Supportive Pole Bras
Hi everyone! I’ve bought lots of pole shorts but really want a matching set. There are loads of great brands and colour choices but as most have to be purchased online, I was hoping to get some advice. I currently wear a UK 32 F bra so need support. Which brands/styles do you think would be most suitable?

Hey there!
I did actually make a huge post about women with larger breasts, and the needs of them, when poling, but sadly I can’t find it right now (argh!)
When it comes to ladies like us (I wear a 34 I or a 36 H, depending on the bra), we really need those things locked in, and most “pole bras” or sport tops are NOT going to do it. They aren’t made for ladies like us, especially those in the small-ribcage, big-boobs range. Frustrating, I know!
Best recommendation would be to find a sports bra that you like. As you’re in the UK, you have access to some of the brands that I’ve only dreamed of, out here in Canada, so take advantage of that! Sports bras can be found with both wires, and unwired varieties, as well as multiple colours, and black, and white…
There are options for us, they just… may not look quite the same as for ladies with itty bitty bits. -
Yes I did search the forums quite thoroughly before posting. I currently have a few nice Nike bras but I’m desperate for a matching set. Some of the DragonFly range looks very similar to Nike in cut (high cut, thick straps etc) Just curious if the fabric is firm and supportive.

I had looked into the DragonFly brand as well, but unfortunately I’ve got issues with their sizing, as well as the straps.
Most of the bras seem to have strappy backs, and while that is nice for those who sweat on the back a lot, it’s not nice for the boobs, or for those things pressing really hard into the skin. Not really going to provide much support there for making sure things are, as my sister says, “locked and loaded.”
And, for the sizes, you need to remember that these bras are not adjustable, there are no hooks, it’s all just elastic. Going up to an XL because of your bust size is going to bring the band underneath up in size as well, so it likely won’t help you for any kind of support. And, if by some miracle you find one that supports and fits under the bust… it’s gonna be HELLA hard to get off. I’ve tried, seriously. It’s a struggle for like, 15 minutes.
I have honestly never had any luck with those kinds of sports bras. I need something fitted to my actual bra size.
I understand the wish for something that matches, but it may be easier to find shorts that match your sports bras, rather than the other way around! -
A girl at my gym has a pole wear company called Polerform and her stuff is great. She created her company because she was having trouble finding bras for a large chest that were practical for pole and also cute. She has an etsy page and a Facebook page. https://m.etsy.com/shop/PolerForm
She will customize her items to suit your needs and measurements. She also does custom orders for competition/performance wear. I highly recommend her and so many girls at my gym (especially the bustier ones) love how secure they feel in her tops!

I get what you’re saying on the whole Runemist. I guess I am looking for somebody to tell me the exception to the rule. I wouldn’t say we have the exact same needs as I do not wear an adjustable bra currently. Nike pro bras in medium fit me perfectly! I am essentially looking for something the same fit and style as Nike but in more sexy/feminine prints/colours with a matching short. Although some dragonfly bras are strappy, they do have one called “Sporty” which is cut perfectly. However as the material plays a large part in compression, I’m skeptical about taking the plunge without hearing other people’s experiences and recommendations. Sbrekke’s link is very much what I’m looking for really… Possibilities!!!
