Let me start by saying - this bra is a GAME CHANGER for busty women who love to move. As someone who's struggled with finding proper support during workouts, the Glamorise #1166 has been my holy grail for high-impact activities.
The MagicLift technology truly works wonders - no wires digging into your ribs, yet incredible lift and support. I've worn it for everything from intense HIIT sessions to long walks, and my girls don't budge an inch. That adjustable front panel? Genius. You can customize the compression level based on your activity.
Now let's talk sizing - this is CRUCIAL. The band runs notoriously small. I typically wear 38 but had to size up to 40 for comfortable breathing room. The cups run large though - I dropped from my usual DDD to DD. Pro tip: order two sizes during sales to find your perfect fit.
The moisture-wicking fabric keeps me surprisingly dry, even during sweaty workouts. However, I'll be honest - the material isn't the softest against skin when dry. It does soften up once you start sweating though.
The hook-and-eye closure with multiple columns is brilliant for adjusting as your body changes (weight fluctuations, menstrual cycles etc.). Just be prepared for a slight learning curve with the front clip system - it took me a few tries to master it without a mirror!
While you do get that dreaded 'uniboob' effect (let's be real, what high-impact bra doesn't?), the comfort and support more than make up for it. At this price point (especially during sales), it outperforms bras twice as expensive.
Final verdict? If you're curvy and active, this bra deserves a spot in your workout rotation. Just pay close attention to sizing quirks - it might take some trial and error but once you nail the fit, you'll wonder how you ever worked out without it.
