Just ordered the new Victoria's Secret Incredible Sports Bra....LOVE IT!!! Finally something that holds the girls in place and doesn't give the notorious uniboob!!:laugh: Ordered in my normal bra size, was a little leery at first, the straps could be JUST A TAD tighter, but wore it to the gym anyway and it's a keeper! It's a max support bra, I'm not sure I've had ANY jiggle :laugh: Definitely ordering more on payday! I hate the price but it's worth it to wear one good bra instead of doubling up...haven't tried other pricey ones from the internet in case they didn't work and the company didn't take returns....VS, on the other hand, does let you return/exchange bras. Of course, if anyone has any other reccommendations and you can return the bra if it doesn't work, I'm open to trying it! Just wanted to share my opinion on this bra for anyone that has seen it and was curious about it!:drinker:

    If you don't mind me asking -- what cup size? I am a 36/34 DDD (F) and have never been able to find a sports bra that is remotely supportive.

    34J here, Freya is the only brand of sports bra that actually works for me.

    Always found it ironic that a product designed for support caters to the market segment with the least need for support.

    Glad you found something that works for you!

    Yes, I'm curious to, what size are you? I'm a 36 DD, but I can't even wear Victoria's Secret bras at all, because they run extremely small - or at least in my experience they do. I've been professionally measured so I know I'm the right size, but in VS, I'd probably need like 3 sizes bigger.

    I'm a 36D. At my heaviest was probably a 38DD but never bought the proper bras...so I'm not nearly the size some of you have mentioned, but in our market, once you get out of B's or C's, you can forget good sports bras for cheap lol, so I can sympathize!

    As for sizing, I take it with a grain of salt. I was sized at a C when I, as mentioned above, should have been wearin DD's. I laughed and said there's NO WAY my NIPPLE will even fit into that. The salesgirl got all huffy and offended lol. But then I've also been sized at a 34C (at my skinniest) and I still needed a 36 even though the cup fit. So, whenever I've been sized, I just use it as a base and go from there.

    I gotta agree with rebeccalbray, it's ironic that bras are marketed for smaller breasts and big boobs get granny bras with crap support. It's getting better though, I think. Frederick's of Hollywood sells cute and sexy bras with good support for a good range of sizes.

    In VS bras, I can only wear certain ones. My friend worked there a few years back and she brought one of each line in for me to try. It was exhausting to try on so many but we found the cotton tshirt bras fit me well.

    I'm in a G and have not found a good sports bra yet. I end up wearing a bra with a sport bra over it. Eh gads!!! I'll have to do some research on the Freya brand mentioned.

    Freya's are expensive but worth it (I'm in a 44G now but shrinking - but the smallest I've ever been as an adult was a 36-DD at 136lbs - so I don't anticipate shrinking below that. I hope!)

    I just finished reading some reviews on Amazon. The reviews are good. I think I will try one. Good bras are expensive. I don't anticipate too much shrinking( but one can hope) . I was dd and ddd depending on brand in the 120's :(

    I HATE bra shopping (36 DD) just as much as shopping for jeans 6" can never find pants long enough or bras that hold my girls nice and comfortable! :huh:

    Just bought two VS Incredible bras (34DD) last week and I love them! I recently moved to Newport Beach, CA (after 8 yrs in Charlotte, NC). Out here women's breasts look surreal when they're working out... now I know most of it is surgically enhanced, but the other part is that they don't wear regular 'ol sports bras. SO I went to VS to see what all the fuss was about. I'm sold. I talked to the salesgirl who told me the Incredible was the best bra for high-impact and a little push-up. It makes me look and *feel* 100x's better than my normal bras. I subscribe to the “When you feel like you look good workin’ out, your workout is that much better.” The price tag was a tough pill to swallow, but I definitely think it's worth the investment.

    Truth on Freya! I love it! At my largest I was a 36FF - now I'm a 30DD. VS doesn't carry an underbust size smaller than a 32 :/

    Whats wrong with shock absorber sports bra?
    I'm confused, why are ladies jumping with joy over a sports bra from a lingerie shop, surely its inferior against specialist brands.

    the best sports bra's I've found are the ones that button like a regular bra and have adjustable straps. I had 2 that were champion brand. I just bought a new one from academy that was under armor brand that is really nice also. not sure how big they go up to but they were both around 50 dollars.

    I'm a 36G and there is no Victoria Secret bra that fits me, I'm sure.

    I do love the Impact Free Sports Bra by Royce. I've had a couple of them and it is by far my favorite.

    Moving Comfort Fiona is the one that I buy. Very comfortable and holds in the girls quite well. I am a 36DDD so I know how hard it is to find that kind of support. I bought mine from Amazon.

    Damn. They don't run large enough for my torso (42-44). Has anyone tried any of the heavy-duty Title IX sports bras?
