Question:
Are there any sportbras specifically made to support women with large chests?
I wear a D-Cup and it seems like no matter what kind of sportsbra I wear, whenever I work out my chest isn't supported very well.
It makes me feel self-conscious because the gym and track that I use are coed.
I've tried wearing two bras or bras that are too small hoping that the tightness would keep me still, but neither have worked.
Answers:
Yes! They're very hard to find in stores, but they exist in catalogues and online.
There are two ways to go. The sports bra that looks like a knit exercise top is not going to work for a D cup or larger. There's simply too much mass in motion for it to control.
Champion makes sports bras for D and DD figures, claiming they're good for running. Some sort of mimic the knit-top look while hiding a serious bra in there. Once in a while you see one at a large sporting goods store like Dick's, but almost never in your size, naturally!
The other way to go is with what my family calls a "nun bra" (no offense to nuns intended), a very plain bra with non-stretch components. Cups and straps are non-stretch, and the back stretched only a little. We find these at specialty lingerie stores, not department or discount stores.
A bra that truly supports a D cup during exercise is going to cost at least $30 and more probably closer to $40, BTW.
A fast look at the Champion site showed two. Look around for more.
