Help me buy a sports bra....

[emandbri]

are there any that have support? I've been walking almost daily with friends and I was thinking I wanted to get a good sports bra. I bought one from target and I got an XL because the XXL just seemed way too big but it has no support at all, it is like walking around in a tank top.

I'm around a 38 D or DD.

Thanks for any help!

I'm a 42DD and really like the Champion sports bras I have from Target (in XXL).

They aren't that pricey and they give me all the support I need.

i agree. champion sports bras are awesome.

i can't rec a specific one, because the ones i bought for a long time are discontinued.

but as a second choice (when wearing other "lesser bras") i've often been known to wear 2 sports bras at a time--right on top of each other :eek: i know it sounds silly, but I've actually found out over the years that a lot of other "well endowed" gals do it--when I talked to a few others about it, they all said the same thing: "I thought I was the only one who did that!!!" now, when i'm at the gym, i see other ladies doing the same thing on occasion. It also works if your sports bras are just getting a little old, or stretched, etc. It's my stop-gap measure. I guess it's a little-known secret ;)

so, try it until you find something better!

This was shown on my local TV some time back. they gave 2 recommendations for well endowed women. the more easily found on is probably the champion bra

"Another top performer was the champion Powerback Underwire bra."

I am a A but I cant help remembering this show as I have many well endowed girl friends.

Oh definitely the Champion bras, they're the best and far more reasonably priced than others. I have some of one size and some of the next bigger and I prefer the tighter ones myself.

[emandbri]

Hum, the one I bought is a champion. I already sized down because it seemed so big, surely I don't wear a large. :p

I'll try to find one in Rochelle's link.

These are pricey, but they are the best by far of any I have found.

I am well endowed also and these hold me in better than any other brands.
I have tried every kind out there too, I swear.....lol
I did not want to break down and buy one of this brand, but after striking our with so many others, I should have just bought one or 2 of these instead of many of other brands--it would have saved me time, money and frustration.

When I have been larger and more well endowed, I was not able to use ones that were pull over. I needed ones that opened/closed in the back and were worn like regular bras. I tried everything, the Enell, Natori, Moving Comfort, and many other high priced recommended brands. But those one came up to high under my arm pits and hurt me - they either dug in or caused friction/rubbing issues.

The best ones I found were champion. They had underwire. One had the "mesh panels" in the front, the other style was microfiber. I just took a quick look on line and couldn't find the same ones I bought previously (there were a couple of styles). They ran around $20-30 I think. I haven't bought one since before I got pregnant with dd2. I've started going to the gym again and wearing those old bras (they were brand new when I got pregnant!), but they aren't really the right size, so I need to buy new ones again.

Once I was smaller after loosing weight, then I was able to use the pull over ones, but not when I was bigger.

I'm a 38 D, and I JOG in my Nike sports bras. I wear an XL, but have 2 Large's that I wear when I'm out roller blading. I love them. I'll look for a link!

I have 4 of these in XL : http://store.nike.com/index.jsp?cp=USNS_KW_0611081618&country=US&lang_locale=en_US#l=shop,pdp,ctr-inline/cid-1/pid-222879/pgid-199602

www.biggerbras.com

It's the only place I shopped before two weeks ago when I had my breast reduction. ;)

I was a 34I and got a sports bra from that site that I can jog in with NO issues... love that site. :)

I've never found a sports bra that was supportive for my girls until DS2 was little. I was doing Baby Boot Camp and complaining about my sports bra! Somebody recommended a bra that was supportive, but also let me know it was great for breastfeeding cause the straps are adjustable from the front!

Fiona Bra (http://www.movingcomfort.com/dyn_prod.php?p=350003&k=123410): It's pricey, but the only bra that I've found that I don't bounce around in!! And FYI, mine is a 38DD - still NO bounce!! :thumbsup:

ETA: I bought mine at Title Nine (locally), and they have some (38D in stock) on sale right now - 3 Reasons Support Bra (http://www.titlenine.com/jump.jsp?itemType=PRODUCT&itemID=3392&w=fiona+bra).
