Trilliums Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I have been looking for a super supportive bra for jogging. Any suggestions for those with larger b00ks? The ones designed for extra support tend to have a lot of fabric along the back which hurts my back. I am beginning to wonder if I should bind them with a sheet---just to prevent the jiggling which is painful. I am afraid to google anything along those lines though; who knows what kind of hits I will get! Looking at something like this: http://www.amazon.com/CW-X-Womens-Xtra-Support-Running/dp/B001GAPYWC but wow, what a price tag. Hard to justify spending that much without being able to try it on first. Anyone know of stores that sell bras like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristyB in TN Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Titlenine.com is my go to store for attire and my friends with big books have found what they needed there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trilliums Posted June 10, 2012 Author Share Posted June 10, 2012 I love this quote from their website: " Our first-ever 5-barbell-rated bra ain't pretty, but our testers say it completely eliminates bounce. Literally, you won't move, and that's a beautiful thing" Could it be true?? I even found a local seller for the enell brand. THANK YOU!

vettechmomof2 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I only buy through Title nine. I have the Last Resort bra and the Athena bra. The Athen bra are my every day wear for karate/kickboxing and life. The Last resort bra is when I am feeling bloated from pms and just feel like I need something extra.

ChristyB in TN Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 You are so welcome! I am happy you found what you needed. :) I am an addict, I'm afraid. Their dresses are all I wear in the summer and I love the yoga tops. Welcome to my addiction. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abbeyej Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Freya sports bras made ALL the difference in my ability to run and enjoy (okay, sort of -- running is still awful, lol) the experience. I love, love, love them. Yes, they're a little expensive (I do keep an eye out for sales and discounts), but they're absolutely worth it. http://www.barenecessities.com/Freya-Sports-Bras-Bras_catalog_nxs,31,vendor,750,style,31.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Wife Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Enell sports bras are the only things that work for me during pregnancy and nursing when I get up to a 40G. Horribly ugly but works for even the most high-impact activities like jogging & using the rebounder. Normally I'm a 36C/34D depending on the brand and I can usually get by with this bra that is much better looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fraidycat Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I love my Enell. It's awesome and worth every penny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trilliums Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 Thank you all! I am going to take the plunge on an enell. I actually don't think they are ugly at all. They do make me think of fortresses for your b00ks though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeganCupcake Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Yep, Enell here. Nothing else comes close. I have two that I've had for years in my pre-pregnancy size, which I hope to achieve again someday! They last a long time if you take care of them (line dry, etc.).

Classical Country Mama Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Freya sports bras made ALL the difference in my ability to run and enjoy (okay, sort of -- running is still awful, lol) the experience.

Oh wait. Reverse that. Freya is a HUGE SUPPORTER of me. :D My first non-brand sports bOOkcase was a miserable 42 Triple D (which didn't fit) a year and a half ago. After 30 Day Shred and a couple months of ChaLean Extreme, I got demoted to a 36H Freya and fell in love. Now I'm in a 34H Freya, baby, and there's no going back!!! Freya for sports (I'm an avid runner, and I can vouch for their holding things in place) and Chantelle for daily wear. I got both of mine from Nordstrom because of their fabulous, um, personalized bOOkcaseseller? And yes, they had these sizes in stock.

abbeyej Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I... Freya for sports ... and Chantelle for daily wear... Yep! I love Chantelle too! For not-running. Freya for running. I've tried other things and never been as happy as I am with my "industrial reinforced steel bookcase", as I like to think of my Freya sports underwire. :) I've also come to love Prima Donna for special occasion wear. Who knew that I could have *pretty* and supportive bras?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
