Any Busty Ladies Out There?

Yes! I got the Moving Comfort Fiona bra and it's awesome! I'm a 36DD and I dance, zumba and do high impact aerobics. It's very comfortable too and doesn't give me a "uniboob".

Good luck with that! I am a 38DD and have been an athlete all my life...never found a really GREAT one. I would say to get ones that are mostly fabric, make sure it's a little snug (to hold everything down!), and you can always do the "run test" in the dressing room (jogging in place to see how well it works. My mother made me do this as a teen lol). If I'm doing something super high impact, I bite the bullet and wear more than one. Good luck, and remember, just because it's more expensive doesn't mean it's more comfortable or lasts longer! :flowerforyou:

Enell is the only sports bra that I will ever buy again. Hooks up the front, incredibly supportive too! Pricey, but I still have the first one I purchased 5 years ago!

Give me some

I am 36 F. Yup. I wear a properly fitted underwire bra. And on top of that I wear a sports bra that is a little too tight so they don't jump about so much. But if it is too tight it will rub and chafe. Shock absorber is good.

Moving comfort makes excellent sports bras for larger-busted women. I am a 36G and I use the Moving Comfort "Maia" Bra I think it is (their largest cup size is E but the 38E fits okay for me for hiking and stuff, and the 36E I wear for running). Keeps the girls well under control!

Edited to add: If you are at all small in the shoulders, "regular" sports bras even if they fit your bust will not be supportive enough because they will be too big in the straps. I found the same with the Enell bras, because I have small shoulders, they do not work for me.

Personally, I have never found a GOOD sports bra. I'm a 42 DDD, and for what I can find in my size, nothing ever does the trick. No matter what sports bra I've tried, I still bounce, a lot, and it's very painful. What you can do, is buy two really sturdy bras. One that's your size, and one that's a size smaller, which you put on top. Some people will use three. It'll limit the bouncing, but it's constricting and, well, it looks incredibly unattractive. I know working out isn't about how you look, but when I'm at the gym, I do care A LITTLE. So I wasn't happy with that. There is only one bra I've ever used that keeps me from bouncing. Ashley stewarts Butterfly bras. Specifically the full coverage butterfly bra. The plunge butterfly bra is actually good too, but during intense physical activity you will start to slip out, because it's not meant for that, it's meant for low cut blouses. These bras aren't technically geared for activity, and they have wires and double backs so it's not necessarily the most comfortable thing lol. But I promise, you WILL not bounce haha. I always wear my Ashley Stewarts bras, because my breasts are veryyyy sensitive and it really hurts if I bounce, even a small amount. So I alwayssss wear my Ashley Stewart butterfly bras. For workouts I use the full coverage, and for day to day wear, I use the plunge.

I am another one who has trouble even with the best sports bra. I am a 36GG.

So I wear a decent fitting sports bra and then put a 2 size too small swim suit over the top. Those puppys do not move with this combination - although I do get some strange looks in the changing rooms when peeling the sweat laden combo off. Oh and make sure you wear underwear under the swim suit too ( and yes that gets the looks too)

This is just a general query, but ...
are there any other rather top heavy girls out there?
i need help with getting a decent sports bra that will give me support whilst doing high impact exercise and running!
i'm not sure of what makes i should be looking out for?! HELP!

Decent sports brassieres for busty women ... You'll honestly need to commit the time to find ones that are of lycra [or any other fabric that has a bit of a give/stretch effect like spandex], are wireless, high impact, shock absorbing and have full coverage.

If you are certain that your bra sizing is accurate, you can call the store ahead of time, so they may assemble what they have in stock in your size, before you try them out, to save time.

* Replacement bras are to be ready in 3 months time, for with high impact activities [like running], our breasts need the casings to be sturdy-strong.

I'm a 36DD.

I am so glad this thread is out there. I have yet to venture outside the home for cardio for fear of the girls popping out for play time. It's time to stop making excuses and exercising like the Phantom of the Opera playing organ in the catacombs. :embarassed:

The Shock Absorbers and Enells look great online . . . hopefully someday I'll be below a 44G to be able to try them both. In the meantime, does anyone have thoughts on brands that extend beyond 40 or DDD?

Also, when y'all suggest a bra 1-2 sizes smaller, do you mean strap size (the number) or cup size (the letter)?

P.S. I am an inflexible American who is frightened and confused by UK bra sizes (and the metric system).

Just got Victoria's secret incredible sports bra and I love love love it! Before that I had a Moving Comfort.

^ This- I am a full 36D and this bra is amazing....no doubling up necessary and its cute, lots of fun colors

I recommend D+ Max Sports Bra from Bravissimo.com.

There is NO sports bra that will fit me. There actually isn't a bra that fits me! I had to go to Lady Grace and buy a bra and then they altered it for me. I got a 34G and had a small dart on either side and they also took for the back hooks and took the bra in 2 inches on either side. Yes bringing it to a 30G. My frame is so small but the girls just don't seem to want to lose any inches. I highly recommend going to Lady Grace. The sales people are wonderful and since they tell you that they can fit everyone, they didn't charge me for alterations. (Nordstrom's would charge) Good luck!

tried VS in summer with my ma and they didn't have my size (in normal bras, they had "alternatives" which have NO support...this is when you increase back and decrease cup size) I wanted to cry !
