perfect fit, true to size, the pouchy cut in front gives support but room for the bits while the rest of the shorts fit snug and stay put.
Definitely worth every penny. Plus, they look good under all Born Primitive shorts!!
From the impressive online shopping website right through the prompt and early delivery of my order I was thoroughly impressed with Born Primitive completely. The ease of ordering with the extremely user friendly software right through the customer service follow up showed that Born Primitive is a company that cares about their customers and their reputation. The shorts are very comfortable, the sizing chart was very helpful in attaining the proper size. They looked great and not only can they be worn in a casual setting but they were perfect for the gym. They stretched and allowed me to move easily throughout each exercise. I would recommend Born Primitive to anyone.

Every bra serves a different purpose for different activities and we recommend referencing each specific bra product description to determine the best bra for your body and sport. Our bras should generally fit snug. Wearing the bras too loose will not likely provide adequate support.
***Please note, a majority of our sports bras are medium support and medium coverage. If you are looking for the highest impact support that we offer; check out the X-Factor, Intensity or Moxie Sports Bra!
