So last night I tried Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred for the first time and very quickly realized that if I was going to try doing it again today, I would need a SERIOUS sports bra. I haven't bought one in over 15 years so can anyone suggest a good place to get one? Or a specific brand that you've liked? I need to find one that'll fit me without feeling like a mammogram (I'm a size 42DD). Help!

    hiya, i use Shock Absorber bras and find them to be good, the cheaper brands in sports shops really dont seem to do the job as well x

    oh and to add im a 38DD and they're the best i've had

    I use Moving Comfort. My favorites in that brand are the Juno and the Maia. I'm a full 40C and I run and I do not bounce.

    I use an Enell High Impact bra. I'm 38 DDD. I believe their website is enell.com, but I ordered mine off of Amazon.

    I also use Shock Absorber. I would definitely recommend that you get fitted properly though - I was wearing 36d and when I was fitted it turned out I am actually a 34ff!!! :-)

    I get mine for fairly cheap from RoadRunnerSports. I have their VIP discount and then look for coupons. My last $65 bra only cost me $26!

    I ordered an enell... from www.enell.com

    first one wasn't exactly comfortable... so I called them and we special designed one...

    I am in HEAVEN... I can run... (well sort of... try anyways... sigh... long story that has me frustrated but has nothing to do with boobs)... I can JUMP... I can rock climb... and the girls don't move!!!


    I would marry this bra if it were possible... I have NEVER had a bra that I WANTED to wear :blushing:

    Awesome to see so many specific responses, thank you so much! I don't suppose I can find any of these brands at WalMart, Target, D|ck's Sporting Goods, etc.? I was really hoping to buy one on my way home from work to do a workout when I get home but if I have to order one then I'll just have to put Jillian on the back burner and do something else in the meantime.

    As for size, I've been fitted recently and was told that I was a 40DDD but had to buy 42DD's at the same store because their "40" size didn't hook up comfortably and the style of regular bra I buy typically ends up stretching through the cups so I buy a size smaller so that they fit longer (I'm closer to a DD than a DDD in terms of measurement). But typically if I'm buying something new (especially online) I'll pick up two sizes to try on/buy just in case.

    Maaaybe ****s? I definitely dont see them at WalMart or Target.

    Personally, I feel a good bra is worth it. I usually get my stuff from RRS in about 3 days. Free rushed shipping.

    I have an awesome one from Target - they have a whole shelf of them at every target with lots of fun colors - I think they may be champion brand but not sure? They were about $16 each.

    Maybe I'll grab one of these on my way home so I don't have to skip a day of Jillian's workout (it is supposed to be daily right?) and order a couple of the more expensive ones online and just use the Champion until they come in.... great advice everyone, thank you very much! :flowerforyou:

    Holy cow.. just went to Amazon and added 2 different bras that were suggested here to my cart... $110!!! I may need to try one at a time at those prices... or just invest in a reduction! :laugh:
