Sports bra woes

I love the support I get from sports bras, so much that I want to wear them 24/7. But I am not a fan of how they make my chest seem smaller! Is there such a thing as a decent sports bra that doesn't over-super-compress your boobs?

I'm not asking for boobage-enhancing bras... I just want something that doesn't make mine look *smaller*. :(

    If you find out please share because all of mine make me look like I have a speed bump, not boobs!

    I guess it depends how much support you are looking for. I love the VS Pink Yoga bras but I am not endowed up on top so I can wear them to work out and for every day. Super comfortable and they don't squash you like sports bras.

    Not exactly a sports bra, but have you tried t-shirt bras? They have more of a full coverage, but they don't squish you or form you in a uniboob. I have found great full-coverage bras at Gap Body before, and not too expensive, give them a try!

    Go to a 'good' bra store. Seriously the support from a proper bra is fantastic!

    Hmm, any examples of good bra stores? I've always bought mine (except sports bras) from department stores, so I'm not very savvy in this area!

    I LIVE is sports bras! Basically cuz they were the only bra I could wear all day, but now my job demands it! My BF would comment on certain bras that I wore, like if I had boobs or not! lol He always said I had them when I wore a certain style. I think they are Fruit of the Loom maybe, but they have gathering in the center, so they kinda seperate you. (love the "uniboob" comment!) They seem more comfy then the regular ones too...

    YES! I got some t-shirt bras from Costco, maidenform I think, they are AWESOME! I also love my Tek Gear and Champion C9 medium support sports bras...

    It depends on where you are! I swear by Intimacy. If you're near any of the cities where they're located, I can't recommend them enough.
