Sports Bra Recommendations?

[Kittyblue]

I have some Puma Performance that are good for most of my workouts, but I've been giving running a try and there's too much bounce. Suggestions?

I use Lululemon and they have a variety of options for running. Mine have washed well again and again and kept their support and shape.

I couldn't workout without my Shefit it literally is a game changer. Plus I love that you get to try out your first size you order for up to 30 days and if it's the wrong fit you can exchange for free 1 time. I had to do that. Bonus you can swim in it. It's the only bra on the market that I've found that is adjustable in the band (how tight or loose), how the straps go (cross or normal) and how tight of a compression you want. I've only gone with the Ultimate though (which is the most support).

SHEFIT Ultimate Sports Bra is good for runners.

I might have to give this SHEFIT a try. I have yet to find a sports bra that holds the girls in place while running/jumping.

Several years ago, when I was into running, I bought all sorts of bras. Wasn't in the mood to spend a lot of money but didn't want to cheap out either. I bought several of them from Victoria Secret. To this day, they are my favorites and the girls do NOT move on me at all. Now, I'm not sure how well they do on very large busted women. They tend to run a bit small and I'm comfy in a 36D. What's more, the shape of them looks really good under any tight fitting shirt (so many of them don't). Honestly, I've worn them at times under I tight fitting sweater when I wanted to have a really smooth look around my sides and back. I don't wear them all the time because the compression is high and they might be a tad too tight for a 10-hour day (although I've done it).

That said, I haven't bought any in a few years so not sure if the ones they sell today are as good as what I have, but I was at the gym last week and wearing one thinking, I need to get back to VS and check out their bras again and get some new ones.

My current favorite sports bra is from Academy and is their store brand. Minimal bounce, the yoke isn't too hard on my neck or shoulders, and is fairly comfortable.

I prefer my Victoria Secret maximum support front zip sports bra when running.

I'm a total newbie, I'm doing an interval run/walk thing to see if I even like it. My knees aren't quite sure we're going to keep it up, I probably should've tried this 20 years ago

I don’t know how old you are, but I did the interval thing in my mid 40s. I actually liked it.

SHEFIT is the ticket. Everything about is adjustable. I am large up top but have a tiny rib cage and no shoulders. It is near impossible to find bras (especially sports bras) for that scenario but these you can adjust to exactly how you want them. I don’t run but they’ve served me well for cardio with plyo moves.

I prefer my Victoria Secret maximum support front zip sports bra when running.

That was one of the reasons I loved my Shefit. It zips in the front, has 2 hook and eye closures (which help when zipping up) and two cloth parts that you pull over the zipper parts which keep it from unzipping (IME). It took me a moment to put it on just because I wasn't used to front zip but getting it off is a breeze and when you're sweaty and icky struggling with getting a bra (any bra) off is so frustrating. I'd say front zip if you get the right support is a good way to go (whichever brand you get).

I have a short torso so straps have always been an issue for me (including normal bras). Some sports bras came with adjustable straps but they were usually so flimsy and the support was never good for me because there was usually no structure to the sports bra despite marketing as high impact and larger sizing (for bustier girls). I remember reading reviews for Shefit that people felt velcro just wouldn't hold up but it sure has, the velcro doesn't budge but is easy to adjust, is a thick one (so they didn't skimp on it) and hasn't lost its strength through washing (although 90% of the time I hand wash mine and then every now and then use a lingerie bag {haven't used the one they sent with it because I have my own} for the washer) and then lay flat to dry.

Oh those thin straps SMH. Seriously? What are we supposed to do with those? It’s so frustrating. You know women aren’t making these bras. That’s another good thing about SHEFIT, it was made by a woman and you can tell.

Also wanted to add that SHEFIT absolutely stands by their trial/return policy. I had zero problems exchanging.

49, so it sounds like there's some hope for me


I like the idea of a front zip. Mine are pullover and trying to get one off after a sweaty workout is like a whole other workout!
