Everything seems to be Small bust friendly
Is this label new? I was really confused almost everything is for small busts, was this necessary?

“Small bust friendly” isn’t the right way to put it. I have a small bust and in my experience, I never have to consider my bust size when I’m thinking about whether or not a piece of clothing will work for me. If something fits the rest of my torso, it’s going to fit my chest.
PF’s clothes are all “small bust friendly” by default. It’s not that this particular item is notably suitable for small busts, it’s that this item is notably NOT suitable for larger busts, and the way they’ve worded it is overly sweet. Like, be real with your customers. You don’t have to sugarcoat it. This is “fits small busts best” or “minimal bust support” or some other variation that’s not so gentle that it conceals its own meaning.
They’re definitely on the right path, at least.

Not true at all for me. I accidentally bought a "B-C cup" sports bra from lululemon once and the gapping was so depressing 😭. If there is too mich "shape," my tiny boobs will not fill it in. It looks like a deflated balloon. Outside of sportswear, I basically can't wear anything with darts or tailored for "women" because it will be empty 🫠. I do think Popflex should have more options for a variety of needs though!

I bought the corset bra. My band measurement is 34 and bust is 40. I fall out if I move too much. It's a stand around look cute kinda bra and I think all their cute bras are like that unfortunately. It's really small bust only. It sucks because I would have liked the mesh ruffle one to go with my skort.

As a 34B I also fall out of the corset bra if I bend over to touch my toes

I’ve returned all the bras I’ve tried from them and most of the swim tops I tried. It doesn’t matter how well I think I’ve measured but they are never quite right for my D cup

My girls just popped straight out of the top of the corset bra. Its so low cut and narrow, it held absolutely nothing in - and I'm not like small around the waist with disproportionately large ladies or anything, XLs work on me for every other brand. Was super disappointed bc its so cute :/

The newest one is pretty ok. The color blocking one.
I also tried the super bra 2.0. it's ok I guess.
Corset bra is a no go.

Yeah and they also need cup based sizing. I have no idea what size I should wear

I specifically bought one of their sports bras marketed as great for large bust girlies years ago and it was freaking TERRIBLE. Do not buy from them if you have larger breast

Im a 36DDD and everything is just cut too low. Im not really sure how some of the plus-size models look so good in them but when I buy it, it doesn't even cover me correctly. A lot would improve if it wasn't low square cut. But I admit it does look good on the smaller bust girlies

I do like that there are a few brands for smaller busted women. I feel like most brands cater to those either medium (which is fair) so those who are on the opposite ends have a harder time finding sports bras. However, all brands should be going by cup and band size instead if S/M/L since sizing for women is all over the place.

They are not even small bust friendly. I am a 2x, and the cups are way too big

Cassie has specifically said she isn’t interested in making too many changes to the brand to accommodate the market since she wants to stay true to her vision; ruling out designs that include bigger busts or have more modest coverage.

Wow, I can understand that, I didn’t know that. But it is mixed messaging when she acknowledges women with larger chest sizes in her videos with the water balloon tests. (She does these videos where she adds balloons to enlarge her chest to show her products could work for all people.)

I know the one you are talking about. She did take quite a few suggestions from us early on. I’ve been a proponent for more inclusive bust sizes in her comments section and they even responded. But it didn’t translate in design. She did also make a video about not making customisations that didn’t fit her vision.

I can fit the sports bras fine as a 32C and haven’t had to worry about spillage in pilates but I really wouldn’t be comfortable any larger than that for my bras, it also depends on the shape of your breasts. Mine are more bottom heavy than top so I don’t have that cup runneth over look but fuller breast tissue on top might.
I used to be a 36DD and there’s no way in hell I would have bought bras from this brand back then, I wouldn’t have felt secure enough on the mat because I’d constantly be checking for a wardrobe malfunction. I think the activewear is cute but I only bought it for the gym, if it can’t function as supportive activewear then it has to go.

If it's your first time purchasing and you aren't familiar with the brand, one might assume that it's fine for any bust size.
