I got these last time they were up on sport.woot. They are incredibly comfortable, but leave a bit to be desired in the "support" realm. Fine for everyday use, but not so much for actual sports.

They have a 90 day warranty?!

I'm going to try these out. When the girls are happy, I'm happy. It's worth a shot.

Does anyone have any sizing suggestions? True to size or size up or size down?

From what I've heard, these are better for leisure than sport. You could probably get away doing yoga in them.

Fun Fact: all three pictures are the same woman with her hair put up in different ways. I wish I could remember my snappy comment from last time these were on sale.

Edit: I found it, and boy was it a good one too bad it got deleted. (if you look hard enough there is still evidence of it)

I made up for my error by coming back with a Review From The Frisky Titled: Freedom Bras are definitely freeing

Last time I think someone mentioned they're not actually marketed as "sports" bras anyway, other than just being on sport.woot, but also suggested the possibility of wearing two for extra support, as appears to be depicted in some of the photos.

If you want to see something hilarious, though, check the price at freedom-bras.com. Perhaps that site exists solely to provide evidence that the list price is "real?" I can't imagine anyone would actually buy from there.

I would size up, got them last time and they run about a size small. Also it states to tumble dry them, but I think that might've contributed to the sizing issue I had.

NOT GOOD. i bought these last time and I'm not pleased with them. They're hard to get in & out of, and don't offer much support at all. I don't consider them to be good for sports at all, the girls are swinging around and bouncing. Maybe it's fine if you are a b-cup or smaller, but if you have a "nice healthy set of lungs", maybe not a good purchase for you.

Tried these and they are like wearing pantyhose on your chest. Very flimsy and fabric uncomfortable. If you are more than an A cup this is never going to be enough to be used as a sports bra...not even yoga.

Cheaper than other places but really not a good buy.

The trick with pull-on bras is to start out with them inside out and upside down... that way after you slide your arms up through, you can grab the bottom of the bra and pull it straight down.... they go on waaaaaaay easier that way.

As for comfort -- DD here, and find them very comfy -- and no support issue. But I bought 1 size down to ensure some support.

I wouldn't use these for running or aerobics, but for everyday just being alive, they're plenty.

I'm wearing one of these right now. I'm not looking forward to taking it off. I can't find a good way to take it off without getting my long hair tangled up in it.

Support: No. Just no. I can do light housework while wearing these, but nothing more strenuous than that. I haven't tried wearing two at once because getting one on and off is such a pain, I'd rather not double my fun.

Modesty: Err, no. Let's just say that neither the beige nor the white should be worn with translucent shirts. The black one is a little less see-thru.

Comfort: Either I've got Shoulders Of Steel, or these bras bind across the shoulder blades. Otherwise, they're slightly less comfortable than wearing nothing at all. Of course, they're slightly more supportive than nothing at all, so that makes sense.

Last time someone posted that she bought a size too large to wear as a sleep bra. The thought of wearing a sleep bra had never occurred to me, but if that's what you do, these might work for that. Otherwise, keep your expectations low and you won't be disappointed.

Exact opposite of what I'd say -- I sized down one to get some support from them -- maybe they're sized inconsistently?

Could be. I hang these to dry, and they've stayed pretty consistent in size.

Good, I feel better now that I've said something nice about them.

You could have posted your video from the previous woot, too. I'll let you do it if you want. I don't recall if it was $19.99 like tonight:

No bargain here...sorry woot! Bought 6 for less than half this price....


[MOD: Links or it didn't happen.]

I don't have these exact bras, but very similar ones from Bali, and I bought them a size smaller. As a 38DD I was technically a large, but I bought medium and they worked great as sleep bras. Having lost a lot of weight I lacked...shall we say, perkiness, so sleeping with something to just keep the girls where they should be was much more comfortable. Definitely not for sports, but for keeping things contained during down time? In for one (three?)

My mom taught me this trick to get in & out of them...step into them & pull them up. Don't try to put them on over your head, they'll twist up something awful.

They are very comfortable. Not terribly supportive. More of a casual, leisure bra. They don't give you that nasty under-boob sweat, I don't know how they do that but they are quite cool.

Sizing was about right. I machine wash them in a mesh bag & hang to dry. They dry very fast.

I recommend them, but not as a sport bra. More as a get comfortable under your day-off-slop-around-clothes.

It's already in the product description. that's why i didn't post it this time

My biggest complaint with this: is a large a 36-inch or 38-inch chest diameter? Is it smaller, larger? What constitutes XL? I wear an XL shirt due to my hip size, but if this is the same diameter as an XL shirt, it's going to be about as useful as wearing a t-shirt with no bra.

Thanks, but no thanks, Woot. If you put actual women's bra sizes on here, maybe.

Yup, I got them last time, too. And, I also checked out the internet site. However, I'll say that these are comparable to the SPANX version I have and their prices are even a bit MORE silly.
I'm not into sports at all so I can't comment on that but I've had a lifetime of over-endowment and I find these absolutely wonderful to sleep in. And, they keep you "decent" if you have others in your household and you decide to get a cup of coffee before dressing for the day. Just sayin'...

I'd agree, these aren't super supportive. I put the ones I bought last time on when I'm just pulling on t's or sweats or yoga pants around the house. I wouldn't feel particularly comfortable wearing them out and about.

I don't know if anyone has specifically mentioned that these are a SINGLE layer of fabric thick. I have some kind of similar sport bras and they were double, so that's what I expected with these. Not so--this single layer is more like the fabric in seamless knit underwear than a sport-bra-like weight.

I'm assuming since they state the size with the numbers: Large = 38/40
It's equivalent to a normal bra's band size.

