Hi LC Ladies,

So I recently started doing more fitness and some jogging and well MY "girls" need major support. I am pretty endowed so any rigorous movement is actually painful :blush: Anybody have suggestions for a very supportive sports bra that will hold these puppies down. Thank you!

    Someone posted a link to the Booband recently, it looks pretty awesome.

    I stick with low impact activities right now - hillwalking instead of jogging to get mybheart rate up, but when my knees get stronger and I want to get into more high impact exercise, I'm definitely trying it out!

    I LOVE my Enell bra. It's the only sports bra I've ever owned that did not require a second bra with it to do its job! It is pricey, but worth it! ($50-$75 depending on where you buy it).

    If you have a specialty bra shop near you, it's good to go and try them on. According to their sizing, I should have been wearing a size 4, but the size 3 fit better. I was a 38J (US) at the time. I *just* bought a size 2, because I've lost about 44 lbs, but since that bra is so expensive, I haven't also bought new regular bras, so I don't know what my new size is :lol:

    I bought a sports bra before I started hitting the gym last month. I'm currently a 34F and heard horror stories about stretching breast muscles that will never go back!

    A good sports bra I because it must have two chambers - one for each breast and must be sized like a proper bra (waist band and cup) and not in small/medium/large etc.

    It gives me crap shape and they still move but the only go slighty up and down by comparison to a wave effect in a normal bra! I got mine at asda (UK version of Walmart) but M&S do a good range D+ and Sports Direct do a good range up to a D if that helps.

    For those of us in UK there is a company called Less Bounce. They specialise in sports bras. Look for them online. I think they have a few shops too but not sure where.

    second Panache, only thing that worked for me when I was in a 38H. Panache 5052 is the model, around $68, i buy them on Amazon and sometimes get them cheaper. Even now that I've lost most of my boobage I still prefer the Panache.

    I'm DD+ and I have had really good luck with a few of the Under Armour styles. I just went onto their site though to provide a direct link to one that I refer to as the ultimate harness.... and they don't even list 'high impact" bras anymore!? I did find this on the Sport Chek site and it is very very similar: https://www.sportchek.ca/categories/women/apparel/tops/bra-tops/product/under-armour-armour-high-womens-dd-bra-331907549.html

    I'm a 46I, and I have the Goddess Synergy Maximum Control Wire-Free Sports Bra. It seems to do its job...unfortunately, it was the ONLY sports bra that I could find in my size. >.> I hate that I can't shop in local stores for bras.

    Tip for putting it on - do up the bottom four clasps or so above the girls, pull the girls into place, and then do up the rest. :smile: I read that somewhere before I got mine, and it was tremendously helpful.

    Got my Ennel sports bra and I <3 it! Ok it's not going to win any fashion awards, looks like a cross between a 50's bra and a s&m bondage lol BUT it's extremely effective in holding the girls where the need to be when exercising. Very comfortable and loved that during Zumba they didn't when budge so I wasn't so self conscious about the bajungas lol Anyhoo, I give it a 9/10, my only dislike is all the hooks takes awhile to put it on lol

    Yay!!!! I'm so glad you like it. Yeah, it's definitely not a cute bra (I like to think of it as the world's largest sports bra, no matter your size!), but it definitely does its job :smiley:

    I deal with this too. I will be checking out Enell. I found that running on my rebounder helps. I find this lower impact, less bounce.
