    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'm very large chested. Hate it, but of well. I wear two bras to keep everything from bouncing. I basically wear a regular bra and then over that a sports bra (now you can understand how I have such good storage!). The problem is wicking away moisture. I haven't found yet a combo that keeps me dry. If any of you DDD gals out there have a recommendation, let me know.

    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.

    I'm a big fan of both the Moving Comfort Maia bra as well as the Enell bra. For cycling I don't usually bother with the Enell, but for running it was a must. The Moving Comfort works great for me for cycling. Haven't stored anything in there though -- it's already too full!

    My beef about sports bras is why are they so darn small!?! I keep buying size Small since I am a pretty small gal (34B bra, 4 Petite in clothes, 104 lbs), and they are tight as all get out. I recently sold two on eBay because I could barely get them on, and I just ordered another one (Contessa di Roma, I believe) in a size 34 - and it's also TINY!

    These are just the basic stretchy sports bras with racer-backs, nothing too fancy. I just don't understand why they don't cut them a little larger. I am a size Small in everything else, even an XS in some items, yet I must need a 36 or Medium sports bra. Why is that??

    Emily-
    cool thing about the Moving Comfort Fiona is that it's adjustable and has eye hooks in the back so you don't have to mamba your way into it. Sweet for those of us that are a little Frankensteined together and/or have no rythym whatsoever.
    I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out.

    Hey Emily - good to hear its not just me. I ordered a bra online and when it arrived I must have looked a treat trying to get myself into the tiny thing.
    I just assumed when you were a 34B thats what you should order, apparently not.
    The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
