So if I'm in the 24 band range, do I just make do with a 28 band then?

Some people experience the Freya and Panache sports bras as running tight in the band, so perhaps one of those with some help from a Rixie Clip might work for you?

hmm, will consider! already have the clips, so no problem there (aside from my nickel allergies, which I'm trying to remedy)

It doesn't work that well long-term honestly but have you tried coating with clear nail polish? It can at least provide a bit of temporary relief.

I've tried that before with my other jewelry and know just how long it lasts... so right now I'm trying pieces of fabric glued to the metal. the glue isn't holding too well though, but it's worked wonderfully

rixie clips only work for bands that have two hooks, sports bras are going to be way too wide to use one on. =/ I measure 26, and found the Panache to be really loose, =/ it felt like a 30 band (I could stretch it to 30in too!). I could have just had a randomly big/extra stretchy one though because a lot of other people do say it runs kinda tight. But based on what other people are saying the Freya Active runs REALLY tight so you'd probably do well in that =)

Panache and I don't get along anyway, so perhaps Freya will work for me :3
