Sports Bra - Larger Breasts

Options
Hi Ladies!

I am currently a 42DD and am looking for a sports bra. I REALLY would like to get one without underwires for extra comfort but, does anyone have any suggestions? I am not looking to spend a fortune either, I already have too with my regular bras lol!

    I use 2 champion XL sports bras at a time, they seem to be pretty comfortable especially when it comes to jumping jacks.

    I definitely recommend the "Tata Tamer" from lululemon. It's worth every penny.

    The website has reviews worth reading too.

    Once upon a time I was a D (about ten pounds ago, haha). I'm now more like a large C. I've used the same sports bra since then--it's the C9 by Champion Seamless Racerback Bra. Love those things, I have it in about four colors. Weirdly, though, it has always worked for me better if I get one on the smaller side so that it fits a bit tighter; all of mine are currently a small when usually I'd be a medium or a large in other sorts of tops.

    The needs of a someone with very large breasts are a real pain and I know it. I'm a 32FF/G and it's almost impossible to find anything (based on some stores, apparently anyone wearing over a size D cup doesn't need a sports bra). I'm currently using a Shock Absorber bra (http://www.shockabsorber.co.uk/) in a level 4 support. It's a snug and almost uncomfortable, but I don't jiggle in it at all. I actually found it on ebay for relatively cheap and I'm likely to get a second one soon.

    I also used to really like the Last Resort bra, but had a hard time finding the right size.

    And then I need to give my standard disclaimer about making sure your sizing is especially right for sports bras. Try out a one band size smaller and one cup size up from what you're wearing now. Most people are in the wrong size anyway and it may help with comfort.

    I wear a 38D and the best I have found that won't break the bank is the compression bra that Champion makes. You can find them at Target.

    I have to triple up on Sports bras! Having tig ol' bitties can be a pain...in the BACK/NECK.

    Thanks for posting this question! (and everyone that has responded with links and such)

    I can tell you what NOT to buy...the Old Navy activewear sports bras. They do nothing!

    I used to have to do that when I wore the over the head ones! A really well made sports bra can change your world.

    Shock absorber make a running bra for bigger boobs that is meant to prevent the 'figure 8' action. I'm a 32F, this is the best I've found so far. I found reading reviews helpful on Amazon when looking. Good luck!

    I also use ones by Champion...not entirely sure what the style is since there are so many, but it is a racerback over the head style that also has regular bra hooks. Also it comes in bra sizes, not s-m-l. I started wearing them when i was a 40DD and loved them. I'm now a 38D, and am getting into running and they're still doing the trick. Super impressive for such a reasonably priced bra, plus the uniboob isn't too bad!

    ChEck with cacique it's part of the limited Corp and sometimes connected to lane Bryant stores. I worked for lb many years ago when I was a 38ddd and then some. Cacique has a huge selection of quality bras to choose from I'm sure they will have exactly what you need . They also do bra fittings free there so it's the best way to get the perfect fit

    I'm a 42DDD and I use Enell. Oprah endorsed it and I was like why not. It's not the prettiest thing but it holds the girls in place. I could bounce up and down and my boobs do not move. They are pricey ($50+) but I've had mine for about a year and it still feels brand new.

    i ended up finding good reviews for the Moving Comfort Maia:

    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001B1KUS4/ref=oh_details_o03_s01_i00

    wore it tonight for the first time in karate and jumping jacks and kicks were a breeze! felt nice not to feel all of that bounce during my jumping jacks and kicks! i would recommend it - and it is easy to put on too.
