Aka, I have huge boobs. Even before I gained all my weight i had big boobs. When was at 115lb I had Ds to DDs. I'm 144 now and have DDs to DDDs. It makes it really hard to do any kind of exercise because they bounce so much. The sports bras that I get at walmart, k-mart etc. just aren't cutting it. Do you guys have any suggestions on what won't make my boobs bounce?

Thanks!

    You must be built like my daughter. Try two sports bras at once. You can also try two minimizer bras too. I have a friend whose daughter is tall, lean and large busted. she wears two sports bras and then binds them with an ace bandage if she is running. Good luck.

    My ex-girlfriend had the same problem. She couldn't find the right bra and just settled on wearing two at once. Try that out.

    I too am a size DD. I wear a champion high impact bra with a compression sports bra overtop and recently I just purchased an Enell Sports bra. Check out the website. They are expensive (I paid close to 100)..but you can get them on the website cheaper. They are soooo worth it! Not the prettiest but man do they keep the girls in place! :)

    I have to double-bag my girls as well.

    I would recommend two sports bras, as regular bras have more hooks, wires, etc. that can irritate the skin.

    I use a good, more costly sports bra (I like Marika) on the bottom, then use a Champion or Hanes bra over that.

    Yes on the two bras. I did that all the time, and it made running so much easier.

    Go to a specialist underwear store and invest in a high quality sports bra. I would recommend one with an option of crossing the back straps. It might take a while to work out how to get in and out of it, but I find this makes a huge difference. I have several bras like this and the cross over reduces bounce significantly. I just wear one at a time as I find that suffices (plus I'm not convinced of the comfort of wearing two!). If I want additional support I opt for a tight fitting singlet but I mostly don't feel I need this.

    Try a tank with a built-in shelf bra with a sports bra underneath.
    My tatas bouncing don't bug me unless I pay attention to it. Jumping jacks are strictly off limits though.
    Good luck.

    Although I used to be a DDD pre-weight loss I'm now down to a C *cry* and used to use duct tape to tape me down. Most people think I'm joking but I'd put on my regular bra. Duct tape, then put the sports bra over it. Did the trick.

    I have the same problem, I use a sports bra, then over that I wear one of those athletic shirts with a built in bra, then over that I wear a regular shirt. It works great.

    I was a DD. I hated it it, I had a terrible time exercising it hurt so bad. I finally went to a well known plastic surgeon in my town and had a consutation for a breast reduction. Insurance paid for it and I can't believe I waited so long to have it done. Recovery was a breeze, and I couldn't believe how much better I slept because I could BREATH. It was amazing. I wish I had done it 10 years ago. I never could find a bra that fit properly and that didn't dig into my shoulders. I am loving life. and button up shirts. Just an alternative to wearing two sport bras.

    I also have DDD. I wear a good supportive underwire bra that I wear everyday. Then I will put my sports bra on top. I HAVE to wear two bras, it's essential! The cheaper sports bras that I bought at walmart were not as good as the ones I got at target. Good luck! I know how hard it is.

    im in the same boat as you...even when i was skinny i had D's...i was up to a DDD but now am back down to a DD..

    i do what everyone else has said...wear two bras...it is the only thing that i have found works for me aside from getting a really expensive sports bra, which seems pointless since im going down in sizes...

    man i wish i had big boobs....

    Honestly, there not that great. I mean I DO like them. But it's better to be well proportioned. I'm a latina with a butt as flat as a wall...

    And I'm sure you can wear cuter clothes, run better, dance better, etc without giant boobs bouncing everywhere.

    On a related note... How much do you think these suckers weigh?
