I have the Freya underwire sports bra and it is amazing! They also have a non-wired version which seems to be also well-received. Regular bras do not wick moisture or move as well on your body.Mirandanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079717797619018724.post-73642185093452700132011-10-30T11:54:16.438-07:002011-10-30T11:54:16.438-07:00I recommend Title 9, a women's sports store fo...I recommend Title 9, a women's sports store for well fitting sports bras in a huge range of sizes! I went to my local store front, and the women there were so helpful! They had me try on everything from a 34D to a 30E until I found something that fit right for the support I need. They were patient, knowledgeable, and I couldn't be happier! I'll often layer a cute "smooshy uniboob" bra over an underwire sports bra purely for looks.

I recently discovered your site and the whole new world of bra sizing, and ordered a bunch of bras. Using your sizing chart, I am a 32JJ, and I ordered two Panache bras (regular) and a Royce sports bra. I was able to find a relatively large variety of regular bras in my size, but only this one sports bra. The problem I found after I tried it on, though, is that the band is way too small. The Panache bras seem to fit well, but I could not even get the sports bra hooked! I measured the length of each bra (casually, and not stretched at all), and the Panache bras seem to be around 28 inches long, while the sports bra was approximately 23 inches long. Unless it's a problem with this brand, then, I'm thinking I need some sort of a different size when it comes to sports bras. Do you have any advice for adjusting my size accordingly? Thank you so much!dressageponyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18033621363188670243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079717797619018724.post-77363625994184379942011-06-21T17:58:00.209-07:002011-06-21T17:58:00.209-07:00Normally i just buy a large or extra large sports ...Normally i just buy a large or extra large sports bra and i wear it over a full cup bra.Angelanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079717797619018724.post-3421598827104229122011-05-30T03:50:36.817-07:002011-05-30T03:50:36.817-07:00I can't seem to remember where I saw this, but...I can't seem to remember where I saw this, but an article somewhere found that bras with separate cups were actually better than plain compression-style bras because they protected in more directions.

People always say the shape is unnatural, but it actually gives me a nice silhouette (as a 32ff/30g!)and cannot be beat in terms of support and comfort. The shock absorber bands run tight (which can be good in a sports bra), and I couldn't get over the smushed feeling, though it's worlds better than conventional sports bras.Katenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079717797619018724.post-77053560666072839392011-05-18T23:33:04.433-07:002011-05-18T23:33:04.433-07:00I've never had an underwired sports bra... I h...I've never had an underwired sports bra... I have one Shock Absorber and an old M&S. I really use only the first, even though I stupidly got a band too tight (what was I thinking? I know, it was eBay, and I bid...) Fortunately after a year it's loosened a bit, though still the first moments are difficult. However, since I really only use it for horseriding now & I've noticed the body protector I always use does more or less the same job (ie. squashes and stops everything moving), I sometimes ride in everyday bras, although only full-cup/balconette types, which normally offer a lot of support.ptasiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00666019708324008621noreply@blogger.com
