(It’s hard to tell but the VentipadTM is only in on the right side)
I receive many, many pitches on a daily basis.
Some great (where I can tell they’ve at least visited my blog & are pitching a product I’d be interested in).
Some not so (the best as of late complemented me on my amazing recipe posts).
Since Ive scaled way back on the number of review posts I do (getting back to my own chickenbus & all) it really is just catching me at the right moment to have me respond with a yes.
For some reason I looked at the Breeze Comfort sports bras and it was the right moment.
Something about how pretty & feminine they looked in comparison to my utilitarian running bras made this misfit curious.
And, as always, my curiosity is your chance to win.
What was my first reaction to the Breeze Comfort push up sports bra?
- Anticipation. I completely deferred to the brand to select the bra they sent me. I believe SURPRISE ME were the exact words I used.
- Surprise. I was really, well, surprised to find padding in the bra and excited to see that the pads were removable. I did immediately yank out the pads from their confinement, but also read a bit more about them and the ventipad technology. The pads are perforated & breathable. While I did not wear them to exercise if the pads work half as well as described on site no matter how much you perspire your tatas should remain dry and comfy (no, that is not a sentence I ever imagined Id type).
What did I love about the Breeze Comfort bra:
- I loved the look, the feel, the cut and the feminine mesh insets.
(if youre checking in through a reader theres a 30 second video review below)
What did I not love about the Breeze Comfort sports bra?
- It was a little sheer. Im sure it was constructed (the style is called the push up) not to be worn without the ventipads & theres a reason you didnt get to see me wearing it. That said, I still want the black. I dont think the sheerness would be a factor in a darker color. And, since Im not one to wear only a sports bra the sheerness didnt matter much.
- I couldnt run in it. To clarify, given the description where it states the bra is perfect for yoga & pilates I didnt anticipate being able to. Yoga, weight training, spinning, group exercise classes, climbing—really anything BUT running would be fine. And, if you arent as painfully aware of the effects of gravity’s pull as I am, you may disagree with me & feel supported enough to run.
Bottom line: Overall I really liked the sports bra.
It made me feel far more feminine than my other sports bras and for some reason I was drawn to that. I may even try it with the pads in place next time if I’m feeling misfit-sassy!
I also dont mind Im limited to wearing it during low impact activities as I have other more boring utilitarian sports bras for when I need to keep the tatas firmly in place.
Now you.

Tina says
August 5, 2011 at 3:22 amTHREE CHEERS FOR CANADA 🙂
I’d love to win the pink!
Helen says
August 5, 2011 at 3:32 amI would go sexy in the black 🙂
Thanks for showing the bra, too, in the video.
Nan says
August 5, 2011 at 3:44 amSo excited for the giveaway since I can win (what’s blogher?).
I would wear the pink to yoga!
Laurie says
August 5, 2011 at 3:56 amI like the yellow you held up in the video.
And I’d like the biceps too, please.
Size large 🙂
Patricia says
August 5, 2011 at 4:35 amI like the breath ability, my tata’s are always sweaty by the end of my workout!
Coco says
August 5, 2011 at 4:43 amInteresting! I actually have two drawers of exercise clothes–one for running stuff and one for low-impact/yoga/weights stuff. Since I usually buy bras for the running drawer and then bump them down to the next one as they wear out, it would be great have something new for my other drawer.
Yvonne says
August 5, 2011 at 4:45 amI would like the yellow one you wave around and about in the video 🙂
I also would use those push up pads and blog about it for you!
Dalia says
August 5, 2011 at 4:52 amYay for the ability to win!!
I do wish you had shown us the bra on you, but understand that might have made the video NSW.
Was it that sheer?
Miz says
August 5, 2011 at 4:53 amGOOD QUESTION Dalia.
The bra wasnt too sheer to wear in the video (is NSW not sufficient for work?!) I just thought it might be more helpful to show off me rather than on…
Valerie says
August 5, 2011 at 5:21 amI think I want it for all those reasons…and because it’s so pretty. I don’t run, so that wouldn’t be a problem for me, but I do love the idea of the absorbent pads. Mostly, though, because it’s pretty. 🙂
Runner Girl says
August 5, 2011 at 5:21 amI would use the pink for when I’m not running 🙂
Jeni says
August 5, 2011 at 5:22 amI would love one of the black ones as I wear a normal bra now for fitness classes and don’t own any fitness ones. I’ve been losing weight and they don’t make fitness bras in the sizes I’ve been wearing. (fyi, the video appears in the RSS feed – I didn’t have to go to the website to view it)
Miz says
August 5, 2011 at 5:26 amHUH! Some people have said it didnt/doesn’t show in a google reader? I’m Luddite McGee. Thank you!
Runner Girl says
August 5, 2011 at 5:22 amI do think N.S.W. is not sufficient for work, Miz.
jen (@jeninRL) says
August 5, 2011 at 5:34 amit is so pretty!!
sports bras are usually so functional but not pretty. this bar is pretty and will work with larger tatas.
