Top-heavy friends: How do I slow my girls from when I run?

I volunteer to be a spotter......lol

Don't you mean to help support them? Lol:bigsmile:

I'm a DD. I can't say this enough, invest in a really good sports bra, get properly sized, which means going to a running store and having yourself measured to get a good fit.Then buy a bunch of cheap pullover sports bras, one size smaller, you want that puppy tight. I have a couple of Moving Comfort bras, they're about $45, the first one I bought at the running store, but the second one I found on Amazon for half. Good luck, I have felt your pain.

Gonna echo the people who are telling you to double up sports bras. Very supportive, nothing else works quite as great when you're bouncing around being active. Why buy expensive workout gear when you can just use two of what you likely already have?

Enell!! I have lululemon ta ta tamers also but like my enells better!! Expensive but worth every penny!

I wear a bra and a tight sports bra/tank over it.

^^^that's what I do to keep my girls secure!^^^^

I love Shock Absorber bras! I wear a 38H and was looking for a good supportive bra to wear for running & soccer & basketball. I read a review of these and heard about a sale, so I bought two models- 'The Ultimate Run Bra' and the 'Classic Support'.

I definitely prefer the fit of the 'Classic Support'- it has more coverage, three hooks to close the back (which are padded to prevent chafing) and has an internal cup system that gives you a little shape (ie.doesn't make you look like you have a uni-boob! ).

The Ultimate Run bra definitely compresses and reduces bounce, but it also flattens, so it is not the most flattering if you are chesty. It also has two closures- one at the middle of your back as you'd expect but also one between your shoulder blades. This adds support, and probably helps with bounce reduction, but I found the top clasp would sometimes pop open when I wore it for sports other than running- you twist a lot in basketball!

Definitely worth the cost though! I've worn and washed mine a lot since I bought them and they are holding up beautifully!

I am a 38 H and so there is no getting out of bouncing. They will always bounce. A good quality sports bra will minimize this and prevent jostling impact. I have an Enell in the largest size and it works really well for me http://www.titlenine.com/product/313801.do?sli=X-Small_Black_0&kwd=enell#.UE_u27JmQ7s

ETA when I say I will always bounce I mean the up and down movement any sticky outie flesh on your body will have. Definitely not out of control bouncing.

When I played rugby in college, I taped those puppies down. These days, I know what to look for in a sports bra.

This specific style of Moving Comfort bra was the best fitness related investment I ever made.

You have a lot of good options for bras, just a matter of googling around for good running bras for full-figured women. Shock Absorber is probably the best option in my opinion, and you can often find them at Victoria's Secret, but their bras are also very expensive. I wear a Moving Comfort Fiona bra and it's pretty good for controlling the ladies and much cheaper, although I find sometimes the straps are a little irritating. If you're only looking for a workout bra it's pretty good though.

In a pinch you can also layer sports bras one on top of the other for a compression effect, but that might constrict your breathing, so you may need to play around with that to see if it's comfy.
