Reply With Quotei hear you on that - I have had such a struggle finding the right bra. I just bought a Moving Comfort bra - it has underwire and cups. So far, so good. Champion also makes a good underwire bra you could try. Title 9 Sports seems to have about the best athletic bra selection I have found. Good luck!

Sports bra question!
To disable ads, please log-in.
Okay guys, this is kind of embarrassing.
I know everyone who does this pretty much wears a sports bra.
But i have bigger, gravity-worn breasts and wearing a sports bra has never been comfortable for me.
Do you have any suggestions? Anyone have a similar problem and a workable solution?
Thanks!

Darned that gravity! If this keeps up I'm gonna start spending all my time on my hands instead of my feet-that'll even everything out, right?
How this will work out on a bike I don't know...
I'll second the Moving Comfort bras but see if you can't find them local so you can try them on first, like bike seats, what works for this person doesn't always do the job for the next.
And yes, that was me doing jumping jacks in the dressing room-checking for bouncivity, you know...I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out.

I just saw a couple bras for DD's in an Athleta catalog- one looked more like a regular bra than a sports bra. They have a website. It's a women's sporting goods company.

If I did jumping jacks I'd knock myself out.
Stupid gravity.
One good thing though - you know the pencil test to help you tell how saggy you are?
I tried it just to see and discovered I could hold an encyclopedia if I wanted. (slight exaggeration).
Still, I'd imagine the extra storage could be nice while biking.

I'm a DD too, (I'm a title 9 bras fan), the storage is really useful!!!
I regularly use the girls to hold my glasses, MP3 player, food, keys...guys are a little wierded out by it though.

Hey! It's a great place to stash those veggie weiners!

The only time I've really weirded out a guy was on a date when my boob started ringing. He didn't understand that it's a great place to keep a cell phone!

LOL: I thought I was the only one to use the sports bra as a storage chamber. Even my guy friends now ask me, if I'm looking for something, if it's in "storage" and half the time it is! Great place for keys, sunglasses, cell phone, money etc.

I do that a lot... wear a regular bra and a sports bra over it to keep from bouncing too much...
Though when I read your question I had a great mental picture of not only the two bras, but - in order to keep you dry, a towel stuck in between your chest sticking out the top and the bottom. I've been sitting here giggling for a minute... cause, that's something i can see myself doing.
I don't really have a moisture problem whenever I work out... no matter how much water I drink, I don't sweat much. I wonder if there's a different type of regular bra material that might be more handy, like a mesh...?

I actually need to find something with CoolMax or some other moisture wicking material. I do sweat alot, I mean dripping especially if it is hot or I am working hard. I know that means my body is doing it job and working efficiently but I hate all the wet, top to bottom.

The Enell, or "last resort bra" is the be all and end all for DD and up IMO. It's 11 hooks and eyes, requires acrobatics to put on, and is momentarily painful, but is TOTALLY worth it!
I was a 36DDD and it held me flat as a pancake for jumping jacks and running. I still wear one for mountain biking and running. They're expensive, but can be found new on ebay for about half price!