Tess says
August 5, 2011 at 5:49 amLurve It!! It is something I would love to add to my unfashionable stuff. I would wear this when I was actually going to see people when I work out 🙂
Healthy Mom says
August 5, 2011 at 5:59 amBLUE.
I love delicate and functional.
Jody says
August 5, 2011 at 6:19 amI’d love to win one! I actually prefer padding in my sports bras since the gym I workout in is completely freezing pretty much year around and I’ve noticed that the harder I work out I seem to need extra coverage in that general area.
Stephanie says
August 5, 2011 at 6:23 amMesh, enough said. It is 107 in Texas.
Wanda says
August 5, 2011 at 6:24 amI need the padding Miz!!!!
Shelley B says
August 5, 2011 at 6:25 amIn the past, I would had immediately dismissed that bra and not being “enough” for me and my ample girls, but I’ve discovered, you just need a little somethin’ somethin’ when it comes to yoga, and they do make it in my size, so I’d love to have one (especially since bras are a “sweat through once and wash” deal during hot yoga!).
Tom says
August 5, 2011 at 6:31 amObviously I won’t need the bra. Is it sad as a man I’d take the biceps?
sugar says
August 5, 2011 at 7:08 amI would love to try a new sports bra. I am having a hard time finding ones I like. I do so much love the padding! any extra help I can get I will take!
Mesh would be a great turn on too.. makes one feel a lil more nekked! I love it!
Rachel says
August 5, 2011 at 7:09 amUm, better boob ventilation? Yes, please. Sign me up!
fd says
August 5, 2011 at 7:16 amI’d love it because I desperately need a bigger better stock of sports bras and haven’t got loads of cash to spend at the moment. BONUS: they’re cute.
Rita says
August 5, 2011 at 7:21 amI love the yellow you held up!!
Katie says
August 5, 2011 at 7:58 amIt is so humid here, and my gym isnt’ air conditioned, so the meshness would be a comfort, not a problem.
Ashley says
August 5, 2011 at 8:01 amThat yellow is awesome. I wear sports bra 24/7 and would definitely like to try this one for the fact that you said it made you feel more feminine. And the breath ability is something I have been looking for work. My cleavage is always dripping!
Erin says
August 5, 2011 at 8:34 amI’d go with yellow. It’s very cute!
Joyce Cherrier says
August 5, 2011 at 8:35 amI love the look and style! Since I’m not an avid runner, perfect! “perspire your tata’s” made me snicker (yes, I’m 5 😉
Lara says
August 5, 2011 at 8:36 amDefinitely the black you mentioned in the video.
Bethlin says
August 5, 2011 at 8:37 amAs a small-on-top girl the idea of a sports bra with padding sounds intriguing. I’d love to give it a whirl!
Dayna says
August 5, 2011 at 8:38 amBig Steelers fans here!
I’d like the gold 🙂 to wear with black shorts!
Cammy@TippyToeDiet says
August 5, 2011 at 8:40 amAt this point, I’m all in favor of anything with the word “breeze” in the description. 🙂
Not sad I’m not at BlogHer. Am *very* sad I’m not in San Diego.
Miz says
August 5, 2011 at 9:36 amIm not there either.
and I go back and forth with the sads.
It’s so so so BIG!!
Shall we meet again at blissdom? That’s medium big at least 🙂
Roz says
August 5, 2011 at 9:06 amLove that this would be perfect for yoga because that is my exercise of choice these days. All the best at BlogHer.
Alison @ Ingredients INc. says
August 5, 2011 at 9:08 amomg great look bra. So glad I found your awesome site today via twitter!
the delicate place says
August 5, 2011 at 9:10 ami would love to try this as i am a huge sweater but have small ta-tas. i still need the support but breathability is key for me especially in kickboxing!
JavaChick says
August 5, 2011 at 9:24 amI doubt that I would wear with the padding (I don’t need to add anything, thank you very much) but I do like how pretty they are and would love to try one out!
Lori says
August 5, 2011 at 9:29 amI think it would be nice for biking because I don’t need my uber bra when I bike, but it is my only sports bra that doesn’t show through my shirts (my other one is black – why I purchased that I have no idea).
Greta says
August 5, 2011 at 9:30 amI have small ta tas as you say 🙂 and would love the chance to try the padding and see how they LIFT!!
Desiree says
August 5, 2011 at 9:54 amYay sports bras!!
Jody - Fit at 53 says
August 5, 2011 at 10:13 amPretty! I would wear it for weights of course BUT I might just wear it out & about with those pads to give me some boobs! 😉 It is pretty! Like you, I would do the black one too!
Nettie says
August 5, 2011 at 10:32 amSexy black please 🙂
Izzy says
August 5, 2011 at 12:00 pmI love the yellow. PADS IN! LOL
DareToBecome says
August 5, 2011 at 12:04 pmThat is one sexy looking sports bra! Please enter me.
Cassy says
August 5, 2011 at 12:51 pmI would wear the black, it would look especially sassy with my hot pink hair!
Ashley H. says
August 5, 2011 at 1:44 pmI’d love the breathable mesh.
