Review: Victoria's Secret Studio Tank (Swiftly Tank Dupe)

I used to buy Victoria's Secret Sports Bra all the time before I discovered Lululemon. Now, Energy Bras are my go to sports bras. I do not like Victoria's Secret's VSX line for tanks and tops because the fabric always felt cheap and flimsy. Today, I was in the store to buy more VSX panties when I decided to look around at their new VSX line. They had some new tanks that were similar to Lululemon's No Limits Tank but again the fabric wasn't up to par. However, something displayed on the table caught my eye. They were tanks identical to Lululemon's Swiftly Tanks!

I was just in my local Lululemon today to try on the swiftly tank in raspberry glo but I felt that the fabric was too thin and based on the reviews, the fabric snags really easy. I was glad I did not buy the swiftly tank because Victoria's Secret Studio Tank is made of so much better quality fabric. The fit is similar and the fabric is thicker but has the same softness that the swiftly tank has. I was pleased to find a VSX Studio Tank that is a similar color to Bordeaux Drama. I tested out the tank for a run as soon as I got home and I the fabric felt light and dreamy. I was cool for my entire 5k run and the tank dried fairly quickly. I was impressed! As much as I love Lulu, I wish they would listen to their customer's opinions and stop raising their prices for sub par quality products. The Studio Tank from VSX is only $39.50 and it comes in several colors. Here is the link to the tank online. They don't have the Bordeaux Drama color online but you might find it in your local store. The last photo is a comparison of my Lululemon Catch me Tank in Bordeaux Drama and the VSX Studio Tank.

Review: Victoria's Secret VSX Sport Panty

I have been searching for the perfect workout underwear that not only conceals visible panty lines but also one that is comfortable and stays in place during an intense workout. I have tried several Lululemon panties (all a waste of $18 each), panties from Zobha, Commando, Nike, Underarmour, Moving Comfort and even Victoria's Secret Pink and VSX. I have not been satisfied with any of them until now. I think I have found the perfect workout underwear for me. I am picky when it comes to underwear and I cannot wear thongs or cheeky panties while working out. Having full coverage is a must so I was happy to find that the Victoria's Secret VSX line had new panties out called the "No show Sport Hiphugger." These panties are seamless, wicks away sweat really quick and are very comfortable. I have used these while rowing, running, biking, on the stair master and on the AMT machine and the entire time it stayed in place. I was so pleased that I forgot it was there! I am usually conscious about my workout panties because they are either hiking up my bum or I would need to run to the ladies room to "readjust" my panties. I am so glad to have found these and I am going to stock up on them! Just like Lululemon, Victoria's Secret tends to phase out or discontinue styles and colors. At $12.50 per piece or $33 for 3 panties, it is a steal!

I bought the black, neon pink and taupe plum. Here's a comparison of the neon pink VSX No show Hiphugger and the Lululemon Energy Bra in Pinkelicious. The colors are similar with Pinkelicious being a little brighter.
