So where do you big breasted women buy sports bras?

I want to start jogging, but I want the girls STRAPPED DOWN. I can't seem to find any durable (key word here) ones that are larger than a DD cup size.

Internet/mail order is totally acceptable.

    Moving Comfort Maia Sports Bra! A bit pricey but so worth it. It does have an underwire (which I like/need). Check out www.REI.com. I purchased some from the mark down section for around $25. Typical retail is $46. You might be able to find them in a sporting goods store too. I HIGHLY recommend this bra!! You will love it! Your girls will stay put. Good luck! :smile:

    I found some XXX sports bras at Walmart last year and have been wearing 2 of them at a time... but I don't jog... so I'd look at the top 2 links.
    Good luck!

    I wear a 38 H and I have some reg bras WITHOUT underwire (from Lane Bryant) in them that I wear with 2-3 XXL sports bras over top.I found a really supportive sports bra at walmart..bought the biggest size they had and it works well with the reg bra but I dont remember what the name brand was :-(

    I've found Champion XXL sizes at Target - they're cheap so wearing multiple isn't too bad. Good luck!

    I use these two and double up. I recently bought a couple XL so I can wear a XXL under and a XL on top. Doubling keeps the girls in place usually. As I've lost weight, so have the girls. That's why I just picked up the XL to put over top. While I know it's a worthwhile purchase, I'm having a hard time spending $50+ on a sports bra. I'm so cheap! :tongue:

    I know how that is. I wear a 42F (one size up from a DDD) and I can't find them anywhere - not even Lane Bryant where I buy all my bras. It really irritates me. So I wear an old bra & strap them down with two of the largest size sports bras (without cup sizes) I can find (usually XXL). I've found Champion XXL sizes at Target - they're cheap so wearing multiple isn't too bad. Good luck!

    P.S. Let me know if you find any...

    Wow, that stinks to have to wear two sports bras. It would be nice if manufactures would read this!

    I double them up. It flattens them out and keeps them mostly still during runs.

    No joke, the best bra that I have found is by Enell. It's AWESOME! I used to double up my bras when I ran and that drove me nuts! This one has absolutely NO bounce what so ever.

    It's expensive in the store ($60) but you can find them on Ebay for $30. TOTALLY WORTH EVERY PENNY.

    Here are some previous threads about sports bras:

    Personally, I like the Energie by Le Mystere, or the sports bra offered by Lunaire (Lunaire cup sizes run very large, a DDD is roughly equivalent to a FF). There are plenty of companies that cater to larger chested women, including those two, Enell, and Freya Active. If you're willing to spend just a little extra (whether you purchase on E-bay or from another vendor) you will get a superior sports bra that will truly reduce bounce. When I used to wear two and three sports bras during activity, I would either end up feeling like I was crushing bones, or I my breasts would be "tired" after being crammed in to something that really didn't fit me properly. I know price is always an issue for most people, as it is for me, but my boobs are not something I'm willing to sacrifice on. :laugh:
