Finding a Good Sports Bra

This is a topic I think frustrates women so much. We all want to get in shape, but if your boobs bounce and hurt, it’s just more trouble than it is worth. Finding a good sports bra is crucial.

After hunting around, I’ve found a good video that shows how a sports bra is supposed to fit. Now let me tell you, I know this video shows off a woman who has tiny little boobs and has no issue finding a sports bra. The video *is* good, however, in showing you how a bra should fit.

OK. What about women with BIG BOOBS?

OK, so skinny people have no issues finding bras, but what about the rest of the population? If you are larger than a C cup — and most women are — this skinny people type of bra doesn’t work for you. I know many women who put on 2 bras hoping to cure the bounce problem.

The issue with wearing 2 bras is that you can’t breathe. And you don’t get that much more support. I actually saw a program on the Discovery channel that showed a scientist who studied nothing but sports bra design (who knew..?) and the best bra for the larger busted women actually had an underwire and looked something like this:

Notice there is an underwire and a seam through the cup. It’s also got wide straps in the shoulders so the bra doesn’t dig into you. Link to actual bra here.

I have to say, Freshpair.com is probably the best bra buying site I’ve ever found. They have more combinations of bra sizes than I’ve ever seen. Every combination from 30A to 52N. Their prices are a little on the expensive side, but if you can find a bra that fits, then it’s worth it.
