Let's just be real, our sports bra needs can very drastically based on our chest size, whether you have had babies, what your sport of choice is, etc. The sports bra you choose has to fit your breasts and fit your fitness activities, and with so many choices out there it can get overwhelming. Yep, I have been guilty of doing jumping jacks and running in place in fitting rooms to make sure that "the girls" stay put when trying on sports bras. (I might have even taken pictures and videos of it to make sure I am not destined to be "that girl" looking awkward at my next race or in finish line photos)
Last week I was given the opportunity to check out a Handful bra and I was pretty pumped for a number of reasons: (1) I have heard so many great things about them from friends who swear by them (2) the bra was coming directly to me based on my measurements and their size chart (so no awkward trip to the store).

With breast cancer becoming sadly more and more common, Handful has special programs for survivors called "Breast Friends Forever" and Friends With Benefits that you can learn more about here. It's programs like these that really make companies stand out from the rest. Even if breast cancer does not impact you directly, I highly encourage you to check out what Handful is doing and pass along these programs to women that you know that can benefit from it.
Designed to flatter, not flatten® with convertible and adjustable straps, the Handful Adjustable Bra takes you from work to workout to weekend! Comfortable and flattering, its versatility is unmatched whether in the Board Room, at a Yoga Retreat, running a marathon or wine tasting with friends.

I was so crazy pleased with the fit from the moment I slipped it on! Everything just felt right - not too constricting, not too loose, just right. Honestly, I almost felt like I was just wearing a swim top based on the comfort level. Comfort is important, but lets just be real, the main point of a sports bra is function and support. The true test would come at the gym.
