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. :)

    You could always try wearing 2 sports bras instead of 1.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!
