ESSENTIAL BRAS

ADIDAS Techfit Control Medium-Support Bra

£65|XS (A-B)-XL (D-DD)|adidas.co.uk|TesterLaura

This bra really surprised me – in a good way. I didn’t hold out much hope for it when it first arrived as I’ve never found that pull-on style bras work that well for me. I generally go for something with cups and fastenings. However, this bra had a good amount of compression that keeps everything in place while still being comfortable. It didn’t eliminate movement completely, it just offers a smoother landing and shock absorption. I ran four miles in it off the bat and could have forgotten all about my boobs if it wasn’t for having to zone in on them for the purposes of this review. I usually wear a 32D in regular bras and the UK size Small worked for me. The bra is described as offering medium support but I found it performed better than many boasting high support. It also looks good and I’d happily wear it without a t-shirt.
