Reply With QuoteHave any of you tried Title 9 sports? They carry the best sports bras I've ever found, even lots in unusual sizes. They're not kidding about the rating system, btw. If they say something is really supportive, it is REALLY supportive. Now if I could find something in 32E that doesn't look like a bra (and some jerseys that fit), I would be really set.

The basic design flaw in sports bras as I see it: most are more or less racer-back cut. The shoulder straps lie close to my neck and tend to ride up towards the neckline. They almost always peek out of street clothes that don't have collars.
Which means I can't wear my fave--it's multicolored polka dots--under street clothes unless I want to look like Bozo the Clown.
Oh yeah, Brassierre World will allow you to take 27 bras into a fitting room so that you don't have to try two on...get dressed...go pick up two more...get undressed...try them on...get dressed....................

LOL! Please let me know if you find ANY 32 band sports bras in a larger cup size. I don't care what they look like. As for jerseys, as long as they aren't mens' cut, I don't have much problem wearing a womens' sm or md, depending on the brand. Just need to try them on.

So great to finally hear from women my size! The only sports bra that come close, for biking is the Donna Karan one with the underwire on the front - I got a 34 DDD that was as close as I could get. Saks actualy carries it in a 34 DDD. Nordstrom also has some of these brands.
For running I wear the Egnell - that one in which you really don't move at all. Really make running an opton for me for the first time. I think I got a size one. Kind of hard to squeeze yourself into, but once it's on it works. I find it kind of too tight for the bike, but it may be worth another try. Saw one in red the other day at the local running store.
Title 9 is good. Also if you are in NYC the Bra store the Town Shop on the upper West side is the best Bra store in the world - and I have been to all of them
.
For a regular bra I love the company Fantasie AKA Freya - good for 2 piece bathing suits too.
My cousin jokes that in my prior like I had a Bra sore on the lower east side and wore a tape measure around my neck.
Please if you have found anything else that works for you let me know - it's been a lifelong battle - I have a great nursing bra story too for another day.Last edited by Bklynmom; 10-10-2007 at 07:22 PM.

Any one have this problem? If I wear the properly supportive bra to a spin class and work as hard as I like to work, about 1/2 way through the class I want to scream GET THIS THING OFF ME!!!! and tear it off my body! Even while wearing my lightest bike jersey. I need the support, otherwise you don't have to watch my LEG to count my cadence.
I just try to put it out of my mind, but oy! how I envy the guys as they pull off their sopping Tshirts and change into dry for stretching. and me with the steaming, brine-soaked corset....(end of rant, LLB falls backward off chair)
