High Impact Sports Bras for the Well-endowed

snarlingcoyote

I'd love to see a pinned post that serves as a database for all the ladies who are just started high impact sports such as running. Apparently, we need to first create such a post and then submit the thread to Myfitnesspal to see if they will pin it.

So, in the interest of that - and even if MFP doesn't pin it, we can all bookmark it and guide other ladies to it, so it will be useful, I think - let's all give our nationality (sizing is different, just slightly in different countries), size, favorite bra and any words of advice.

I'll start:

I'm in the USA.
36DD

As for bras:
Moving Comfort Fiona
Moving Comfort Juno
Glamorise Full-figure bra (can't find the name for this one)
Champion high impact bra (it is almost identical to my Juno)
ShockAbsorber (this one is okay, but the padding around my nipples really isn't thick enough. I save it for shorter run days)

My advice:

1. Try a band size and/or cup size down from what you normally wear.
2. I wash on delicate with a little vinegar in the water with my soap, dry in the drier, and my bras hold up fine.
3. If you are losing weight, check your cup and band size every so often. You do not need a pricey fitting for this. Measure everything. Go to a discount department store with a friend or three and a friendly fitting room monitor, grab up as many bras in as many different styles and sizes as you can, and then try them on until you find the One. You will know the One because it will feel as though the angels in heaven are singing and you are surrounded by an unearthly corona. I am not joking. This is true for sports bras and regular bras.
