Sports bra recommendations?

Hello! I have a question for the ladies. I need a sports bra for a C cup that is a little thicker. I'd like support and less "headlights" when working out. Also - cost is certainly a factor right now as my clothing budget for the family is tight and I have a 2 year old who seems to grow out of something daily.

Athleta...not cheap but you won't have to replace it for years.0

You could always try wearing 2 sports bras instead of 1.0
-
Nike make good sport bras and so does Under Armour. Good luck 0
-
I just started using Enell and love them....but they are $60...made for big boobs:blushing:0
-
oh i would love to know this too! I'm a DD and I can't seem to find one that keeps the girls tucked away where they belong haha0

For low prices I'm happy with the Champion ones they sell at Target - usually $13-15. But I'm not a big runner or anything, so I'm not sure how they would hold up to that. For jogging & the elliptical though I like it.0

Agree with Enelle recommendation. They are quite pricey, but they last a llooong time if you don't put them in the dryer. I started wearing them at a 42H . Down to a 38DD now and still love them.0

I bought a CHAMPION sports bra at a DD and LOVE IT!!! I needed something for my ZUMBA class becuase of all the jumping around. The one I got was from a BALI/HANES/LLEGGS Outlet store and was about $20 but, ti was SOOOOO worth it!!! I am redy to get a couple more since I only got the one, not sure how it would work. :-)

This is the one I bought, I believe! They are cheaper at TARGET then on this site.0 -
I like the C9/Champion ones from Target. Depending on what time of the month it is, I can be anywhere from a C to a very full D. I find the microfiber ones don't have quite enough support on their own, but doubled up with a regular sports bra work well.
They also have a newer style that I just picked up yesterday. Lined, moulded cups in a traditional style sports bra. No hardware. Just under $20. So far, I like it!
Good luck!!0 -
I'm a C36 and am very well served by Adidas Techfit. I don't like cups or insertable pads in my sports bra, and these are great. Just hug nice and snug. Also very, very affordable, I think full price they are only $25. For that price, you can have enough for a clean one every workout day of the week.0

I'm a lingerie & intimates designer and work with sports bras a lot, one of the best brands is Lulemon. (Not cheap though.) Nike and Champion are also excellent.0
-
Shock absorbers are prety good too :-)0
-
my tatas are bigger than that but Walmart had some that work great and have a bit of coverage 0

I dispensed with the "sports" bra altogether. I really like the new bras made out of hosiery knit. They go by several names: Spanx has one, then there is the Ahh Bra. I have the Ahh Bra which is a little cheaper. you can find them in the drugstore for about $20/2 I'm well-endowed and I dislike jostling bouncing too much during exercise. It can be painful. It's a one piece with no plastic closures or clamps, and wide at the shoulder, a bit like wearing a bathing suit top, but more snugg. And it's padded, no nipple patrol. LOL.
It is very comfy and I don't really think about it. I've tried "sports" bras, but frankly their idea of support is crap. I'm looking at you Champion and Nike.
I'm about a 40D and I'm 5 ft.0 -

TATA TAMER from Lululemon!!!!!!! The BEST sports bra ever!!!!!!!
It is around $50 but I think the girls are worth it!0 -
I just Double Up..Cause I still haven't found My Wonder Woman Bra loool. Ima C as well.0

SHOCK ABSORBER SPORTS BRA
absolutely MUST-HAVE as a 34FF I've found heaven in it, best sports bra ever recommended to me by mfpers
therefore I'm spreading the word ! 0 -
I go to TJMaxx/Marshalls and pick out a bunch of different ones and do the "bounce test" in the dressing room. I have 3 favorites in the rotation right now and they were all 10 bucks!0

I am a 38 F....I love my shock absorber. Not cheap, but totally worth every penny. I got mine at Fleet Feet.0

Wal-mart also carries the Genie Bra. A pack of two for $20. They also have padding that you can easily take in and out. I love them! Granted they aren't very attractive but they work!0 -
i was going to say exactly what Valerie and said about the Champion one with the molded cups. i had bought cheaper ones that ended up being the highly unattractive "uni-boob" but the newer style with molded cups has MUCH better support for my 40D needs, and they're under 20 bucks. Can't beat that price! And i love being able to own a couple of them since i get so stinking sweaty when i work out and they hand rinse out easily and dry quickly, so i've always got a clean one. i have one in black and one in white now. Great value for the price, and i got mine from Target. There's enough coverage to be comfortable.
And now i need to look up the one MommaKit put--an underwire one? that would be great support! The one i got at Target with the heavy molded cups doesn't have an underwire, is lightweight but plenty supportive, but an underwire would be better for the more boisterous type exercises i avoid. :-)0 -
you get what you pay for with sports bras.. take it from someone with large boobs and who's been relying on sports bras for over 20 years.
i spend about $65 on a sports bra and that bra will last 12-18 months. i have a friend who buys the cheapie $20 ones that you have to wear 2 at a time and she has to replace 2-3 times a year. who pays less?
my favorite high impact bras are shock absorber and enell.
i think goddess, lululemon, elomi, moving comfort and underarmor might be good for up to d cups for high impact, but I'm a I cup and the most those brands can support me is for low impact stuff0 -
Thatnks for asking the question! I am a C/D cup and haven't found one I like. My daughter wears two. Which I don't like. Thanks for the suggestions!0
-
I have gotten the champion at Target and Danskin from Walmart...both do fairly well - but the girls are shrinking with the weight loss so not as much to hold.0
-
Honestly I have looked and looked and looked...many are over priced and dont fit well..so what I use now is
1. underwire bra I brought from the clearance rack at avenue.
2. Rhonda Shears (hsn.com ) ahhhhh bra (2 at a time).
Hopefully as I get smaller I will find one that I like and is more affordable.
Hope this helps...!!!0 -

This one supports real well. It pretty much smashes me. 38D. I like it a lot. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001AP3SNA/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i01 The black on is $26.00
I just got this one last week. I wish I had ordered a 38C. It is a little looser in the cup than I would like. I am a 38D in all my bras. I just like a real snug sports bra.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0030BLIAM/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00 I think I paid $18.00 dollars for the beige one.
Good luck!0 -
36DDD here and I bought a ShockAbsorber off Amazon - can't remember the cost but it wasn't a lot. It serves me great for running, jumping jacks, dancing, w/e. 0

Moving Comfort makes some PHENOMENAL sports bras... Kept mine in place when they were DD's and my new ones work great now that I've lost weight (and boobage)
I got mine on Amazon... I like the Maia and the Luna0
