If you've been reading this blog for any length of time, or have ever seen a picture of me, then you know that I am not exactly well-endowed. In fact, Dizzle once asked me, and I quote, "Did you have your boobies cut off?" Go ahead. Laugh. I did.
And even though I am OK with my pancake flat chest, I haven't stopped my search to find the perfect sports bra (i.e. one that supports, has a cuteness factor and maybe even adds a little "volume"). For the last three years, I have been wearing the perfect bra for active nursing moms. It's called the Fiona Bra by Moving Comfort.
Although, it's not technically a nursing bra, it does have these great adjustable Velcro straps that can easily be undone to nurse. I loved that bra. And I would have continued to wear it, but the smallest size it comes in is a B cup, and even that is too large for me.
Luckily, a few weeks ago, Moving Comfort sent me their Vixen Bra to test.
Moving Comfort says this about the Vixen Bra:
"Powerful performance meets cute design in this new pullover style, offering moderate contouring and maximum moisture transfer. Powermesh back and lining add support and breathability. Modified racer-back styling offers full range of arm movement and strap stability."
I was excited about this bra from the moment I opened the package. It definitely had the cuteness factor working for it AND it also had the slightest bit of padding, to give me that little extra "volume" I had been looking for. It was two for three before I even put it on.
Then came the real test. The run. I got dressed and headed out for a five miler. And the bra performed beautifully. I never felt like I was "bouncing." I felt secure without being suffocated. Not only did it provide excellent support, but it didn't shift at all. I had zero chaffing. This is a huge plus to me. I, like many women, have unknowingly fallen victim to bra chaffing only to find out how badly it had rubbed after I stepped into the shower. Ouch! Over the course of the last three weeks, I have logged close to 50 miles in this bra without a single complaint. Are you getting just how fantastic this bra is?

I'd love to win the Fiona. Unfortunately for me, I am well-endowed and have yet to find anything that works with only 1 sports bra... Running with 2 is getting very old! This would be a great chance to try out those adjustable straps!

It's too warm for it now, but I have been eying their special T. I think I will be watching for a sale on that one to be ready for the fall.

I used the "Bra Finder" and Fiona and Venus A/B came up. Go figure! I followed your advice a long time ago to switch to the Fiona so I'm happy to take it again and make a new switch, as my boobs have also seen better days due to my two wonderful sons. :) Thanks, T!
I tweeted about this again just now!

My wife a D and the best open front sports bra for me is Moving Comfort Maia. You can get them for a great price at Amazon. It really keeps "the girls" in place, even during a marathon.
