I just bought this one http://www.barenecessities.com/Nator...9_,search,.htm and after a few WO, I like it, it is absorbant, no uniboob. I did have to go up a back size becuse there is o give in the band.

I use to do the double bra for ridding, but I think there are much better choices out there now

I own a "frog bra" from title9 and I like it alot. It takes me down to a bust of 92 cm.

The best that I've found is the Natori Sport, you can see an image of it at the Natori website, although you can't order it there as they don't even sell the bra thru their site, just a picture showing the difference between it and the standard uniboob squashsport bras.

I just checked Nordstrom's and Amazon and the largest it comes in is a 40DDD/E, but a little suggestion here:

If you have not been professionally fitted for a bra, do so. I've been wearing 38B (uncomfortably I might add) for a long time and was fitted a month ago...turns out I'm a 36D. The new bras have virtually eliminated back pain I was having, my bra straps no longer slip off my shoulders all the time and the back strap no longer rides high up on my back. In addition it makes me LOOK better.

Good luck!

Sports bra review: Champion Powerback underwire

Pros: Good support. Good wicking. Racerback (hard to find in my size range).
Cons: Straps don't adjust enough (I'm of average height, and they don't go short enough for me). Ridiculously difficult to get into.

I wear around a 34F/32FF (narrow back, big breasts) and I'm a runner.

Just bought two of the Champion Triple Threat underwire sports bras from Title Nine and I love them for running. I ordered them online in my usual bra size (36C). They fit perfectly and don't get soggy when I run. A little price at $40 each but well worth it after tons of other failed tries : )

I found one called "NATORI" it has been the best work out bra I have ever invested in. it cost me 48.00, and to find one in my size it was a real gem.
I wear a 40DD and it really keeps me snug, and if you lose weight you can adjust it, I tried a adaias one and the fabric was so flimsy.

I had found it at Dillards. I hope they continue there products as I only found one.

The Natori is available online...I have one too, not much give in the back so great for cardio but tough for golf and movement activities.

Hello, I was just wondering if any super big-breasted ladies here had any more suggestions about sports bra. I'd heard about Enell months ago and tried them (not the custom kind to be fair) and that was not at all successful. I wear a 42J bra regularly and I have some fabulous normal bras but have been having issues finding sports bras. I'm trying to get into running because in every good dream I have I'm running but everytime I want to go, there's so little incentive because I have to wear 4 (yes count them, 4) bras in order to have any staying power. I wear one regular bra (to control the boobs so they can fit into the next step), then 2 DDD sports bras with separate support, then one compressor XXL bra to go over the whole thing, and then I wear a t-shirt on top. And that's just to get some semblance of control over the bounce (because without this, I'm bounced into breathless agony within a minute). It's ridiculous and sometimes I just don't feel like dealing with all those bras and it gives me an excuse not to go. I've checked some of the earlier suggestions and most go up to G which doesn't work too well; anything from an H should be fine, I can manage a 44H for example. So if there are any H or above ladies, I'm just wondering what you do/use or how you cope, I guess...

I am a UK 36 G/GG (think US sizes are different). I have a Shock Absorber sports bra which is wonderful - not underwired (hooray!) - but still keeps them up, separate and secure! Only problem is I now need a smaller one!

:bubbles:

I have the first bra mentioned in the OP (the Shock Absorber). I bought mine (new) off of E-bay, as I couldn't afford the full price. I followed the directions on the Shock Absorber website to measure for my size, since there isn't a store in my area that carries them and could measure me.

I ordered the size my measurements indicated, and it's ridiculously large on me. I usually wear a 36 or 38 DD. This one is a 36F. The cups are large, but the band size is HUGE!!! It's like wearing a size 40. I have the straps reduced to their absolute shortest length, and they are still way too large. I have the band set to it's smallest size, and it's not even snug against my skin. The cost is way too high for me to afford purchasing another, and since I bought it from an E-bay seller, I couldn't return it for an exchange.

Anyways, I just wanted to put in my $0.02 and say that, in my experience, these bras do NOT run small at all. They seem to run very large, at least in terms of band size. My measurements, taken exactly according to the instructions on the Shock Absorber website, showed that the size I ordered should have been almost too tight for me, but it's actually way too big. So I'd recommend only buying this product if you can try it on first and get measured by someone who deals in these bras and can help you find the right fit. :)

Through a colleague of mine I came to Bravissimo. You can find them on the internet.
They sell bras and sports Bras in sizes up to, I think, K cup.
I'm a 38FF/G and I found a perfect one there, I love it!

My new favorite sportsbra....

Anita Extreme Control Bra model# 5527

I have NEVER had a bra hold me this still. I am a 32DD and to find that ACTUAL combo in a good sportsbra is amazing.

buttons77 08-20-2010 03:02 PM

I swear by the Enell....I feel like I don't have my 38GGs.....NEVER have I been able to say that. I think it's all about your shape and what you do for working out....

Paramedic 09-09-2010 11:31 PM

I'm thinking about getting an Enell, as my previous sports bra doesn't really do much or me anymore, save cause me a fair amount of discomfort.

Anyone else have any good experiences with the Enell sports bra?

ennay 09-10-2010 01:06 AM

Paramedic - Enells do not fit me or support me at ALL. Because they have no strap length adjustment if you are at all short through the upper torso they often dont fit. Also if you have an unusual bra size they often dont fit. I am a 32DD and the enell for 32's doesnt even close over the girls and the one that closes is so loose in the band it is less use than my dailywear bra.

Dont buy without trying them on.

djs06 05-25-2011 12:48 PM

I have to say, I watched this thread for awhile- and I found a GREAT sports bra- the Moving Comfort Maia- a few here recommended it, but I was skeptical, because I just can't seem to keep the girls in place! But this thing is amazing. It has two bras built in so I don't have to hook on two or three bras like I used to. And I got it from an ebay store that literally came to my house within 2 days, free shipping and cheaper, so check ebay first!

The Anita bra recommended above is very good, too!

Has anyone tried Old Navy's "Goga" sports bras? They work pretty well for being a cheaper brand. I'm not tiny and they hold me in well :)

fitmom 07-08-2011 10:01 AM

IDK if this has already been posted but for me the best sports bra on the market - hands down IMO is: Tekgear. They have a racer-back style and hold you in like nobody's business. And as a runner, even though I'm a size 34C I still need the support. They are in the drifit fabric so they keep you cool and dry. Also, they come in the standard black and white but also "fun" colors and patterns so you can wear it alone as well. I love them. :)
