SPORTS BRAS FOR LARGER BREASTED WOMEN

My current fave is a sports bra made by the Anita brand. Freya, Goddess, and Natori also make sports bras for large cup sizes (and smaller bands). I like the Anita bra because the straps curve inward a bit, which gives me a better range of motion in my arms; other bras tend to just cut into my flesh during exercise like Yoga.

The best thing you could possibly do is go to a real lingerie store that carries bras in a wide variety of band and cup sizes. Nordstrom also offers a good selection of bras. Target and Victoria's Secret don't cut it. Lane Bryant doesn't really have the selection either if you're small band, large cup.

I get my sports bras from http://www.essentialbodywear.com/sportsbras.htm

I train and compete horses so need alot of support. Quite a few international and Olympic level riders wear these bras. I figure if they're good enough for them they're good enough for me. They are quite expensive but I think worth it. I no longer have bruising and pain.

When I weighed 250lbs I began to run and bought a couple of Enell sports bras. They were truely amazing. I was a 44DDD then. It feels like your wearing a life vest but honestly so worth it. There was zero bounce.

I'm currently a 38DDD and I'm wearing the Champion power sleek and double dry bras. Also I wear two bras at a time when I run for more support.

check out layne bryants web site.

This! They hardly ever have any in store but I have had great luck with some from their website.

Another vote for Enell here. Truly nothing else has ever compared.

The Shock Absorber bra! The best money I ever spent! It kept my 38F (eur) breastfeeding girls in place while I trained for and ran a half-marathon. And it's not as gigantic as some others, like Enell (which just looks HUGE). It's sold in the US (where I live) and the UK; just check online for the different sellers. I got mine at herroom.com and it included free shipping, which was an excellent bonus since I was already spending a lot.

Shock absorber every time - and I'm an E or F cup.

But beware, they do different levels, ranging from light support to heavy, do you need the highest level for running.

Got to be good, it's the best selling sports bra in the uk for the last 6 years.

I definitely recommend the Shock Absorber...36H here (please tell me this will go down with weight loss?!) and with that bra on, those babies don't move at all! Well worth the price.

50DD here. Have yet to find a sports bra (or ANY bra for that matter) that fits properly and is comfortable. I've been fitted professionally 3 times, each one had a different measurement, and sold be bras that were so tight I couldn't breathe, or pulled so hard on my shoulders that I would slouch to stop the pressure.

Will check out the recs made here. Thank you OP for starting this topic!

No guarantees on dropping cup sizes, but a lot of ladies report that they lose volume as they lose weight. I lost about 10-15 pounds over a year-long period out of the blue (before I started seriously exercising) but I didn't notice much of a change in sizes. When I went to get a replacement bra, I went down a cup size...I guess that's where the weight disappeared! :ohwell:

i have seen people post about shock absorber bras. I unfortunately being a 42 band still (G cup) cant shop at most places besides lane bryant for sports bras. and even they dont have any in store (i dont have a debit card to buy online) but i hear good things about shock absorbers.

Can you buy a giftcard with cash at your local store and then use that online? Right now they are having a buy two get two free deal on their bras and I googled coupon codes and found a $25 discount. Good luck!

Hard to say. I started at around 36H. I am down 40 pounds....and down to 34H. Not exactly a dramatic shift in breast size. My underbust is a lot smaller. around 3.5 inches.

There is absolutely no need to wear multiple sports bras. I was a 38GG and 36HH at different times and now a 34G. I wear shock absorbers. I'm able to run, do Body Attack everything with no pain or anything. My bust is very much held in place.

Go for the highest level you can buy and you will be absolutely fine! Can highly recommend and so comfy

I like the TaTa Tamer from Lululemon. I don't think they go up to F+ but I buy a 34DD or a 36D (if a funky color is on clearance, I am all about it and will take either size! HAHA) and it works great. My only complaint is you have to practically be a gymnast to get it on in the criss-cross back style (you can change it to regular style but the criss cross is better hold for like running, etc.) I finally figured it out but it took awhile. Haha!

I tried on the panache too in a bra shop the other day, its lovely, but I couldn't do the hook things at the back by myself, you hook the shoulder straps together to give more support and I found them tricky!

You don't have to hook them into a racerback, although I appreciate the option. I usually wear it in its original form because I can never get it UNhooked if I do racerback! Ha! Still super supportive, and yes, I bought the purple option!

bump for later
