Sports bra suggestions?
I just realized yesterday that I've never actually owned a sports bra. *L* I know that if I'm going to start jogging/running, I'm going to need one (and really, I should have had one before now, because even though I'm not fully into jogging/running yet, I still walk at a fast enough clip that by the time I come back home I'm sweating like you would not believe.)
The thing is, though, I'm what stores euphemistically call "full-figured" in the chest area (40D). I have a feeling I'll have a **** of a time trying to find one that's A) comfortable) and B) effective. I'd like to get a racerback one if I can. Plus, my shopping options here are limited; it's a small town and the only major store we have here is Wal-Mart. Bah.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to which type of sports bra would be good for power walking/jogging/running? I'd really appreciate any tips.
I am a 36D and I have been fine with the C9 by Champion bras I get at Target. They make a high impact, a compression, and a regular sports bra. All are under 20$ and they come in really fun colors too.
If you need more support these are supposed to be among the best out there:
Snoofie Oh, girl, I know what you mean! I'm a 38DD. I even have a hard time finding bras at Victoria's Secret for cripes sake!
One bra that I had a really good experience with (before moving up to a DD - unfortunately, they only go up to D cup) was a Danskin Now bra from Walmart. It really held the girls inside the bra through my workout routine, which included 30 minutes on the elliptical machine and 45-60 minutes weight training. It's also supportive... Heck, I couldn't even tell I was wearing a sports bra instead of a regular bra. Plus, it's only $11.94!
Once I grew out of that bra, I went to some really crappy bras that provide hardly any support. I layer two of them, and they still suck. I've got a killer workout plan for August, so I've promised myself that if I make it through I'll invest in a nice supportive Nike bra ($20-$50, ouch!).

Oooh, I'll have to go to WalMart tomorrow and see if I can find one of those. I really don't want to have to spend, like, fifty bucks on a bra if I don't have to....I just spent over $150 replacing all my bras that got too big.
