Running/jogging with big bust

I usually wear at least 2 sports bras... I'm about the same bra size as you...

I'm same here.....so I'm watching this thread for suggestions. I currently wear 2 bras at a time....and it helps but not near what I would like.

I used to be in your shoes. I know this is not an option for most people but I had a reduction. My bilateral breast reduction was the best hting that ever happened. I used to have to wear 2 sports bras and even still I was emabarresed to run in front of ppl... Just get some really good sports bras that are NOT the kind you pull over your head. Get the ones with the clasps in the back and go a size smaller than what you wear in a regular bra. I still wear these bc they are so awesome!

Oh man I know. I have a really large chest and they do not seem to be getting smaller with my weightloss. Since I started exercising a lot more I have been focusing on good posture. I did not realize how much my chest interfered with my posture and now that I am 44 pounds down I can eally feel it taking a toll on my back. I will probably eventually get a breast reduction, my hubby won't like it, but large breast are really difficult to exercise with. I totally feel your pain. I never thought about two bras. maybe i'll try that and look in to that zipper bra. Good luck everyone!:drinker:

I usually wear two bras as well - one with a clasp in the back and then a pull over the head one on top of it, I also buy mine a size smaller than I usually wear - the thicker and tighter the elastic the better - hope this helps- it can be frustrating when our bodies work against us!! It also helps me when I wear (over my two bras) tanks/tops with built in bras or are super spandexy and tight - might not be the best figure flattering work out wear, but I'll wear whatever helps keep the girls in place!! Good Luck!

LOL talk about a quick response!!!! Thanks so much Paula for the review!! I think I am going to give it a try! Quick question...did you buy them in the store? I guess what I really am trying to ask is how their sizing works. I looked at it and am a little confused! Unfortunately I no longer live in or near a really big city so I don't have access to stores that cary Enell (sigh...I used to live 10 minutes away from the Mall of America...sigh). When you saw their sizing system, did you find that you went with the size they suggested?

LOL that was like 10 questions in one!!! I am thinking of ordering tomorrow, but I am going home to the great state of MN in a month to see my family, so maybe I will wait to go to MOA so that I can try them on....hmmmmmm.....

I second the Enell suggestion. All I wear jogging. I am a 34G

Yeah, I have the same problem. Unless I manage to reach my goal weight I will have to wear 2 bras- a regular one and a sports bra or 2 snug sports bras.

However, I am on the enell website now and this bra looks very well made. It actually looks like the perfect bra and it is reasonably priced. I want one regardless of what size I am.

@OpenHeaven I was able to buy the Enell bra at a store and ended up getting a size 2 even though I think the 38 band is a size 3. I felt no bounce in the size 2 so I bought it also because I knew it was to help me lose weight and didn't want to have a size 3 become to big. Technically they aren't made for a GG cup either but it is sized by band and I can get my breasts in them alright. At first it can be a challenge to put on (kind of like putting biscuits back in the can). HAHA Overtime and with practice it gets easier. I always wash mine in cold water and hang dry. It is best for the bra if you wash it while it is still damp from sweat before it has a chance to dry in the fabric. I still feel like the two I've had over a year are like new but want to get a third so I'll always have one ready to use. If I could change one thing about the bra, it would be to not have the last hook on the bottom or some other piece of fabric to keep the hook from touching the skin. During a workout, I have felt the bottom hook flipping under the band and rubbing the skin. I have made adjustments and it seems to happen less often now that I am aware of it.

I spent $49 on my first one but by the time I went to get a second one 6 months later the price was $59. I like getting them in different colors so I can tell which is which and know which one is older, etc. My triathlon mentor has suggested that you can easily dye the white one with fabric dye as well to any color you desire. :-)

I am a FIRM believer in Enell bras! I have bought every colar but purple! They are great for ANY activity that makes you bounce! What size did you need? My local sports store where I worked for 13 yrs carries them thanks to me and I could check it out for ya! I swear they are the best, very confining and they do not look like a uniboob either!

I was going to post this very topic today. I'm a 44 or 46DD depending on the maker. I have bought a few champion bras, but they are SOOO tight. I"m getting discouraged ordering and shipping them out. Very frustrating that "sports" stores nearby don't carry any bigger sizes.

Going to check out the suggestions here. Thanks for the info!

I definitely feel your pain.....try being a 42F, that is what I am!!! I ran my second race ever this past weekend and tried the 2 sports bra thing and it def did not work for me except to hurt my neck! It was so bad that my parents as spectators said It looked very painful and that if I was 2 find the right bra they would buy me a couple because it is that important. That is why I am here, I too need suggestions on where to even find a sports bra made for ppl that back AND have it be supportive enough that I don't flap in the breeze when I run.

wish I had more answers for you but I do understand and if I come ac cross anything I will let you know.

I have the same problem and just saw that Fitness magazines newest issue has an article on the best sports bras. Some I have never heard of and a lot are reasonable prices. They highlight all types of sizes and needs. Worth checking out to maybe check out some different brands

I feel you pain!:( My boobs were the first thing to go so I can't commiserate now but could before. When my bust was at it's biggest I wore 2 bras (as many have mentioned)....when I lost some weight I was able to by a decent high impact sports bra (pricey but worth it!). Good luck!
