Question for the ladies

Try Shock Absorber D+MAX Support Sports Bra. I started out with a 38E one and I'm now 36DD and nothing moves at all, whether running or doing jumping jacks!

Agree, this is the bra that I wear too, and no problems! and i have about three of them. Oh and i am also a 36F.

I went from a 42D down to a 42C after a 29 lb. weight loss. I just wear an underwire cotton bra, CACIQUE from Lane Bryants fit GREAT!!!! lol

Hello, I know this is a bit personal but I am currently a 46D and I plan to lose 30lbs my fear is that I will lose my breasts I love my big breast and I do not think I will be mortified to go into the bigger or mid Cs, But I don't want to go from mid Ds to training bra, (and if this happens I will not getting any plastic surgery so if they go they're gone) but I just wanted to ask all of the ladies who have experienced this how it affected you? Is it a big change or is it worth it?Also is dramatic decrease in size visually unattractive?

I am a 32DDD and the only answer for me personally is to invest in high-quality sports bras. The good news is that there are a lot of online stores now that are geared towards women with larger busts. (Amazon is also great - just do a search for sports bras + your size.)

Underwire sports bras with defined cups made from moisture wicking fabric are my personal favs, since they avoid the unaboob look. If your workouts are high-intensity a good tip is to order your sports bras one cup size down from what you usually wear. The girls might get a bit squished but they won't move, lol.

I have one from Lululemon (expensive yes) that is fabulous! Supportive, snug and does the trick. Can't remember the name of it, but its made for running

I have one from Lululemon that is pretty good, called Ta ta tamer and it has adjustable straps. It's very soft and comfortable.
I also have one from Champion, found it at TJMaxx

I've had C's other than when I was pregnant and nursing(D to DD then) and sports bras usually were good enough. One thing is make sure you have the proper supportive size. It can be easy for some women to believe they are a size bigger than they really are so get a proper fitting.

My goodness, I just want to take all you people wearing inadequate bras or doubling up or smushing your boobs together to a good store to get properly fitted so you can get yourselves a decent sports bra! With the right fit and a good bra, you can be well contained and do all the high impact sports you want. I have had good luck with the high-impact Shock Absorber, and my current go-to is the Freya Full Coverage sports bra. I wear a 38F and it does the trick for me.

oh, and with 20lbs lost so far, no change in the girls.

I always thought I wanted to be bigger chested, until I saw girls at the gym with big ones, running, and it looks painful:noway:

Hi there,

In the beginning I would wear a bra and sports bra over.

Now that I have lost weight, I wear one really good sports bra- my favorite is the yoga sports bra from Victoria's Secret. The girls don't move one bit!

I love those! I own these in almost every color!

I'm better now that I've lost so much weight. Try wearing two bras though. It worked for me in the past.

I double up with an under wire sports bra, then a regular stretchy sports bra on top.

beatleschic87

I wear a compression bra and a sports bra that is slightly too small and tight. I've always been well endowed even when I was thinner so currently I'm like a 38F or something.

Same here. At 220 I was a 38DDD and I'm now 185... still a 38DDD. So I also wear my minimizer bra and a slightly too small sports bra over it. The more support the better but just make sure you can still breathe!

sarah307

I dont have large ones but i still wear two sports bras sometimes to keep them down lol

AlmstHvn

Good tips, everyone! Now if I just had a "holder" for the rest of my flab, I'd be set!

AlmstHvn

I double up for my double D's! Regular bra, then sports bra! Looking forward to being able to work out in only a well-fitting sports bra!

EDIT: And clothes... Sports bra & clothes... LOL

Your "PS" was hilarious!

leslielt

i'm suprised no guys (beerrunner always does it seems) have shown up to comment

amygee05nb

I wear a bra + sports bar. These ladies need to be contained.

Hornet4Life

I'm not huge but have am a tad blessed in the chest area. My fix: Champion sports bra's- Maximum control & high support style. They are pricey (30+ bucks) but last a good year so it's definitely worth it.

tmtolbert

if you are bigger than a C cup you cannot just wear the pull over your head, uni-boob, $5 sports bra! i am a DD cup and made the mistake of wearing those for far too long. once i actually invested in a sports bra for full figured ladies i had such a better time with my workouts! i was told that if you are larger than a C cup you need to buy a sports bra that is sized like a regular bra... not small, medium, large... and you shouldn't be wearing a sports bra that you have to pull over your head because it has too much give in it and will not hold you in!

tmtolbert

p.s. the bra i ended up getting and loving i found at academy sports and outdoors for $40! well worth it! now i can actually run and enjoy running and i don't bounce at all!

tanniew78

Wow there is so much good advice here. Tax time i am definitely going to get the girls fitted properly. And yea I need high impact because I want to do the 30DS, but let me tell you... Its NOT happening as my coverage is not adequate. lol. I tried. I really did.... The jumping jacks about killed me... No joke.... :noway:

tageekly

Like most here I wear two. I'm a 42DD and I wear a cotton sports bra with my Moving Comfort Fiona over it. They aren't really squished but contained well. I run, use the elliptical, go yoga, Zumba and all sorts of other "impactful" things and have no complaints. I did 30DS (with all the jumping!) with this combo and worked great. Good luck!

I went from a 42D down to a 42C after a 29 lb. weight loss. I just wear an underwire cotton bra, CACIQUE from Lane Bryants fit GREAT!!!! lol

Hello, I know this is a bit personal but I am currently a 46D and I plan to lose 30lbs my fear is that I will lose my breasts I love my big breast and I do not think I will be mortified to go into the bigger or mid Cs, But I don't want to go from mid Ds to training bra, (and if this happens I will not getting any plastic surgery so if they go they're gone) but I just wanted to ask all of the ladies who have experienced this how it affected you? Is it a big change or is it worth it?Also is dramatic decrease in size visually unattractive?

I went from being 5'8 199 lbs to currently at 160 and seeking to lose the last 10...I went from a 36DDD (38F at my heaviest weight 225 a few years back) to a 36D and those bras are a tiny bit big right now...I kinda miss the cleavage, but it sure makes it easier to run now

Everyone seems to lose differently...but there's not much you can do to spot reduce (or "not" reduce, in this case) in one area...you just gotta go with the flow Good luck with your weight loss!

alexsmith01

I'm a DD-E Cup and I just wear a sports bra with no probs, I had mine fitted and it supports me fine! Occassionally my boobs feel a bit uncomfortable and those days I stop my run and do something else instead

capaxinfiniti

I wear a bra with a sports bra on top! And then usually the shirt I wear is kinda tight and holds them in place!

If you can find a good store that sells minimizer bras, you should invest in one! Those help me when I'm going a lot of jumping around!

teasdino

Make sure the band is tight. That is where the major support starts. Then follow the other peoples advise and go for your specific size.
www.athleta.com and www.titlenine.com have their bras rated for your activity. Go there and watch their sites for sales! Every bounce you have is tearing the tissue that naturally holds the girls. Bit by bit. All those little bits will add up to the girls looking for change they heard was on the floor in later years....ugh! Better to have them locked down and contained now! ;-) These girls get locked up tight! Lol

Thank you for your response even though I was a bit off topic, I guess I was being a bit vain asking in the first place, being healthy should be all that matters, and I'll just go with the flow :happy:
