I think it really depends on how large-chested you are. My friends can buy them from KMart and get the support they need. I am DD and I cannot do Kmart. The cheap sports bras still have me flopping around like a banshee. I got fitted for proper ones and they're expensive, but they keep me strapped in and supported

I recommed getting a good one, but that's coming from someone who's rather large - inbetween a D & DD right now. I know there is a thread around talking about sports bras & there were a lot of choices in a variety of price ranges to look for.

Good support is what you need, and that doesn't have to come at a high price. A fitting is a great idea.

I bought mine from Lane Bryant catalog...Or Just my Size...

It was only about 20 dollars and hold up really good.

I bought 2 at cosco for approx 20.00 total

they are great, and I'm a DD

I decided next week going to get my sports bras but will go get measured as i think changed cup sizes i use to be a d or dd, now maybe b??

I get mine from Kmart, its a Hestia brand one and costs $20! I have gone from a 22DD to a 12D. I've gotten the same style from when I was about a 16D, I've just stuck with it because it fits and feels good on. It definitely keeps everything in place when I'm running! I definitely think getting a sizing done is a good idea if you're not sure what size you are now. Maybe try Bras n Things, Myer or David Jones, they'll usually do a sizing for you for free :huh2:

Yep,i am in Australia, Perth, so will go to Myers to get sized and then can checkout target,kmart and bras and things.

I agree unless you are small, don't get a cheap one, it will hurt! Spend the exra money and know you will feel good running!

Ya know, i reckon as long as it holds those babies down you can buy one from any department store, especially if you get one of those crop top type ones without the cups.

lol to be honest they may well end up looking like ape boobs any way if you lose a lot of weight (dont mean to offend :-)

Bel *big smiles*

I'm also a DD...the weight is coming off, but the twins are holding their own!! LOL

I currently wear a "champion" that is made for DDs...but my favorite is "ENELL"...I first heard about them on Oprah...and now have two. They are pricey ($60.00)...but well worth the investment to me...the twins don't become "uni-boobs" and it holds them secure when I'm jumping and running...I workout, and it is PAIN-FREE!!!

If your current bra is uncomfortable or you're flopping around too much.

I can't even fill out an A cup even at over 200 lbs. So it's hard for me to find a good bra anywhere, sports or otherwise. Manufacturers assume if you are plus size you also have big breasts. So there are lots of great sports bras out there for overweight women with D cups & up.

I'm stuck with the uniboob look in a sports bra if I don't want my boobs hanging down by my belly button.

I love Enell!! Your correct, pricey - but I need the support & these lock the girls in.!!.

I have to disagree with this statement I am a DDD I have not been able to find lots of great bras. Period. Sports or otherwise. The only bra I like has stopped making DDD. I am hoping to be down to a DD soon so I can buy a new bra. But because my boos are always the first thing to get biger and the last thing to shrink I think I am stuck for a while. ugg
