AKAMC Sports Bra for Women,Criss-Cross Back Padded Strappy Sports Bras Medium Support Yoga Bra with Removable Cups

When I first opened the package I was disappointed. The fabric just doesn’t look as smooth as pictured but whatever not a huge deal. I tried it on, super comfortable. Definitely not ideal for working out but I knew that going into the purchase. I can’t wear low cut bras with my chest size. Unfortunately, the size did not fit as expected. I looked through the reviews and everything so I thought the XL would fit. I’d say probably an XXL would fit better, I’m 5’6” 166lbs, 38DDD last time I was fitted. I may be bigger though??? Either way, if you’re unsure...definitely go for the bigger of the two! Otherwise, it’s a nice bra to have if you’re like me and have to wear sports bras for daily use due to discomfort of regular bras (large chest=too heavy=painful bra jabs and pulls)

Loved them they are super comfy and tight in a good way will hold the girls in place for when you work out and cute style the only reason I gave 4 stars is I wasn’t aware these would have the little sponge inserts that can be taken out and put back in I was hoping these were regular sports bras not a big deal as I had ordered some before that just plain sucked no hold or anything I used the inserts from those and the ones it comes with as they can be thin ( my nipps would poke though) sewed them together and sewed the slit and now perfect with out having to worry of the sponge getting lost in the washer or dryer

I was unsure ordering online as some of the reviews seemed contradictory to each other on sizing, but went ahead and followed the size chart provided and tried them on when they arrived. I am a size 10 in clothes (which means sometimes I'll run an 8/Medium and sometimes a 12/Large) and can range from a 34D/DD to a 36D/DD depending on the brand and style of bra so I was unsure whether to go with a Large or XL. Truly stuck in the middle of the size chart ranges. Since there were only a few reviews mentioning my bra size I went ahead with the XL and tried them on just now. They fit comfortably and were not tight in the straps or loose in the band which is what I sometimes see in comfort sports bras. There were no rolls or bumps created and no gaps either so I believe the XL was the best choice. I do agree with some of the posts that these are for low to medium impact and not for running for larger chests. I have not washed them yet, but can easily remove the pads and wash on gentle like my other padded sports bras. The biggest plus is you really can't beat the price and the criss-cross straps are really cute. Overall I would recommend these and I would stick to the size chart if you are unsure. Should they shrink drastically or tear within a couple of wears I will revise my post.Edit Add: Wore them all around Disney for long days of walking and they were perfect. Also washed them a few times now on delicate and hang dry and they hold their shape and are still as comfortable as ever. Would definitely recommend!Edit for New Set: I purchased a new set and had to remove a star because they definitely changed something in the fit. I ordered the same size again, but this time the gray criss-cross style and they were loose. The removable pads also constantly bunched up and made a weird pattern under t-shirts. So I can no longer recommend the sizing on these and would likely not order again.

I really like these sport bras. I find them to be comfortable and well made. The colors are vibrant, and the material is soft and not the type that will pill. I also like that the bra pads are easy to remove with the slot for inserting and removing them located at the top of the bra, which makes getting the pads in and out, easier to do, in my opinion, versus struggling them to push them in and out of a tiny hole on the side of the bra, the way most bras are. The only complaint I have is that they don't sell an all solid black set of 3, and that they run a bit smaller than I expected. I ordered per the size chart and wish I'd ordered a size larger than suggested. I may order another pack and if I do, I will get a size larger. These aren't supportive enough for running or anything high impact, but are cute and supportive enough for day to day activities, without giving the appearance of having a uni-boob the way that some sports bras tend to do.

I am 5'8", 170ish#, 36B. Normally I wear a Large in sports bras but I sized up to an XL based on reviews - they were still way too small and all my flub squished out under the straps. Boo.

I would like to start by saying I am 50+ years old. I'm 5'4" and 125 pounds. My bra size is 32D. I ordered a 3-pack in a size medium. After a couple of weeks I ordered my second three-pack. What I really like about these bras is the band is wider so it holds me in when I run, they offer a lot of support and the straps don't separate until the top of my shoulder. This is actually very important to me because I hate it when the straps separate right away because one strap goes right to my neck and the other one stays on my shoulder. These stay right on my shoulder. They offer a lot of support. I like them better than $30 or $40 sports bras that are brand name. I'm hoping they hold up for months and frequent washes because I run four to five times a week.

These are comfortable to lounge in but for me (being a size 34DD) these are not to work out in. I knew that when I purchased though. The one complaint is that the pads do NOT stay in place. The opening is at the top of the bra cup and the pads just begin to slide out during the day. Thinking of just taking them out-period.

I have returned these.The good. They are soft and stretchy. Material/stitching looks like it will hold up to washing and wear. The straps on the back are really cute. It greatly reduces back fat.The bad I'm usually a 36 C and I bought xl and this was bordering on too small. They do not offer enough support. They do offer good support for lounging, but when I jumped up and down and ran in place, my breasts moved alot. I thought the padding would give more structure, but they just moved around so I took them out. While it reduced back fat quite a lot, the fat on the side of breasts under arm spilled out. I'm 165 so if your thinner I don't see this bring a problem.Over all, it's a nice lounge bra, just didn't work for me.
