What is your favorite Bra?

[Brandi]

What is your favorite Bra? Mine this year for workouts is this champion bra http://www.championcatalog.com/cgi-b...nbr=2051000000 I bought two and they are really nice. The gel strap on them is really nice too. When I wear my camelback the straps don't bother me. And it dries really fast! So what is your favorite this year.

i love my champion one too. though i have a different one: http://www.championcatalog.com/cgi-b...nbr=2011000000

i have two of them. absolutely love them. no pain or movement at all.

i hate when the bottom elastic rolls under so annoying and uncomfortable. this one it doesn't move at all and wearing my strap for my heart rate monitor isn't uncomfortable. there is nothing like finding an all around good sports bra.

My current fave bra is a Champion too, but it's this model:

I like this bra so much I bought several of them (on sale!) so I can wear them all the time--and I do.

i was thinking about that bra, is it shaping or just "there"? i have a problem of falling out of bras.

Love the Wacoal CW-X

Once I got too small for my old one, I ordered a smaller size because I love it so much. The too big one is really too big, but I keep it for emergencies...

I've worn the CW-X for everything. Even wear it swimming with black Under Armor shorts, and call it my swimsuit! Dries fast. Planning to wear it in the Danskin Triathlon, too.

Chickwhorips, good question--I noticed that the online copy mentions "shaping," but as far as I can see, this bra doesn't do any kind of shaping, unless you consider the double-layer design and underwire a kind of shaping. But other than that, no shaping, nope. But I've never once fallen out of it--and I'm not exactly flat-chested, if you kwim.

C--and I'm not exactly flat-chested, if you kwim.

Which brings me to my question - any bras good for us full figured gals? I've never found an underwire that didnt' poke me in the middle of the breast, and the sports bras without them give me the uni-boob look. I've clicked on the links so kindly provided, and, for example, the L on one was 36B - I need a 36D.

Great thread, though - I'll be looking for a Champion to try, I think.

i have the same problem with every day bras. (i wear a 34D.)

and for a more "girly" one i have this: http://www2.victoriassecret.com/comm...GZZZ&rfnbr=377

I've heard a lot of good things about Enell, but never wore one.

Before the CWX I wore Moving Comforts all the time. There were a couple that didn't give me uni-boob when I was a larger size, but I can't remember the style names. None had underwires. My ribcage doesn't match the model for most bra manufacturers, so wires never seem to hit me right.

There were some really good bra reveiws written up in the "Apparel" threads.

Ooh, I like that victorias secret full coverage one! Might have to go check it out.

[im4smiley]

hmmm 38D here and I hate the Uniboob that most sports bras give me. I have several different ones I wear, but none that I love. Maybe some day. I found a Hanes underwire, no padding that I like for everyday..I have about 5 of them but they are getting old and I don't think they make these anymore...

I *hate* Title 9 - but they sure have intriguing looking bras and descriptions of them.

I have 3 Enells, which represents about $160 worth of brassiere. I wear 36D, and have uniboob and bounce when running with every single other sports bra I've worn. I bought a size 1 Enell (only in Enell am I a small!). It's ultimately too tight over my ribcage, and rubs on my xyphoid (tip of my sternum). The size 2 is a little large across my breasts, but better for my ribs. I put body glide under the bottom hooks so the fabric seam doesn't rub too much. Again, I can't believe women pay $$$ and go through surgery to get this much boobage. It's ridiculous at times!

TsPoet, why do you hate Title 9? I got the two larger Enells from them, and the experience was OK. The recorded voice on their "hold" message is beyond obnoxious, but other than that, it was fine.

1. because I’m capricious
2. because I’ve lost a lot of weight and went from a size 18 to a 12 and from every other source I can now wear a L, but XL from Title 9 are still too small. If they are women’s specific company, how come they are forcing women to be tiny? I exercise (a lot) I’m in better shape than most petite’s I know – what is Title 9 saying to me?
3. because they are expensive for cloths I’ll never be able to wear.
4. (and this one might start a flame war) I'm not sure I really approve of their namesake.

But mostly it's #2.

#1 makes me smile
#2 makes a lot of sense

Another vote for Champion but this time it is the http://www.championcatalog.com/cgi-b...nbr=2011000000. I wear these to bike and run - oh heck, I wear them all the time . They are comfortable and as you can see they have a variety of colors - which to me is key, I hate being stuck in plain white.
