    Awesome. Thanks for the info. I think I'll get one and see how it compares to the Nexus. I think it'd fit better under the trisuit if I choose to wear it, and I would look less like a dork with a black bra showing than a white anyway

    May this thread now return to its previous discussion of larger boobage trisuits!

    I saw an article on beginner triathlete about this same issue and the reviewer recommended a tri suit from jam trisuits. She indicated that she didn't think much of the colours, but they provided excellent support. I believe the writer was a 36D in size.

    Hope this helps

    I asked this question about a month ago. The consensus seems to be a bra under the trisuit is the only real option. I think for me that will definitely true. I wore a tri top to spin class one day and it didn't have enough support for a standing run, so i can only imagine how uncomfortable an actual run would be. Do a search on boobage and a couple of good threads will come up.

    I have the same issue. I am in my first tri in 4 weeks. On recommendations from triathletes in this discussion forum, I am going to be wearing a sports Bra (either the Maia from Moving Comfort or someone told me to try the Enell) under my Tri Suit. The Tri Suit I picked is a Fuel Tri Suit from Sugoi. Love it!

    Good luck to you!

    Even though I'm not exactly big upfront, I still wear my sports bra underneath. I just made sure it was dri-fit and looked at how it was cut under my arms, ie not too tight or upclose to the folds. I had no problems this weekend with it, and it made changing after the race much easier!

    Thanks for all the input. I think I will give up the search for a truly supportive tri suit or tank and focus on finding a comfortable, supportive and quick dry sports bra to wear underneath my top. I think I am going to try the CW-X bra top. I looks like it won't be too bulky under a suit. I guess I was just holding out hope for a miracle top.

    I agree on the color selections for the Jamsuits. Wow!

    I think I injured my eyeballs on those Jamsuit colors. And the apalling amount of pink and lavender text.

    Ow.

    I need to hear some Eurythmics and Bow Wow Wow to get me through this 80's flashback.

    (I admit it. I wore those color combinations. It was the decade. Everyone was doing it...)
