My 'problem' is that I am 34A but with broad shoulders and find bras without fastenings very difficult to get over my shoulders (as it did mention in the RW article). I did buy the Falke one from LessBounce but I didn't feel it gave me enough support. The Enell one looks a bit too much, any ideas out there please?.
Thanks,
Jane
ie that's 30 washes running every day
and i know that some people on forum do run every single day and its something i aspire to do when work is under control
enell with a built in hrm compartment would be fab
at the mo i find it very difficult to get a comfy position for that
RW just didnt bother doing the research properly
you WILL get a decent bra
have a read back through this thread and the other bra threads on here
I have had my white Enell for around 9 months I reckon and have washed it pretty much 5 times a week (because I stopped using all my other crap Shock Absorber and Panache bras immediately!) and it has survived fine. Some of the plastic coating is coming off the hooks, but it hasn't gone slack at all. It fits just as snugly and getting my brand new funky purple one the other week just confirmed to me that the white one has held up pretty well.
NOt suitable for more blessed ladies though, I am only a B/c cup these days
Interesting to see that my old standby - the one that has taken me through every stage of running - from one-minute wheezing sessions at 40B to 11-mile proper grown-up run type things at 34D - is the ONLY one with three thumbs up in the catalogue.
It's the Champion Actionshape. I love it. Straps everything down and tells it to just STAY THERE, OK?!?!?
just put the mortgage on an Enell
it had better be as good as you lot claim!!
I guess those figures are too make sure we keep buying new bras?!
not heard of Jj's one but jealous of her dropping inches !!
providing my stomach and thighs, drop inches at same rate!
Also, the instructions say to fasten it from bottom to top, but I just couldn't get the bottom hooks to meet, so developed my own technique of fastening the very top hook first, but to get the two halves of the bra together, then fastening the bottom on, undoing the top on, and fastening from the bottom up.
and a bit hot in the summer...
anyone worn the enell as a bra top with nothing over in the summer?
Yes, it does make my back hot, but it's a price I have to pay.
Plus it makes body fat measuring a right carry-on. My gym instructor can't grab the right bits with the caliper because of my "contraption" as we call it.
hee hee lok - last thing on my mind when running is stuff that's sexy! comfort comes first for me, blow the rest of it. :-)
I wouldn't mind hearing their thoughts on our feedback, given that quite a few of us thought the article wasn't very well researched.
do gripe about not being able to wear a hrm with it though :-(
haven't seen the article, but tis always the same. same thing with horse riding wear as well. they test bras on tiny people too.
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
but enell out of stock :<(
and no projected date :<(((
I have to say that the mag as a whole is looking increasingly like 'Good Housekeeping lite' or the Food mag at Waitrose checkouts. The other night I had a flick through and I would say the March issue is 50% advertising and that doesn't include the race diary etc. And yes I do realise that a lot of the ads come from charities because we're close to FLM.
Perhaps March was just a weak issue but I must say it is a bit cowardly of RW not to post something with regard to this thread!
Is all of what I've written just a moan or do others feel the same way?
PS. It is of course a moan but I think a legitimate one!
Personally, I would stop subscribing to the mag, but I want the extra online content. So, for me, the website is far more useful, and the mag is just a side-effect of my subscription to the website!
And yes, it does seem to be getting a little "tame" if that's the right word to use.
PS. Perhaps RW would like to offer on-line subscription only without the mag! At a much reduced cost of course!?
Come on RW!! lET'S HAVE SOME COMMENT ON THE NAF BRA FEATURE!
