sports bra question

[Scandia]

I don't like the Victoria's Secret ones at all. They are not comfortable.

All I wear are sports bras. The back closure ones I buy at Sears and they do make it up to a DD cup IIRC. The T-back ones I buy at Target. I get the Medium size, which corresponds to a 36C.

I'm on that page now and may be ordering soon. Looks like I'll have to go on the 3 Barbell ones- I don't think I have been anything under a C-cup since 10th grade.

I am a DD, and I find Hanes sports bras w/spaghetti straps are THE MOST COMFORTABLE things ever....and they hold up like crazy. I actually found that they support better though if you go a cup size smaller then what you actually wear, and they still don't smash like a lot of other ones do.

Really? Usually thin straps dig into my shoulders way too much.

And for the back-hook sports bras, I buy them 36D instead of 36C because I like how the D ones fit better.

Ummm, why? 36C really isn't that big, and there are a lot of great bras in that size, which is probably one of the most common.

I bought one from titlenine a while ago. it's comfy enough and works well for me at the gym. look at it this way, I am a 42D and I can do the eliptical machine with it on

I like the Lunaire sports bra. It works well and it goes up to size 46DDD. Plus it's reasonably priced.

Agreed. Have you ever been properly fitted for a bra? You may find regular bras uncomfortable because you're not wearing the right size. The correct size may surprise you.
