Hi! Continuing my running reviews from last post. Hope this helps people. I recently picked up a run times bra at the outlet for $39! I have had terrible luck in the past with lulu’s medium/high support bra offerings. I run between a 34H and 36G and, for the most part, there hasn’t been a single lulu option that could control the bounce WITHOUT feeling like I was a sausage waiting to bust out the casing lol.
I took this bra out for a 5k and was pleasantly surprised! It isn’t perfect, but is significantly better than the other options ive tried. I found that i needed to size up to a 38G in order to get the right fit- I still put the hook on the tightest setting, but ive found lulu’s cup sizes to run small. Unlike other bra-adjacent lulu sports bras that i cant even put on with the straps fully extended, the straps actually fit! On the run, the bounce was definitely still there but was very well controlled. I didn’t feel constricted or as if anything was digging in. No soreness in the chest or back after either!
Ive kind of come to terms with the fact that, at my size, i can’t get both full bounce control AND a bra that isn’t a bulletproof medieval torture device. I dont think I’d pay full price for this as I have cheaper options perform the same for a way lower price (and im just a broke med student lol). I think this is discontinued but I’d happily pick this up if I saw it on the secondhand market or outlet in a cute color!
Outfit: run times bra 38G in haze pink, base pace 8" short in copper brown size 8
