Besides the happy distance and epic fan discovery, another thing I loved about tonight's run was that I was wearing my new Handful Bra! Have you heard about this bra yet? I've only had it a week and I am already in love. I'm so excited to have the opportunity to review this bra AND share it with one of you! So I don't know about you, but I'm not exactly well-off in the...ahem...chest area. And let me tell you, my drawer full of compression-style sports bras does nothing to help this situation. For girls like me, sports bras really just mean one thing: flattenning. It's really just no good. I mean, they do the job, but there are times I pass the mirror at the gym and feel like I look about 12 years old. (Not that my pink shorts and headbands do anything to help the situation...) I know working out is not about looking cute, but let's be real here. It helps.
The Handful Bra is completely different than any sports bra I've ever worn. First, it's completely adorable. I LOVE the v-front and the criss-cross straps in back. It doesn't make me feel flatter than a board, but it doesn't feel like I'm wearing some high-impact sports bra clearly designed for someone with a lot more going on in that area than me! The trick is that it has removable pads that are not only comfortable and supportive, but they add the perfect amount of shape.
This is totally me...ummm...or not...(source: handful.com)
I wore my Handful bra this week for yoga and running. It felt great on my run tonight--comfortable, supportive, and the straps stayed put. I even wore it all day Sunday while running errands and babysitting. You definitely wouldn't catch me in a regular sports bra outside of workout clothes, but I felt like I could wear this bra anytime! I am already thinking about which color I want next...
Oh, and did I mention how fabulously personable this company is? They replied to my emails about sizing questions almost INSTANTLY, and when I was debating between sizes, they even sent me an email of all of the stores in my area that carry Handful Bras and their addresses so I could go try one on! Now that's customer service. The bra also comes in this cute little mesh bag for washing. Love. |

ReplyDeleteI love my arms! Abs. Legs. Okay, just teasing, I know you said one. But really, I love the body that I've been given and I feel comfortable in my skin. If I had to choose one it would be my legs.

ReplyDeleteI have teeny-tiny boobies, and I like them that way. When I was pregnant and nursing, I had huge tatas (D cup), and I hated them. They were gross and got in the way all the time. I'll take my barely As, thank you.
ReplyDeleteI like the pink, I think.

ReplyDeleteThe thing I like best about my body is my arms. I love the definition I have without even trying! They make me feel strong!
ReplyDeleteI don't like becoming a fan of anything on facebook... well, except for dead composers, really. So I can't actually win the bra. BUT I will say that I love the pink one, as well as the brown (cocoa? mocha? i forget what they called it).
ReplyDeleteOh, and I love my feet. They're inconvenient, but I can buy kids' rainboots for $7, and they're so tiny that they make me feel special. I like my hands in the summer for the same reason.
I follow you! I love how you said "That picture is me.. NOT!"
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of Handful on facebook!
ReplyDeleteI would get a black Handful bra, since I've been wearing the one I have since high school, and I think it's starting to dry-rot.
