SheFit Sports Bras

So I kept seeing ads for SheFit, some ladies at my gym also recommended them in our Facebook group, and shared their coupon code.  Around the same time I saw an ad for SheFit's clearance sale and with the coupon and shipping the bras would be around $35 a price that I'm much more comfortable taking a risk at than the regular $70, so I ordered a couple.

One style was only available in a Small and the other was available in a Medium.  Upon initially reviewing the size chart I thought that I could easily go either way. My overbust being just a hair over the small measurement it goes to 37, I'm closer to 38, and Medium topping out at 38.  My underbust measures around 30.5 and I've been wearing more 32 bands recently.  Either way 32 is at the end of the small spectrum and in the middle of the Medium.  Their Fit Finder also recommended a Medium when I plugged in my size as 32DD, if I used 30E it sent me to the measurement chart.

For those who aren't familiar with SheFit, they take away conventional bra sizing and offer more adjust-ability than standard XS-XXL sizing.  The back band and the straps are velcro and  you have a full range of adjustments.  The front of the bra is zip front, but has hook and eye closures underneath the zipper, there is also a piece of fabric behind the zipper near your chest so the zipper isn't actually touching your skin.  I thought it seemed like pretty cool concept, and thought it could possibly work well.  

The bras arrived within a few days of placing my order, the packaging is nice, and the tag is attached with one of those stretchy ribbon hair ties.  The quality of the bras does feel nice.  Sorry I'm writing this a few weeks after receiving and did not take any photos of packaging.  

I'll go ahead and start off with the fit of the Small, this was not the size recommended and I quickly found out why.  The small feels like it's too small by far more than an inch in the boob area, the band area, I've tried to leave looser to balance things out and it's just not comfortable due to it being too small.  That being said, I do feel very secure, but not in a good way, more of help my boobs are being suffocated and need out kind of way. 

Regardless I decided to take it for a spin and do a workout in it, I did a cardio dance class that is similar to Zumba and we do a fair amount of jumping.  Of course due to the fit my boobs weren't going to bounce.  The main challenge here was testing out the zipper. I felt bad for not just my boobs, but the poor hook and eye closure that is behind the zipper.  To my surprise the zipper did stay put even being pushed to it's limits of fit.

The medium while fitting better than the small I do not feel like this is the correct size for me either.  It's not as suffocating, but still too small around the boobs.  I think the Luxe (large) might be a better fit.  I didn't go to a large as my measurements were on the smaller end of it with the ribcage measurement not reflecting my own although it did list 32 which is the band size I've been wearing most often recently I was concerned it might not adjust tight enough,but the velcro goes all the way around so I don't think it would be an issue. I might try SheFit again in a Luxe if I can get one on sale.

Overall I do think it is a SheFit is a good product, but if you are on the larger end of an overbust measurement and the smaller end of the band measurement size up. It definitely feels quite supportive and very well made especially the zipper, I was extremely impressed by the zippers ability to stay put even in too small of a size. I can't say if the support would remain the same in the Luxe but I do believe the band would be adjustable enough for a smaller ribcage.
