    I bought sports bras and compression capris and shorts at walmart, I have 3 'sets' so I can get away with doing laundry every 3 days, though Im considering buying more of them. I dont care about the quality of workout clothes (just a lil A cup so a bra is more for modesty than support) I buy cheap so I dont feel bad if they deteriorate, after all who is upset when a $5 sports bra has to be thrown out?

    I am a BIG fan of yoga pants. I'm a guy so I don't wear them, of course, but I'm still a BIG fan.
    LOL

    Try Sierra Trading Post.com for Moving Comfort bras. They have them at cheap prices, but not all sizes/colors.

    Enell - all day long. There is not a better sports bra - period. They are expensive but mine has lasted a year.
    i have one that's lasted 2.5 years. the only reason i can't wear it anymore is because it's too big to wear even for low impact stuff.

    I have very large breasts, so I have to buy my sports bras at specialty lingerie stores or at Nordstrom. I usually get Freya or Panache Sports, and I love both brands. To me it it well worth the money to have good support and a well-shaped chest. :)
    Thanks for the information.

    Don't put the bras in the dryer. It's a pain in the neck, but they last much longer if you hang them to dry. Something about the elasticity.
    Agreed. I always hang-dry mine.

    Another laundry tip: don't use fabric softener on workout clothes. It coats the fibers and interferes with the wicking properties.

    Really?

    I always throw mine in the dryer and they last years. The elasticity is the same today as well I bought them. They are at least 4 years old. I got them at an UnderArmour and a Nike outlet here locally.l

    If you need an underwire, Moving Comfort is the way to go. Amazing bra....cheapest on Amazon. Otherwise about $50 but worth every penny if the girls are big.....

    Lucy has some great sales. I have some capris and yoga tops that I bought from them. I used them for 8 months going to yoga every other day. Everything has held up well and is nice quality. Now, their regular prices are expensive. I only shop the sales.

    lululemon all the way. Almost all of my running pants/tights are from there, along with a bra and a few tops. They are pricey, but worth it to me.

    In for what I'm hoping will turn into a very promising photo shoot.

    CREE. PEEE.

    Because you view a discussion among women about the technical merits of certain sports apparel brands as really nothing more than the titillating promise of images of women in bras to gratify you.

    Chauvinism, anyone?

    Sports bra of the brand Casall. Not cheap but very good support for high impact sports. Good to get in for bigger cupsizes. ( I have a C, had a D before)
    If you wash your bra so often, never use softener and only little mild detergent.

    OT: I just want to say that I love your avatar photo! So cute! Reminds me of my little sweetheart who is no longer with us. She liked going out in the snow, but not like that! Adorable.

    I love my yoga pants from Costco - they are similar to lululemon, but without the $100 price tag. As for sports bras - I have to get super expensive ones because of my size, but the $50'is totally worth it! I love my panache sports bras for super support

    Lululemon has good sports bras. The Tata tamer is my fav - very supportive. Although a bit expensive, they are worth it and really well made. I've had one for a few years now and it was about 50$. Its actually not very expensive compared to some other ones. Hope this helps!

    I agree! Costco has the best workout stuff for reasonable prices.

    I recently bought a couple of pair of Kirkland brand reversible yoga pants for $20 each and a 2-pack of champion brand sports bras for $25 from Costco. I don't think the sports bras are high support -- probably medium support -- but fine for the aerobics I do.

    I can't speak to longevity, but they seem like they are decent quality and definitely cheaper than Lucy and Lululemon. I do have Lululemon pants and tops. I think that Lululemon tops -- especially the ones with the super light material that can be worn to hot yoga are super top notch. They don't shrink in the wash, and I just toss it all in the regular warm wash.

    What I don't think holds up as well is Macy's ideology brand. I had a gift certificate and there was a sale. I don't think the $30 pants are as well made as the Kirkland pants.

    Costco for sports bras - comfortable, well-made, can't beat the price. (I also buy my regular bras there, too - the 2 pack of Maidenform t-shirt bras are simnple but attractive, comfortable and well-fitting. Do follow their advice on sizing.)

    Costco also for yoga pants - the only reason the pair I have are now pajamas for me is that I have lost 33#s. Long-lasting, have stood up to years of laundering.

    Victoria's Secret Classic Yoga Pant is now my fave - well made, can be worn for other occasions (add a kitten heel and silky T or Donna Karan classic cozy wrap, nice accessories, go out to an elegant dinner), fits like a glove, very comfortable. Gentle wash, hang dry for best results. Err on the side of ordering smaller rather than larger since eventually they'll stretch out a little as all sports pants do. NSV - I'm in a size small! Whoo hoo!

    I have tried a ton of different sports bras just because I figured they were all the same...Recently, I picked up the Tata Tamer from Lululemon because they had my actual size (32dd/30e) which I figured was something new and worth a try. Definitely glad I did. It is more expensive than my old Target or Nike bra, but the money went into quality, function and durability.

    I''m also loyal to the Lululemon crops. Again, expensive, and since I don't have the funds for 5 pairs for my 5 workout week, I do a lot of laundry ;)
