View Full Version : Best athletic bras

I am looking to invest in a few new athletic bras. Right now I have a few Champions. Usually when I run I end up wearing 2 very tight ones, and it is not a comfortable situation. So I was wondering: are any newer ones out there that keep things from moving and feel comfortable? With all the engineering marvels and capabilities today there must be something better than what I've seen :eek:

Hmm... I am not "well endowed" by any means. i find I do like the St. John's Bay ( JC Penney brand) sports bras. And I also have some from Everlast Boxing that I like. But I don't have many issues anyway. Through exercise and diet, I managed to get my bodyfat down to low levels, and unfortunately, the chest went also. :rolleyes:

I use Hanes - got them at Target, seem to work pretty well. But I, also, am not largely endowed.
There are a couple on the Hanes website that look like they might work OK for women with larger chests. (http://www.hanes.com/HanesCommerce/en-US/Products/Default.htm?CatalogNavigationBreadCrumbs=HanesCata log;Women;Women_ByCategory;Women_Bras;Women_Bras_S port&CanBuy=True)

I've had some before that were meant more for support and had snaps, etc, but they got really uncomfortable working out.

There also appears to be a large selection of sports bras here (http://www.title9sports.com/jump.jsp?itemType=CATEGORY&itemID=4).

I like the ones Champion makes... I have D cups and find that the small sports bras by Champion hold me in quite nicely and they are comfortable. I only have one at this point but I'm going back to Target to buy more soon. They are not the cheapest... but boy are they comfy :D

I'm using "BODY form" bras. They create a minimising effect which helps keep things in place. They also close on the back, and not in the frunt like most sport bras.

I have a few of these, too :) I like them for most things I do but can't run well in them :(

I am going to go to Sports Authority and a few other places this weekend and check out some of these suggestions (thanks to all who mentioned ideas). I also saw this website (http://www.enell.com/) - I wonder if anyone has tried them? At $56 it had better be good :eek:

Shock Absorber Impact 3 or 4 with a Shock Absorber Crop Top over (running and such). There is nothing like it out there and they are even comfortable. I'd advise you to buy a cross back.

Wow, these look hardcore! I'll try to get my hands on one and check it out.

Thanks again, everyone! :)

I'm pretty sure you can find some pictures of ladies in bras on the Internet without us supplying them :gl: .

Wanted to update everyone on this. I ordered a Shock Absorber Level 3 from the UK and got it last week. It's awesome (thanks for the recommendation!) I can jump up and down with a lot less movement. I think for running I may try the level 4, and I am certainly going to pick up a few more of these. It's also very comfortable. I wore this one as a "minimizer" to work and it felt great all day :spaz:

Their frog bra is the only bra I can comfortably run in.
