Where do you get your sports bra?

Happy New Year everyone!

So, I'm in desperate need of a new sports bra, but I'm not sure where to get one. I think the one I have now I got from Sears, but I never really liked it very much. I'm not an overly-endowed girl, but I'm not small either. Price isn't an issue so long as it's worth it.

Thank you in advance! :flowerforyou:

    I prefer the compression-type bras for better support when I run. I get mine at Target - they have several varieties and they are reasonably priced around 12-15 bucks, but run sales often. Most places will have gear on sale with the start of the new year.

    Old Navy is surprisingly good with workout gear - I have several of their sports bras, and while they have great prices (on sale for $8 sometimes), they are not my favorites, but might work for you.

    Also check TJ Maxx, Marshall's and places like that - big name brands for a whole lot less than retail.

    I really like the ones at Road Runner Sports - I'm a38C and they're great for high impact. :)

    My best ones I own have been from kohls and marshalls. The target bras never seemed supportive enough to me.

    I like the ones from lululemon. Someone at the Changes bra store (they sell a smaller range of band sizes, going down to a 28 band) recommended it. But, then someone else recommended Target, so I may try that next time. The Under Armour ones look good also (I think I saw those at Sport Check).

    People with large breasts need more support. People with smaller, perkier breasts don't want too much support.

    Target and Old Navy, but I have small breasts. I like the ones with adjustable straps.

    I bought my Under Armour bra at a local sporting good store. It's the compression type and was worth every single cent, they're around 65.00 but will last for a long time. You can find them wherever Under Armour is sold.

    They have wonderful bras. They are ranked by barbells. Five barbells support even a DD in high impact activities.

    I got a champion sports bra from Target :) just clingy enough, cutest patterns ever, and it was only $15 :) I only had a C cup when I got it, now I'm pretty sure I'm gonna end up with a flat out B when I reach my goal, so I'm guessing anyone who goes over like DD might want something with more support...

    I need some new ones, too. I can never find ones that I love. I feel like there is never enough support...esp if I want to start running. I look at Marshalls, Target, ****'s Sporting Goods, Modell's. I bought a few from Old Navy...but I don't think they have very good support, so I only wear them for non impact activities. I really hate spending money on clothing that is going to eventually get stinky and have to be thrown out. :\

    The one I got at Old Navy started to stretch out after a few months. I haven't made a purchase yet but I did scope out the ones at Victoria's Secret and they are surpisingly good quality. Pricey, but seem good fit. Worried about longevity after the Old Navy one though. I've never had a sports bra that lasted more than a few months.

    My favorite is this one from Kohls: http://www.kohls.com/product/prd-147215/champion-sports-bra-double-dry-distance-6209.jsp

    I am a D cup and need lots of support and stability for running.

    I am busty... so I have an Enell bra that I wear for high impact exercise. For other stuff (like water boot camp, swimming in general, elliptical, lifting) I wear compression sports bras from Target. They do the job pretty well for about $12-15.

    The Juno and the Maia both are made by Moving comfort.
    If you're running and have larger breast these bra's really hold them in place.

    I used to be a big fan of buying the cheap bras at target and just putting two or three of them on. Recently though I bought a high impact sports bra from victorias secret and now I wear it everyday to run in and lift. I LOVE it and I don't have to put two or three of those ten dollar bras on. I wear an A cup but I can tell when my breasts aren't supported. The high impact VS bra makes me feel like I don't even have breasts and the bra looks pretty sexy too. I hope you find something that works for you!

    Target but I can fit in a training bra... so I don't really need any support.

    I like the Underarmour ones. They have both compression and snap up ones, but they hold and support any size through any intensity.

    I'm a 34DD and in desperate need of support. I find that I have to double my bra's to feel secure enough when working out so I wear a regular underwire bra under my sports bra. I've gotten them from old navy, Walmart, Burlington and under armour yet I still haven't found a proper fitting one. Great topic OP.

    Surprisingly enough victoria secret has a line of awesome compression bras with underwire. They are as good if not better than underarmour ones for support and all sportsbras were on sale for $25 last week. The line is called vs or vsx
