    I love Old Navy and Target for my sports bras.

    Just went to Old Navy and got 2 sports bras for $10 each!

    Target also has really wonderful Champion sports bras. I buy the ones with the stretchy seams (if that makes sense...)

    Both kinds are soooooo comfy!

    I love my target sports bras. I believe they are Champion? They are racer back and a very soft stretchy material. I just wear mine under my scrubs at work since I head straight to the gym to change bc they are so comfy.

    Champion! They are Champion. Every time someone I know travels to Buffalo I asked them to grab me a few... 16 bucks, can't complain.

    check out any Danskin sports bra- but get it one size smaller than you normally would buy. You can get them in a two pack for $8 in two bright colors or black and white.

    If you dont have wal-mart (like here in NYC - its banned) you can go to wal-mart.com and check their active wear section - its more than just cheapie sports bras, its cheapie activewear in general. The Danskin Now line was made specifically for wal-mart.

    This...My fav sports bra that I have is a Danskin Now...I am not sure of the size thing though b/c I wear a 38D one & that is the same size as my regular bras as well....

    I get most of my workout clothes at Target!!! I also have found that Old Navy has good cheap pants and shorts for running and yoga. Great wicking material.

    As for sports bras, I get the champion brand bras at Target and go one size down. I am not well endowed, but I run a lot so the tighter fit helps with the bouncing. Yup, all that movement can bother even the smallest chests.

    I'm looking for a cheap bra (hello, Target!) that I can wear over my regular bra when I go to the gym (Don't like getting fully naked in the locker room) but will give support..also, kind of a bonus question: How do you determine which size to get? I went to Target today and none of them said they covered DD i'm a 36DD for reference.

    Any recommendations are appreciated :)

    At 36DD/36E, I'd suggest you skip the cheap bras altogether and go for a good one at a specialty shop. (34DDD/F, here, so I know the feeling of wanting to keep the girls in place.)

    Wearing two bras is a bad idea..

    I have two of the Danskin adjustable back foam sports bra - LOVE THEM! Sooo comfortable and keep everything in check. I believe they were about $12 each on Walmart.com

    It depends on if you're looking for a high impact sports bra, or if you're going to be doing things that aren't high impact....

    I just started the Insanity workout by BeachBody, and got a danskin sports bra from walmart for $12. I got 2 diff ones, and both provide NO BOUNCE! I'm a 40dd, so I understand your issue! I actually did a 'bounce test' in the fitting room too. One zips in the front, and one is a racer back that also has a bra like strap under that. They are both extremely comfortable, reasonably priced, and provide the support I need, and the no bounce for the high impact jumping around I try to do with Insanity!!
    Hope this helped!

    I also have a bunch of danskins from walmart and love them.

    Marks and Spencer do the best sports bras ever! I love mine, it has a racer back and keeps everything in place for high impact exercise (like Step Aerobics/Body Conditioning).

    YAY target!!

    i literally just bought 3 of the champion ones there this weekend to replace the last three i had (which were now too big after losin a few lbs) i used the guide on the tag for sizing- and so far the fit seems totally accurate. dont know how much support theyll give if youre more well endowed... it might be worth it to invest in something a little more pricey with an underwire if it means comfort over cheap :]

    I use the Champion ones from Target and also love the sports bras at Old Navy, soft yet supportive!

    Sorry ladies but I saw an opportunity here: My thought that for the "cheapest" sports bra, one should perhaps consider a roll of duct tape. These can be found at the local Wal Mart for less than 2 bucks! Hope this helps! hahahahahah

    I'm a fan of using duct tape but just for shirts that are backless. I don't know if I would use it for working out though. Won't that rip your skin?

    Don't know if you have an outlet mall near you, but underarmour outlet had their sportbras on sale for 9.99 the other day. They are very comfortable and supportive (they are racer-back). Plus they are made with the wicking fabric so you stay cooler. :smile:

    I have a high impact Danskin sports bra from Walmart that I absolutely love! Holds the girls and super comfy! I think I paid $10 for it.

    Like a lot of repliers here, I wear Champion sport bras and I find them fabulous.
    They keep everything together and controlled (hardly any bounce) when I run.
    I purchased them at Costco. And after numerous, numerous washings, they still hold their shape and still do their job.

    Love the Danskin brand at Walmart...they even have ones with underwire for like $10!
