I want to begin the C25K program soon and have been searching online for a supportive sports bra. The problem is that many of them do not receive great ratings for support or that the highly rated ones don't come in my size. (Go figure that Cacique, a subsidiary of Lane Bryant, doesn't carry 38 band sports bras beyond DD.) Ladies, any suggestions for a woman who needs a Size 38DDD sports bra?

    I use shock absorber sports bras and find them to be really good, not sure if you can get them in the US (assuming you're in the US as you use DDD rather than E), and they go up to a 38 band size and an F cup size so would have your size :)

    Try that link. I clicked a couple of them and they do offer in band 38. Some of them even have good ratings.

    I don't know if Bravissimo deliver to the US but they specialise in the larger boobalina....I'm a 38HH which would probably be a DDDDDDDD in the US.....thank god for the rest of the alphabet!

    This may sound weird, but I have never found a bra supportive enough for my F cup, so I wear 2 bras when I run, one sports bra, one with underwire. It's not really uncomfortable, just takes a little getting used to.

    They stop adding Ds after the third (sometimes the fourth). :P

    The brand Cacique, sold at Lane Bryant, specializes in large cup sizes. Also, this may sound weird, but I have never found a bra supportive enough for my F cup, so I wear 2 bras when I run, one sports bra, one with underwire. It's not really uncomfortable, just takes a little getting used to.

    I wear a 44DDD and I wear a regular underwire bra and a sports bra over it. I have since forever, because I can never find a supportive enough sports bra.

    16G here, no idea how many Ds that'd be! No luck finding a good bra here either, I jump right out of any sports bra doing jumping jacks, have been wearing a tight "boob tube" over my normal bra (a "minimiser"), which helps a bit.
    Would love to lose weight off my boobs so I can at least attempt skipping or jogging in public! Sadly they haven't changed much at all yet, not fun on a 5ft frame, =(. Even when I was only 47kg though I was still a C cup, :frown:

    Thanks for all the feedback, ladies. I will look into the recommended brands and, if nothing pans out, revert to a sports bra over a regular bra.

    If you go to the Title Nine website, they have a bra by Enell called the Last Resort. I love it and use it for running. It takes a bit getting use to at first because you think you can't breath, but you will not bounce! Make sure you do not get the Enell for "light support" though.
