Plus Size Exercise Shirts?

Okay, I am experiencing a bit of a time finding exercise tanks that go over the girls while not showing everything else in the process!

I'm 42C/18-20ish, but the stores around here only carry to XL (which looks more like a Medium).

Any suggestions on where I can find some?

    The REI site carries plus size workout clothing at fairly good prices. Nike plus size workout wear is available at Nordstroms (but they aren't giving that stuff away!). My fave place when I was larger and now is TJ Maxx.... They often have XL that fit 18's and sometimes larger for low prices. For really inexpensive stuff (but generally poor quality) try Woman Within. Finally, I found some,decent plus size workout stuff on Amazon. Good luck!

    Old Navy has some good options. I like their GoDry line as it wicks away moisture. They have tanks and tees in all different styles. In Canada, it is all 40% off right now :)

    I'm checking out Rei now! Didn't think about TJMaxx or Old Navy. I've been able to find pants, but have been ruining my t-shirts from my sweaty self.

    Thanks for the suggestions!!

    I really like Old Navy for workout clothes. The shirts are comfortable and fairly inexpensive. I also like their sports bras and yoga pants.

    Our local one doesn't carry a plus-size section. But I think I will try to order online and do it that way since everyone is recommending them! Thanks so much!

    I started wearing Under Armour tank tops and love them, but they do hug every square inch. I have a large bust and they work perfect for me, I also like that it wicks away the sweat and helps keep me cooler. I bought them at ****s sporting goods, but I'm sure they're sold elsewhere.

    Oh my, I didn't realize it would edit that word out....Must be considered dirty! I wasn't cussing or being gross.

    i always buy inexpensive cotton tank tops, and just throw them out when they get really gross (i add vinegar to the wash cycle so it helps avaoid smelly clothing).

    last time i find sleevless t shirts in the Men's dept at a JC Penney, they were bright cute colors and marked down to 5$ each. since i wear a sports bra under my shirt anyway, i don't mind that the bra shows a little bit on the sides. and since they're for men, the top part is roomy enough.

    I buy all my workout clothes at Target--I think I've seen the Champion wicking shirts in sizes up to XXL at least.

    I got all of my stuff online from Old Navy. They have compression pants, shorts and tops, plus lots of tees, and their sizes go up to a 4X.

    I just got some running leggings from Old Navy (40% off in the states, too), and they're soooo comfy. I don't have experience with their plus sizes, but I've gotten petite jeans from their online shop before - still not short enough for me, but oh well. :D

    HAHAH!! MFP is against the store. Just kidding, I knew what you meant. I'll look into them.

    Our local Target was the first place I checked. :( Yes, they have a XXL, but they fit tiny, not a true XXL. I can wear a XL in some exercise shorts.

    This is what I have been doing so far. I wear a lot of tank tops to bed and I've ruined almost all of them now. Great idea on the sleeveless Ts. :)
