For the larger busted woman what sports bra works best? I got a dance skin that I'm not happy with at all. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm D size and sick of the pain especially when I jump! Tell me what to do please!

Thank you,
Jo

    I bought one at Lane Bryant. I'm a 38DDD. Good support, even doing a downward facing dog.

    I love my lululemon bra. I think it's the tata tamer. lol. I'm a c-d depending on the brand. I swear they keep messing around with sizes in all clothes just to mess with your mind. Anyway, mine are heavy/dense and I run in this bra with very little movement.

    i have the tata tamer as well and i love it.. super supportive but i think it only goes up to a 38D

    the shock absorber is excellent. it doesnt look like it would do much ( the cups are soft and unlined) so i was hesitant to buy it at first but its sooo good! it was about 55$ and worth every penny. its more comfortable than the tata tamer i find but not nearly as cute ahaha

    Check Title Nine Sports www.titlenine.com. They have a wide variety with descriptions of them all. Sometimes they mention the brand, but unfortunately most of the time they don't. You'll find them much more reasonably priced somewhere else, but it is a good place to start to view a bunch at once.. My favorite is made by Moving Comfort.

    Enell. I got mine at Fleet Feet but you can buy them online.

    Its amazing! I needed a good strong sports bra because I was running and nursing! I was a 42F at the time!

    I love my Enell! Sort of pricey, I think I paid 64 bucks .. but I was wearing 2 Target bras at once which totaled 60 bucks anyway!

    Hi, 36D here. I highly recommend checking out the bras at Title Nine (www.titlenine.com). Not only do they sell bras using regular bra sizes, each bra also has a barbell rating. I typically get the 4-barbell bras (my workouts seem to involve a lot of running and jumping) --- my favorites are the 3-Reasons Bra and the 7 Wonders Bra. They're worth every penny!

    I say...anything that has a wide elastic band and that is long...longer than most. I just got one from Hanes that has a zipper up the front and those suckers don't go anywhere! I do a LOT of horseback riding and I need full support. You can go to some horse websites and get some riding bras...they are meant for high impact and they are expensive but last a LONG time!

    Mine is by Panache (Idk if they're in the US?), they specialise in larger cup sizes so the band is nice and wide at the back and the straps are comfy. I wear a 32G and it holds them in place really well even when I'm doing jumping jacks and running etc

    38DD here. I found a pretty nice one at target that works well for me, and not too pricey.

    I really like the Under Armour one that comes in Cup and Band sizes. If I am doing something really high impact I usually "double bag" them with just a pullover sports bra underneath.

    Really? I wanted to love my Panache but always end up going back to my Champion PowerBack whenever I'm doing something high impact. I'm 32DD. The Champion PowerBack works great, it's just a pain pulling on/off over your head. I also feel like the straps come in too close on my shoulders. The Panache is easier to wear, and more comfy, but just doesn't hold 'em in place the same. I'm still searching for that perfect bra!

    Thank you everyone! I do appreciate the advice. I'm in a rural area, but might take the drive to a near by city to look. I wrote those names brands down. I don't want to spend lots of money on one bra, but it's better than hurting & cheaper than a chiropractor.

    I've done that, it's hot & have me heat rash. :-( :sad: wub

    I struggle to find anything in a 38-40D or DD depending on who made it.... I couldn't find anything in DDD.

    UGH... Downward dog, ya... Can't breath really need support or pass out from lack of oxygen? Lol

    That's why plus size stores are good for finding bras for bustier women. Mine has underwire and clasps in the back. I know there's even a specialty store a few miles from me (I live in a big city) that specializes in large bras.

    I am regularly a 40DDD and I wear 40DD Glamorize No-Bounce Camisole Bra. Just bought one from Amazon for $20-25.

    Everything stays where it is supposed to stay and no wire to boot. Wires are part of the rest of my day but when I am working out and contorting my body, I dont want a wire. The camisole mesh material over the cleavage is great as even my cleavage stays put and covered while doing burpees, mountain climbers and the like.

    I giggle at the shelf style sports bras as there is no way my breats will fit and/or stay when working out. But I suffered through for years by doubling up. Since buying these, I have had no issues and its comfy to boot.

    I bought a 'Moving Comfort' sports bra at a runner's shop...I am very happy with it....my boot camp trainer mentioned his ex girlfriend being a DD cup and having problems with jumping and running so she doubled bra'd herself...lol...His words were 'She'd trampoline herself into her smaller exercise bra'...lol...

    I tried it and it worked fantasticly well...I bought some cheap jobbies from Walmart...like 3 for $15...one size smaller...They are Fruit of the Loom...

    I am now able to do Jumping Jacks and other jumping exercises, comfortably....Worth a try I think!

    Good luck!
