Tips from Moving Comfort for buying a sports bra for cycling.

I found the Moving Comfort Juno and it is just fabulous! Not only do I get the support I want, but I like the way it looks and it is a breeze to nurse with. I’ll highlight my favorite things about it

Great support. It is more encapsulating than compression, but kind of does both. Has a nice wide band on the bottom which is important, and the straps don’t have elastic, another important feature. Bounce comes from too loose a band and flexible straps and I do not like bounce. The straps on the juno also adjust really easily, and from the front – even easier!

Comfortable. It’s kind of a pain to get off when I’m done wearing it, but not horrible, and it’s easier to get on. Although it is a racerback style bra, it has 3 rows of hooks in the back to tighten the band down just a little more. The straps are a great width and slightly padded and I have noticed no discomfort with them at all! Actually I have noticed no rubbing anywhere from this bra, very important. The bra will dry well when I use it in tri’s and breathes well otherwise.

Cute. Yep, here’s my vanity again. I have a few sports bras that buckle in the back like a regular bra and they are definitely easier to put on, but I don’t always love where the strap hits my shoulder blade and they don’t always fit well under shirts, especially tank tops, and don’t look as cute alone. I don’t go sports bra only very often, but on the occasions that I do I prefer a racer back look. Anyway, love the look of the back of this bra, and it looks great and is flattering from the front too. The formed cups are gentle but flattering and not padded, just formed. Fun colors too!
