RunningRan 6 miles. Nothing moved.
I’m a 36G and I used to run with my arm across my chest. First run in Liftessa I forgot I had boobs. I bought a second one in black the same night.

The Sculpt System
Flat in front. Lifted behind.
Most bike shorts just cover you. Liftessa is knit to shape you: firm where you want hold, lifted where you want curves.
- 1
Flattens the tummy
A 5-inch sculpting waistband sits above the navel and smooths everything flat, with no roll and no digging in.
- 2
Lifts the rear
Contour seams curve under the glutes to lift and round them, so your shape shows the way it should.
- 3
Firms the legs
Compressive 4-way stretch knit hugs the thighs and smooths them, without ever feeling tight.
- 4
Sculpts your silhouette
Waist in, curves out, from the waistband to the hem. You see the difference in the mirror.

Tennis & padelFull swing, zero bounce.
My old bra made me shorten my forehand without noticing. Now I swing all the way through. The straps don’t slide off mid-match either.

EverydayNo more wrestling it on.
My shoulder doesn’t let me reach behind my back anymore. The front zip changed my mornings. I zip it, tug the band, done.

HIITBurpees without the hold-down.
I did a full HIIT class and never once held my chest. I tightened the back band between sets, which takes two seconds.

After babyEasy on, easy off.
After my daughter, nothing fit. I went from a D to a DD and back. Being able to adjust the straps and band every week is everything.

HikingFinally a G cup that fits.
Backpack straps used to dig my bra straps into my shoulders. The wide straps and the X back spread the weight. Eight miles, no marks.

RunningBetter than my pricey bra.
I owned the famous one. Liftessa holds the same, the zip feels sturdier and I love the colors. Lavender is next.

EverydayI stand taller in it.
Something about the X back pulls my shoulders where they should be. My husband asked if I’d been doing yoga.

RunningThe zip doesn’t budge.
I was scared it would pop open on a long run. It sits under a flap and the band takes the pull. Two months, zero issues.

Questions
Everything you need to know
Will the zip pop open?
No. The zip sits under a soft fabric flap and the wide under-band carries the load, so the zip never holds your weight on its own. It stays closed on runs, jumps and serves.
I’m between two sizes. Which one?
Take the larger one. You can tighten the straps and the back band, but nothing can add fabric. If it’s not right, your first exchange is free.
Does it work for a big bust?
Yes. Liftessa goes from XS to 6XL and A to I cups. The 4 adjustment points are exactly why it holds a G cup as well as a B cup.
Is it too tight to breathe?
No. The hold comes from the band under your bust, not from squeezing your ribs. Set it snug, then loosen the back band one notch on easy days.
Can I wear it all day?
Yes. There is no underwire and the band is soft-brushed. Many of our customers wear it from the morning walk to the evening class.
How do I wash it?
Close the zip, machine wash cold in a mesh bag, hang dry. The hold stays the same wash after wash.
How does shipping work?
Every order ships with tracking. Shipping is free on 2 items or more, 5.90 for a single item. You get your tracking number by email the day it leaves.
What if it’s not for me?
You have 30 days. Run in it, wash it, and if you don’t love it, send it back for a refund.
