Bare Necessities Sports Bra Reviews
I've recently started an endeavor to try and get healthy. I've been at it about a month and have come to realize that only owning one sports bra (that I got about four years ago) was not going to cut it. Took a trip to my local Lane Bryant and found out they don't carry sports bras in store. I didn't like any of the ones on their online store, and after some googling, I came across Bare Necessities.
I ended up ordering two bras: this, and this.
I like this one in that it keeps my boobs separate, since I really hate the monoboob look most sports bras give you. It offers some support, but with the way the cups are designed (with them sort of overlapping in the middle), I feel like if I was running instead of jogging, my boobs would go flying. There was one review on the site, and the woman ended up having to sew the overlap area together. I think I may end up doing the same. It is very comfortable, and is a lot easier to get one and off than my old one which didn't have clasps, so I will be keeping it.
I got it in black.
I really like this one since while it doesn't have separate cups, it doesn't give me as much of a monoboob as my old sports bra. It also offers a bit more support than the one above, which I like. The straps are nice in that the adjustable bits are velcro and in the front. I find this much easier to get the right fit than having to either contort my body or having to take it on and off several times to adjust the straps until they are just right.
On a slightly unrelated note, I finally decided to order a dress from eShakti! It hasn't shipped yet, but I have already had stellar customer service. I was unaware that when you make an account, you get a $20 gift certificate to use on your first purchase. I already had confirmed my order when I went to check my email and saw the certificate. On a whim, I emailed eShakti, explained what happened, and the next day they got back to me, saying they had applied the gift certificate and I would be getting a refund for the 20 bucks soon.
