Moving Comfort Fiona Sports Bra

Sports bra for running (C/D cups)

Pros
  • Good support for C/D cups
  • Adjustable straps
  • Soft fabric
Cons
  • Not supportive enough for DD+ sizes
  • Back strap curls up
  • Can fray easily

Expert reviewers recommend encapsulation bras for women with C cups or larger, and the Moving Comfort Fiona rates highly for high-impact exercise. This bra is underwire-free, using both encapsulation and compression to provide support for large breasts. It comes with a hook-and-loop back closure and straps that adjust from the front, instead of the more common back adjustment, so the bra's fit and support can be fine-tuned while being worn.

Users with large cup sizes appreciate that the Fiona looks like a regular sports bra instead of a piece of lingerie, which can be common among sports bras designed for large breasts. However, reviews indicate that the Fiona doesn't provide quite enough support for women with DD or larger cups, and several complain that the back strap curls up or frays easily. One user also points out that the Fiona has no padding to conceal the nipples.

Running Times magazine publishes the best review of the Fiona sports bra. The magazine enlists C- and D-cup testers to evaluate several models, and its commentary is detailed and balanced. We also found testing-based reviews in Health magazine, and a short evaluation by a professor of exercise and sports science published in Self. About.com offers relatively detailed comments of the Fiona bra, and we found hundreds of enthusiastic user reviews at Amazon.com, HerRoom.com, Athleta.com and RoadRunnerSports.com.

2. Health Magazine

Health magazine recommends the Moving Comfort Fiona, but calls it best suited for low- and moderate-impact exercise. Some testers find the straps uncomfortable, and dislike that the bra pushes breasts together to create the dreaded "uniboob."

4. Amazon.com

Well over 650 Amazon.com reviewers chime in to give the Moving Comfort Fiona bra an average 4.4-star rating. They praise its comfort and not-too-constrictive support, although a few DD+ users say it's not quite supportive enough for them. Users' biggest pet peeve is that the back strap curls up after several uses, and a few notice that because there's no padding, your nipples may be noticeable.

8. About.com

Christine Luff, the About.com guide for running and jogging, asks well-endowed running friends to help her test the Moving Comfort Fiona sports bra.
