Sports Bra Review – Berlei Ultimate Performance

A group of Operation Movers were invited to experience the unique fitting system and fantastic service offered at She Science. Each Mover was prescribed the best sports bra for their needs, and in the coming weeks we will share their thoughts on the products.

In January I had the privilege of going to She Science and having a sports bra professionally fitted. I have to tell you this was smack bang in the middle of Melbourne’s heat wave and the very idea of hanging out in an air conditioned store had me sold, as sadly we have no air con at home. But the She Science ladies are nothing if not about moving, so into a new sports bra I was and onto the treadmill. At the start of my fitting Tish asked me if I knew my size, I replied 14C fairly confidently. She measured me and shook her head. My heart sank – I’m a 16, I thought, how did I let this happen and why does it seem I’m the last to know? Unfortunately it seems I still do a lot of my thinking out loud and my new BFF quickly informed me that I wasn’t a 16 or even a 14, but sitting somewhere between a 10 and 12. I also wasn’t a C cup, I was a DD or possibly E. In one morning I was refreshingly cool, skinnier and had larger breasts – go to She Science! They make you feel good!! As someone who is fairly shy, but usually covers it up by talking – a lot – (sorry guys), I loved how discreet the fitting was. Tish would bring me a bra, explain its benefits and leave me to put it on, while being close enough to assist if needed. She would then come back and I would hop on the treadmill to see how it felt and looked while exercising. This system allows you to compare different bras on the same screen and gives such an interesting and accurate picture of how much your breasts move while running. It also allowed me to see the ridiculous faces I pull while exercising which I am attributing wholly to treadmills, reinforcing my decision to quit the gym and focus on outdoor running. I think I would have spent at least 40 mins with Tish, tried on 4 different bras and settled on the Berlei Ultimate Performance. As well as feeling awesome and keeping the girls beautifully in place, it has a inbuilt mp3 pocket – I love it! The other thing I loved is that at no time did I feel rushed or pressured.

I am a massive online shopper and love a good recommendation so left to my own devices would have gone for the Juno Moving Comfort ( in the wrong size). But while being a great bra for so many movers, this didn’t suit me. I loved everything about She Science. It was a really positive shopping experience and I will definitely be back. I especially love that their range covers everything from the teeny weeny to the larger lady, something I know can be difficult to find in the sports apparel.

Sports Bra Review – Moving Comfort Juno

Recently a group of Operation Movers were invited to experience the unique fitting system and fantastic service offered at She Science. Each Mover was prescribed the best sports bra for their needs, and in the coming weeks we will share their thoughts on the products.

Kate Says:

When I started running I realised pretty quickly that a good sports bra was not a want but a must have. Anyone who has ever experienced underboob chafing will know exactly why that is.

I bought a Berlei Ultimate Performance sports bra because I could not get my head around any bra without underwires. It was great for a while, but in time I found that the band underneath started to roll up during a run and I needed to wear a crop top as well to feel supported.

It was around that time that I first hear about the Moving Comfort Juno. I ordered one online and from my first run I knew I had found the perfect bra for me. Despite the lack of wires, it was supportive and comfortable and I ran hundred’s of kilometres in it through rain, hail and shine without once experiencing any chafing.

When I attended my fitting at She Science I was interested to see if they would recumbent the same bra, especially as I had lost a fair bit of weight and my boobs had taken off along with it.

After being measured up I tried a few different bras out using their video technology and a treadmill to assess for support and stability. While the other brands were good, they just didn’t offer the same level of support for my shape and so I left with a beautiful new blue Juno, albeit in a smaller band size than I was wearing because like many women I hadn’t been fitted in years and was wearing the wrong size for me.

Because I have been pregnant and/or breastfeeding for so long, compressive support is important for me when I run. My breasts are definitely nothing like they were before all those years of hard work, and I’m happy to have found the perfect bra for my needs. When they change shape again as they are bound to in time, I’ll be heading back to She Science for sure!

Sports Bra Review – Shock Absorber Ultimate Run Bra

I was so happy to be invited along to She Science to try out their sports bra fitting service. I’ve gone through almost all of my life without ever having a bra fitting! It was just something too daunting and I really thought I knew my size. I didn’t, I’ve been getting it wrong my whole life probably! I had one fitting recently and have no idea why I worried so much. The fitting at She Science was fantastic. So relaxed yet professional at the same time. The staff are so welcoming and really know their stuff!

There are so many bras to choose from and I really liked their idea of trying a couple of bras that fit the criteria you usually like (ie. crossover back, no underwire, etc) and then trying one that is different just in case you do happen to like the feel of it. I loved this idea because if I’d been getting the size wrong for 20+ years, maybe I’d been getting the style wrong as well!

When the bras were on, it was time to get on the treadmill and have a little run while being videoed. Apart from showing my quite hilarious running style, I could easily see how much breast movement there was in each bra. This really did help me in making a decision because a few of the bras felt quite similar on. The footage is instantly deleted at the end of the fitting so there is no need to worry about that either.

I bought home a Shock Absorber Ultimate Run bra and I love it! It’s comfortable, provides complete coverage and great support. I’ve managed to try it out kickboxing, walking, running and just sitting around the house. I LOVE it! It is exactly the right size, the shoulder straps don’t slip, I don’t fall out of it when I bend over, the girls don’t bounce all over the place while running or kicking and it’s comfortable enough to wear for the day. All of this is because it fits!!! That’s what you get when you go to She Science, the right bra!

The trip to She Science was such a positive experience, especially for someone who has never been in that kind of environment, is not as skinny as a model and a little shy and anxious. I would definitely go back again and have been recommending them to everyone since!

Sports Bra Review – Moving Comfort Juno

I consider myself to be an active person, enjoying and trying most sports. My sport of choice is netball and I have been playing it for as long as I can remember. In the last six months I have also taken up running.

Being into sports, I have tried various brands and styles of sports bras but I have never been one to spend a lot of money on them. I am the girl who goes into a large retail store and buys a bra without trying it on, hoping that it fits ok.

When i was offered the chance to go to She Science and be correctly fitted and tested for a sports bra I quickly jumped at it. I was measured first and then I was given a number of bras to try on and test. They ranged in style and brands. The staff were fabulous! I was then advised as to which bra best suited me. This was the Juno bra by Moving Comfort. It is firm, racer back (perfect for under my netball dress!!), high at the front so there isn’t any bulging, and most of all it is so comfortable.

After trying on all of these great sports bras, and then putting my old sports bra on, I was shocked at how little support my old cruddy bra gave me, the difference was incredible!!

A few days later I took my Juno bra out for a run. It was amazing, there wasn’t any bouncing or discomfort. It didn’t roll up underneath my breasts, and i didn’t get any chafing!!

I’ve been so amazed at how awesome the Juno Moving Comfort bra is, and I’ll definitely be looking at investing in a couple more.

She Science now offers an online store, for those who are too far away to have an in-store experience. Check out their blog for tips on how to make sure you are getting the right fit for you.
