    Girl I feel your pain!!!! I'm a size 42F and I seriously cannot get over the sticker shock of the bras meant for my chest size! Especially when I'm losing a bunch of weight and know in a month I'll need to spend that amount AGAIN for a new one. Eek! I double up sports bras for now, and it seems to do the trick, but I'm also not running anywhere near as long as you so I can't say for sure how much it'd help in your case.

    Exactly, it's like $80 now just to get another one next month lol. But double bra, I'll give it a shot :)

    Vasoline is a cheaper option for Body Glide, it is just a little messier to put on.
    I do use a powder when not exercising (if I am wearing a dress) but I sweat if off much too quickly for running (not saying you shouldn't, do what works)

    That's my problem, I have hyper hidrosis, so when I sweat.... I make it rain
    But people should do what works for them!
    I'm gonna swing by the store to get some body glide, but I'll definitely make sure to get some Vaseline as back up!

    Monistat and gold bond both making anti-chafe products, I have used both with success. The monistat was in a tube you applied with your fingers

    Monistat as in the yeast infection cream?
    Never heard of using it for that, but then again I wouldn't be surprised. I heard it also works for hair regrowth, go figure lol

    I think Monistat makes some sort of chafing product (a gel I think) that's different from the yeast infection cream. I've heard that people use it as a cheap makeup primer, though I've never paid attention to it myself.

    I second (third??) the idea that your bra is now too large. My sports bras are too large for me now as well, but that's not a huge deal for me since I just discovered today that I am able to run ~5 miles without a bra at all, though it's not super pleasant. That's a dubious weight loss accomplishment if I ever heard of one! :grumble: But this is reminding me that I should get a new bra that fits, too.

    I'm pretty small chested my self so I don't really deal with this lol. But my sister always said that investing in a good bra is totally worth it she always uses Body Glide, she very happy with it..

    whoo hoo! guess that's always a good sign :P
    And I'll definitely keep the two bras thing in mind since a couple other ladies suggested that as well. I knew bras were expensive, but $80 for a bra that I might once again be too small for seems out of the budget at the moment

    Amazon! You can find several of the bras mentioned on Amazon for way cheaper.
    Ebay is also good (new ones only obviously!). Tend to be end of line/ season ones so if you're an average size there may not be the sellers but if you're a slightly odd size (eg smaller band/ bigger cup) you can pick them up for anything upto half price IME.

    Hey, I know this thread hasn't been active for a while, but I skimmed through it and saw that no one suggested this brand or sports bra and decided to offer some support (see what I did there? :wink: ).

    Up until last year I did the double bra thing and that can be a hassle at times (extra laundry :grumble: ). It also never seemed to have quite as much hold as I'd like. I tried a lot of other brands but most sports bras have too much elastic/bounce. I randomly found the Enell brand during a search and, seriously, it has changed my life! The bras are a bit pricey but they are worth every cent. You can find them on Amazon for slightly cheaper.
