Basically I am at a lost as to one kind of bra to wear when working out. I've worn sports bras, regular bras, and they call leave me with marks on my back, and sometimes the front. My back is practically black and red. And yes I am wearing the right size, which is one of the reasons I am so baffled as to what to do.

    Honestly, it depends on the brand and style. I always try on bras before I buy them because two bras from the exact same brand can be a different style, and therefore, a different size. It is SO annoying. I feel your pain.

    I went to Marks & Spencer's, I picked up about 8 different ones, went to the changing rooms and tried them all on. The one I bought was the one that passed the "jump-up-and-down-like-a-mad-thing" test! But it's also got 2-inch wide padded straps and doesn't appear to mark at all. I'd say big fat straps is the way forward...

    hope that helps!

    If the marks are caused by rubbing, try body glide.

    Honestly, I dont think there is a way around it. I'm a D cup. I have 1 sprots bra the kinda works better than the others. I think the trick is finding a brand that works for you. I saw these ones on Oprah that are supposed to be awesome though :)

    After trying so many that I can't even count different spots bras, I found the perfect one. It from Moving Comfort and the model is Fiona. It has all the comforts:
    Wicking DriLayer keeps you dry and comfortable
    C, D and DD cup for high-impact activities
    Triple-hook adjustable back closure
    Velcro straps for easy adjusting

    I wear a 36D and my boobies are pretty compress, don't wiggle, but don't hurt. It is about $44 full price. So, I went to the running store, found the perfect size and bought a bunch online for a fraction of the price. On amazon for example, they have the weird colors for $20 or so. Not bad.

    Too bad that I'm planning on losing weight and they won't fit any longer soon. :)
