    I totally agree! I'm an F cup and mine don't move in my Enell. It's the only sports bra I can wear.

    Also, what are the thoughts on zip front closures? They look easier to put on, but with my luck I would totally zip my skin into the bra...>>;


    I'm going to do the double bra thing until I can get some new bras, hopefully it will help, but I really don't want to do it too much, its wears my nicer bras out too fast and ends up being more than just buying a more expensive, higher quality sports bra for working out.

    My MIL actually did zip her skin OUCH! it was tender and she was sore for weeks

    I'm also top heavy and use the one's from Target. I wear a regular bra under it though, and that seems to work great. I'd feel naked with JUST a sports bra... even with a shirt on top.

    OMG, I wasn't expecting such a huge response! Thanks everyone for your input.


    Are the sizes for Sports Bras just completely different than the sizes for regular bras? Because I was sized as a 38/40D right before I moved(like three months ago). I'm going to have to look for a running store, I haven't seen any since I moved up here, but if the sizing is the same I don't see why I would have to get sized again?

    Different brands will often have different sizes. When I first started wearing European bras, I was a 34E in some brands and a 36E in others. Now I'm more of a universal 34F, but if you're going to spend a pretty penny on a bra, then it's best to try on and be properly fitted. For a proper fitting, go to specialty stores rather than a running store. Google a few of the higher end bra names like Prima Donna, Simone Perele, and Aubade to find a store in your area.

    Some sports bras I've heard fit differently. Enell is definitely sized differently.

    For what it's worth I doubled up for a long time, until I hit 38c. It works really well. I even occasionally used to double regular bras if I wanted lots of lift. Now I can get away with Target ones, though, which is nice.

    Another vote for the Enell for the really well-endowed. :) I wear a G cup and have two of them...as others have said, they are not cheap, but they are well worth the investment!

    I got this Champion sports bra at ****'s sporting goods. It's sits stretchy, heavy double layered reversal nylon? Mine is white, but I think it also comes in black. Very supportive! It smushes the girls down so they aren't going anywhere, or maybe I just need a bigger size, but I think it is a great bra for the price. It was somewhere between $20 & $30.

    I've had good luck with the BCG sports bras from Academy if I get the high exercise rated one. My poor daughter spent hours with me one day In Kohl's while I tried on every one they had and jumped up and down in the dressing room and none of them worked. I went back to Academy and was much happier.

    ALSO, I don't know if this gadget works or not and don't laugh but I've seen this in my Jazzercise catalogs. I'm a Jazzercise fanatic and I've seriously been tempted to buy myself one of these.

    You can google "janestrap" and find more information on them. Good luck!
