Sports bra with "coverage"

[MelanieSuzanne]

Hi ladies. I've seen a lot of recommendations for sports bras which offer optimal support and which are most comfortable, but what I can't find are recommendations for sports bras that are thick enough to prevent my body from announcing to the world that I'm chilly (if you catch my drift). I've tried padded C9/Champion bras, running bras, Moving Comfort "Fiona" and none of them are thick enough.

I'm self-conscious enough about waltzing through the office en route to the ladies room in a sweaty shirt & shorts. Add in a couple of pointy bits and I'm mortified. Currently, I'm wearing a couple of older Lane Bryant bras that used to be part of my everyday collection. I'd like to find something specifically for exercise activities. Can anybody recommend something suitable for a 40C?

Thanks!

I recently bought the Panache Sports Bra, it's comfortable and good looking, and quite thick in the front, it doesn't show anthing.
Also, it comes in a wide variety of sizes and some different colors.

If you're happy with the support of the bras you have, maybe try some of those Nippits (http://www.dynamixmusic.com/index.cfm?gateway=module.shop&event=show&product_code=HTWL-NPTS)?

I'm a huge fan of the RoadRunnerSports RRS bra. It's extremely supportive, has a few layers of material, so it's not so revealing, and it's cheap. They also last forever.

Two thoughts:

- The folks at Team Estrogen are very knowledgeable about their products, so they might be able to recommend something.

- I like Bezi Bra Discs for everyday wear. I haven't tried them for exercise, but I think they'd work for that too.

You might want to try Moving Comfort. They are pricey, but I love them. REI sells them, so if you don't like them you can take them back, even if you have worn them.

I second the Moving Comfort suggestion. I have gone through multiple brands over the years, and now own a few Moving Comfort bras, all with excellent comfort, support, lasting power (hundreds of washes), and coverage. My two favs are the Fiona (not the coverage you want, but if you ever want just amazing support and comfort, try it out), the Alexis (excellent coverage, racerback, but a pain to get out of when wet), and the Vero ("bulletproof" coverage, back closure so easy in/easy out).

EDIT: I'm a 38C if that helps.

I second the Moving Comfort "Alexis" bra vote. It's the only sports bra I wear. For me, I love that it has structured cups that don't smoosh my small chest. The added benefit of the multi layer cup is it doesn't show headlights and wicks amazingly. It is slightly challenging to get on and off but I'm a pro at this point since I own 5.

Thanks so much for the great recommendations!

I have the perfect bra for you. Seriously.

http://www.teamestrogen.com/prodMC_350032.html Fabulous support (I run AND ride in it. I wear a D/DD and there's plenty of support even for running). Adjustable straps and back to dial in the fit. Molded foam cups hide everything. I love this bra and wear it often.

If you want a higher necked bra, the Maia also has molded cups and adjustable straps. http://www.teamestrogen.com/prodMC_350011.html

Hope this helps.

I have had Nike and Champion sports bras in the past. I am a guy who needs the support from a good bra when I exercise. A 38B is the right size for me. The LW Underwire from Title 9 gives me good support and is a back hook. I don't know how women get those pull-overs over your shoulders. I will never go back to one of those.
The Moving Comfort Luna looks like a good possibility for my next one.
