Anita Air Control Padded Cup Sports Bra

My first purchase of this bra was in a thrift store!Loved it so I looked up 'anita bra'and got a couple more.I usually wear a 40D so I got a 40D.I kept it...close enough in size and keeps me from overheating at work.I have ordered a 40C.The one from the thrift store didn't have a size tag and i cut it out of new bra too because it's pretty freakin' long.I probably could wear a 38 but allowing for some shrinkage.I do have a tiny bit of 'pucker' so I went down one cup size.I'm 57.I really don't like bras but since we HAVE to I'm glad I found this one.Anthracite is a nice low-key black like dark charcoal.The light blue w/neon is very pretty.I got the one I ordered first in like 2 days and was hoping the other would ship fast but I guess they only provide that courtesy to first time buyers, since it won't be shipping until months' end.It's the eighth.It said there was one left in stock online so 🤔EDIT: I used the bra sizing chart they offered.The band size was too small, so when I ordered I got a bra that was too small.Also, the band for these is supposed to fit very tight so it won't slide around.I got a bad rash under my boobs so I used moleskin to fix the bra and took a tuck in one side.It worked.You have to pay for returns so I won't order any more since these are expensive.I prob. wouldn't have ordered if I had known about the rubbing causing a rash, either.Also, says my refund was applied 2 days ago but not seeing it anywhere so far.To be continued...

I really wanted to like this $80 sports bra, especially with the good reviews and unique design... but in the end, there was not enough vertical support for me. The band and cups fit great, and the padding on the straps was very comfortable, but I am short-waisted with high-set breasts, so strap adjustments are always an issue with bras on me. I tightened them as far as they would go but there was still too much bounce when I did high-intensity exercise. When it comes to doing cardio with a bustier frame, we gotta have those babies tied down tight! I actually ordered two different cup sizes to try... one that was my normal cup size (DD) and one a cup size smaller (D). I would have gone with the smaller size (D) if the straps had had more adjustment room. The Panache non-wired sports bra worked better for my body!

Sadly, this bra just doesn't work for me. I'm a 34 F or G, depending on the style, and I ordered an F. It fits, and it's supportive, but there is not enough separation between the breasts. I have tried so many non-underwire bras, and none of them work well. My personal experience is that at cup size F/DDD and up, and probably even for most DD cups, an underwire is necessary if you don't want your boobs to become a squished-together sweat sandwich.

I first bought Anita bras in 2004 from a bra shop. They were so comfortable that I bought three (most expensive non-wire bras I had brought), right then - gave up wearing my underwire bra that I had worn into the shop, to wear one of the Anita bras. I eventually bought enough that I could wear them as my every day bra, even though the style I bought was a mid-level support sports bra.Then Katrina happened and the supply was gone (for good I thought), and then the store I had bought from closed down, and I never got them replaced. I have tried many different brands over the years. I like some of the Glamorise, but nothing ever felt as comfortable or looked as natural as my Anita sport bras - which I still wear. They have stood the test of time, but are not as supportive after 16 years of wear as they were. I was so happy to find a new Anita sports bra that once again, feels as comfortable and looks as good as my old Anitas. My budget is tighter than it used to be, so I will have to buy as I can afford, (one at a time), to build up enough so I can wear them as my every day bras.The bright colored one I bought I will set aside for exercise, but the dark ones look fine under my clothes.

I gained weight recently and had a 50k ultrarun coming up. I realized my trusty Anita sports bra had gotten too small, and would be squeezing my ribs, reducing my breathing. This brand has done so well for me in a few models since i went down in size, and gets such love from bigger athletes, too, i trusted another size was exactly what i needed. I measured myself and picked out this model for the increased ventilation, because i know thats what i like, even though my old model was already the most breathable sports bra ever. Getting it last minute, it even came a day or two early, I had no time to test this, so just trusted it. Wonderful performance! It supported me, kept me comfortable and let me breathe...skin and lungs both, all day. No chafing anywhere when i took it off.

The Anita Women's Air Control Padded Cup Sports Bra is exactly what I was hoping for. I was looking for a super comfortable bra with good support that still looks great - and that is exactly what I got. I am wearing an E Cup and would not feel comfortable to go jogging in this bra, but for lighter impact sport it will definitely work. For high impact sports I recommend the Anita Extreme Control or the Anita Momentum - both are fantastic.I love this bra and will get more in the future.

A friend of mine recommended this bra after doing some research. I thought it was pricey, but I hadn’t had luck with finding sports bras with high impact support that were also comfortable to wear. I bought this one along with a different brand with underwire so I could compare. I immediately noticed how comfortable this one felt. It was adjustable in back and on the straps, so I was able to get the perfect fit for me. I’m a 32DDD so I ordered 32F and and it fit true to size. It was a lot more breathable than my regular spandex bras, and it also offered ample support on a mountain bike ride.

I’ve worn Shock Absorber sports bras for years and have been looking for a new one. I came across this brand and liked the look of it. I am a 30F but ordered a 30G as this is the equivalent UK size. Great fit. Easy on and off being like a normal bra. My only slight issue is that I am short in the body and I have to have the shoulder straps at their shortest. Remember to convert you size to get the proper fit.

Good looking bra and fits perfectly. A little more constrictive than I prefer but gives plenty of support ideal if you’re doing more vigorous workouts.

I really love this bra. I wear it for running and I can't feel a thing! (I have to say, though, that I am a rather small size. Might be different for larger breasts.)It was a bit tricky to get the right size. With Marie Joe, I'm usually a 30E, here I had to pick 34B.

This is the best sports bra I owned and it fits great. It also looks a lot better than any sports bra I've seen, and most importantly, it offers great support.

This bra fits really well, is very comfortable and provides me with excellent support. I use it when I go running. I am familiar with this brand as I already have the same bra but needed a different size. It’s expensive but really worth it.
