I'm small chested, so I don't need all that much support and have to buy small sizes, but I do have a wide rib cage (think ex-swimmer) and too tight bands impede deep breathing and therefore performance. Besides being uncomfortable and annoying, of course.</p> <p>I sometimes use (athletic) swimwear tops instead of sports bras, because they keep everything in place and cover nipples, but are more comfortable than an average sports bra.</p> <p>Hopefully your guide will help me find something more suitable . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-about-your-favourite-sports-bras/page/3#post-1799398 Tue, 18 Apr 2017 15:20:19 +0000 Liz 1799398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Ryce, you can click on the gear wheel below the post to report and remove spam, and make the marketing bot magically disappear. : ) (I did that for the one on this thread.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-about-your-favourite-sports-bras/page/3#post-1799390 Tue, 18 Apr 2017 14:53:43 +0000 Anonymous 1799390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SO annoying when a marketing bot revives a. 2-year old thread for the purpose of shiling for some random brand.

I don't do a lot of high impact but do need more support than a normal bra.&nbsp;I prefer a more 'real bra' style and would love more choices in nude since I hate seeing my bra (even sports bra) through clothing. I currently have the Freya (in black) and the wacaol (in nude). They are good (albeit costly). My idea bra would be nude, have separate cups, underwire, not be racerback and not have enormous thick straps.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-about-your-favourite-sports-bras/page/3#post-1422624 Sun, 11 Jan 2015 13:18:35 +0000 chadya 1422624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/donna-karan-intimates-35137-underwire-sports-bra/2764868" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/do.....ra/2764868</a></p> <p>This one, have worn this style for years, comfortable, supports and give me a nice shape.

Looks like there's something fishy going on inside my bra, so I decided that the nips are gonna do what the nips are gonna do. My 2014 theory is if your looking at a woman's chest at the gym, don't expect it to be photoshop perfect! We have nipples, they do what they do. I don't even think I'm embarrassed about it anymore. I go for the workout and will gladly and not so politely tell folks where they can go if I'm apprehended about them LOL! But could you imagine??

This is similar to the Enell I had, also in white, to go under a white tennis top: <a href="http://www.herroom.com/enell-100-sports-bra.shtml" rel="nofollow">http://www.herroom.com/enell-100-sports-bra.shtml</a></p> <p>Yes, it snaps down the front, no other way to get it on. Yes, it is a bit like a straight jacket, but once you pass DD, and you want to play something like tennis, I needed it to keep the girls from hurting.</p> <p>The moving comfort was okay, but not as good as Enell. Of the two, I would recommend Enell for high impact sports.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-about-your-favourite-sports-bras/page/2#post-1421624 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 19:24:37 +0000 Thistle 1421624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For regular workouts, I use Elomi's sport's bra in nude. No monoboob and comfortable, but it does have underwires. </p> <p>A few years back, before children and when I had time to play tennis, I opted for either Enell or Moving Comfort. But these are geared towards high impact activities and are definitely "compressing" bras. But with the sprinting involved in tennis, it was what I needed.</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-about-your-favourite-sports-bras/page/2#post-1421617 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 19:11:28 +0000 Elizabeth P 1421617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, thanks to this thread, I did some googling and discovered that the Moving Comfort Fiona is sold at Mountain Equipment Co-op, which just happens to be a block from me, and some colours are on clearance for $35!&nbsp; So guess what's going home with me today :).&nbsp; Thanks all!</p> <p>For those of you that love this... do you not find you get an issue with... ahem... the nips?&nbsp; I dislike having to deal with the (re)movable pad things that Lulu uses, but the fabric on these does seem a little thin in that area.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-about-your-favourite-sports-bras/page/2#post-1421442 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 15:17:32 +0000 catgirl 1421442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is it bad that I read this as "Favorite Sports Bars"?&nbsp; :D</p> <p>I have three, I think from Title 9.&nbsp; None are wearable without a top, sadly, even when I had a body that could be shown to the world.&nbsp; I think one is the Fiona but with my small frame I find it gives me monoboob.&nbsp; I will have to check the brand of my favorite one, which has truly separated cups and some kind of sling contraption within.&nbsp; I'm a busty runner/hiker and I need real support.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-to-me-about-your-favourite-sports-bras/page/2#post-1421432 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 14:55:01 +0000 Von 1421432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've missed the main convo, but here to put in another vote for Moving Comfort Fiona bra.&nbsp; Hands down, best bra for me for running and other jiggle intensive sports.&nbsp; I'm ranging between a DDD, E, and F and I get the DD-DDD Fiona and it works surprisingly well.&nbsp; I've tried the Panache bra (the racerback) and for the price, Moving Comfort still wins, despite the fact Fiona doesn't come as a racerback.&nbsp; I have decided to not give a flip and let my bra straps show.
