During my journey to find a bra that fits, I also decided to find a sports bra that fits. I decided to compare the top 3 companies for sports bras recommended on r/ABraThatFits: Panache, Freya, and Shock Absorber. My main goal was to find a sports bra suitable for running. For reference, I'm projected, FOB, center full, narrow roots, petite (4'11"), and normal bra size UK 28F.

This sports bra was nice but a little strange. The shape of the molded cups point upward in an unnatural way, so my breast tissue didn't fully fill the top of the cups. I could only fill out the cups if I scooped my breast tissue up into the bra, but of course any movement caused my tissue to slide back down to the bottom of the cups making it essentially useless for me.

The wires were also located very far below the molded cups, so they just sat over the bottom of my ribs and didn't provide any actual support for my breasts. I found the band to be true to size.

It did not pass my jog-in-place/jump tests, since there was space at the top for my breasts to move. Overall, the quality of the bra was good, and I think it could work for people who have FOT or fuller breasts.

I've posted links to my reviews of the other sports bras below for easier reference:

This bra is not owned any more
