What is your favorite Bra?

[TsPoet]

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.

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

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.

Why do you hate Title 9? I recently do, too. I love their catalogs, and have never had any problems ordering, but I HATE HATE HATE that they do not include brand names. Brand names, and the reputation of a clothing company, and past experience with other items from that company greatly influences my future shopping decisions. I'm done- the catalogs go in the trash now without being looked at because this annoys me so much!!!

My favorite bra right now is the Patagonia Mesh Bra for cycling, only, in the summer, it's too heavy. Right now I'm just wearing tanks with built-in shelf bras because they are the coolest.

My favorite every day bra is the Patagonia Tiny Bra.

For cycling, I'm a fan of the Champion line...they have several styles I wear, and they're all comfortable. For everyday wear, I really like Victoria's Secret Very Sexy. I am smallish and saggyish (real word???), and I like the way they actually make me look like I have something on my chest other than bumps. They make a very nice all cotton bra also, that is not padded, and is full coverage.. quite comfortable too.

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.
