Freya Bra Review

This is the Freya Sports bra I am doing a review on. I really liked that they offered red as a color. This is my first encounter with the Freya brand so I was a bit iffy at first. I will say, the band feels tighter than most 32s I have come across *it still fits well, but at first it was a bit of a shock*. After wearing it, the band is more comfortable now. It is very supportive and as far as I can recall, did well at work. The only downside I will say is the cups are cone shaped of sorts, and there is extra material I noticed around the nipple area. Other than that, its a wonderful bra. I personally prefer the Wacoal sports bra a little better because that stays true to my shape, and this bra has a little bit of a puff around the nipple area *which can look funny, Im not sure how comfortable I would be wearing this under a tighter fitting shirt*. All in all, it supported me well throughout my intense work days, and does its job. I wish they had made it less cone shaped around the nipple area, I fill the cup well, thats the only problem I have so I know its not a cup size problem. I will continue wearing this bra, and really like it. Again, the only flaw I see is the cone shaped bra cup, and again that is to be expected. I would recommend this bra but be warned about the cone shapes.  Price wise, this wasn't too bad but again, I preferred the Wacoal sports bra. I feel like the Wacoal bra fits my shape a little better.

From what I can recall, the pricing is about the same on the Wacoal and Freya, the Wacoal was a bit more expensive *around 5 dollars* but I liked the shape and fit of the Wacoal better

So, my rating is this-It is comfortable, and fits well, but with the cups looking so funny/cone shaped sticking out, I do not recommend wearing this under tighter fitting t-shirts, because it will draw attention and look funny. Four out of five for me, I didn't like how it had a cone shape to it that stuck out.

Rating: 4/5
Pros: Supportive, red color(or variety, not just black, grey, and white).
Cons: The cone shape of the bra itself, band seemed a bit too tight but is manageable. This won't be a good bra if your weight fluctuates *a few weeks ago, the band doesn't even fit anymore*.


 Hope you are having a wonderful summer! Stay hydrated.

Wacoal Underwire Sports Bra Review

Once again, A Sophisticated Pair did a wonderful job helping me finding the perfect fitting bra. This time, I tried a different cup size from my normal ones, and it worked out really well. At first, I was worried but Erica from A Sophisticated Pair really knows what she is doing, and I can't say enough how happy I am I didn't have to return this, as in it fits perfectly. This bra did really well yesterday working both jobs where I am extremely active. It was supportive, and nice. It really kept my dry, and kept the bouncing down pretty well. How does this stack up to other sports bras? I cant really say quite yet *I ordered the wrong size Panache from another place, so its hard to compare when one doesn't fit* I will say with all the moving around I did, this did really well at encapsulating my breasts, and keeping them in place. The only thing I find a little funny about this bra is the picture shows you the front of the bra. I figured I was wearing that wrong since the back of this is actually smooth, but that is how it is. Still does a wonderful job, and I would definitely suggest picking one up if you need support at work. The price was actually around the same as the Panache, so when I do get my other 2 sports bra orders in, I will give feed back between the three. As for right now-I am in love, and really like wearing this bra. I wish I had another one actually, that is how good it is. As a reviewer though, I want to be diverse on the Bras I look into, rather than sticking with one brand. How can you know what you like until you try everything? The material is sturdy, and can handle hard days. This one is a keeper, and I would recommend picking one up.

Rating: Five out of Five-This is a great sports bra!
Pros: Smooth cup, fits really well, and adjusts well. Also seemed to minimize bounce
Cons: None, perhaps if they had a red color I would buy another.

Panache Cleo Jude Review

Let me start off by saying wow, this bra is amazing. I cant believe how well it fits me, even my partner was impressed with it. I thought to myself "this fits like a glove" *which is extremely rare for me, so pick this one up*.

 Thankfully, A Sophisticated Pair figured my size out right away, so I didn't need to return this at all.

To begin-It fits well, its beautiful, and I love it. I will probably end up buying another one, in a different color that's how good it is. I was actually at work, then I had to do some physically demanding work *moving at a fast pace, putting product out on the shelf, etc* and this bra held up well, not having any problems. I usually wear a sports bra *unfortunately, I am wearing the wrong size because I didn't get fitted properly (I should have gone to A Sophisticated Pair first), and will have to wait until the right size sports bras come in* and this actually did about the same as the sports bra, I felt like. Its amazing what good fit can do. The colors are beautiful, and this is a fun all day bra in my opinion. I felt very supported, and that is something I don't usually feel. Panache just seems to be a wonderful brand. This bra is great, and I would highly recommend it.The material is good, and even if its hot or cold, you don't have to worry about coverage, this bra offers good coverage and support.It also stays in place well when you are active.  Honestly, for the price, and great customer service though, I would go to A Sophisticated Pair.  There you have it, excellent bra. Gets a five out of five from me.
