So, I have decided that I am going to start jogging everynight, but I have troubling doing so. My breasts get in the way. With all the running and the bouncing (sorry if there is a visual). I am wondering if anyone has any tips on getting more support. I have what seems like a good running bra, but it still isn't enough. Should I wear 2? Any help would be appreciated.

    One of my friends who had HUGE boobs (G's, and she only weighed about 160lbs at 5'8"), all natural, wore a real bra with a sports bra under it all the time.

    I have an incredible sports bra that I use, a champion one, but my boobs aren't as big... 40D pre-weight loss, 36D now. The bra kept them nice and strapped down.... but I don't run often.... but still, not tons of bounceage!

    I am in the same boat as you. I am doing Jillian Michael's 30 day Shred and all the jumping kills me because they aren't supported as good as they need to be. I feel like I have to spend over $150 for just a good one. My normal bras cost me over $60 each! Plus then to find my size SUCKS and is NEXT to Impossible! (I am a 42F!)

    You're gonna have to spend some cash, but the Champion sports bras work great. THe one I have must be ordered online, but it hooks, straps, snaps and velcroes... no bouncing. :)

    A guy replying to a sports bra question is weird. But twice in one day? Only on MFP :laugh:

    This thread came up earlier today.. there are some suggestions in there for various brands.

    I know how she feels. I was a 38 C in sixth grade and by the time I graduated I weighed 140lbs wearing a 38 DD bra. My gym teachers used to yell at me for not running or wearing a sports bar with a regular bar, but that's the only way I could run. Then next to all that, I have a knee injury and as of May 2011 i now have a ankle injury but it's not stopping me!

    Least you gals got bras, what the heck are us men supposed to do with our guts (besides work them off). Now that's a back pain nightmare.

    Do I really see a guy responding to this request? Hmm.

    Wear two - one for each (nah, I'm just kidding). Make sure they have as few seams as possible. It helps if the second bra is a bit bigger than the first bra (in size and in coverage). The sweating down the middle? Aaah, you just get used to that! Keep running! Don't let a little tiny bit of jiggle stop you...(it's better than a lot of jiggle all over!)

    Check out Moving Comfort bras. I wear the Maia and I love it. They are not cheap but way better than anything you will find at most stores. If you have an REI near you they usually carry a few styles.

    I hear ya!! I had the same problem, I used to wear a regular bra and a sports bra on top, but then I got the Under Armour compression sports bra and it is amazing. I actually went and got another one so there's always a clean one available! Good luck!

    I use Champion ($15 from Target) if I'm doing weights.

    But if I'm going to be doing any running, jumping, ellipticaling, etc I bought a Freya sportsbra. It was expensive. $60. But wow, does it ever work. All my bras are expensive because I'm a 32E so I was expecting it to cost a bunch. It is amazing. I run and jump and those girls dont even move!
