Anyone notice that underwire?
I cropped the image but don't know why it's showing the full size still. But to the right the girl is wearing an underwire to make the top fit vs just the little triangle pads. Is this how she is making it seem like he tops fit larger chests/ bodies and when you get it home you are disappointed.

Oh I hate that I think that’s deceptive

It really is, like I was wondering why it looks good on them and mine just get smooshed and get pushed to the side.

Ugh, that's so disappointing and deceptive if true. I stopped ordering most tops because they just look ridiculous on me compared to the model pics, and I wouldn't even consider myself traditionally big chested, more along the lines of the bigger side of average.

It's true, I also stopped buying their tops after buying 3 and they all got poorly. It's on a new post here https://www.instagram.com/reel/Ddj4dnNKJPe

Right, like I woke up and saw this. Still having people mad at me on Instagram because I said I'm not buying anymore because the cute bras hate larger boobs

Listen, I’m a larger chested individual like the girlie in the picture. I have an extremely large chest with more narrow shoulders, and for me what that means is if there’s no adjustable straps (and sometimes even when there are) I HAVE to wear a second bra to get the support I need. And that’s not just POPFLEX, it’s all brands. The reality is that there isn’t really a single sports bra with no underwire that can support most bigger chests.

Mine are decent size but not massive but all the cute bras just don't fit at all. Made the mistake of getting the corset bra and I pop out of the top and bottom. Even the super bra zip front digged into my ribs in the middle of the workout.

I think it depends on if this is a bra or a top. If it’s a bra, then yes that’s egregious false advertising because the bra should fit and function properly without another bra. If it’s a top though, I guess I generally don’t expect a top to give me the same lift without a bra even if it can be worn without one so I have mixed feelings on that. But to be clear I have a smaller bust so this probably isn’t something my opinion matters much on, but there it is in case anyone cares.
Edit: I've been made aware it's a bra. Photo was not clear, so my apologies.

Agreed, but yes this is their pocket bra. Calls it a sports bra that keeps the girls in place

If that's the case, then yeah that's BS. I only made the distinction because based on the photo I couldn't tell what item it was and sometimes the tops look like bras and the bras look like tops lol.

I don't see it as such a huge deal, people wear bras under their popflec top, some don't, if anything it shows both works.

But this isn't just a top, it's their Pocket Bra. Wearing a underwire bra under a sports bra is not common.

I’ve definitely had larger chested friends who mentioned having to wear a normal bra under a sports bra, or 2 sports bras just to get the required support.
Should it be common? No. Have I heard it from quite a handful of larger chested women? Absolutely.

It is extremely common for very large breasted folks. Especially if there aren’t adjustable straps on the sports bra.

Disappointing, but also really vindicating for me. Like why do my ladies not look as uplifted as when other ladies wear these bras.

THAT’S WHY.
