NicoleW8ing 0 Posted April 21, 2008 Should i get a proper sports bra? shall i go and get fitted for one or just go to kmart or one of the cheap stores? I think it really depends on how large-chested you are. My friends can buy them from KMart and get the support they need. I am DD and I cannot do Kmart. The cheap sports bras still have me flopping around like a banshee. I got fitted for proper ones and they're expensive, but they keep me strapped in and supported Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
luluc 6 Posted April 21, 2008 I recommed getting a good one, but that's coming from someone who's rather large - inbetween a D & DD right now. I know there is a thread around talking about sports bras & there were a lot of choices in a variety of price ranges to look for. Good support is what you need, and that doesn't have to come at a high price. A fitting is a great idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She Smiles 2 Posted April 27, 2008 I get mine from Kmart, its a Hestia brand one and costs $20! I have gone from a 22DD to a 12D. I've gotten the same style from when I was about a 16D, I've just stuck with it because it fits and feels good on. It definitely keeps everything in place when I'm running! I definitely think getting a sizing done is a good idea if you're not sure what size you are now. Maybe try Bras n Things, Myer or David Jones, they'll usually do a sizing for you for free :huh2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boo Boo Kitty 3 Posted April 27, 2008 I agree unless you are small, don't get a cheap one, it will hurt! Spend the exra money and know you will feel good running! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bel 1 Posted April 27, 2008 Ya know, i reckon as long as it holds those babies down you can buy one from any department store, especially if you get one of those crop top type ones without the cups. lol to be honest they may well end up looking like ape boobs any way if you lose a lot of weight (dont mean to offend :-) Bel *big smiles* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhDiva 0 Posted May 4, 2008 I'm also a DD...the weight is coming off, but the twins are holding their own!! LOL I currently wear a "champion" that is made for DDs...but my favorite is "ENELL"...I first heard about them on Oprah...and now have two. They are pricey ($60.00)...but well worth the investment to me...the twins don't become "uni-boobs" and it holds them secure when I'm jumping and running...I workout, and it is PAIN-FREE!!!

MerryHearted 20 Posted May 4, 2008 If your current bra is uncomfortable or you're flopping around too much. I can't even fill out an A cup even at over 200 lbs. So it's hard for me to find a good bra anywhere, sports or otherwise. Manufacturers assume if you are plus size you also have big breasts. So there are lots of great sports bras out there for overweight women with D cups & up. I'm stuck with the uniboob look in a sports bra if I don't want my boobs hanging down by my belly button.

Period. Sports or otherwise. The only bra I like has stopped making DDD. I am hoping to be down to a DD soon so I can buy a new bra. But because my boos are always the first thing to get biger and the last thing to shrink I think I am stuck for a while. ugg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
