Shefit Ultimate Sports Bra (1Luxe, Black)

I heard about this bra after the Shark Tank episode aired, and my mother contacted me about it. I'm a lifelong athlete and I've been strapping these boobs down for athletic pursuits for about 23 of my years, so I am constantly on the hunt for the perfect sports bra. This is NOT IT. I wanted to love it, I really did. I ignored the red flags: None of the marketing ads showed women actually doing anything bouncy, all the women in the ads appeared to have breast implants (which is great, but totally changes what they need from a sports bra), and it appeared to have several of the problems I've encountered previously, which I will detail below. I ordered anyway, and I should have listened to myself. My current activities include running (bouncy), Jazzercise (super bouncy), cycling (less bouncy), and Crossfit (intermittently bouncy).1) Sizing: Women with large breasts on a comparably much smaller frame know that you need cup sizing in anything, including sports bras. Without cup sizing, it's always the same: if it fits my boobs, the band is too large. If the band fits, my boobs look like they're being squeezed out all around the bra like Silly Putty. So the idea of an adjustable band seemed like a great way to overcome this. I was on the cusp of two sizes, so I ordered the smaller one. I have the band as tight as it will go - no velcro left to go tighter - so I know I couldn't go up a size. The cups seem just a bit small, which means less bounce control.2) Bounce control: I was concerned when looking at the bra online that there is a lot of cleavage, which means there is not much coverage on top. That's fine if your breasts are mostly implants that are held down by the pectoral muscles, but natural boob-slingers know that they bounce up every bit as much as they bounce down. Well, I was right. There is little to nothing to keep upward bounce under wraps. SHEfit has fallen into the same trap many sports bras fall into: they rely heavily on shoulder straps to control bounce. When the straps are in H-back, we're talking pure earthquake-simulating chaos. Worse than my regular non-sports bras. When it's in X-back, I can get some decent control if I tighten the straps enough. But the straps are narrow, so it doesn't take long before they are cutting into my traps. So then I get to choose between tit-sloshing and bruised traps. I could not wait to get out of this thing after my workouts.3) Comfort: I've already addressed the miserable discomfort involved in controlling bounce, so here's what I have to say about general comfort. The base/band and cups of this bra are substantial. It's like wearing a "device," not a bra. Which I would be fine with, if it worked. Just know it feels bulky and looks weird under clothes - the adjustable band sticks out under a shirt and so does the front zipper, creating a weird lump at the top of your cleavage. The band and straps adjust with a hook & loop closure, and no matter how I adjusted it the scratchy part kept finding its way to my skin. I ended my workouts with my shirt stuffed up under the band where the scratchy part was.4) Other: And speaking of the zipper... When I tried to wear the bra in H-back, the zipper lasted about ten seconds and then shot down to the bottom, releasing my tatas like floodwaters. I tried again, with the same result.This thing was touted to be a game-changer in the world of sports bras for large-breasted women. It is not. At all. They've made all the same mistakes their predecessors have, and the few areas of innovation are done inelegantly and ineffectively.

This is one of the most poorly made sports bras ever. I purchased it to use while horseback riding. Due to the cheap Velcro used during manufacturing the only gait this bra holds up to is the walk. Which any normal bra can hold up to that. Any sort of bounce at ask and the Velcro on the straps let loose leaving yourself hanging in the wind. I've gotten so frustrated that I just tie the straps in a knot. At some point when i find time I'll sew them closed. Until then it's worthless! Very disappointed

DON’ T BUY IT! The WORST bra I have ever purchased in my entire life! I promise you. I tried to force myself to wear it because I spent $200 on only two of these garbage bras. And I hated every second of it. Let me tell you! UNIBOOB! It will SUFFOCATE YOU! No room to breathe because it’s not streachable or flexible! If I want to hold my boobs up then I have to tighten the strap which leads to no room for my lungs to expand while I run. Stiff and hard to work out in! I can’t even do a frikken push up with this on. It’s so painful. The Velcro scratches AF! It needs to be placed so precisely and if it isn’t then your screwed. And the colour runs in the wash! If this bra wasn’t bad enough, it ended up colour damaging my other pretty lingerie! Soft pinks, baby blues, peach; all ruined!!! I reviewed it on the second company review system but they never showed the review! Only the few 5-4 star ones are posted!! I wish I had seen real reviews before buying it.

very painful and both too large and too small simultaneously. Really wanted to like this. Looked forward to front close when my shoulders are stiff and sore. And I liked the idea of velcro adjustments in band and straps. I am a large woman with large natural breasts. Biggest problem is the sides of cups cutting into armpit area. after wearing it for a few hours I got actual bruising in addition to chafing and blisters. I mean really ! Bruises and open blisters. very very painful. As noted by other reviewers there is no cup size so major squish factor. in order to control bounce have straps in x fashion but when I pull them tight very uncomfortable at neck and still not enough bounce control. all in all an expensive worthless purchase.

I really hoped this bra would finally end my search for a good sports bra. Large, natural, high breasts are just hard to fit a sports bra for when you want no bounce for high impact cardio. The fit of this bra was great, although the sizing is just weird. A lot of women buy the wrong size bra, so I guess they are trying to fix that by changing the sizing rules. My problem is the bra is 6(!) layers of material. Instead of using a non stretch fabric so that you get support, they used a TON of sketchy fabric. They say it is wicking fabric, but 6 layers of wicking, isn't wicking. An the wicking isn't the issue. It is that you have 6 layers of fabric covering you while you are trying to work out. I'm not interested in hot yoga, and I dont want to wear a parka to cardio class. This is no different than using ace bandages to bind my breasts to my body before I work out. Serious! Why can no one make a decent sport bra!?

I would give this sports bra a ZERO if I could. I bought through the Shefit website & waited several MONTHS for this bra because they were backordered. So, so, so disappointed. This bra flattened my boobs in the front and forced them into my armpits. The cut of this bra terrible - its like they tried to just size up from those designed for smaller bust sizes. I wear a 34F/36DDD. The dart (which should be just to the outside of the nipples in line with where the collarbone turns to go up to the shoulder) sat in line with my armpits. Seriously, Victoria Secret makes better sports bras. Hate this bra & can't return it because its outside the 30 days from when they SHIPPED it. I waited months after paying for the bra. What a waste!!! DO NOT BUY THIS SPORTS BRA!!!
