Running for well endowed women

[Kathi]

I have considered that with my regular bras - even the ones that I get in a specialty shop. My encapsulated sports bra is pretty tight, though. It's great support as long as I'm not doing anything bouncy, and it even worked when I was in karate.

I should also add that my favorite sports bra has minimal movement - probably sufficient for many. My problem is that I had neck surgery a 18 months ago, and while my neck is so much stronger now, it's the gravity effect that has me nervous about any movement whatsoever. So the bounce isn't incredibly bad; it's pretty minimal. I'd just like less.

I did "double bra" on Thursday, and that did work pretty well.

To test the fit put you bra on backwards. How does the band fit? If it now feels loose the band is too big. If it's just right but feels tighter when you're wearing the bra it could be your cups are too small. Too small of a cup will make the band feel tight. If the bra fits but doesn't give you the support you want it may be designed for light to moderate activity not activities like running.