I am a 40-C. I want to get these bras but (as usual) don't know if I should get "L" or "XL".
I hate bands that push against my stomach.

I'm not too concerned about support, just comfort. But! At $20 for three, will probably get a set of each size. Will report back if anyone would like to hear.

My bad, back to work. I still expect you to pass me in quality by the end of the year, though.

MOD: Links or it didn't happen.

Haven't seen 6 for under $10, as the GP seems to suggest, but I've always been able to find similar 3-pack sports bras at Walmart for $9-10:

strappy or racerback styles among others.

I find them to be comfortable and reasonably supportive, though I'm not especially endowed. I wouldn't go running in them, but for yoga or cycling, these are wonderful.

These bras are crap as far as support goes. Like wearing nylons on your boobs. Go at least a size down if you buy them. Don't bother trying to jog in them though. These are best for lounging.

I remember it... My jaw dropped. That was awesome... especially when you had to tell us in the second post that you haven't worn them.

And here is mine from last time... Not quite as exciting. And... This is my personal experience, we are all made a little different, so hopefully it will be helpful. I machine dry mine on low. They're tight at first, but stretch to perfection pretty quickly. I recommend first figuring out band size... for C down, sticking with labeled size will probably work, size up one for sleep/relaxing. For D up, size up one from band size automatically, and up one again for sleep/relaxing.

So here's my review.

Reviewed earlier, but didn't state my size...
Getting a bit personal here, so I'm a natural 34e to 36dd depending on the bra. Both the L and XL fit. The L is firmer support, and separates somewhat... I guess the uniboob effect would depend on the natural separation between the breasts, and also the firmness. I've had a child, and breastfed though, and I think they're pretty awesome. The L is also tighter around the ribcage... Thus why I like the XL for sleeping.
I would not wear this bra for: a night on the town; a jog; a night in with a new guy; pole dancing.
I would wear this for: yoga, intense gardening/yard work; household chores; a run to the store; work if covered by uniform (nurse, etc); hiking.
Basically, this bra works at support fabulously. Is it the sexiest bra around? Not by a long shot. Do I care? No. There are times to be sexy and times to be super darn comfy. I've still been checked out at the grocery store in it though. ;)

Edit: The book will be out soon.

I got these last time - run very small and are very flimsy. The cheapy pull on sports bras from walmart are MUCH better, at least for me. A lot of peeps complained that they smelled, but mine either didn't or I just didn't notice. I returned mine without issue.

Also if you are even the slightest bit wet( from shower, sweat, high humidity)... either use some baby/ body powder, wait a couple of mins, or grab a dry towel.( I would think any female over a B and/or over the age of 14 would understand but figured it couldnt hurt to be said)

As a longtime wooter, I think woot's decision to offer these is a bad and surprising move. They're low quality and they are ABSOLUTELY NOT for active sports. As others have said, maybe for yoga or light hiking. (Also, they come under various brand names and lately I've noticed pretty much constant sales on them from Groupon and other deal sites, so if for some reason you're considering them, don't feel this is a one-time opportunity in any way.) Not recommended and definitely don't belong on sport.woot.

Ah, women and their bras. Such amusing comments.

I have tiny little B cups so I should be fine with these. I ordered 3.

I wonder what the fellows are thinking of all this bosom talk.

Bought the jog support bra that was on last time and loved it! Found it very supportive (36c) and comfortable in a medium. These are not a jog bra, so wonder what the difference is.


[MOD: Same bra, just took the word 'Jog' out of the title since some people didn't feel that it would be good for sports. User feedback FTW.]

Ok I have read the comments here and on a previous offering and see mixed positive and negative reviews. I have also seen those late night info-mercials for Genie Bra. Are these the same product just different name as the Genie or just a similar product?

Thinking at least it's not another backpack.

But wait, it is for carrying something only on the other side of your body.

Is this what William Wallace wore?

Bought these last time around...definitely a Love/Hate situation. LOVE Woot, HATE these "Bras".

My comments from the last sale: Yeah...hope other Women don't fall for these next time around they really aren't good for much!

I am average/small in the chest area 5'9" 165lbs and I've tried on all 3 colors in the large size, so far I have found:
1. ZERO support
2. ZERO "coverage" (very transparent)
3. The lower band rolls up as soon as you move.
4. You'll jiggle as soon as you turn around, forget walking or running.
5. And there is something about the elasticity in these "bras" that is horribly unflattering! They mash you down. I burst out laughing as soon as I looked in the mirror.
6. Tried wearing one for a short time under a T-shirt and found myself damp with perspiration in about ten minutes. (These are NOT for hot weather!) May as well wrap myself in plastic wrap.

Considering passing them on to my Daughter who just had a baby...they MIGHT do as an overnight garment for her nursing pads, but I doubt it.

Tried giving them to the Daughter...when she stopped laughing she gave them back.

As others have mentioned, if you look closely at the pictures you will notice the models are wearing TWO of these "bras"...that should give you an idea of how thin they are. Pantyhose is a good description!

Caveat Emptor!

I was wondering how these compare to the Genie bra. I have those and like them for casual wear (I don't do sports unless juggling counts). From the other comments, these won't fit me. In the Genie Bras I wear a XXL comfortably with the XL as a tight fit.

I have last weight and just started another diet, so I am not certain of my real bra size--my old size was 38DD. I think I am between sizes right now on everything. :-(

Hmmm. . . Maybe I should get a set of these and if they are too thin, or whatever, keep them in my BOB. In case of the Zombie apocalypse I might not be so picky. :-) After all, can't have the girls in danger while running from zombies. :-)
