Okay, I am not trying to be a perv or anything, but I am very large breasted and I need to know where I can find a good tight and inexpensive sports bra. I would love one that makes the girls completely immobile. I am living in U.S. if anyone knows of any stores in the states? Please help...

    I went to Walmart of all places, and found a danskin bra that I bought a size too small. It works wonders, and it was like ten bucks!

    I found a GREAT one at TJ Maxx a few days ago... it was 16.99.

    I love that store!

    I don't actually have that issue :frown: But my one friend who is in the same situation, she said she dbls them up sometimes, wears a size smaller for the under one. Just make sure its not painful. Good luck:flowerforyou: 11209539.png

    TJ Maxx and Marshalls have name brand bras that work well.

    Best trick: Double bag. Buy two cheap-o bras that are maybe a size too small. Your girls won't go anywhere.

    Ya, those stores don't even carry my size in regular bras. I was hoping someone would know where I can go for bigger bra sizes. :(

    Have you tried Lane Bryant's Cacique (their underwear store) or Torrid? I'm not sure if either carry sports wear but they have larger bra sizes.

    I know Torrid doesn't sell sports bras, I would have totally bought one from there by now if they did!

    What about Moving Comfort? They aren't that cheap but they last forever and they're available up through E cups... I'm a D and I bought a Fiona style, totally worth every penny. And you can find them for cheaper than their site on ebay and amazon, which is nice.

    www.bravissimo.com has bras from curvy to really super curvy. There UK but can **** to America.
  • I am a marathon runner and I wear only Lululemon sports bras. Occasionally you can find them on sale half price for $30. I stock up. They are worth every penny. My favorite style is Tata tamer.
  • Im a 36DD and my favorite sports bra is Champion, the kind with the cami straps. It may sound ridiculous to have cami straps on large breasts, but the front of the bra covers up more and since the straps are thinner they don't hurt my shoulders after holding the weight. I run in them and am comfortable enough to not even think about my boobs while running (I'd say thats a good sign!).

    I am so glad i am not the only one with this issue. I wear a minimize bra under my sports bra. My ladies are shrinking so I think at goal weight it won't be such an issue

    BERLEI make really good sports bras but they're an Aussie brand. I'm pretty sure you'll be able to find 'em over there. As for the posts for getting smaller sized bras - ladies that's a MASSIVE NO-NO! Not only is it not flattering, it can be uncomfortable and damaging to the lift and shape of your breasts! Here's a link to just one article on wearing ill-fitting bras

    Unfortunately, bras are expensive and there will be cheaper ones that do just as good a job as the expensive ones but if you are having trouble finding cheap ones in your size then you will have to buy a pricier one. Rather than buy 2 or 3 though, buy 1 to start off with and save for the next one. You are going to be losing weight anyway and you don't want to be buying more than what you need. Maintaining your health will be expensive at times but it's the price we pay in order to enjoy the benefits of a good life.
    GOOD LUCK!

    There's a very fit woman that jogs through my neighborhood. She needs a better sports bra. They swing so much I think they might strangle her one day.

    Walmart has some larger sports bras in the Danskin brand. They had at least 2x, maybe higher. I bought a size down in a "high-impact" version. It has been the best investment yet.

    I think it is important for large-breasted women to buy a size down in a sports bra to get the immobility they are looking for. I bought "my size" in a couple of sports bras, and they just did not support me. They fit...but no support. Keep that in mind if you have to purchase online rather than from a store.

    If Walmart absolutely will not work... Have you checked the Avenue?

    I'm a DDD or E for this company. I HAD this same problem. I just had to come off the money one day. I ordered one offline. It's a "Moving Comfort". I LOVE it. Here it is...

    Most of that article is against bras as a whole. I bought several sports bras in "my size" that were not supportive, would that not be considered an "ill-fitting bra"? If I need these babies to be immobile, wearing a sports bra a size down is the only option...

    LOL! Every time I buy a sports bra I'm going to think of this.

    The brand "ENELL" is what's used on Biggest Loser and by Oprah. A friend of mine just bought one and LOVES it! They're about $65, but a good sports bra is well worth the investment!

    I got mine from Roadrunner sports.com. It's an extra supportive bra that's actually rather hard to get into, but once you do, it's great. I have D size bewbs and this thing seems to tame them.

    If you're running then I've found the Shock Absorber Run bra to be really good, though they're a bit tight on the band size. You can get them on eBay at reasonable prices, I've bought 2 and they're really good. :smile:

    Freshpair,.com and Herroom.com and Figleaves.com have sports bras for the "entire alphabet" of cup sizes.

    I am a "J" cup in a regular bra(I use a Goddess for that).

    My Sports Bra is a Royce High Impact~ around $50.

    I'm liking the "double bra" suggestions since, as I'm losing, even my Royces aren't holding the now-smaller girls in place.
