Coobie Bra Reviews

I have undergone some weight fluctuations so currently the 36Ds I have do fit but I seem to be having a bit of growth, so currently I have been using these types of bras, since I want to wait until the weight fluctuations are done before figuring out my bra size again.

I wanted to write a few reviews for the Coobie bras. Pictured from left to right is the Sports bra, the Scoop Neck bra, and the Comfort bra.  Each bra is around 20-25 bucks so the pricing is very reasonable, and they are comfortable. They do offer multiple colors on the Scoop Neck, Sports bra, and Comfort bra. The one thing different from most bras is these come in a few sizes. The regular can hold up to a 36D from what I understand.

From left to right: Coobie Sports bra(purple), Coobie Scoop Neck(black), and the Comfort Bra(grey).

I wanted to review the one pictured in the middle, the Scoop Neck bra first, because I have had the most experience with it. I have found this to be very comfortable. These are great for relaxing or very light type of work *such as cashiering or doing a job with little movement*. I bet these would be really comfortable to sleep in too.  I will say, if I had to pick something to complain about, it would be the support, and the straps themselves. I have had the straps twist on me numerous times at work, and had to do a little adjusting. This is very minor though because these are so comfortable. I would like to see a little bit more support in the bra because at work, I feel there is a little "bouncing" if I get more active, but that is not a huge deal.

The Coobie Scoopneck has removable pads, and removable straps.

My next review is going to be the comfort bra, which is on the right hand side, grey colored, and I will be updating that either tonight or tomorrow.

The comfort bra fit really well, and I felt like it held me up a bit better than the scoopneck. With each bra, since there is no under wire, you may feel a little bounce. These bras are great for relaxing and having an easy day. The comfort bra didn't have strap issues like the other bra did.   I wore the comfort bra all day, and there was never an issue. If I had to pick a favorite of the three, it would be this one.


 The sports bra which is picture in purple, on the left hand side, is supportive, but I also did notice some bounce. I would call it light compression. It did its job, and held up well during my day, although I held back at work a little bit because the support just wasn't there as well.

Thank you for reading my blog and feel free to leave any comments! I love input.

Enell LITE review.

Hello fellow readers. I wanted to post my review of the Enell lite. This bra is actually really comfortable, and has had pretty good impact on bounce control. In terms of comfort, this feels like the comfortable Natori sports bras that do not fit me anymore, but are wonderful. The only complaints I have with the bra is that there are many hooks which im not used to, so you'll want to give yourself a bit of time to prepare for buttoning them up in the morning. I also wish they had more colors.

Also, it is a bit pricey but well worth it. I genuinely enjoy wearing this bra more than some of my other sports bras frankly, and in terms of comfort and all that, this is a winner. For the price, is it worth it? I will have to give it a bit more thorough test, but since I drive a pick up truck and my ride to work can be described as *bouncy* I did not have a problem with this today, and that was shocking for me.

Support Level-Awesome, seriously. No bra has ever held my breasts in place this well. I am in love with this bra.
Price Tag-Around 80 for the LITE bra.
 Washing/Care-Hand washing is probably best but in a lingerie bag on delicate cycle should be fine too.
Colors/Design-. This is my one other gripe, I loved the Orchid color, but they only had Black, Yellow, Pink, and White I believe. I would have loved the Orchid color but that isn't made. I opted for the black instead.
Complaints-The only complaint besides the colors is it takes a little bit of time to snap up compared to your other sports bras, however this snaps in the front thankfully so its not too bad.I think it has 6-8 hooks to snap up, compared to the normal 3-4. This is actually a good thing though because it means you are getting way better support. 
Comments-This is a new favorite, and blows most of the other sports bras out of the water, if not all.  Rating-5/5

Freya Sports Bra Review

Hello readers. I know it has been awhile since my last post. Today, I am going to review the Freya Sports bra in the cosmic blue color. The band on this bra is just right in my opinion, its not "too tight" or "too loose" It fits pretty well, and activity level wise it does help to minimize bounce.I was delighted to see something out of the normal range of colors *grey, black, tan* and this was a definite treat. This bra is supportive, and also seems to dry quickly if you are sweating while working out *which is a very nice feature* You can do cross-straps on this as well which is nice. I would recommend this one for anyone doing anything athletic.

