I have a large chest (38GG) and have a very difficult time finding sports bras in my size at all, never mind ones that actually fit well. My biggest problem is I am short waisted and have a bit of a short sternum, which in turn means the underwire on most full figured bras dig into my armpits and the front of the bra sticks out of my shirts (typically necklines ride lower on me due to the short waist)
I have owned regular Freya bras in the past and they have always fit me quite well. This sports bra did not disappoint. In true Freya style it fit well, no underwires digging into my armpits, the straps are adjustable enough that they don't gap or slip off my shoulder, and overall the bra was quite comfortable. It seems to provide a good deal of support- I haven't tried running with it yet but in my quick test at home (a few jumping jacks) the "girls" stayed in place quite well, and did not feel compressed. By far it is not the most attractive bra out there, but it gets the job done and is comfortable at the same time! I will be purchasing more for sure.

32GG- Freya Active Core Underwire Sports Bra has cone-ish boob
So, I am a 32GG🇬🇧 (technically 33 band) and hearing about the "up 1 band, up 1 cup" rule about sports bras, I decided to order a 32H (I ordered the same band due to 34"s in the past being too big + anticipating future waitloss). The band was /suffocatingly/ tight with insane quadboobing. I decided to keep 32H for a big return in the end. Next, I tried 34HH. The band fit fine but the gore wasn't flat. I actually had very little bounce when I jumped in it! Just by looking, I knew I needed to go one cup down.The similarity between both were cone-ish shaped boobs. So although I knew my 'true' size for this bra, I avoided it.Now I've decided eff it, idc how I look and ordered the 34H. And *drum roll please*🥁 ....the gore is still not flat. And /still/ pokes straight up, giving the t-shirt a weird shape. I tried moving my boobs to the very bottom of the *very roomy* cups, and the gore still didn't stay flat. This was all on the loosest hook. On the 2nd row, the gore was slightly lower. But wearing it...oh my goodness. THIS BRA IS A TORTURE DEVICE!!!!! The 34H was the first time I'd worn this bra out and about. At first, you'll notice a little pain....then go to the bathroom and reposition them inside. Alright, maybe that was just my fault, you'll think. And then... EVERYTHING starts to attack you. The band, the side wire, the cups, the shoulder straps, EVERYTHING HURT. AND I ONLY WORE THIS FOR LESS THAN 5 HOURS. Moving the strap front to back, back to front, just to be released from 10% of the pain is what I was doing all day. Surreptitiously shifting the band out of its ridge on my back was another survival tactic. DO NOT GET THIS BRA!!!!! YOU WILL REGRET IT!!! The pain this bra caused me is unlike any other bra I've tried before. Maybe it was meant for women with entirely different anatomy, which I can understand. But it absolutely 💯 did NOT work for me. I can't understand how a bra with such roomy cups has a gore that still won't stay flat. Terrible design flaw.It was a great minimizer tho. This bra (its CUP WIDTH ALONE) would be fantastic for very wide rooted breasts. Pic here shows the approx. location of the outer side of my boobs. (And I'm a wide root who struggles with horizontal accommodation too!) That's one thing they got right.I'm not sure I even want to try exchanging again. Who knows if the 32GG will have the exact same problems. I'm lowkey traumatized by this bra. I won't be ordering from this style of Freya ever again.BTW, this bra is called "Freya Women's Full_Coverage" on Amazon, but there is a green khaki version of it, not listed here, which is called "Freya Women's Core Underwire Sports Bra". Idk why, just want to let any potential buyers know so they can avoid that one too.
