female only A good sports bra for big breasts

[Gone4Now 4]

Okay, ladies...I need HELP.

I have large breasts, and at Lane Bryant I'm a 42E.

I have bought several bras to find a good one and haven't yet. (That Couch to 5K program is really paining me sometimes.)

I was thinking of researching the ones that the ladies on the Biggest Loser wear, but I checked and they're expensive.

Before buying one, I'd like to get feedback...and suggestions on a good bra? Has anyone tried the ENELL?

Hi ...I have big boobs too when I run I wear a tight minimizer bra and a tight sports bra over it... No movement at all and very comfortable to me..

Oh oh, someone on the forums a while back told me about some sports bra they swore by.. had to order it online because I think it came from the UK?? Anyway, it is THE BEST. No jostling, and it is extremely comfortable.

When I get home from work I'll find out the info and come back and post it.

[Daisalana 33]

Hah, after my post I googled Enell--that sounded familiar.

That's it! That's the one someone on forums recommended, and now I definitely recommend.

The sizing is weight loss friendly I have found too. I bought mine to fit me when I was a 46 DD, and I'm now a 38 D (well back to DD with pregnancy, but before pregnancy!) and it still fits and works great.

That's one thing I was worried about! But thanks! If I know it will stay with me a while on the weight loss, I'll invest.

I don't really know how to define a "good" sports bra, but if you ladies send me the pictures, I might have some recommendations.

Well plain, they're usually VERY sexy. Nothing slutty like lace or nipple show involved, much more classy. Think 4 hook back, inch thick straps, big fat seams over the cups, all in a fetching shade of beige.

I know you're drooling...

Thanks for ruining the mental image for me, Jac!

Yeah, my husband calls it my uniboob bra. Sports bras have the exact opposite of sex appeal :tt2:

[Gone4Now 4]

I hate the uniboob....I'm trying to avoid that at all costs!

[Daisalana 33]

Well, Enell does give me the uniboob. That's what works for me and sports bras!

I wouldn't wear it in public, I just use it for working out.

ha - dh calls the enell armor (with all the eye hooks) - say's it's my gladiator bra. i can't use anything else, they hold the girls down in place & they are NOT moving.:tt2:

[Gone4Now 4]

I can do the uni if it really doesn't hinder workout...

Can't really ask this nicely - what about sweat factor? Do the girls get sticky and gross? What about the fabric?

[Daisalana 33]

Uhm.. not sure about sticky and gross.. I think all of me is sticky and gross after working out, never paid special attention to the ladies to check out their gross factor. But I also shower after working out????

The fabric of mine is double ply satin.. and it does have a million eyelets going up the front, so it is easy to take off.

[Gone4Now 4]

Okay..I know working out = sticky and gross, everywhere. :sneaky:

But, I guess I'm thinking of the bras I wear now, which are NOT made for me at all. I practically have to peel it off and I hate them.

If I'm going to hate something that much more expensive, I'll stick to the sucky ones I have now.

But, I don't think I'll get that with the Enell...sounds like you're happy with it, so I'm willing to give it a shot....

Thank you.
