Could any of you kind folks recommend a decent sports bra for running/hiking? I am not extremely gifted in the cup-size department (36 B), but the champion bras I am using right now feel a little too tight around my ribcage and I have tried bigger sizes. Not sure if they are just bad quality or if my ribcage is wide or what the deal is. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Try the TitleNine.com catalogue. They've got a good selection of sports bras for all types of activities & even have them for pregnant/post pregnant athletes.

    I'm a regular/medium size myself and I love Danskin sport bras. I got mine from the Evil Empire (walmart) :smile:

    Not sure what ones your using, but I like the danskin ones from walmart. I got some that clip in the front that are comfortable, and then the flat kind that you pull on that kind of smoosh your boobs. (I like the 2nd one for jogging etc...its stretchy so might not feel bad around your ribs). I'm a 38B.

    I suggest MovingComfort. Very comfortable and come in all shapes and sizes!!! Approx. $20-$50 depending on your size. Also accomodate for different levels of "jiggle"... low, medium, high.

    DITTO THIS!!! I went to movingcomfort's website and did my fit assessment and then went to Amazon (cheaper) and purchased the Fiona bra. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! It's been well worth my money.

    I went to a lingerie store that had a big range of sports bras, wonder bra I think. They measured me and I tried about 20 on and bounced up and down in the changing room until I found one I was happy with. Getting the correct size is crucial x

    Lululemon has great ones in the $40 - $50 range, with all kinds of support options.

    I just bought some yoga bras on sale for $9.99 from Victoria's Secret that are pretty good, too.

    I found some really inexpensive ones by Alo in Marshalls. I think they were $12.99 each as opposed to $50 each in ****'s Sporting Goods. I really like them.

    I'm not very sporty so I don't have much need for one but I heard a DJ on the radio, who runs regularly, say that the trick is to wear 2 sports bras at the same time for better support.

    I have this: 1.jpg

    But my 32DDs need the compression

    ETA: I found it at Sears but they have a website to order online.
