Great bra for high-impact activities4
I am usually a 36D, and my other sports bras are actually 36C, but in this bra I had to get a 36DD. Given my size, it's hard to find a really good sports bra, especially since I love high impact activities (Step, Kickboxing). This bra is quite a contraption that really minimizes bounce. For how this bra fits (it's snug, ladies!), I wouldn't bother wearing it for low impact activities (walking, weight lifting). The only thing I don't love about this bra is that the underwire goes a little too far under my arms (maybe b/c I had to get a bigger cupsize than usual?), which is a bit uncomfortable. But it's definitely not a deal breaker -- I have two of this bra!

Racer back, runs small4
Be sure you know this has a racer back, and it runs small. Also, it is difficult to get on, over the head, and to then fasten and unfasten. Once on, it is a great sports bra for large breasted women. It fits tightly and is very supportive. The black is nice.

Very supportive and comfortable5
Really comfortable and I like where the straps are positioned. I needed a T-Back sports bra for some of the tops I wear to the gym. This is definately the best T-back out there (Ive tried many). It won't lose it's stretch like some of the ones I've tried. Supportive enough to run in for my C cups.

All time favorite sports bra4
This is my all time favorite sports bra. I own several of them and absolutely love them because the material holds sweat away from my body better than other sports bras, it has AWESOME support (36C) and I LOVE not sporting a "uni-boob" unlike traditional sports bras. The bra stays in place, and is extremely comfortable. It provides a wonderful amount of coverage but not too much. This is the sexiest "support" sports bra that I have ever owned and I'll definitely buy more. Some users may not be crazy about the seams in the front of the bra, but I don't mind them at all--shirt on or shirt off. They lay flat and do not hinder comfort in the least. Don't debate too much on whether or not to get this bra. If you want an awesome sports bra that looks good and provides great support and is really comfortable, buy several.
Have a great workout.

Good shock absorbing4
I just bought two of these. (I need to get rid of all my old athletic brassiers, so I am stocking up.) I have worn them each once to the gym, once on the elliptical and once to my step aerobic class. I think it does a good job of shock absorbing. I am not thrilled about the front seams showing through my gym shirt, though. Also, I am not sure if it does a great job of wicking and drying. Since I think shock absorbing is the most important role of a sports brassier, I gave it a high rating. After a few more test runs, I think I will be buying more.

Show-through Still Occurs3
The product description states that is designed to give "small chests a lift". I now resent that blurb because 1.) being a sports bra, of course it does not give anyone a lift and 2.) it 's not padded enough to eliminate the show-through problem. (there barely is anything, it is less than what you would see in a typical swimsuit top). As for its functionality, it is fine, so I give it 3 stars for that.

unbelievable5
This bra is unbelievable, when I tried it on I could not believe it!! It really did considerably make my breasts look smaller! I wear a D-cup and I swear I felt like a B-cup. I normally feel like my breasts are in my face, and like the're just huuuge and it's really uncomfortable to walk and have them bounce around. With this bra, they not only looked smaller and cuter, but they where also held perfectly in place, they where no sagging or squished like with most strapless bras. This one held them in the perfect place, not too pushed up and not drooping. Also they don't bounce at all when I walk.
Before this bra, I didn't feel comfortable wearing any racerback tops, but now I can wear them with confidence. I can't believe I used to wear two bras everyday!! I wore a cup bra and on top of that I usually wore a sports bra (this way they were held in place by the cup bra, but they didn't feel lie two huge mountains thaanks to the sports bra) Now I can comfortably wear only this bra and know I'll look ten times better than before.

Best Strapless Bra5
This is simply the best strapless bra I have ever owned! I am currently living in Central America and took an unplanned, three hour hike up a mountain in this bra, followed by a ride in the back of a pick up truck through mountainous terrain and only adjusted the bra once! I have never owned another bra, strapless or otherwise, that has stayed in place this well and offered this much support, especially for a larger cup size. I now prefer to wear this bra over all others, including sports bras, when I know I am going to be taking "bouncy" transportation. Best of all, it is extremely comfortable. I would highly recommend this bra to any woman who is looking for a strapless that will stay in place and not need readjusting all day / night long.

