I'm really on the fence deciding on this bra; as you know how things are on Amazon if you want more of the same item you better get it when you see it is available, or either one-the price increases, or two- it's gone forever. Well I am a huge proponent of made in USA, so that's why I want to really love this bra, also I have been trying several types of sport bras after my breast surgeon who for several reasons wants me to quit wearing an underwire bra, but in my case I've not been 100% happy with the bras I've been trying. I'm just glad Amazon prime has free shipping and free returns. Hence my buying bras and thinking I love them and then wear them a day or two and hate them. So send back the ones I didn't wear. I've done the under armour route, champion, Calvin Klein, RBx, and some others to name a few of the brands I've tried. The only other one I liked about 75% was NUX. They too are made in the USA. Are they pricey? Not really, considering that this bra will most likely outlast 3 of the cheaper bras. I am wearing one of the many I just ordered on Amazon, giving it a whirl. I do not run, I walk. I am almost 55, and the compression I think at my time of life is important, to keep the cooper liagaments in the breast tissue from further damage. If you like compression, this is the bra you want. I also my must wear a bra to sleep, due to advice from my surgeon who has preformed biopsies on me a few times. I also have very lumpy breast tissue, and it just feels good to have this compression. I did sleep in this bra; and I have to say it was on a scale of one to ten ten the best for comfort, so far I rate this a 7. It is minimizing - I am a 36dd-ddd and I think it takes me down to a c. Maybe even a b. I bought these in xlarge. The bra has some encapsulation along with the compression. It isn't a lightweight bra by any means. Pretty substantial, the other thing I did notice and maybe it's just me; my posture is better. The straps are ehhh so so. I don't find them bad but they are not really the best. The edges are somewhat itchy, even after washing in woolite. I love that they are wider, I just returned a bunch I got and wore a couple that left me with red marks that still bother me. So maybe this bras strap comfort level will change as my shoulders heal. I'm use to red marks from regular bras, another reason my surgeon said ditch the regular bras. But being that the straps sit closer to the neck, I found that the ones I returned made my neck very sore from pressing on the nerves along the neck. So to be fair right now I'm rating this bra a 3 and half. I will be wearing this one and a few of the other colors for a week, I will do a new review in the next couple weeks. I ordered almost all the exlarges that Amazon had, or almost all. Cuz like I said if your gonna love it get all you can cuz they will either raise the price or they will all be gone. Also contacted the company zensah and they claim the large is the same as the exlarge, but I find this hard to believe based on other reviews. I was not given this bra for free, but I felt compelled to review it. I also tried the super band one from zensah, and I have to tell you they are not for me. Not anymore support then a cheap bra from Walmart. I will receive that one next. So if your want compression and some encapsulation this might be the bra for you. thanks Amazon for putting up with my search for the perfect 100% bra for me.As an avid runner of marathons and half marathons, I need a sports bra that keeps the girls in place. I'm not concerned about a sports bra creating cleavage. As a C cup I don't need to worry about uniboob, nor do I need hooks, adjustable straps, or Velcro that could potentially chafe during a long run. It seems to me that women with C cups are now overlooked by fitness magazines and clothing companies. Everyone is concerned with giving women with smaller busts more padding, or giving women with larger busts more adjustability, support, hooks, closures, etc. Those of us with C cups are the forgotten ones. We don't need extra padding to absorb 20 miles of sweat, nor do we need any hardware which could potentially chafe during said 20 milers. I feel like Zensah was thinking of us when it made the Gazelle. The miracle of compression is utilized in this sports bra to keep the girls in place, no extra hardware or gadgetry needed. There is no cumbersome padding, either. The Gazelle is just a really great sports bra. It is so good, I used it just a handful of times before wearing it for the Disney Marathon in January, where it performed like a champ. I highly recommend the Gazelle to all you C cups out there. It's easy to wear, supportive, and after a number of washings looks just as good as the day I took it out of the packaging. Though the cost is on the high side, if you are a runner putting in high mileage, this bra will earn back its price in how well it performs.I have the worst time finding sports bras for running, as the straps and bottom always cut into the skin above my ribs or rub my shoulders after a few miles. I've tried countless seamless bras since I can't stand the rubbing and pressure of the seams and undersides, but until now I haven't found one that offers enough support. This is the first bra in a long time that actually feels good for me to wear running! I'm so happy with this purchase. I wear a 32DD and got a size medium in this bra. It fits snug without being constricting. It's perfect for running marathons and climbing mountains, as well as all of the training that involves. I like how the back straps stay away from my shoulder bones and the front holds the girls in place without creating a uniboob, rubbing my ribs, or having a surprise popping out the top if I wear just a bra without a shirt during a hot workout. Overall, great bra. Expensive, but worth it. I've bought three more since my original purchase because I can't imagine running in anything else. This is my new go-to.I’ve spent hundreds of dollars trying different sports bras to stop my chafing and this is the first one that worked. Im a runner and other bras made me chafe and even bleed on long runs. I’m petite but am a 34 DDD. Just ran a marathon with this bra and did not chafe at all!! Doesn’t have as much bounce control as other sports bra but no chafing makes it worth a little bounce.I was familiar with the type of stretchy but sturdy fabric that Zensah uses, so bought one of these to see if it was supportive enough. I was pleasantly surprised. Nothing will completely eliminate bounce when you have larger breasts but this is one of the best for a non-underwire bra of this type. I often wear another thin, less-supportive stretchy bra under my sturdier bras, and the combination not only reduces bounce further but prevents against chafing. I like the ribcage band on this bra but thought the black binding around the straps might chafe a little on a long run, so the double-bra approach works well for me.Pros: cup size fit well & good support, nice color & materialCons: Needs to be thicker in front or pad inserts, also pleats in front cause shirts to not lay nice over it. It also fit too snug on my shoulders.Best sports bra! Needed a supportive and non-chafing sports bra and ordered after seeing it in Runners World. Wore it in a marathon soon after buying-no problems!This is the only bra I can run in without chafing. Amazing.
