Poling tops for the less well-endowed
Because I have a very flat chest but a downright gargantuan ribcage, I have a lot of trouble finding a top for poling that's comfortable and still flattering. I don't like to wear just a sports bra, for example, because it flattens me out even more and then my ribs are actually BIGGER than my chest (not a good look). I also don't like to wear just a regular bra (with padding, natch), since I don't feel very secure, and the combination of both bras is incredibly uncomfortable. Sometimes I wear a tank top and push it up so my stomach is exposed, but that often doesn't leave me with enough skin grip.
Does anyone know of any poling tops (or bras, or any solutions, really) that would solve this problem for me? My flat-chested sisters? Help!

Mika yoga wear has two very nice options I like to wear.

There are quite a few sports bras that have padding and are shaped so that they do not flatten you out. I am barely a B and have 2 styles from Danskin that I love. The first is

and I just got these this past week in blue and black:

Prior to finding these I always wore the fruit of the loom shirred front sports bras. I also recently saw some really cure ones at Kohl's but they were running in the $30 range. This one is particularly cute and I think would work better for smaller busts:

I have the same problem, Chumpchkin! My ribcage seems totally out of proportion to my chest. I have a few bra tops from lululemon, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend them because 1) they're expensive, and 2) the band is uncomforably tight. My go-to tops are ones from Bebe Sport. It's not a sports bra, but just a little top, almost. There's no padding, no wire, no nothin'. I got mine a few years back so I'm pretty sure the styles have changed but the matching boycut "panties" make up a great poling outfit. You might also want to check out Gapbody for the Essential Basic Bra. Good luck!

Yeah, I know the dilemma. I'm barely a AA. Might be a perky A. LOL I like the padded sports bras as well. The ones that Chemgoddess suggested, Danskin. Also I have found that many sports bras these days have the pocket where you can add or remove a padding. I actually went to the sewing store and purchased bra pads to add inside the sport bra. Gosh, I guess I just admitted I stuffed my bra. LOL Some things never change, even at 44 years old 🙂

dont know the exact website by the "handful" bra is amazing! i own all the colors!

i feel that "Bandeau Bras" are flattering to smaller busts. If you google that, you'll find all kinds of websites with them- I like the ones with straps and soft cups. There's no underwire and they stay put (don't ride up)
I have 3 and want to get more and possibly adorn them with costume jewels or silk flowers to make a fancy performance kind of top…
