Running and Jogging editor didicated an entire review to the: ENELL Sports Bra. Here's just a portion of what she had to say: -
For most women, the sports bra is the most important piece of equipment they buy. However, many women still aren't getting
what they need out of their bra. This becomes especially problematic for women with large breasts. For some women, Enell
sports bras have become the solution.
Bras seem to come in all the wrong sizes, whether you are very big breasted or not. Enell has fixed this problem, by having an
easy-to-use size chart and more sizes than a normal bra. They have bras that fit women from 32C - 50DDD. However, they
also will make custom bras! If there isn't a bra your size, they'll make you one.
Enell bras are the best support I have ever seen in bras. There is little-to-no motion at all, even during running or jumping.
Through use of both compression and encapsulation, Enell bras are as close as you can come to leaving your chest at home.

October, 2004 Real Life; "One simple change can make you happier and healthier." Renelle Braaten's motivation for designing
the Enell Sports Bra and beginning steps she took are outlined in this artical.
Being larger breasted, Renelle designed the ENELL Sports bra out of need. "If only manufacturers made a decent sports bra
for larger breasted women," she thought. Determined, she enlisted the help of her seamstress mom. Together they whipped
up a prototype featuring wide non elastic straps and a full back.
The article goes on to say... "I wanted to help as many women as possible because I know how it feels to find something
comfortable that works." she says. And judging by Enell's success, it's clear she's won lots of loyal fans who know first-hand
that physically fit comes in all sizes.

January, 2004 Well-endowed women no longer lack support: Latest in bra technology ensures exercise where nothing gets out
of place SAINT JOHN NB. - Two Saint John-area sisters are lifting up the spirits of well-endowed women and supporting them in
their exercising endeavors.
Since October, Jane MacGillivray and Mary Ann Gallagher - of Mary Jane's Sportswear in Saint John - have sold the latest in
sports-bra technology to women whose bra sizes range from 32C to 52DD. The Enell bra is endorsed by none other then
Oprah Winfrey.
"So many women are not exercising because they can't find a decent bra, and it deters them," said MacGillivray. "Our objective
is to get those people out, and get those people moving."
Large -breasted women have long had trouble finding something that will keep them in place as they exercise, and many of
them wear two bras to the gym.
"The way we look at it, too, it really is providing a service to people because really, you can't get a decent sports bra anywhere
around," MacGillivray said.
Mary, a woman who preferred that her last name not be used, said the sports bras are wonderful. She bought two Enells for
her sports-minded daughter.
"Its impossible to find a product that held her in place," She said. This holds you in place so that you don't even think about
anything other than what you're doing."
"Some people balk at the price, but I want to stress that it's a piece of equipment, really," MacGillivray said. "It's the same as a
person buying a decent pair of sneakers. You're not going to run in cheap sneakers.'
The Enell sports bra was designed and patented by American Renelle Braaten and her mother.

January/February, 2000 Best-supported Actress To star in the upcoming film Charlie's Angles, Drew Barrymore knew she'd
need more than perfectly feathered hair. Acting out the high-speed scenes would call for real strength and stamina. Drew was
never a fan of working out, so when she came to me two months ago, we started out simply, walking on the treadmill at 3.5
miles per hour. Then we added 3-pound weights to strengthen her upper body. After a couple of weeks, I tried to get her to
jump rope. Her face told me this was the last thing on Earth she wanted to do. Later she admitted that high-impact exercises
hurt her chest. So I gave her an ENELL sports bra, a tight vest with eye-hook fastenings. Drew tried it on and jumped around,
and nothing moved. She was so excited. "This thing's going to change my life", she said. Did it ever. That day she jumped rope
and ran a quarter of a mile. Now she's comfortable exercising – and she's fit to battle crime.

Summer 2000 Model and Pro Beach Volleyball Player Tiffany Anderson "I have been full figured since my early teens. In terms
of body image, I am in a much better place now. My relationship with my body, view of my body and my self esteem are much
better than when I was younger. I used to slouch over because I was so tall, now I stand tall. In high school, I was so self-
conscious because I had very large breasts and back then they had no good bras at all. When I used to jog at practice, there
would always be crowds watching. Instead of swinging my arms at my side, I used to pull my shirt out with my hand and hold it
out because I knew that my breasts were bouncing and I didn't want anyone to notice them. If I'd had a good bra like the
ENELL bra, I would [have] had my head high, my shoulders back and my arms swinging, not thinking about whether people
were looking at me bouncing. It would have completely changed my mind-set, I could have been building myself up and
thinking about how I was going to beat my opponent, not about my bouncing breasts."

August 1997 Although not yet a household name, ENELL fills a giant (so to speak) demand for providing large-chested women
with adequate support. "I love this bra" said one size-D runner. "After 10 miles, I was still not aware that I even had boobs."
Available in four colors, the bra comes with a unique up-the-front hook-and-eye closure system, which makes getting it on and
off as easy as wearing a jacket. The shoulder straps are wide and comfortable, and the satinlike material, while far from
superior at wicking (this has been corrected with our new high tech Naturexx fabric) provides serious motion control while
equally distributing weight. This bra is also ideal for postoperative breast reconstruction patients looking for comfortable
support and compression during recovery.