Nikki says
August 5, 2011 at 2:09 pmI’d love just getting to try a different sports bras. I don’t have any fancy ones at all. Actually 2 are ones I’ve had for years and are a bit too big. I JUST was given a new Nike one for my b-day, so I suppose it’s time to enjoy trying out some new ones. That’s why I’d love this. 🙂
Kimberley says
August 5, 2011 at 2:19 pmI finally get my chance…but there is no way tatas of my enormity would ever fit in anything so dainty.
Olivia says
August 5, 2011 at 2:31 pmYAY!!
I can win and I’d adore the pink with PADS 🙂
Maria (RealFitMama) says
August 5, 2011 at 3:17 pmOh Miz… I dream about wearing a grown up sports bra that fits me, isn’t bulky and breathes! My ta-tas barely fill up an A cup bra (let’s be honest…I wear XL bras from my 10 year old daughter’s department because I can get them 2 for $7.99) and finding sports bras that fit comfortably is almost impossible – plus who wants to pay $40+ for ONE sports bra???
Kim says
August 5, 2011 at 4:12 pmI would also like a pretty one. I only have heavy duty ones for running, so something that I can use at my kettlebell class would be wonderful. I also really like the yellow.
Jena says
August 5, 2011 at 4:15 pmI like it and I would use those pads.
I need those pads!!
jessica mcmichael says
August 5, 2011 at 4:25 pmI used to sell sports bras back in the days when sports bras were really getting their start. It is always amazing to me how much time, effort and technology goes into covering our breasts!!!, I’m pretty sure jock straps have remained relatively the same for at least 50+ years……just sayin’…
Janice - The Fitness Cheerleader says
August 5, 2011 at 6:33 pmA giveaway I CAN enter – yippee! I’d love to try it for cycling – gonna try a 1/2 Ironman distance triathlon next summer.
Taya says
August 5, 2011 at 8:26 pmAwesome! Not only does it seem high quality, but it’s cute, too! I’d love it for the breathability (for some reason, that’s my sweatiest area) as well as it’s push-up-ness…as a small-chested girl, most sports bras give me a very preteen look!
deb says
August 5, 2011 at 8:42 pmBreathable!!! Sounds awesome!!! and I sag!! I need pushup ing.
addy says
August 5, 2011 at 9:50 pmFeminine sports bra – Yay – sign me up. And choose a pretty color too please. I feel a bit male in my current ones.
cindy says
August 5, 2011 at 11:00 pmI would love it for the ventilation. I have to keep cool working out due to MS. If I overheat my body shuts down. No pads are needed.
Tena says
August 6, 2011 at 12:23 amI am sad that I’m not at Blogher! One of these days I want to make it to one of these big blogger meetups!
If I won, I think black would be my choice 🙂
runnin4fun says
August 6, 2011 at 7:56 amI would love it because it is padded-love padded sports bras! I need all the help I can get. I also agree it looks very pretty,”girlie” for a sports bra.
Heather @ Get Healthy With Heather says
August 6, 2011 at 8:02 amI so want a more feminine sports bra! I love how breathable it looks.
Vicki Kron says
August 6, 2011 at 8:13 amHey, I love learning new termanology, I never knew I had tatas. I like the look of that new sports bra, and, since I had my tatas reduced several years ago, I think I’d like those inserts also.
But best of all would be winning those biceps, I working on that right now but it’s slow going.
Irene says
August 6, 2011 at 8:18 amAhhh again the biceps.
I will take those, too.
And the bra in PINK.
Tess W says
August 6, 2011 at 10:31 amOh, those look really nice! I have issues with finding good sports bras…. gravity is not my problem, so I’m very interested in these.
Courtney says
August 6, 2011 at 11:54 amWow, it’s so cute, and that’s not something I normally say when talking about sports bras. I have my sports bras segregated for running and other low-impact workouts, and this would be great for the latter. I love the pink and the yellow! I also love that it does come in larger sizes for *ahem* larger ta-tas.
Official The5FactorDiet Review says
August 6, 2011 at 3:00 pmGood Day I’m Rory. Wonderful blog, I passed this onto a colleague who was doing a little homework on that. And he in fact bought me breakfast because I found it for him!
Hannah says
August 6, 2011 at 3:14 pmBlack!!!
You rock.
Tammy says
August 6, 2011 at 6:18 pmI would wear this to teach my yoga classes!
Tiffany (NatureMom) says
August 6, 2011 at 6:49 pmThat yellow is gorgeous! I only have plain , white, BORING, sports bras.. they are all I wear. A pretty sports bra sounds to good to be true. 😉
Tami says
August 7, 2011 at 5:28 amI like the style and could definitely use another sports bra.
Katie says
August 7, 2011 at 5:49 amYellow and pads IN!!
🙂
lisa says
August 7, 2011 at 9:39 amHey Carla, this looks really awesome. I just went to the website to buy one for Sierra….out of stock! Shoot! Hopefully they’ll come out with a red model next time around (for the Cinci Bearcats)! Thanks for letting me know about this. She’s gonna love the more girly look compared to the regular sports bras.
