Bras for bustier ladies

You can try the company/site Woman Within. They may not have a huge selection but they have some... they even have a special going on at the moment if you spend $25 on their 'Full Beauty' fitness line you get a free gym bag.

Go to a running store. They have a good selection. I'm a dd and was surprised by the options they had. Both comfort and coverage. So much of the crap I tried at sports authority and the like left my boobs half out and not secure. A good sports bra isn't cheap but if you hand wash and only need to use one per workout, versus the two you use now, it's a good investment. Good luck!

Not sure if they do them in the US but I use Shock Absorber sports bras. I'm a DD, I go spinning, running, weight lifting etc, and my boobs literally don't move an inch when wearing one, those babies are totally strapped down! Have a look to see if you can get them where you are, I usually don't recommend stuff but these bras really are great, been wearing them for years!

I'd check the Woman Within. I'm a 42F and really like anything labelled "medium" or "high" impact. If I wear anything else to do pretty much anything (yard work, walking...) it kills my back.

Shock absorber for dd plus is fantastic. I wear a 32f. As long as you get one tight enough around the ribs it's brilliant. I can jump all over the place without giving myself a black eye.

I really feel like MFP needs to stickie a topic about sports bras for big boobs (I know I've responded to like 4 in the past week).

- Shock Absorber
- Glamorise
- Panache
- Moving Comfort

All available on Amazon at a lower price than in the store, and will support you a hell of a lot more than anything form Target ever would.

Elomi Brand - Found at Nordstrom is probably one of the best sports/exercise bras I have found over the years. Top notch quality - underwire and built to keep the breasts separate (minimizing boob sweat/rub) and amazing support. Just took their new one out for spin last night with my trainer. All sorts of jumping, climbing and hopping around and I actually forgot it was on. I'm a 40H and was an Intimates Sales Manager at Macy's for years back in the day... so I've tried them all.

The other place to hunt for a total NO MOVEMENT bra is in the horseback riding world. Nothing can ruin a good ride like boob jiggle. This one could stop anything - http://www.equestriancollections.com/product.asp?groupcode=EN00004 However, it may not work with your healing scar... it comes up pretty tall in the back. Helps posture, has very nice wide straps and keeps "the girls" completely contained. No spilling out the sides or top.

Not sure how you feel about Lululemon, but I run in their Ta Ta Tamer bra. Love that it doesn't have stretchy parts so you can cinch it down and stop bouncing. I think I've had it for 3 years at this point and it's still holding up well (as opposed to more traditional sports bras I had where stretchy parts wore out).

Me too. I love my ta ta tamers. I've also recently discovered the All-Sport from LuLu which I also like, but the TaTaTamer is better at keeping the dreaded uni-boob at bay.

I have been looking for awhile now but I don't have the "top boob" part so much Nothing is fitting me. I'm anti lulu because they refuse to make anything larger than a 12 (before they did a 14 but not anymore as far as I know) because of their brand appearance (on thinner people)...groan.

Thanks for posting the thread because I can't get enough tips for finding sports bras. I also heard you measure above the boobs for band size sometimes. I always thought it was under boobs. So confused, haha.

depends on what you are measuring

I second Moving Comfort. The Maia bra in particular is fantastic. I'm a runner and I swear by it.

Enell. They are spending but great. Can sometimes find them on sale at DiscountBras.com with unnoticeable defects. They have nontraditional sizing so you need to know that first.

I've bought from Allure & things worked out very well. They do fittings, if you can get to their store.
(And once you know your size, look on ebay.)

They have bras for everyday wear, and for sports, and advertise "32A to 48K".

For brands, I've liked Elomi (which Allure sells), but people are shaped differently.
They also make swimsuits, with the same quality, supportive construction used in their regular underwear!!

Get fitted.
I was a smaller band & much larger cup than I'd ever thought. Once I was wearing a bra that actually fit,
I almost didn't want to take it off... and that's saying a LOT.

I wear a 32G in regular bras but a 34F in this sport bra. The twins don't move and it's low enough in the front that I don't think it would mess with your scar if that's an issue. Yes they are in England BUT they have AMAZING customer service and will extend return times and such for their overseas customers. I have ONLY bought from them for the last few years for both sport and everyday bras. I have this in two different colors.

HerRoom.com or BareNecessities. They have lots of options in all sizes and even in fun colors!

I currently love this Freya one (38DD): http://www.herroom.com/freya-aa4892-active-underwire-molded-spacer-sports-bra.shtml
It is great for exercise. There is a clip in the back to convert to a cross-strap back bra. I use that for running and high impact activities. Otherwise, I just use the regular straps. Comfy, colorful, and two boobs!
