question for the big blessed chested ladies.

I wear 42 DD and I always work out with my bathing suit on under my clothes b/c I swim afterward. My suit is fairly snug and seems to hold everything in nicely.

cotton to absorb sweat,

FYI, cotton is generally not the best bra material. Better to wick sweat than absorb it. Absorbing it can contribute to risk of nasty things like yeast infection under the boobs and bad chafing. Cotton also tends to stretch when it's wet and support less. And a wet bra just plain feels icky.

Enell is usually very good for the D-DDD range - I vary from and H to an L ( tangent: depending on the bra, though, and since Goddess was bought out by fantasie some years back they fit differently - my old goddess size g/H my new size K/L and the tag says something like UK cup G US cup K, - no, my US size was the G so I think they flipped the tags)

anyhoo doesn't matter the tag size, just the fit

so for Enell, which I wear, the cup isn't really big enough - I do get that 4 boob effect, but it holds the girls down (except for jumping jacks) and is the best I found in my size lately (oh how manufacturers love to discontinue bras that I like)
I also have Elomi but the straps loosen up too much on me
oh and Freya is good as well but only up to a size 38 (which may work for you, a lot of people forget to tight their band size as they get thinner)
I used to also have luck with Shockabsorber brand and a lot of my friends recommend them (they go to a small HH cup)
also moving comfort (some of theirs go to a DD or E or DDD
in addition to herroom

I also love teamestrogen a female focused sports gear site, main focus is cycling but they have other options too and in plus size

i have the same problem too i used to wear a Hestia sports bra for high impact sports which did nothing
im now using a Triamph bra which is great and only cheap too so you can have a few changes if you need be

i cant even fit into a VS Bra, first they dont carry my size. second there is no support when i did. I have to go to fredricks or lane bryants, and thats for a regular bra. My next step is to go to sears or dillards. AND thank you soooooo much for the info on the sports bra. Im be glad to get rid of the hurt . o and bounce.

Mandag, I see that you are in Fort Worth so I googled for a specialty bra shop neary you, have you tried:

I am a 32DD(D) and my go to sports bra is the coolmax sports bra by lunaire. You can order it online from Amazon and it will run you about $35. If you're lucky enough to live by a Dillard's they also sell them there. I absolutely love love love this bra. I never bounce. Its fully equipped with underwire and everything, so you know you're getting great support!

I'm a 38-40 DD. I hate my life all day long because of what I do but its the only method that works for me. I wear a regular bra to help keep them separated (not all squished together like most sports bras would leave them since every bra company in the world- or at least any I've been exposed to- skimps out on bigger bras' qualities and such) and put a sports bra over that to help keep them held in better for running and such. At first its really tight and is uncomfortable but it has helped. :l Rather have one good bra but they've been scarce. Since then though I've noticed they've gotten a little shaplier and perkier, might just be the exercise itself though.

<~~~~~~~~~~ Your problem solver, ladies, has arrived! I'm a 38DD or a very full 38D.. I use a regular bra, a sports bra that's a tad tight, and a tight tank top over. There is a lot of support there. I have never had any pain in my chest, and even though the boobies do bounce a lot (c'mon now, you can't stop that!), I am super comfortable running, elliptical, bending over, etc.

This is what I do; I have an old crummy bra with underwire and sports bra ontop of that and a tanktop over it. being anti-bouncy in the chest sure beats getting smacked in the face with a boob! The entire...mass...jumps around a bit but it's so much better then just one sports bra =D

I did have that problem being a FF, and I struggled for years trying to find a sports bra that actually worked.

I came across one by accident at my local debenhams and it's brilliant. Really makes a difference, I can jump around and althought there is a little movement, no more pain, feel fully supported :0)

I think the trick really is to find a decent fitting and decently made sports bra. I've found the ones with the cross backs don't offer me any support, it has to be the full enchillada, big wide straps, three catches on the back, thick band under your breasts.

I'm not as well endowed in the chest department as you or some of the other women here. I'm a meer 40D but I wear a 38D sports bra when working out. I don't do a whole heck of a lot of high impact so I only wear the one bra when walking, using the elliptical, strength training and biking. The only time I ever get any movement is when I go over 100RPMs on the bike and then its just some slight swaying back and forth... Nothing too major.

I to hear a lot of larger chested gals either wear two sports bras or wear their normal bra with a sports bra over it. Personally I think that would be uncomfortable, so I just wear one that's a size smaller than I am in a normal bra. Though I may shrink a little in the chest and end up having to buy smaller sports bras again :-P

not just cotton - lots of other good stuff too!!

I wear a regular bra and then a snug fitting sports bra over that. I still get bounce but nothing like it was before. Good luck to you!

I think the regular bra and sports bra should work. I'm a 42 DD and it does get in the way. My biggest issue is my butt. I can barely run becuase my booty is jumping and moving all over the place. Drives me nuts.
