Boob support for large breasted women who run

in Fitness and Exercise
Spring is here and I'm considering adding jogging to my exercise routine. The problem is that I am very large breasted and the girls just don't like to stay in place. Surely there must be other large breasted women who run/jog that have found ways to keep the breasts from giving them black eyes.

On a side note, I am not looking for volunteers to hold them down. :laugh: :tongue:

    Title Nine Sports has a huge selection of sports bras for the well-endowed. Changed my life.

    I just recently bought a sports bra - moving comfort maia with under-wire - I am an 36E so I too have issues finding support. I got mine from amazon.

    Some running stores also sell and fit sports bras.

    I was actually just talking about this before Zumba class the other night with some other girls. I feel your pain. I'm doing 30DS and the jumping jacks and jump rope portions are killing me. I feel like I have to hold them down just to be able to jump around. It's not working for me!

    I went into ****'s last weekend and tried on an Under Armor bra ($67!) for high intensity exercise but even that didn't work. I tried on a few other but either they were too tight and I couldn't get them on or they didn't provide enough stability. If I'm going to spend $60 on a sports bra, I better not be moving in it!

    Don't really have much advice but I appreciate you posting the question and will certainly be following the thread to see if others offer any useful tips.

    I run a lot and have varying degrees of jog bras. The ones that aren't as supportive, I augment with another bra. (I wish I could just go out and buy a bunch of them, but the good ones are really expensive. so I am slowly replacing the less supportive ones.)

    I find the double bra method works just fine. Good luck!

    This - the high level Shock Absorber works perfectly on my F cups.

    Not sure how large you are talking, but I am rather top heavy (36DD currently) and was able to fit into a Tata tamer bra from lululemon. I love it and feel it was worth the investment! I don't know how large they go though.

    Ah yes...I just wear an old bra with a sports bra over it or an old bra with a tank that has the "bra" built in. It seems to work pretty well. I still got that lil shake, but I'm ok with that. :blushing: good luck. I have been jogging and I use that term loosely...more jog than walk on most days and I LOVE IT!! :love:

    I don't run but I purchased a bra from Title Nine, Donna Karan. Trust me your ladies won't go ANYWHERE in that thing. I'm large breasted and it holds like nobody's business and is super comfortable.

    I bought a moving comfort Juno bra. I got it off of amazon because some of the colors are cheaper on there than other places. It works really well for my D's. I've been thrilled with it.

    Thirding the Shock Absorbers. I did jumping jacks in the dressing room, and my boobs didn't move at all. Running Couch to 5k has been absolutely fantastic with it.

    I also have the moving comfort Maia bra and it is an underwire and very supportive. You can find moving comfort by googling or looking on ebay I've noticed they are a lot cheaper (new of course)...

    Hind also makes a good one but it is harder to put on than the Moving Comfort Sports Bras. I also couldn't find them last time I looked to buy one, that is why I went with Moving Comfort.

    I bought a bra from Ardyss International. They sized me perfectly and the way the bra is designed your breasts won't move up and down at all. The bras run $50 last I checked and come in three different colors. They are regular bras however if you wear a sports bra over it you should have no problems. I noticed I can run longer doing this also cuz I dont have my breasts weighing me down.

    I'm a 32HH and totally understand where you're coming from! I live in the UK and got an amazing sports bra from Bravissimo - they were great help in trying to find one that straps you down. I'd suggest going to a store designed for bigger busts and just trying them all on until you find one that does the trick! Best of luck!

    I have the Fiona from Moving Comfort. I love it. I went into a local running store to try them and get my size then I bought it on amazon. I bought the out of season colors so they were only $21.

    What I do is wear a regular bra with a sports bra over it. But thats because I'm cheap.

    Me too, really is the best...I use cheap cotton underwired bra from M&S underneath and a shock absorber on top....my size is round about a 32 E and it keeps them well under control : )

    you are going to have to spend about $50-60 bucks on a good one. Running room has the best ones IMO. :) good luck!

    PS - I used to wear 2 sports bras...I will NEVER go back to those days!!!

    I recommend two. Maybe a supports bra and a tank with a built-in-bra over? Make sure to keep them adequately covered too with an appropriate shirt. I kid you not, yesterday morning at the park, a woman was flashing me with her every step. I almost wanted to stop her just to say something. She was totally clueless as to her boobs flopping out of her shirt. Pretty much my worst nightmare.
