NEED a good sports bra.



Recommended Posts

NEED.

Boobs currently 42F. F is for Floppy, I think. Trying to do Couch to 5k on my treadmill, and have to hold boobs up with my hands. Not ideal. Ended up having to shove mp3 player in bra with boobs. Also not ideal.

Where'd you get a good solid one? Will accept steel. Just want girls to stay up there while I run. I'm almost to the point where I can tuck them in my pants pockets, but not quite.

Thanks for any links provided. And my boobs thank you, too.

Angie,

I have the exact same problem. I joke (no joke) that I need a cast-Iron sports bra. I have posted elsewhere about this, and someone suggested the Enell sports bra. I have not yet tried one myself, but thought I would pass along the info. Good luck to you, and I feel your pain!!

Hey Girls, I put my girls in a Shear Shapewear, Just Google it. I bought two different sizes. They are cute and they hold the boobies in place. I also ordered a couple of lacy ones to wear after my surgery. They are nice and soft and actually keep things fairly perky. Ordered these cuz was afraid my underwires would rub on wounds after surgery.

Damn it! I've tried to post twice, and lost both of them! Frigging Windows! I'll try one more time...

You poor thing. I have a friend who has to go to a specialty shop for her bras, she is a 40LL. That is NO laughing matter, people! Anyway, the brand is Norvell, and the website is www.norvellbra.com, and by looking at their home page, it looks like you might be able to find a distributer close to you.

Personally, I'm a B cup, even at my highest weight. Now, I'm still a B cup, and I'm thinking that I'll soon be able to just tuck them into my pants pockets, too. You are not alone.

Oprah has a bra she swears by. I wonder if it's on her website. She said she always had to wear 2 when she went jogging, but this one really holds her girls in place.

I don't have big ones, but I can't find one to fit me around here. I found one at Kmart and one at Walmart, but both places didn't have the size I need.

Thanks! I will check them all out.

Wish I was at goal so I could buy like 5 and not have to do laundry every day. Oh well, soon. :thumbup:

Same problems here... until I doubled up and used a regular bra under a sports bra. Now no black and blue eyes or thights. I will look into the website you all posted.

Oh, I should add that these aren't sports bras, but my friend couldn't find any good sports bras, but said she gets all the support she needs from these, even working out, so at her size, they must be pretty great!

Yes, I have the same problem with my girls bouncing all over the place during my workouts!!!! UUUUGGGGHHHH!!!!!!! :thumbup: So I checked out the Enell bras website (Enell Sports Bra - Welcome). However, when I went to my local location & bought one (uuuhhh...BTW....$64.90 after tax!!!!!!) after going home & putting it on (and yes, I tried it on first @ the store & it seemed fine) and wearing it around for a few hours, it just felt too weird and gave me NO shape whatsoever!!! NO!!!! Oh it held them in place all right, they weren't going anywhere for sure. But it just kind of mashed them down and I looked like I had a large hump on my chest as opposed to 2 boobies. Too weird for me, but of course, everybody is different, and you'd have to try it yourself. I wound up taking it back because for $64, I want some shape along with me being held in place. Just my 2 cents worth. Good luck because I know how you feel, and being beat up everyday by one of your own body parts is not fun!!!!!!!!

that is my problem with most bras... that and the fact that they make the shoulder straps to darn long.... I am on 5 ft and them shoulder straps don't get short enough for me. I keep looking in hopes... so I will continue to double up.

I don't care how they LOOK in my basement on the treadmill. I just don't want them in my face every other stride. :thumbup:

Oh...Well yeah, in your basement doesn't matter. I work out @ our gym at my place of work & when I purchased it, I had every intention of wearing it all the time if I liked it.

For anyone else reading the thread, Junonia.com also sells sports bras for the well-endowed.

Angie..

When I trained for a ran my marathon, my Enell bra was my saving grace!! I love that thing!! It may not give you shape, but the "sistas" are locked and loaded and don't move an inch. I just bought a new one for my next training season....worth every penny!! Good job and your training....keep it up!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
