Comments about Moving Comfort Maia Sports Bra:
I'm a 34D who is not exactly firm and perky. I need support, or I end up with sore everything (breasts, chest, shoulders) and bad chafing on top of it all. I've tried so many bras over the years, and this is the first one that actually fits well and provides good support and some shape. I run anywhere from 3-8 miles daily and have no complaints.

Comments about Moving Comfort Maia Sports Bra:
First off, I would not order this bra online. I wear a 36D-38D, depending on the bra manufacturer. According to the Moving Comfort sizing chart, I should be a 40B. Instead, the bra which turned out to fit me was a 38C. The cups for the D cup are pretty much enormous -- they are way bigger than my everyday D-cup bras, and look like at least a DDD to me. You should actually go to an REI retail outlet, if one is available in your area, and try on several different sizes. Otherwise, be prepared for a few rounds of exchanges in the mail.However, once you find the correct size for your own unique boobage, this is a great sports bra. I am really susceptible to chafing, and with an inferior sports bra, I bounce so much that my entire upper body gets sore. This bra cut the bounce down to the bare minimum, and didn't chafe at all. I find it to be extremely comfortable.The bra does have a slightly weird construction -- there are two separate layers of fabric which sort of slide over each other when you're putting the bra on, but it doesn't affect the bra's performance or comfort once it's on. The other thing is that the seams on this beast are[*] HUGE, so they are basically guaranteed to show through any T-shirt you are wearing. Also, the neck of the bra comes up really high, so if you like to wear lower-cut shirts when you work out, the bra will show through.I like this bra a lot though, and I will probably buy it again.

Comments about Moving Comfort Maia Sports Bra:
I've tried several sports bras and this is the only one that I've bought again and again. If you are large breasted and enjoy high impact sports this is the bra for you. Unlike another reviewer, I found that this bra is true to size. I wear a 34DD in my everyday bras and a 34DD in the Maia. I don't mind the high neck feature on this bra - sports bras are strictly about function as far as I'm concerned. The Maia truly delivers a sports bra that minimizes motion, and it is breathable - and it doesn't give the wearer a "unibreast" look. I run 15-20 miles a week and I wouldn't think of running in any other bra. It is also a great bra for the times I go to the gym to lift weights.

Comments about Moving Comfort Maia Sports Bra:
It's hard to find a comfortable, supportive sports bra if you're busty! I think I've tried every one out there, and this one is probably my favorite. I think I own 3 of them. Comfortable, supportive, and wears well. I love that it breaths well, and that the straps stay put. The straps are pretty wide too; they don't cut into my shoulders.

Comments about Moving Comfort Maia Sports Bra:
Great bra for large breasted women. Bought 2. However, I am noticing a disturbing problem the longer I have it. The band is mildewing and/or molding. Never have I seen this in ANY bra I have had. After a morning workout at the gym, wet clothes go into the bag until I get home from work. The band under the cups has blotches of black. No amount of scrubbing or bleach removes it. YUCK! For this reason, I wouldn't buy another.

Comments about Moving Comfort Maia Sports Bra:
Just bought my first Moving Comfort bra and wore it in a race. It is so comfortable, gives you good support, does not flatten your bust, does not ride up or dig in, and does not require a contortionist to put on. Like it so much that I ordered two more to wear to the gym. I am a 36C and found it true to size. All other bras I have tried on flatten you out and I get stuck in them. Love that this has regular straps that don't dig in, rather than the racer style. Would have liked it a little lower cut to make it more sexy, but comfort makes it worth it.
