I get chafing with my bras the longer I run. I want some new ones. I need some recommendations.

I never wear them....long runs require band aids on my nipples.
In regards to women, I recommend wearing whatever is most comfortable and supportive and comes in a very bright colour; sequens work.0 -
I'm small chested. I don't see any smaller than a c0

I got a couple of these on clearance last year and LOVE them. Especially for hot days. I don't feel like I need to wring it out at the end of a long run.

I'm a 34A in regular bras .. I wear 34C in those.
Running stores here carry that model in store, so I'm sure you could find it somewhere to try it out,0 -
I have this problem no matter how much body glide I use. I am not well endowed at all and the top part of the bra always causes problems. The seemless bras reduce it, but there has to be something better!0

Make sure whatever you're wearing it fits tight. I was wearing mediums and dropped only a couple pounds but that was enough to make them too big. Started having major chafing problems. Switched to size small and have no issues. I just wear the ones from Target, C9 by Champion brand.0

I have purchased two at old Navy and I love them, they fit great and have not had any issues.0

Moving Comfort Fiona - I must own at least 15 of them. They're the best!0

I really like Nike Pro with Dri-Fit:

Wrap tightly with Saran wrap, then throw a tech shirt over the top.
What? I"m just trying to help!0 -
I have some from there and that is what is chaffing me. I got a nice welt on my upper chest from them.

Thank you for all your suggestions

I absolutely cannot wear Nike sports bras. They chafe and cut. They are not nice.
Believe it or not, the best sports bra I have found is the Road Runner Sports brand sports bra! They have a lovely compression bra that does not chafe! Believe you me, I have tried them all!
If you time it right, you can get their brand on sale, too. Whether you pay full price or sale price, they are worth it! I'm sold!!!0 -

I have a ton of those that are now too big -- and they quit making the ones I really liked. I tried two of the new styles (including one that looks a lot like the old ones) but they don't have nearly the support I need. I was able to find them on clearance on the Champion website (in a limited color selection) so I bought 4 more in the new size.
The Old Navy ones support really well but dang they're hard for me to get back off again after my run.0 -
I feel like a salesperson for Champion compression bras; I'm always recommending them. They are tricky to get on & off, until you get used to them, but they are fantastic. No bouncing, no movement of the bra whatsoever. It's definitely a compression bra, so it is tight, but extremely comfortable. I won't wear anything else. There are a couple of styles, but this is my favorite: http://www.amazon.com/Champion-Womens-Sweetheart-Compression-X-Large/dp/B006O94GCO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1393642787&sr=8-2&keywords=champion+compression+bra0

Ooh...thanks. This looks like it can replace the Champion compression bra I loved that they discontinued, which you can still get on closeout on their website - http://www.championusa.com/workout-clothes/outlet/champion-c9-closeouts/women-/-cn9525--10 -

The smallest size online is 34C. Do they have any band sizes in stores that are smaller ? I am wearing a 32 band and think I am going to need a 30.
I liked my Panache until it got too big :-( $68.00 <ouch>0 -
I think I want to try these:

I would highly recommend Moving Comfort. I'm built quite heavy on the top (DD) and have had chronic issues finding bras that (a) don't chafe and (b) keep everything in place securely. I currently use this one (http://www.rei.com/product/803129/moving-comfort-juno-sports-bra) the most and is my go-to for... everything. After owning, washing and torturing my favorite one for 2 years, I ran 14 miles in it yesterday with no issues.
It was recommended to me by a sales associate at a running expo. She handed it to me and said "lock and load". She was absolutely right. 0 -
I bought one. The one I pick I read was for small chests. I hope I like it!0

My favourite right now is my UA Still Gotta Have It. Even though it claims to be a mid-impact bra, I find it offers me great bounce reduction/support and I'm a DD cup with a smaller ribcage.
I also use Nike dri-fit bras, but I always find that they are drenched.
I haven't run in it forever, because it's now too big, but last year my favourite was the VSX convertible sports bra from Victoria secret.0