Support Level-Good to great
Price Tag-?
 Washing/Care-Hand washing is probably best but in a lingerie bag shouldn't be too bad on the delicate cycle.
Colors/Design-Great colors on this one, I was blown away by how pretty the blue is.
Complaints-None. If i had to make one, it would be its not as soft as the Natori ones but still wonderful.
Comments-If I recall right, this one was a bit higher priced but was really good for work. I would get another one. The color selection was nice and I would recommend this one to a friend.
Rating-5/5

Sports Bra Reviews

I wanted to offer a summary about the Sports Bras I have purchased so far. I wanted to also explain what I think is the Best Sports Bra available out of the four brands I have, and which ones I didn't feel did as well. Please note all the bras are great, I am not criticizing them negatively, just explaining if I see anything that I would like to improve upon.

Cost wise-The Natori was the cheapest at fourty eight dollars, and the Panache was the most expensive at sixty eight dollars.

Shape Wise-All of the bras except the Freya had a nice regular shape. The Wacoal and the Natori stayed the truest to the breast shape, and the Panache does the same as well. The Freya bra had a cone shape to it in the cup, and drew more attention to my chest then I would have liked. I generally avoid wearing the Freya unless I will be wearing a work shirt or baggier clothes all day, then it isn't so bad.

Durability Wise-All the bras did well, I do not see any flaws in any of the bras with the material handling work.

Comfort Wise-The Natori Sports Bra is byfar the most comfortable, I feel like I could sleep in it. All the others are comfortable as well but the Natori takes the cake in comfort.

Activity Level-All the sports bras did well, the Panache one especially feels very supportive but they all are.


I am off to work, hope you have a wonderful weekend dear readers!

Panache Sports Bra Review

Hello, hope everyone is going to have a fantastic, fun weekend up ahead of them. This time, I wanted to review the Panache Sports Bra. I will also look into posting a "Sports Bra Competition" between the Four Bras with my reviews, which will be basically I will look into price, durability, shape, and other things I can hopefully think of when I am typing the next review :P.

Alright, well the Panache bra is definitely supportive, and does a wonderful job at work with whatever activity you are doing. I cannot really think of any complaints with this one, however I will definitely say compared to the soft material of the Natori, this isn't a super comfy bra *it still feels good at work, but in terms of comfort, the Natori takes the cake*. In terms of price, its around 70 dollars, which is fair but I feel it is a bit pricy. The shape that the cups take when wearing a t-shirt is fine, it does not have the cone shape compared to the Freya. I like how sturdy the Panache bra is, and how it would definitely be good for any activity workout/job you may be doing.

The Pros-Decent amount of colors to purchase, not just black and white. Very sturdy, nice shape under a t-shirt.

The Cons-A bit pricy *but fair, I have heard that these can last up to two years with good care*. The material is pretty comfortable but it is not as comfy as the Natori *although I think this will handle more activity better than the Natori*

Rating-Five out of Five, this isn't what I would call a "relaxing bra" like the Natori Sports one, but it does its job well. This is a good any level of activity bra.

Natori Sports Bra Review

 Happy Friday the 13th!!

 

The Natori Sports bra arrived earlier today, and I was blown away at how comfortable this is. It is so comfortable, I plan on ordering two. In terms of support, I am not sure yet how it stacks up compared to the others, and I will be reporting on that further down the road. They have very basic colors *red, grey, black, and white*. For the price, I would say this is one of the most reasonable, all around wonderful sports bra. The material itself feels very cotton like, and is wonderful.

I honestly do not have any complaints about this bra, and honestly prefer it over all the other sports bras I own *hence why I will order a second one*. I like how, like the Wacoal, it conforms to the breast shape instead of being cone shaped like the Freya. This is a sports bra you can both relax in, and work hard/play hard in. This and the Jude Cleo by Panache are the best value for the money in my opinion.

Rating: 5/5-good value, seems supportive, and is actually comfortable. Doesn't feel constricting like some of the bras do. I could sleep in this bra, and this is one of the only bras I own that are really that comfortable. 

Have a lovely Friday the 13th

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.
