Sports Bra Question (Ladies)

I'm looking for suggestions. I wear a D cup and I have to wear two sports bras to work out otherwise I am all over the place. Does anyone know of a good support sport bra?

    My dad's girlfriend bought it for me when I was in high school, so I don't remember what brand it is; but I feel your pain!

    I'm a 34DD, which is apparently a rare band/cup combo. No sports bra would work. I got my current sports bra from ****'s Sporting Goods, and it straps me in like my life depends on it. I've had it for about seven years now (almost eight); and it hasn't given up on me since.

    Try ****'s Sporting Goods...they're a God send! :tongue:

    I am a 34/36DDD and I have tried many sports bras. My two current favorites are:

    Moving Comfort Fiona bra -- this is a major masher but it WILL hold you in place! It comes in lots of cute colors and looks like a bra top so if the straps are visible it doesn't matter.

    Moving Comfort Luna bra -- this is also very supportive but actually gives you some shape. I can wear it for most work-outs and it doesn't look bad under regular clothes i.e. you could wear it to work too. It also comes in cute colors.

    The largest size they sell is a DD but that works for me. I have a 34DD in both these styles and they get the job done.

    I am a D cup and have using the champion brand for several years and like them very much. They come in different degrees of support/stay power and I buy the max. I do sports that involve a lot of bouncing, so good support is a must. some of my other more well-endowed friends in karate also swear by the Zoot brand sports bras, but they can be a bit pricey for me.

    If you invest in an Ennelle, I guarantee your girls will be immobile. The bra is like a corset that holds everything in place through a series of snaps in the front. trust me, they won't move. At all. Ever.

    I was a D cup as well before I lost weight, and there was only ONE sports bra that supported me effeciently. Just jump up and down in the dressing room next time you go shopping for one to see if it supports ou enough :) With all of my other sports bras I wear a regular bra underneith (its a lot more comfortable than two sports bras).

    I have tried different bras.... but the best solution I've come up with is to wear a regular bra and a sports bra over it. That's what I've been doing for months, and it works great!! ((On a side note, I started at a 46ddd and now I'm a 40d))

    I second the moving comfort Fiona bra. I have been wearing that one for ages, including while nursing. I'm naturally a 34DD so when I was nursing and a 40DDD it still kept me from bouncing around.

    Love it!

    I second the Under Armour. I was wearing two sprts bras until i found this one. They are pricey though (starting at about $45), but very worth it!

    YES. Moving Comfort Fiona-- squishes 'em down and lets you run.

    Wacoal '855170' Underwire Sports Bra, just discovered it at Nordstrom. I'm a 38DDD and it fits perfectly. Does away with "uniboob" look and is extremely comfortable. I just discovered it, bought 3 for the summer, you can order online Nordstrom website. Sizing goes up to a 40H (5D).

    Another vote here for shock absorber, especially there level 4b range for running and hi impact. I vary between a 36dd (UK) and 32e (UK) depending on weight and nothing moves when I'm wearing one of these bras and they don't squish you (although the style I wear does leave you with a sort 1950s cone type bust shape). Just make sy=ure its a good tight fit before you buy.

    The moving comfort Juno is the best I have found! Good luck! It is worth the extra money!

    I also recommend Moving Comfort Fiona....I'm a large 36D.

    I just bought a Glamorise Sports Bra at JCPEnney. I'm a 36D myself and it's a little loose even, but nothing is bouncing in it and I'm very happy with my purchase.

    Moving Comfort makes amazing bras - don't buy white because they will discolour on you, but they will hold you like no other!

    I used to wear 2 bras too - holy chaffing and sweating! The Fiona changed that for me. Yay!

    I am D-DD and I finally found an underarmour that crosses in the back and has the adjustable bra hooks as well. AMAZING! Ran a 5K in it this past weekend and it was great, no movement! Ive spent so much $ and ive finally found "the one" :smile: I found it at ****'s Sporting Goods btw. GOOD LUCK!

    If you are a Victoria's Secret fan they are currently having their friends and family sale! You can get 50$ + bras for 20$. I have never tried their sports bras but it might be worth a tray. Personally I'm a 34 A so I don't need much support. I just buy the target brand sports bras because they are tight enough to hold everything in tightly.

    Enell.

    About $65 at regular price, but if you watch for sales at sites that sell undies, you can get it for under $50.

    Fitness Magazine just had an article on this not too long ago and I think the Under Amour was rated the best. I have been wearing Champion (I don't remember which one but it has an underwire) and I'm a 38D. they are really good. Definitely holds you in, But with some of the recommendations here I may try another brand just to see.

    MARIKA hands down!! i got lucky and found one at Marshalls for 15 bucks, i googled it and they are 50 normally! it has underwire, padding, holds you in tight! i was a 44 DD. It has straps that are adjustable by hooks. Best bra i have ever had and i have had hundreds of sport bras. I might actually pay the 50 buck for a new one if i cant find a cheap one!

    You ladies couldn't have posted this at a better time for me! My daughter is only 13 and is already a 32D! She runs, and is a cheerleader! Poor Mom was/is barely B so I don't have a clue(except that I seem to be getting more as I age...LOL)

    Any recommendations for us would be greatly appreciated. I told her, she's not done growing yet, just starting. So I can't go out and buy a bunch of super expensive bras she'll grow out of in a couple of months....no one to hand them down too! LOL Her lil sis appears to be taking after me, or less!

    I have one that I like and a couple that don't really work well. The ones that I don't like as much are Fashion Bug brand and Fruit of the Loom brand (the underwire cup not the slip over t-shirt sports bra that offers zero support in my opinion). The one that I like is Glamorise No Bounce Cami Sports Bra G-1066 . It is on sale right now at Freshpair.com for like $25 with free shipping. I wear a 42DD and wear it with a sport tank with the built in shelf bra for a little extra help and it words pretty well.
