What is your favorite Bra?

[Bad JuJu]

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.)

i have this one from victoria secrets that i love and is so comfortable: http://www2.victoriassecret.com/comm...me=OSBRPBBVBRA
and for a more "girly" one i have this: http://www2.victoriassecret.com/comm...GZZZ&rfnbr=377

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...

For normal everyday bras, I wear these, too, and really like them. They are soft, comfortable, and the underwire works well. Before that I was wearing just the standard cotton ones, but these ones seem better and longer lasting (so far). I don't fit in them like the model does, though

For sports bras, I have a Hind Nexus right now (bought at TE of course), before that I had a champion jogbra that was simple but low tech (I couldn't actually run in it, but it worked great for biking). Going to try the CWX soon, I hope, the Nexus is too thick under my trisuit and I'm not sure how good it'll be at drying quickly.

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.

On the CW-X, Terry is out of their Large size so I went hunting elsewhere. I also found a "D Cup" version for the larger ladies:

Unfortunately it only comes in Small and Medium at that store, which means you 36/38D ladies might still be out of luck.

your not the only one. i'm not good at it either. i have to latch them in front and then spin it around my tummy and put it on that way.


I'm so glad I'm not alone in this! I latch mine in the front and spin it around my tummy too. My daughter can put on a bra better than I can and she only has 2 or 3 years experience!

[Geonz]

I leave 'em latched and throw 'em over my head, tho' I am pretty good at groping in the dark. (I'm not surpirsed there isn't a yoga move for doing that...)

Let's see, how about memory foam? Like they use for mattresses?
