    I'm a 34D and this bra is about the only one I can wear that works well for me. http://www.teamestrogen.com/prodCW_165102.html (note: hope CWX aka Wacoal never stops making it, and TE never stops carrying it! lol... Wacoal is my only bra brand I can wear non-sports as well)

    It also comes in an A/B version. The fabric is kinda a double system, but not foam padded cups. Also, I love a black sports bra the best. Black as a color does NOT turn see-thru when wet with sweat!

    Besides my outdoor riding, I teach Spinning year round... lots outside riding-running guys in the front row of class this time of year... CWX black bra locked and loaded girls is how I face em for 60mins lol.

    Good Luck with your search!

    p.s. also, a print fabric helps to hide things as well... wear your solids when alone without boys, and busy print with if it helps your concern.

    I have always worn a sports bra. So this summer when I had to get a strapless bra to go with my "mother of the the groom" California wedding style dress, I went into a lingerie store for help. When they asked what size bra I wore, I was unable to answer. Rolling of 3 pairs of italian grandmother in ground gripper shoes, black dresses, well dressed hair and makeup, eyes and much phoo phoo rah about producing a tape measure. Requisite sample bras were pulled. Oldest grandmother hustles me into a dressing room and follows. She snaps her fingers for me to strip, whips a bra around me, fastens up the back, looks at me and says " bend over" when I do, she inserts an index finger, flips the fried egg up and back shouting " whoo pah!" , repeats on the other side, tells me to "stand up straight, shoulders back" and proceeds to poke the muffin edge in around the cup and says "there that's how you do it, now you try the others." She didn't actually leave the dressing room, she just stood back, and insisted in repeating the "whoo pah, tuck tuck tuck" action for each bra. By the time we finally got to one that fit and held all the muffin top, and could accomodate the "whoo pah" action, I was lauging fit to burst. I wore it for the wedding and the dinner after and haven't since, but I could if I wanted to . All it takes is a little "Whoo Pah" action.

    In the meantime I ride bare or with bandaids, cause frankly I just don't care anymore. Love my fried eggs more and more every day, but resigned to losing them if necessary as the mammogram dictates.

    I use DIMRS (www.dimrs.com) in situations where it seems like I'd be more comfortable with that sort of coverage. They don't add bulk as a padded bra would, and are easy to clean (hand soap and water). They're also a good solution for going braless in non-sports situations (assuming the shirt/dress is sufficiently form-fitting).

    I have pencil erasers, and I'm cheap, which is not a good combination. I buy the 3 pack sport bras from the department store. they are like little half-tank tops, with no cups or anthing, just tubes with straps. Worse, they are cotton, but they are the comfyest thing for running and biking. But I still show through every layer.

    Haven't tried bandaids yet but have used folded toilet paper. Sigh.
    I can do five more miles.

    Oh my gosh...these look perfect!!! I wonder which one is better. There's the original DIMRS & then there's one called Nipstiks. I wonder which one would stick better. I sooooo want to order a pair. Just can decide which one is better. Does the DIMRS stay in place when you sweat a lot?

    Ok...totally awesome & CHEAP idea. Gonna try this one for sure too!
