questions for the ladies again...regarding workout apparel

Uggh, I feel your pain! :explode: I have yet to find that supportive piece of fabric that corrects this. I have purchased many that promise it but with no such luck. Good Luck and if you find that miracle of a sports bra, let me know!

I don't know, maybe my boobs have shrunk or something but I have this sports bra- it was 9.99 at walmart, it's very basic and everything, nothing fancy, and I find it completely does the job. I like to cycle and jog and I don't notice any jiggling or bouncing at all. I think you should go to a sports store and talk to a salesgirl about what you're looking for. Look for one who's well-endowed. I used to work in retail and had large-chested ladies ask me for advice ALL THE TIME about which bra to wear with what etc. SO yes, I would just ask, and don't be embarrassed. Also, ask about their return policy because if it's not doing its job you should be able to return it. good luck! :flowerforyou:

okay really just sports bra's but I didn't want to make that the topic LMBO

what kind of sports bra do you women who are um well endowed use for the best support...I'm having a hard time finding one to really do the job while I run....not fun!

hugs!

I know how frustrating it can be. I was tired of wearing two sports bra at a time. I'm glad I invested.

I feel your pain (hey - kinda literally!)...

I wear a cupped sports bra that fits well - almost tightly (e.g. 34DD) and then I wear a half top/sports bra (the kind that doesn't have molded or seperated cups) ontop as well - in again a very firm fit (e.g. size Small or X-small). The second bra is the kind of flattening - uniboob type bra, but I personally find this to be the only way to do it without bounce. "The girls" wont look good while you exercise (think pancake) but I believe that compression really is the only way to reduce jiggle - in my experience! This method even worked for running while I was nursing my baby (that was fright night time - 36F).

I used to be a manager of a lingerie store, and most people have a band that it too large - make sure that you are giving yourself enough room in the cup, while your band fits firmly against your ribcage, without any space between the band and your ribcage right under your breasts. Most women I encountered needed to go up a size or two in the cup, and down a size or two in the band.

I once read that any time you are bouncing you are tearing the connective breast tisues, and you can never repair that = saggy boobs.

Good luck! You might need a specialty shop!

I found an article that might give some idears..

Finding the right sports bra is like finding the right pair of jeans...impossible! I've been exercising for a long time and I've found that there are certain bras that work better than others. Check out my top picks for sports bras for everything from running to yoga and for women who are extra curvy to those who, um, aren't.

1. Hind Womens Motion Sensor Bra
This sports bra is great for curvy women looking for support without the feeling of being tied up in a straightjacket. The criss-cross straps provide comfortable support and the fabric is breathable so sweat is wicked away from your body. You'll also find you have great support for high impact exercises if you're a B or C cup and the hook-and-eye clasp makes this one easy to get on and off.
2. Nike Zip Front Sports Bra
This is another high-quality sports bra that will fit a variety of women, depending on what kind of support you want. Small-chested women will get high-impact support, while fuller-figured women will find this bra is perfect for lower-impact exercise. Either way, the zip-front is a favorite of mine because you can take it off without have to contort yourself.
3. Moving Comfort Womens Grace Bra
This lovely bra is not only perfect for small-breasted women, it's also the first sports bra designed for women who've had breast cancer. It's soft, comfy and lightweight and it also has a zip-front which makes it easy to take off. The CoolMax lining doubles as pocket for a prosthesis, but any woman would find the Grace Bra comfortable and supportive. This is probably my favorite sports bra.
4. Speedo Underwire Sports Bra
A reader emailed me recently and told me I HAD to recommend this bra to women who may need a little extra support, but don't want to feel like they're in a straight jacket. As she said, "I wear a 34DD and have had 2 kids...I wear it all the time...It was comfy enough to even wear when pregnant."
Vendor's Site5. Champion Friction Free Sports Bra
I like Champion sports bras more for lower impact activities and this is one of my favorites because it's seamless and, therefore, there's no chafing. It's a little tougher to get on an off, especially after you've been sweating, but you'll find it a comfortable choice for things like walking, yoga or lifting weights.
6. Adidas Women's Response Bra
I've had this bra for going on four years and I still love it, although I'm not as crazy about it for high impact exercise like running or jump roping. It's supportive, it doesn't chafe and it's flattering, making it a favorite of mine, but probably best for small to medium-chested women.
7. Champion Shape Sports Bras
Another company I've come to love is Champion, especially their Shape bras, which are sized just like bras so you get the perfect fit. These bras come in a variety of types for every activity and every size. The Shape Scoop bra is great for medium-high impact activities while the Jogbra Action-Shape is perfect for curvy women who want to do high impact exercise. Champion really caters to women and they seem to get better and better.
8. Champion Double Dry Seamless Long Tank Top
If you want full coverage and good support for medium-impact activities, the Champion long tank is a good choice. It has a built-in bra which, normally, makes it difficult to get these things on and off. But, that's what makes the Champion a good choice - the fabric is soft and stretchy, so it's easily removed, but it still offers great support.
9. Danskin Tank Top
This is another great top for yoga, Pilates or other low-impact activities. It's comfortable, flattering and the inner bra provides support without restriction.
10. Nike Tank
This is another favorite of mine, a long tank that gives great coverage and support, wicks away sweat and looks great all at the same time. I also love the color.

When I was in my teens/early 20's I could wear an unsupportive bra, and my firmness kept everyting in place! (I was a 32D). Now, after breastfeeding two kids, and gaining weight, I need SUPER support! Things are, how do I say, less voluminous and firm!?!?

Ladies, PLEASE buy an ENELL bra. You can get it at titlenine.com

It changed my life.

It's kinda expensive, and so hideously ugly you would never let your husband, boyfriend, or anyone you would ever hope to want to have sex with you ever again see you in it, but it does the job.

It's the bra that Oprah wore when she ran her marathon. Your girls will not move an INCH, I promise. One time I saw some footage of women running that had been slowed down and it showed how much everything bounces (including skin on your face, etc) and it freaked me out!!!! Now I will NOT work out for any amount of time without this bra.

You have to lie on your back to put it on, and just sort of keep hooking up the clasps and tucking in your boobs at the same time.

Wow, sounds like a workout just to put the darn thing on.
