell Sports Bra and
have told many of my top heavy friends about the
changes I have experienced at the gym because of
the comfort it affords me.

This bra is amazing for its support. I looked like I'd lost about 10 lbs just by putting it on -which is no easy feat! I found it to be very hot, which doesn't make working out any easier, but my 38FF breasts didn't move at all while jogging so I'd say it's worth it.

Fantastic support (I have a size E cup)! A little awkward to put on but once you're in you aren't going to move at all. Use for running and high impact bootcamp at the gym. Will be ordering another one!

from Wyoming on 10/28/2006
This is a GREAT bra. I am large chested and have trouble finding bras to work out it. This one is awesome - BUT make sure you following the online sizing guide before your order. My enell size wasn't close to my regular bra size.

from Havelock, NC on 10/6/2006
After Oprah mentioned this bra on her show, I decided to order one. My thinking - Oprah can but anything she wants and she picked this bra. Must be good! And it is! It does work and does keep my breasts in place while I exercise without uncomfortable sqeezing. Plus, it''s easy to put on with the front closure. It's so hard to find a GOOD fitness bra in the large size I need. This is def. worth the money I paid!
