Fruit of The Loom Womens Front Close Builtup Sports Bra

I had to up the stars bc ive had it in all day without back pain. Considering the fact i havent found a bra i could even put on without pain and this is giving me no pain all day deserves a 5. Still wish it wasnt like the below original review but in without pain so YAY give it a 3 bc the price point comfort and quality. They run very small. Knowing this i purchased one size larger than i would normally wear. I should have gone up two sizes. I am 5'11 & wear a 36DD (& yes that is the correct size) order 44 and the bra just barely comes below my breast. In my opinion the shoulder straps and back straps arent long enough. I would have preferred the bra to come down below my breast some. Because it doesnt it almost feels like a regular bra and hugs and pushes up instead of offering sports bra support. I also wouldnt dry it PERIOD unless its too big on you. If it fits just right or is a little snug i wouldnt get near these with heat. The first 2 photos of are the right and left side normally. The 3rd picture is what I would have preferred the bra to do. I had to pull it down to demonstrate how far I wish the bottom had come down. The first and second picture show how the bra doesnt come down enough and when my arms are down causes more back and side fat than I prefer. Pardon the flabby skin. 2 kids in your 30s will do that to you and Im still trying to get my body back. For a shorter woman or short torso woman this would be perfect. For a tall woman or long torso woman I say keep shopping. The goal for going with the criss cross, racerback, front closure was to redirect the weight of my breast to my front and distribute it evenly on my shoulders as I have a herniated disc where my bra would hook in the back. If anyone has experience with a bra that would come down further in the front back and side, sport style, front closure, criss cross racerback or other bra style with the same kind of problem as me, please guide me to a bra you would suggest or recommend. But.... Even though its a bit uncomfortable ill say this... Normallt putting on a bra, regular or sport would instantly cause back pain. This has been on for over an hour just sitting, jumped around a bit to see if everything stayed in place but not strenous activity and i have NO BACK PAIN. Thats a huge plus considering just putting a bra on creates pain and while this is not as comfortable as i would have wanted it to be. Its better than my other alternatives. I have a bra on that isnt causing PAIN. Maybe wearing it a while will stretch it out enough to give me that extra length and if so I will update my review at a later date. But i will continue looking for the perfect bra for my situation and will take any suggestions along the way. Remember!!! The 3rd photo that covers that side fat roll is the one I pulled the bra down over it wont stay there after movement. I prefer a similiar bra that will do that. Read more

I am petite, but big busted and hyper athletic. So, I need a strong sturdy sports bra that opens and closes in the front with at least 8 sturdy clasps. Strong sports bras that do not open and close in the front exhaust women as they struggle to clasp them in the back. Or worse, the bras that have no open and close option have to be dragged up from your feet or dragged down from your head and shoulders while you struggle to stretch the bra around body parts that cannot shrink down while you are trying to put the bra into place. Bras that do not open and close in the front have to be so flimsy during the struggle to put them on that they fail to secure the bust once the bra is in place. An effective sports bra should have at least 8 strong clasps that open and close in the front so that putting on the bra is an efficient process. And the material and design of the sports bra should secure the entire bust for hours. This Fruit of the Loom Comfort Front Close Sport Bra does have all those features that are critical for the most comfortable, effective, and efficient best bra ever. And to test how long I could count on this bra to do its job comfortably, I did a stress test. I wore the same bra for THREE 16 hour days. The bra held up for all three days and I suspect it will hold its shape for years. And it was so comfortable, it felt like a soft but sturdy cotton tank top. And it feels that way because this bra’s material is 95% cotton and 5% spandex. Very soft and pleasant to the touch. I recommend that to make the bra even stronger for marathon running or biking, add more material (a material that is a sturdy spandex) to the back of the bra. Engineer that material so that it never loses its strength by sewing onto it an erkencho horn shape of material from the right shoulder and then from the left shoulder to the bottom of the band. This back band of material would cover the woman’s back and shoulder blades. An expert seamstress with an engineering degree would be better able to explain and show you what I am trying to say. That kind of engineering would make this bra last for years and years of daily hiking and biking, and still be comfortable enough to wear all day long for days. In the meantime, This Fruit of the Loom Comfort Front Close Sport Bra is the most comfortable, effective, and efficient best bra ever. Read more
