Well, it looks like today I have to go shopping for a new sports bra. I had to skip my walk this morning becuase last night my bra chafed under "the girls" and by the time I got back from running, I had two BLEEDING welts and each welt is about 4 inches long. It is incredibly painful! My bra is maybe 3 months old. Ugh. I tried to put on a regular bra this morning- OUCH!!!

Owwwwww that must hurt!

I actually said "ouch" out loud! Boo. And OUCH!

That was seriously disgusting. Today I wore an undershirt under my new bra and all was well. The welts are all scabbed over and gnarly, though. YUCK.

Ouch and Gross!

Does anyone know of a good sports bra for larger ladies that does not give a uni-boob?

There is a GREAT sticky about sports bras in the exercise forum. I came here and read that after my... um... "episode".

I've always had the worst luck with sports bras. They are either too big or too small and the difference between what is considered large is appalling. I can't work out if there is the slightest bit of bounce and so I buy about 9 of them when I find a brand and size I like. Had to give up the old ones from the last time I was skinny. Still, you'd think with a market like women trying to lose weight, there'd be quality, affordable material out there. :/

I know a lot of people swear by the Enell sports bra, but I bought one and hated it, had to send it back. It was like a snug vest; there wasn't anywhere to actually put my boobs if that makes sense.

I'm a 34G, so that's part of the problem. So I double up. I bought a Freya underwire, like this one: http://tinyurl.com/263pmae

and then to further minimize the bounce, I pull a tight, stretchy Champion bra over the top of that. Locked and loaded, baby, those girls aren't going ANYWHERE. The Freya wasn't cheap, but I simply have to have something firm and supportive if I'm going to run and those silly little stretchy pull-on bras aren't supportive enough to wear around the house, let alone exercise in. Not for us girls with a lot on top, anyway!
