Padded sports bras

[OakLeaf]

I almost said "could you post a picture please?" and then realized how that sounded. Um, is there a link to an ad that has a picture?

If I can jump in here for a moment...

We carry LOTS of bras, to suit many difference preferences.

To address a few things mentioned here...

A/B cup bras without padding:

1) Try the Handful. Pads are removable. These have been HGELY popular this year. Come in 5 colors.

2) Patagonia Barely Bra. No padding.

3) Phoebe A/B bra - Racerback with no hardware.

4) CW-X Lite Support - no padding

5) Iris Bra - I love this Bra. Comes in A/B and C/D. No padding http://www.teamestrogen.com/prodMC_300124.html Might be a teeny bit generous in the cup for a true A, but a tweener should be fine in it.



I'll address larger bras in my next post.

Any solutions for those of us who fall between B-C cups? I was a 38D before I lost a lot of weight and went to the department store this weekend to get measured properly. Nothing they had in either 38B or C cup came close to fitting, but I've never been a fan of sports bras I've found in department stores. I don't care so much about headlight dimming, but that would be great if I can get that and proper support.

And just to be picky, I need a racer back - or at least one that is convertible. Perhaps as I continue to lose weight perhaps I can get out of this "in-between" category. I didn't buy anything since nothing fit - but my larger bras just aren't doing the job any more...

I've looked at your site and didn't see anything in a 38B - it seems better to me to go a little small rather than a little large. Of course, I may just not have hit the right filter I've never been smaller than a C cup as an adult, so this seems odd to me

I think you may not have hit the filter correctly. (Go to Apparel-->Tops-->Bras. then go to the size filter and click "See More Sizes") There are 4 bras in 38B on the site: http://www.teamestrogen.com/product/...00002~38B.html For best support in a racer-back, I'd recommend the Moving Comfort Juno over the Saucony Motion Sensor.

As for B/C, yes, there are some options here. I find Cs a skosh too large in some styles (I can hardly believe I'm writing that... ), so here's some B/C options that I've found to work well.....

By filtering on 36B/C, these CW-X options come up. http://www.teamestrogen.com/product/...0002~36BC.html They are all racer back. As far as the bras go, in order of most supportive to least supportive, these go Extra Support. Firm Support, then Sport Support/Ventilator are a tie (same bra, different fabrics). Only the 1st 2 are available in 38B/C. (ANd yes, I've worn all of these extensively, except the Ventilator. Did a 10 mile run inthe Firm Support just yesterday!)

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the information! This is very helpful - and I figured that I didn't hit the filter quite right - it was very early this morning when I looked You have given me some options that I like much better than at the nameless department store - now I just have to decide which one to try first

4) CW-X Lite Support - no padding
http://www.teamestrogen.com/prodCW_165001.html

These are my "go-to" bras. Due to the internal support straps, they have minimal, 'show-through', but they're really supportive without being constrictive. I have 5 of them, and keep looking for more on sale!

We have these marked down 12% http://www.teamestrogen.com/prodCW_165001.html

You mean the aqua one that I can convince myself is Celeste that will match my Bianchis???

I've never worn the lite one - mine are all the regular support ones. I'm a 34 b/c, but guess I'll have to try this. I'll report back when it gets here.

Susan, you're evil!!! (and a really, really great business woman!)

[Susan Otcenas]

Pedal Wench - you linked to the Lite Support in your previous post, so I got confused. But yes, the SPORT Support in Aqua is also on sale. http://www.teamestrogen.com/prodCW_165002_2.html CW-X discontinued that color (last season for it was Fall 2009) and we have only a few left (6 in your size), so we marked them down. They discontinued the rose color (last season Spring 2009) but we only have 32B/C left in that color. http://www.teamestrogen.com/prodCW_165002.html

Oh, and thanks for the compliment. I'm not sure I'm a great businesswoman (my desk wouldn't always be such a disaster area if I were) but I do try really really hard to be a good information resource!

Nope - I was the one who was confused! But, now I'm gonna get the SPORT support, in Aqua, in my size. Once again, another happy customer.

So, now I have that in black with gray trim, black with pink trim, blue, white, pink, and coming soon, celeste! (Okay, fine, aqua, but I'm telling my Bianchi it's celeste!)
