Working out can be a pain in itself, but for someone trying to exercise with large breasts, that pain is real. If your anything like me, you know how hard it is to find a GOOD sports bra that will hold your girls down! I think I've tried every trick in the book. Multiple layers of crappy bras - nothing says comfort like wearing 3 sports bras! A regular bra under a sports bra. Smaller bra in hopes it would be tighter. Duct tape. Yeah....I'm not even gonna go there. And you shouldn't either. It just doesn't work. At. All. After that incident, I decided to bite the bullet and get an expensive one. This was my first purchase.
This is an Enell. Everyone who had one raved about it and the reviews online were full of praise. The website claims this bra (approximately $65) provides strap and back comfort, movement control, secure closure, moisture wicking and secure fit. I found all to be true. The hook and eye closures were surprising comforting and controlling at the same time. I stay dry and the over all fit is mostly secure. I have only a few issues with this bra is that the straps are not adjustable. I've got a short torso so the fit is still not quite right. If I could shorten the straps a few inches it would be a perfect fit. The hook and eye closing is not adjustable. So as you lose weight, your bra can not be made tighter. I also found the sizing to be a bit confusing. I ended up purchasing this from Dick's Sporting Goods so that I could try it on and find the perfect fit. I use this bra for lifting, yoga, and other non bouncing activities.
My second purchase was by the company Moving Comfort. I love this bra and the company. The company boasts hook and loop straps, compression, limited stretching, and adjustable back. This is one of my favorites. The straps stay strong, I don't bounce much and the bra itself is extremely comfortable. I honestly can't think of anything I don't like about this bra. It fits me well and it does it's job. It was also reasonably priced at $45-$50. I also find that this is a pretty popular brand and can be found at many sporting good stores. I can do pretty much any activity in the bra, to include running and jumping.
Ahhhh.....the Shock Absorber! This is, by far, the best sports bra I have ever used. At $65-$70 it's also the most expensive. The company claims that these bras reduce the movement of breasts during activity by 74%. The bra's also contain molding and support, adjustable straps, and moisture wicking properties. This company also has the largest selection of sizes, all the way up to HHH! I can't say enough good things about this bra. It's my favorite to run in. It's comfortable and does the job. It's worth every penny and I recommend this bra to every one. I've been using this for almost 3 years and it still works great! Not many bra's can last without losing comfort. I recommend shopping around for this one as you can often find decent deals.
There you have it - 3 better-than-duct-tape sports bras! I highly recommend trying them on in stores first. Even if you have a better deal online you can at least find your best fit. When you try it on - jump, bend over, twist - just move! You want to make sure the bra is snug no matter what position your in.
Have a sports bra you love that I didn't review? Post about it below! I am always wanting to try out new gear!
