When Staingirl Elle eats out, she invariably gets a stain on her shirt. It’s that darned shelf, always getting in the way! Well, Staingirl Elle needs to cut back on eating out and start exercising a lot more. Her sister suggested running a half-marathon with her – not too sure about that. But Staingirl Elle does need to get moving, and so began the latest quest for a sports bra that will hold the girls together and not let them slap her around.

I’ve tried holding my double-D’s in with so many types of sports bras. But invariably there is that uncomfortable bounce feeling. And you get to thinking that when you get old (which used to be forty-something, but we now know better), the girls will be slapping the knees if you don’t protect them. Then you have to run or do your aerobic workout with at least one hand crossed in front of your breasts to hold them in better – not good for form. Some women wear two sports bras – how comfortable is that? Eventually I found a couple of bras that were a little better, but I could never really run in them. Enter the Enell Sports Bra.

The Enell Sports Bra is the best bra I have ever used for minimizing bounce. Jumping up and down, you can see a minimal bounce, but you can’t feel it. It has a full back and thick shoulderstrap and rib cage band, all of which combine to provide the complete breast support I have been looking for. Better yet, there is no underwire to eventually break and dig in to the breasts. I have to add that it is the first non-underwire bra that I have ever found that holds the girls up properly. The material has a comfortable satiny feel.

I cannot tell a lie – some people think it’s attractive, but I would not call it sexy. The first time you try on the Enell Sports Bra, it can be a bit of a challenge as it requires tucking the girls in while hooking 11 eyelets in the front. However, after that first time it becomes easy, and many women are wearing the bra as a minimizer under their clothing.

One extra tip if you buy an Enell Sports bra: When I compared bra sizes, I found that I was in between sizes. I opted for the smaller size to for better support when running. However, if you are planning on doing lower impact aerobics, you may want to go with the next size up.

Enjoy running without that bounce. Now if only we could find a way to run without having to huff and puff!
