About this deal

A: The Solidarity Sports Bra is engineered for High-Impact Sports such as Running. However it can be used for all activity where support is required. We advise wearing our Medium-Impact Empower Sports Bra where support is of a medium level is required. The bra combines compression and encapsulation in a sports bra for activities described as high impact, such as running, team sports and circuit training.

It certainly does what it promises, nothing moves and yet it doesn’t pinch and breathing is still possible. This is excellent news. Conclusion: Izzie has been impressed by the Maaree Solidarity High-Impact Sports Bra. There are many sizes to choose from and women can benefit from an on-line fitting consultation. The bra keeps breasts in place while taking part in high-impact sports and Izzie was pleased to report there was no chafing issues. The price is quite high but comfort is important when choosing an item that will be worn frequently. A sports bra should be well-fitting and supportive. The Maaree Solidarity sports bra is unlike any other sports bra I've ever worn. The key difference is the rather rigid material. This feels compressive on, and certainly offers the support it promises. Initially, it didn't quite mould to my skin in the same way a more flexible fabric might. However, this has improved with washes. Not only that, it stays a lot drier. I’m 51 and could certainly do with losing a stone or so. However, despite sportswear manufacturers’ best efforts, I don’t let this put me off going running, walking and doing various other sports.Maaree's "Last Chance to Buy" section offers heavily discounted items that are about to sell out.

However, according to experts at the Research Group in Breast Health, based at the University of Portsmouth, riders wearing a D+ cup are best served by an encapsulation or combination style sports bra, as opposed to a less supportive compression style often used by cycling specific brands. This bra starts from a 30C so it is designed for those with more breast tissue. There is a Medium Impact version for those who don’t want something quite so heavy duty. My new Solidarity High Impact Sports Bra in Forest Green arrived promptly. Mari had suggested that it might feel a little stiff when it first arrived, so I should just give it a little stretch to soften the material, and then because it is a smaller band size than I’m used to, I might find it easier to fasten at the front, then twist around. Immediately I could feel how supportive the bra would be. The Overband adjusts under the arms, in the same way the straps adjust, and I could feel the difference as I tightened or loosened it. MAAREE also try to educate women about the importance of wearing the correct bra size and offer online fittings. Did you know 80% of women are wearing the wrong size sports bra? I attended an online fitting with Mari via Zoom. She made me feel really comfortable, and talked me through measuring my band size first of all, then measuring around my bust to enable me to work out what my cup size would be. Mari asked what size I normally wear, and suggested I should drop a band size based on my measurements, and increase by 2 cup sizes. She explained that often, a lot of chafing occurs because there is friction between the strap and the skin, if, for example, the bra is the wrong size, so a better fitting bra should prevent this. There was no bounce when running and I was pleased that the bra didn’t restrict my breathing despite being so well fitted. I have felt my breathing restricted before when running uphill in other sports bras – for example, a very expensive Enell Sports Bra – but not with the Maaree bra.

The result was a Solidarity High-Impact Sports Bra that fits perfectly for my slightly unusual bra size of 30E. The MAAREE brand was set up by Mari Thomas, who has competed at national level in sport and after her career turned to sports bra performance testing under lab conditions, she found that her ultimate support didn’t exist, so decided to come up with a solution.

The founding of Maaree

The Solidarity sports bra is aimed at larger chested women who are looking for support for high-impact exercise. The bra features a world-first adjustable Overband ® for a tailored fit and support. I asked Ellen to try a 36F Maaree Solidarity Sports bra for size, comfort and bounce control. Measure around the underband, directly under your bust. The measuring tape should be level, measure in inches and be very snug.

I had concerns that the monoboob squished things together, which can be sweaty and uncomfortable. It was OK, but, as it’s October and I live in Scotland, I can’t comment on how it feels when the temperature rises.The fabric of the bra feels beautifully soft next to the skin, and I like the breathable mesh fabric between the breasts too.
