Alright so yesterday I finally got around to hunting for a new Reebok sports bra online. Figured I’d share how that whole mess went down, ‘cause wow it was something.
Started With What Size Am I Anyway?
First thing I did was stare at my old sports bras. Those tags were washed out, like totally useless. Couldn’t remember if I was a Medium last time or Large. Classic. Dug through the closet like a crazy person trying to find ANY bra with a clear tag. Found one from another brand, but who knows if Reebok sizes match that? Risky.
Reebok’s Site Made Me Want To Scream
Went straight to Reebok’s own site – obvious first move, right? Bad choice. Their size chart was buried deep. Clicked “Women” > “Tops” > “Sports Bras”… scrolled… scrolled some more… nothing. Had to actually click into a specific bra product page to find the damn chart. Even then, instructions were vague: “Measure your rib cage.” Had to hunt down a tape measure. Who keeps one handy?
- Measured under bust: Okay, got a number.
- Looked at the chart: Still confused. S/M/L? Or bra sizing? Their chart mixed both!
- Stared at bra images: Models looked happy. I felt lost.
Decided to gamble on a Large based on my rib number crossing over to the M/L chart. Praying it wouldn’t fit like a sausage casing.
The Discount Chase Was Real
Original site price felt steep. Obvious next step: Google “Reebok sports bra discount code.” Big mistake. Down the rabbit hole:
- Clickbait sites: “UNLOCK 70% OFF!” Just sign up for spam. No thanks.
- Old codes: Tried a bunch from “discount code” sites. “EXPIRED.” “INVALID.” Waste of time.
- Random retailer: Found some discount site running a “30% off Clearance” sale. Scrolled their Reebok section. Mostly bright pink or XXS/S left. Not helpful.
Gave up and went back to Reebok’s main site. Signed up for their stupid newsletter hoping for a “welcome 15% off.” Got the code minutes later. Small victory!
Actually Hitting ‘Buy’
Added the Large to my cart. Deep breath. Used the 15% off code – worked! Then panic set in:
- Return policy check: Scrolled frantically to the footer. “60 days! Free returns!” Huge relief.
- Color struggle: Basic black was sold out in Large. Contemplated “Electric Blue.” Looked neon. Bought it anyway. Figured gym lighting is bad.
- Shipping cost: Free shipping threshold was $100. My bra was $49.99. Added a cheap pair of socks I didn’t need to get free shipping. Total win? Maybe.
Checked out. Got the email confirmation. Felt equal parts accomplished and nervous about the fit.
It Showed Up… Eventually
Took way longer than the “3-5 business days” they promised. Sat in “Label Created” limbo for ages. Finally arrived yesterday.
Tore the package open like Christmas morning. Threw it on right over my t-shirt. Fit was… okay? Band felt snug, straps were good. Jumped around the living room like a goofball. No epic bouncing. Success! Mostly. Color is way brighter than the picture.
Anyway, that was my adventure. Got the bra. Didn’t go broke. Mostly.
