原文: TL;DR: Great budget sports bra that does its job well
Background:
I have recently began training for a marathon. As a result of all of my running, I've lost some weight. (Yay!) However, there was an unintended casualty of the weight loss: my boobs. ***a moment of silence for all bo
obs lost during our fitness journeys*** I definitely lost some size and needed some new sports bras. Being a life-long Angel, I headed to Victoria's Secret to get sized and pick out some new ones. Well, I am now a 34D and found a few in store that I liked, but I just could not stomach the price. I left empty-handed and scouted here on Amazon. I came across these and liked the styling and the price. I ordered a large based on the sizing guide.
Initial Review:
My initial thoughts were that the fabric at the sides of the bra (the part that goes under your arm) is a bit thin. There is very little padding in the cups, at least compared to my (now former) VS Incredible and Ultimate bras. I was a bit concerned that with the fabric and padding being so thin, I wouldn't get the support I needed during my runs. The cups were a tiny bit larger than I would have liked. There was a little room at the top of the cup when I put it on. The band was comfortable, although I am on the first set of hooks, so if I get any smaller in circumference, I'll need to go down a size. The thick, adjustable straps felt very sturdy without digging into my shoulders. To be honest, I felt probably could have gone to a medium as I like my sports bras to be snug, almost to the point of squeezing. Overall, I had my concerns about the thin fabric and padding and it's ability to support me, but I was ready to run and give this a shot.
The Test:
I used the bra during an 8 mile steady-pace run. To my slight surprise, the bra performed well, just as well as my VS bras. The bra moved with my movements; never once did it pinch or chafe. No obvious bouncing. (I mean, there's always going to be a little movement, but I didn't feel like they were bouncing like two energetic monkeys bouncing in a cage.) I felt comfortable and supported throughout my entire run. Granted it was a cool evening, but I did feel like the bra wicked away what little sweat I had. The "mesh"/ventilated fabric kept me cool even to the last mile. I was not sore after my run nor were any "sensitive areas" irritated. ;)
Final Verdict:
While this bra lacks the "sexiness" of the VS sports bras, it performs just as well as they do. It is a practical, functional sports bra that an endurance runner can rely on mile after mile. As a 34D, I would probably order a medium, but that's due to personal preference of snugness of the band and cups; the large was comfortable and supportive for my size. I will definitely be ordering a few more in different colors. I am very happy with this bra.
Update (3/16/18): I found and purchased a medium size of these at Burlington Coat Factory (on sale too!), and it had more of the "squeeze" that I am used to. The cups were more of an appropriate size as well (no extra room at the top). However, I am on the final (inner-most) hooks, so if I gain any circumference, it would be uncomfortable. I wore the medium during a 5 mile club run, and it performed just as well as the large as described above. It was a bit tighter, but still no chafing or pinching. So, in regards to size, it seems like a 34D could either fit in a medium or a large, just depending on how "packed in" a person would like to feel.

D=很好的运动内衣,效果很好。
背景:
我最近开始了参加马拉松训练。因为跑步,我瘦了一些。(耶!)然而,过程中有一个意外的损失:我的胸部。健身后我的胸变小了,所以需要新的运动内衣。我到维密上找了天使内衣的尺寸,打算买一些新的。嗯,我现在穿34D罩杯,在店里发现了一些我喜欢的,但接受不了这个价格。就去亚马逊上找了找。我看到了这些,款式和价格我都很满意。根据指南,我买了一件尺码大了一点的。
初始评价:我最初的想法是胸罩侧面的布料(胳膊下面的部分)有点薄。内衣里的衬垫也很少,至少比我现在的(难以置信的)少。我有点担心,布料和衬垫这么薄,就不能在跑步时给予足够的支撑,但比我想象的要大一点。我穿上之后发现还有一点空间,肩带也很舒服,虽然我需要套在第一组钩子上,所以如果我的胸围更小,就需要更小的尺寸。肩带很厚,而且可调节,感觉很结实,但不会勒到肩膀。老实说,我觉得这件运动内衣可能是中码的,因为我喜欢贴身的运动内衣,所以感觉还好。总的来说,我有点担心这个很薄的布料和衬垫,但还是准备穿着跑步试一下。
测试:我穿着跑了8英里。令我吃惊的是这款胸罩真的很好,它会随着我的动作移动,不会有任何擦伤,也没有明显的反弹。(我的意思是,会有一点运动,但不会特别强烈。)在整个跑步过程中,我真的感觉很舒服。当然,这个夜晚很凉爽,我没有什么汗。“网”眼的通风布料让我一直跑到最后1英里都很凉快。跑步后没有感到任何疼痛,也没有任何过敏现象。
最终结论:虽然这款内衣不那么“性感”,但我也觉得它很好,很实用,耐力运动员可以穿着它跑一英里又一英里。作为一个穿34 D罩杯的人,我可能会买更多中码的,但这是由我个人偏好决定的,其实大号很舒服,也很合身。我肯定会买更多不同颜色的。我对这款内衣非常满意。
更新(2018年3月16日):我在伯灵顿大衣厂看到了这款,就买了一件中码的(也在打折!),它有点挤,但我习惯了。大小也比较合适(顶部没有多余的空间)。然而,在后面的钩子那里(最里面的)不舒服。我在一个5英里的俱乐部跑步时穿的就是中码的,它的表现和上面描述的一样好。有点紧,但没有摩擦或挤压。因此,就尺寸而言,似乎34 D罩杯适合穿中码的,但只是取决于一个人想要的感觉。
