Sports Bra While biking?

[Ana]

Yeah, I guess it would be embarrassing to have to fess up to an underwire injury at the hospital....ow!

Where is the problem?
You are women. Love your bodies.At least try.....

For Pete's sake. I do not understand you ladies' aversion to your own, beautiful equipment.

I do not understand why the so horridly named uniboob is a problem, nor, when I was trying to find out whether I am clear on the meaning, the headlight thing that also seems to obsess the minds of - pardon my narrowness - America's athletic womanhood. Going for a padded bra to avoid showing your nipples? Oh behave! It's the adrenaline kick of the finish too!

I don't think we're looking at an aversion issue. Those of us with larger "beautiful equipment" actually feel pain when we have inadequate support.

When one is well-endowed the uniboob issue becomes a problem because then a great deal of sweat collects between the breasts. That sweaty pocket gets mighty uncomfortable. The uniboob can cause chafing, too. Yes, some of us have boobs big enough that they chafe each other.

A bra with support and separation can make athletic activities (even something as low impact as riding) as comfortable for us as for those with smaller breasts that don't need miracles of engineering wrapped 'round their ribcages.

I also wear a 34 DD and bought this one right here on TE. I see now it's on sale!

I wear underwire in my everyday bras but this one does not have it. It's very supportive. I like the front zipper.

I ordered 34 DD in this but returned it for a 36DD because it was snug.

edited to add: here is the new style with a larger size selection.

My sports range from no impact (swim) to low impact (bike or walk) to high (Aikido, being thrown through the air). I thought bras don't matter. I'd get whatever was on sale, Primal, Champion .... as long as it wicked 'cause I sweat like a hog

KnottedYet took me to the shrine of bras, think it was Title9 in Seattle. It was like being fit for a bike. It makes a huge difference in how my posture feels. I can breath, it's amazing I feel supported but not constricted, my shoulders aren't being pulled down .... I really don't care about who thinks what about the girls size but i do care about my comfort on the bike and elsewhere.

Now that I know the size and model I like (Moving Comfort Fiona is one that I like) I get them at Sierratrading post or wherever there is a sale.
