    Sports Bra/what to do

    What brand of sports bra do you wear/recommend. I'm in the market for a new one. I am a 36, almost DD. Problem is that the bras out there smash me down and after about an hour, my ribs hurt. It seems that even the large or extra large are not that great. I do not want to be bouncing around but I need to breath. I'm not at all concerned with looks, just fit. There are also a great array of tops with bras 'sewn in' however if it fits my torso, it doesn't fit my breast. Or the elastic only comes 1/2 down my breast, leaving me to pull and tug on my breasts while I'm in the middle of a ride. (giving motorists a cheap thrill) Here in Sunny So.Cal, you can ride 365 days a year, my bras gets lots of use. This has been a problem for me since day one. It used to be worse before I lost weight, but it is still a problem. I dream of days when I used to be a 34B and anything fit.

    have you had a look at the Title 9 catalog? They seem to have the most extensice collection of sports bras I have ever seen.
    I think they have a really good return/exchange policy too so you can find the right one for you.

    Take a look at www.activasports.com. I found bras that really fit in there, and they are not to pricey. I've been wearing on style for a couple of months. They've been through the washer and dryer a lot of times already and seem to be holding up well.

    http://www.tworoadsfitness.com/larbreaswom.html has a great selection of bras for larger-busted women. I'm a big fan of the Moving Comfort Maia bra. And, if you need something for no bounce whatsoever (although it can be a bit tough to breathe in, then the Enell sports bra (Oprah's favorite) is a good choice. But for biking I'd recomend the Moving Comfort.

    I am a 36D and I ended up wearing 2 sports bras! I haven't found one that fits right after much trying on. I buy 2 cheap ones and wear them, make sure that they both and comfortable tho, I tried the 1 medium 1 large and I could barely breathe BUT I don't bounce when I run I now wear 2 larges and find that sufficient.

    I'm also a 36DD and very happy with my Moving Comfort Fiona bra, and use it for hiking, jogging, road and mountain biking. I could even jump rope in this sucker. I was worried about the adjustable straps on my misshapen collarbone but they aren't rubbing on that or on the normal side, either. So far everything's staying in place. They do seem to be sized a hair bigger than my regular bras so I got the 36D. I've only had it for a month but use it about 3 times a week-so far it's holding up fine under the washings/bouncings.
    I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out.

    I am a full 36D and I wear a champion razerback from Target. You can also get it online at the champion website. I posted the link to it on another post I will try to find it. They are not very expensive and are totally breathable. I love mine. I have four of them and wear them at home all the time.