Best Strapless5
This has to be the BEST strappless bra EVER.
I bought a 34DD and it STAYED PUT. I wore it ALL day and it was ...
1. EXTREMELY comfortable
(4 hooks in the back - not sure about other sizes though)
2. Stayed UP (without digging in)
(it has a SOFT band that secures without the uncomfortable feeling)
(also has a boning that you don't even feel to help stay put)
3. I didn't have to fuss with it AT ALL
4. Made me look at LEAST 1-2 cups SMALLER :o)

It does have the convertible straps to put on if you need them.
i'm going to be purchasing another one :o) YAY!

Comfortable4
Very comfortable bra, no pinching (and I wore it after a sunburn). Cups run a little small. Have not worn it strapless yet.

Large breasted? GREAT choice!5
This bra works AWESOME if you are full-figured. As many of you who are DD cups know, sometimes these types of bras just don't work well. This one offers coverage (i.e. you aren't slipping out underneath or on top) while downplaying how big you are which helps avoid looking too "street walker-ish". I didn't think I would like it because it does not offer a whole lot of support, but I don't mind because of how well it downplays my size. This is by far my favorite bra EVER for evening wear!

Best Bra ever!5
I have had a difficult time finding a bra that fits this well...until now. It provides great coverage and support but also feels so comfortable. This bra comes with interchangable straps: the clear ones shown in the picture and also white elastic straps. I actually prefer the white ones.

This bra is saving my sanity! Works with Ameda & More!4
I read ALL the reviews here before buying this bra. I recently bought the La Leche League one and was very disappointed that the Ameda flanges cannot fit through the holes (unless you insert them backwards which makes removing them after pumping messy)...

The Easy Expressions bra has stretchy holes and can fit the Ameda flanges in. (I have all sizes of flanges that Ameda makes and they all can fit so if you are using Ameda or Lansinoh, this bra will work for you)

A lot of the reviews had sizing issues. A lot of the ladies have said that medium would not fit and large was too big. Being a 36F, I decided to get the size large based on the complex sizing chart. The Large was not tight enough but I am certain based on the reviews that the medium wouldn't fit. I bought it with the intentions of altering it. I had to take it in 1/4" on each side in between the zipper and the nipple holes. I had to make the alteration there because the nipple holes were also too far apart for me. This simple alteration solved both problems of the bra being too big and the nipple holes being too far apart.

I could have used it as it came but I would have had to hold the flanges in place, kind of defeating the purpose. If you are unsure about sizing and can sew a straight line, I would recommend doing what I did and buy the larger size and take it in.

I think this bra would be better if it had optional straps. I may decide to add some later but if you wear a nursing bra underneath, it should hold the breasts up for pumping.

Because I had to make an alteration, I rated only 4 stars. But the bra as it is now deserves a 5. It allows me to pump hands-free. It is truly a lifesaver for a pumping mom. I wish I would have had this after I had my twins were born but better late than never. I am completely thrilled with this bra!

Added Later:
I discovered after a few uses that the fringe can be hooked onto a nursing bra to help hold the breast higher. Just hook the fringe loop onto the clip on the strap of the nursing bra. Works much better this way.

Good Quality Bra5
I jog and I find the bra offers the breasts great support. I don't feel any bounce with this bra. I am a 34B and I ordered a size small which fit perfectly. It's lined and it didn't chafe the skin either. It's mostly cotton and holds moisture well, I live in the tropics. The lining is soft against the skin and makes you feel dry while working out. As with most sports bras it takes effort to put on but once it's on, I hardly felt the bra while receiving the support I need. I highly recommend it.

Great support5
I have a 34 DD. I love this bra! I have worn mine out. I prefer under wire but it irritates my skin when I run. Great a lone or pared with another bra.

Big surprise5
This item is so hard to buy, when your not looking at. Even then, it can still be wrong. That being said, this bra is perfect. I need a bra that would not break me skin out in temperature over 140+ degrees daily. I need a product that would be secure without crushing my ribs. Allowing me to breath with all me gear on, while running. I do still sometimes need extra security and i just combine it with another sports bra. I like it have it on now. IF god blessed you with plenty. This bra would not be a good choice. I am just average.
