Overall impression: Sassybax, an alternative bra designed by TV star Amanda Horan Kennedy to fight visible bra lines, was comfortable and practical enough for travel. Though none of the promotional materials recommended Sassybax for travel, they did say it was more comfortable than traditional under wire and sports bras. We tried it on a roundtrip transatlantic flight and during the trip.
We liked it and would travel with it again. It provided support and was comfortable to wear for long stretches of time. It was comfortable for less time outdoors in the summer heat. It was definitely more comfortable than an under wire bra. It was more comfortable and more flattering than a sports bra. The only drawback we found to our Cocoa model was that it was visible when worn with some sleeveless tops. Because of its cocoa color, it was noticeable with white or light colored blouses. We imagine that problem would disappear with the white model. The fabric was light when packing. It washed well and dried quickly without noticeable wear, loss of shape or discoloration.
