Zensah Sports Bra Review & Giveaway

Everything looks better when you're tiny...
I'm always in search of the perfect sports bra. I want comfort, support and the perfect fit. Not too much to ask, right? It's been more difficult than you think - especially as my body changes during weight loss. Oddly enough, I always seem to lose inches in my chest first?! I have a drawer full of different brands and sizes, none of them perfect yet.

So when Zensah asked to review their sports bra, I gladly accepted since it was a new brand for my girls to try.  Here's what Zensah promises in their Running Sports Bra...



  • No Chafing - Every Zensah Sports Bra is made with a seamless design to ensure optimal comfort and prevent any chafing.
  • Anti-Bacterial
  • Superior Comfort - Zensah uses it proprietary Zensah fabric in each Zensah Sports Bra it creates for an unmatched comfort.
  • Thermal Regulating & Moisture Wicking

    • I received the Zensah sports bra in pink.  How convenient since I've been complaining that we need more sports bra options in pink.  In fact, there are TEN colors to choose from in this sports bra.  I wore the bra twice for running and several times for Spinning and strength conditioning.  Here are my opinions on how it worked for me...

    COMFORT & FIT: The special Zensah fabric lives up to its reputation.  It's extremely soft against the skin and comfortable to wear. During my workouts, I wasn't tugging and repositioning - not a once. The bra is seamless all the way around so there are no seams itching on your skin. The sports bra fit nicely around my chest with the perfect amount of fabric to cover up skin rolls rather than squeeze them out the sides (yeah, you know what I'm talking about!). The racerback fit is my favorite too.

    SUPPORT: This bra is advertised as high support for A-B-C cups. I'm a C cup and found it lacking the necessary support while running. The girls were bouncing around more than I prefer. I tend to gravitate towards a bra that has a bit more structure (cup) around each breast. However, for lower impact activities like Spinning class or weight training, the Zensah sports bra worked out well, and I will continue to use it for those events.

    PERFORMANCE: It's summer and there is no denying that I sweat hard while I workout. My sports bras are always soaked and I need to remove them as soon as I'm done. The Zensah fabric wicked the moisture well away from the skin and I didn't experience any chaffing or sweat rashes.

    FINAL GRADE:  I give it a B+.  Great comfort and easy to slip in and out of, but needs a bit more support under the cups to support larger breasts. If you're an A or B cup though, I think the Zensah sports bra would be perfect as the fit really is exceptional.

    Zensah provided this sports bra to me free of charge, but the opinions expressed are completely Jess.

      Neon pink sports bra. My current one is a brand that's sopping wet and chafes like mad. Hate it! I also prefer the sports bras that are more like regular bras with two separate cups.

      I went to Zensah's website, and looked around. I didn't see anything that would fit me. Everything's too small. If I happen to win the sports bra, I'll get it in my daughter's size and give it to her. Oh, and I don't tweet, so I didn't do any of the twitter stuff.

      That looks extremely comfortable and a joy to run with! If your considering other great products for exercising with, try knee compression sleeves and you will not regret wearing them.
