Sportsbras!
OK, so if you’re a small-breasted woman, this thread is going to make no sense to you.
But I just had to share my joy with the others who are amply endowed out there.
I am a small person–size 4. However, I was "blessed" with a 32/4 DD chest. As a result, I have never run or done any other vigorous athletics (before pole.) I’ve never owned a sportsbra before because I didn’t want my breasts compressed in that hot, uncomfy tube of fabric.
Advanced pole work has been challenging in that I have to flip my shirt up and down all the time to expose belly skin.
So last weekend, I ventured into the Champion store. Lo and behold, they make sportsbras up to sizes way bigger than I am. And the bras are great–they have a real underwire bra inside what looks like a cut-off tight tank top. So they provide lots of support, but also look really nice and presentable.
Last night I spent 3 hours practicing with Fleur, teaching a class, and taking a class. My new bra worked great! It was so comfy, and I was really happy to be able to take my shirt off and just DANCE!
Like I said, may seem silly to some. But this is pretty life-changing for me! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_compress.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_colors.gif -

Ooh. Nice.
I like most dualboob sports bras- from champion, I’m a big fan of the ones that look like t-shirt bras….
these ones!
http://www.championusa.com/Champion/Products/Women-Champion/Women_ShopByCategory-Champion/Women_SportsBras-Champion/Women_SportsBras_MaximumSupport-Champion/CH1694.aspxI own a bunch of the classic, regular uniboob style, but I just wear a regular bra under those.
….
SO.I know I sound like a huge pervert…. but I can’t imagine poling without the security of a sports bra. My boobs would fall onto my face and persist in smothering me. Do yours not jump out of the regular bra, or .. do you just let them roam free under your shirt and adjust them when you’re right side up?

Hahaha, you’re not a pervert! And no, my boobs have never roamed free in my adult life! I usually just wear a nice supportive smooth bra under a tank top. The bra fits well enough that the girls stay put when I invert. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
Never thought about wearing a regular bar under the uniboob style. But I am a dualboob convert for sure!

Yay I’m glad your found a great fit!! I where a regular bra under my sports bras sometimes, but its so they look bigger, and don’t get all smashed down like pancakes. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_pale.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

OMG, this IS life-changing! My old E Nell bras are wearing out, and although they keep the girls on a tight leash, they’re not very pretty when you need the skin in inverts. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif Thank you, ottersocks (LOVE your name, btw!), I’ll be looking this style up! Your geekness is very much appreciated. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif

You’re so welcome, poleophile! Here’s the link to the style I bought. Champion is having a huge sale right now!

I also have large breasts and have found a couple of products I love. For every day workouts I love this one:

For running and high intensity movement workouts I absolutely love this product:

Yay, thank you, thank you, thank you, girls!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_smurfin.gif
I’m also worried that a regular bra will let the girls jump out, or that the wires will poke me in the arm pit (sometimes the side of my boob gets in the way, and I’m not even inverting https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif ).
I usually live in my tie dyed cotton uniboob sports bras, they are cheap, comfy, colorful and upside-down proof, but not sexy https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_geek.gif
I was looking for something dualboob that looks nice (not like a grandma bra) and is available in 38 D https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cyclops_ani.gif
I will try one or two of the Champion ones, they can be returned if doesn’t fit https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gifI’d also like to share my favorite well-fitting and nice-looking bra top, from my belly dance wear supplier:
http://www.lrosedesigns.com/products/cholibra.htmlBecause the back is laced it fits perfectly and stays put, even for my D cups.
They custom make everything, so you can choose from a large variety of nice fabrics (cotton lycra, nylon, stretch velvet, metal, holographic…), it is well made, and with 18-20$ I find it rather affordable https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
The nylon version is the only bikini top I have that really fits (in my price range). They also have bikini bottoms and shorts to go with it. The only thing to be aware of is that an order can take 3-4 weeks because everything is custom made and they get plenty of orders. -
These look fab! Does anyone know of any good sports bras in the UK?

Bless you…. I’ve got 42 DD’s and can NEVER find a sports bra that I like. I’m not a huge fan of Uniboob. I’ll have to check out the Champion ones.
I usually wear Bali bras and a Tank top. (Bali concelers are the BEST ever.) But a sports bra would be nice if I ever get to the "bra only" stage.
Oh, and all you "endowed" girls that are looking for cute Bikinis. Both Lucky Jeans and Roxy Swimwear make D cup swimsuits. I can even get my girls into them. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I am soo excited about this!! I have been looking forever for one that doesnt make me have a uniboob!! I have had no luck finding a bra that would hold me in place when I’m at the gym doing cardio — mainly for the treadmill! I have ALWAYS hated running b/c of them!! I remember the girls making fun of me in softball when I was in like 6th-7th grade when I would be running the bases! From then on, I hated running!! Now anytime I go to the gym I wear a regular bra and a sports bra over it. It keeps me up and smooshed w/o looking completely horrible! But hey if it keeps the girls from bouncing, it’s worth it! I will def. check out the stores that sell Champion sportsbras! Thank’s for sharing!!
Love,
Rena
