ok so i am having a SERIOUS issue finding the right sports bra for when im working out. i have lost my chest size since i have started. went from a 42 dd to a 38 SMALL c. its really hard to find a sports bra that holds me right! they are either so tight that they cut off my circulation, or they are too big and i just flop everywhere. anybody got any good suggestions???

    So far, under armour has been my best bet. I'm all for investing in a decent bra. I went form a 36DD to 32d

    I'm a 38C and I like the one i have from Old Navy. It's tight where it should be but it doesn't cut off circulation. It has removable foam cups, I like them in because it gives a firmer hold. It's nice and thick so it gives a lot of support. And it was only about $15.

    I have almost the same problem, only that I am much smaller and either can't find cups small enough, or it's much too tight around my ribs I can't breathe LOL. My favorites I have found have been frome Aerie, they have adjustable clasps, and they are more affordable than the others too

    i just bought one of those, but the store i was in had regular sizes like small medium large or xl. i wear an xl shirt, so i figured an xl was my best bet... nope!!! i cant BREATH in it! and it KILLS my shoulders! i have no luck at all with sports bras. :(

    I just double-up. I've gone from a 44F to a 36J, and since you can't really find bras in a 36J, I just alter my existing bras to semi-sort of fit and then add a tight sports bra on top of my normal bra when I exercise. Doesn't eliminate the bouncing, but it makes a huge difference.

    Have you tried Lane Bryant sports bras? They tend to cater to the larger breasted girls. My mom is big chested and loves their bras. I am medium chested but have a large rib cage. I've had good luck with Target.

    38F here and I've been doing that as long as I can remember!! I have a pretty awesome Under Armor bra, but if I'm doing plyo or a long run... Doubling up time!!!
