    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.

    full figured bra

    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.

    I don't wear a sports bra when I ride because my regular bras give me the support I need. This is my mostest favoritest bra ever in the history of the world. Full price is $24.00...it's reasonable too. And right now they are on sale! They also come in a lace trimmed model. It has great support, is soft and comfy, the underwire doesn't poke, and there is a second "stay" behind the underwire, just under the arm, for added support.

    Here's the link. I know it is lane bryant, but I love their bras. And they make them in fun colors. White and off white are usually my only choice in other bras.

    I fall out of bras (and alas, I'm falling out of that one again, but when I'm at the smaller part of the monthly cycle again, hopefully...) The Champion double dry does a really good job for me. I usually don't have to wear it cycling - there are some nice Bali full figure bras that I can wear for regular stuff - but I can actually run in the Champion. IT's also not so many laters of stuff, so I wore it under my suit for the mini-triathlons (which is why I tried it - my usual double-bagged armor would have dragged me to the bottom of the pool).
    I don't do underwire, as a rule. (I have discovered the hard way that you should never jump rope in an underwire bra. I'm just glad I never had to explain those wounds...) (I'm 36D or 38D, depending...)

    I would like a simple cotton everyday bra. Not one I wear riding. It has to be full coverage. I am a B cup but for some reason I still fall out of bra's that are demi cup!
    Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.
