This bra is comfortable, supportive, well-made, and a good price. I ordered up one from my usual band size and down a cup size (just because they don't offer my usual size) and it fits great. Unfortunately it doesn't really hold up on the treadmill portion of my workout. If you're larger-chested and need to be "locked in" during high-impact activities like running, you probably need to keep looking (and spend more on something with more structure and wires).

Within the last week I ordered 3 of the same Champion Women's Spot Comfort Full Support Sports Bra on Amazon: white/black/pink. I initially purchased the Champion Women's "Spot" Comfort Full Support Sports Bra from Kohl's within the last week (Mid-March2022) from their sale rack. I am 73 y/o. Working remotely for the last 2 yrs. due to the pandemic, I really didn't have an opportunity to wear most of my bras, other than the over-the-head and racer-back models until recently. In my younger years, my bra size was 34DD. When I recently pulled out all my bras that were not sports bras, none of them fit me. Unfortunately, when one get older one tends to lose all the fat in the upper part of each breast. The DD cup size was way too big. So, off to the bra shop I went and was sized 32C or D, depending on the bra. Personally, I think 32 is too tight for the band, so I decided to go with 34. Anyway, after the bra shop, I went to Kohl's and found the Champion bra in a 34D in gray. I looked at it and thought "This will never work", as there is no underwire or molded cup inside. I was shocked when I put the bra on, felt how comfortable it was and decided to buy it. I am very active and go to the gym daily for either cardio spin 4 times a week, weight lifting/training, and walking/sprints on the indoor track, so I sweat a lot. For me this bra is very comfortable, fits me perfectly, and I do not mind the "slight" unaboob look. At this age, comfort is more important than sexy at the gym. The white Champion bra I ordered came yesterday, and I'm wearing it today while I work and write this review. The black and pink are supposed to arrive later today. Earlier reviews years past, reported the inside seams itched/chafed the skin, but the seams in the gray bra I purchased at Kohl's and the white one I'm wearing today have the inside seams covered quite well and I've had no itching/chafing. Yesterday, I took the day off and was at the gym for several hours doing my cardio/weight lifting routines. I had no problems with the gray bra. Even though I am 120lbs/5'4", some bras are cut under the arms in a way that squeezes the skin out from under my arms/on the sides, very ugly. This bra, at least on me, does not do that. I have a smooth fit under my arms/sides/back. I'm hoping the black and pink bras fit the same way. It just seems that Champion has taken the negative reviews over the years regarding this "Spot Comfort Full Support Sports Bra" and greatly improved it. For me, it's a winner at the gym and beyond. 3/22/22 update: I received the pink and black bras after I wrote the above review. I've worn the grey bra again to the gym and the white and pink. All held up well under intense cardio, bench pressing, deadlifts and free weights. The bras seem to wick away the moisture well. All seem to wash well, but I use a lingerie bag. I do not put in the bras in the dryer. I continue to be pleased with this style and the performance. 3/1/24: I don't own stock in the company, and I'm not an employee. I'm still wearing these bras to run and workout. They are great and are still holding up. I wish the company would make the a front-closure, racerback high impact sports bras with the same material. Maybe someday. Read more
This bra is kind of cute, comfortable and supportive, good at preventing bounce. I'd buy it again except there's one flaw that bothers me enough not to purchase another-it's the band. It's not stretchy and consequently feels stiff and doesn't mold well to the body's contours. A stretchier band would make this bra topnotch. It runs true to size. Not a great bargain, but not unreasonably priced for what you get. Read more
I began my physical fitness journey doing low impact aerobics 40 years ago after the birth of my son, and I needed to lose weight. That is when I purchased my first Champion sports bras which, believe it or not, I have continued to wear. But when the elastic began to crackle, I decided it was time to invest in new bras. My workouts of choice are strength training, weight lifting, and high intensity interval training with barre sprinkled in as well; it should be noted that I do not do high impact training or running. I first tried the big box sports stores, but neither carried Champion. Since Champion had served me well all of this time, I wanted to stay with that brand but kept an open mind and researched other brands. Enter Amazon Prime Day. I finally decided on these bras and ordered two in white and two in nude upsizing the band size by one size as most of the reviews suggested. They are heavenly! Yes, I fully realize that after 40 years bras, like everything else, have come a long way. As time has gone on, it has become more difficult for me to remove racer back bras (which I have always worn and loved) and almost impossible when I am sweaty after a workout, so a back hook-and-eye closure was mandatory even though I was skeptical. When I opened the package the first things I noticed were how light the bras felt in my hand, the quality of the construction, and the overall appealing aesthetic. The straps are wide and soft with a quilted feeling and gel padding preventing chafing and the "digging into the shoulder" effect; the straps are also easily adjusted. The closure in the back has three rows of three hooks for fine tuning the snugness of the band. While doing exercises which require lying on my back, there have been no problems from the bra which actually surprised me. Even though there is no padding the material is sufficiently substantial so that there is no see-through, and I have not been victim of the dreaded "nippling" effect. This underwire free bra has a nice quality, heavy duty elastic band that, after sizing up one, fits perfectly securely, sits firmly but is not too tight, and does not fold, pinch or buckle. The material feels soft and almost silky on the skin with no rubbing or irritation. There is no feeling of being drenched from sweat with the moisture wicking technology, and the mesh portion of the fabric facilitates air flow. During workouts these bras have offered good compression and support yet allowed me to move freely in all directions with no interference. I have worn these bras for high intensity interval training, strength conditioning, weight lifting, and walking, and I could not be more pleased with them. After ordering the first 4, I subsequently have ordered a black one with my only regret being that I did not order more! I actually called my sister and told her about the bra; she promptly ordered 4 for herself. These bras are extremely comfortable and are one of the most comfortable bras (not just sports bras) that I have ever worn; I almost feel as if I am not wearing a bra at all the feel is so lovely. For my purposes, this bra is as close to perfection as a bra could get. I would give it 10 stars if I could! Top 3 Likes: -Beautifully constructed of quality materials -Soft fabric that is comfortable to wear -Great support and compression...approaching sports bra perfection! Top 3 Dislikes: -Like all bras, the band can get tight by the end of the day -Only dislike 1! Read more
I have bought SO many very pricey sports bras only to really need to wear two at once 🤦♀️ (if you know, you know). I have never really found any that do what they need to. That all stopped once I bought this sports bra. I am not even kidding. I have worn it running and at a Zumba class and I don’t even notice any bounce at all. Some movement? Sure. But it isn’t painful or uncomfortable at all and I don’t notice it. It was sized perfectly and very comfortable. Definitely seems well made and for the price it was amazing. This is the best sports bra I’ve ever owned and I’m off to buy another! Read more
