The Juno Sports Bra

I'm on a lucky streak lately.  I've won a BIC band from my friend Kim, a Bondi-Band from Running Diva Mom, a CSN card from Forward Foot Strides and, of course, a Garmin from Knoxville Track Club.  Don't hate - before last month I'd never won anything to speak of.  I should totally buy a lottery ticket, right?

Most recently, I won a Juno sports bra from Moving Comfort through a Facebook Giveaway.  I left a comment on their wall, and the next thing I knew there was a note in my inbox from Christine Martin, at Moving Comfort, telling me I had won this bra! Mine is a very pretty shade of blue, but the Juno comes in a variety of colors.


I am not particularly well-endowed.  Veering into TMI territory, I will tell you that I'm a small C cup.  I will also tell you that I absolutely cannot run if the girls are moving.  I can't do it.  I will drive home and get another sports bra or just walk before I'll run with boobage jiggle.  Sometimes I run in two sports bras to stop any motion.  Needless to say, sports bras are a big issue for me. HUGE. Showstopping, even.

Wearing two sports bras leaves horrid, painful chafe marks on my back, even with Body Glide.  I have scars from chafe marks on my back and sides, but I would rather deal with that than jiggling.  I usually settle for a boobensmoosher bra and horrible chafing, because what are you going to do?

Well, I can tell you what I'm going to do - after wearing this one for half an hour, and doing various jumping things all over the house, I am replacing every one of my sports bras with the Juno bra.  I'm not kidding. They are a little expensive, at $52.00 retail, but this one is so comfortable I am going to sleep in it tonight. I may never take it off again.  Wide, comfortable, adjustable straps, people!!  In a sports bra! Last week I would have sworn  that there was no such thing as a comfortable, supportive sports bra.  Moving Comfort proved me wrong.

Christine sent a 36C bra, at my request, because that is the bra size I generally buy.  It's a little big, to be honest.  I'd probably have been better served with a 34B.  The amazing thing, though, is that even with the bra running a little large, the girls are solid.  SOLID.  They don't jiggle.  Happy boobs, indeed! I don't know what sort of support mechanism Moving Comfort has put in the Juno, but it really works. Best of all, you can still see my shape in this bra.  I don't look like a teenage boy.

If you're looking for a comfortable, flattering sports bra with serious support, look no further.  This is it.  I'm a convert.  Thank you so very much, Moving Comfort! I simply won't buy another brand of sports bra from now on. Ever. These girls are Juno girls!

  4. This review is awesome. You made me giggle a bit too! ;) Anyway, from a big boobied girls perspective and someone who is NOW dealing with boob chaffe despite using BodyGlide, I think I am headed in the direction of a $52 bra. Sigh.
    Think it'll work as well for your big boobied running pal????

  6. MM, there is NO jiggle here. None. And the bra has loose spots on me.

    Kim, I think it might just do the trick. I'd love to hear from some more, um, generously endowed folks about how it works for them! :)

  8. The Vixen? Ok - thanks, Lesley! I really wish the running store here would carry these so we could try them!

  9. I have that one in a maroon. I'm SURE I didn't pay that much though - I got it at runningwarehouse (I think) on sale in the low to mid 20s. It is a great bra though.
