    I recently visited an Under Armour outlet store where the (female) sales rep told my friend that their High Intensity sports bras are like "clouds gently holding your bosoms in place." With a description like that, I had to try them! I hadn't ever had a sports bra that fastens in the back (this is a combination overhead/back-fastened bra), so it felt a little awkward to put on and I feel like I notice it for the first few minutes that I'm wearing it.

    BUT...I've since worn it for both HIIT sessions and up to 9.5-mile runs, and I have to admit that it's super comfy! (I actually ordered another one online just now!) It seems a little more solidly built than some of my other sports bras (including a UA overhead one I bought a couple years ago) so I don't imagine it'll be stretching out or wearing through anytime soon.

    Haven't tried the Moving Comfort one everyone else has been recommending, but figured I'd share my recent success. :smile:

    I buy these bras at Walmart, they are cheap and I love them. I'm only a 36B but even when I was bigger I never had a problem with chafing. They don't slide up and down when I run and are comfortable..oh yeah and cheap at like $12.00.

  • Body Glide!!!!!! I used to begin chafing after the run hit about 9 miles or more. Usually at the straps over my shoulder and in front of my ribs. I don't go distance now without body glide. It looks like deodorant but works like a charm. Give it a shot.

    Paw paw ointment seems to work okay for me, both for prevention and treatment. I have the chafing as soon as my runs reach about 15km but never on smaller runs :|

    This has happened to me before. 1) Vaseline or body glide on affected areas 2) make sure you are wearing a high-impact sports bra (I like Moving Comfort for larger-chested ladies), 3) If you are wearing your sports bra several times a week, you should be replacing it annually.
