Question for the ladies
Anyone have any suggestions on some sort of body suit I can be wearing under my clothes to keep my chest and stomach flappage to a minimum while running? It's starting to annoy me. I want something that's attached to the bra- similar to a one piece swimsuit in structure or something. I see all these tank tops with bras connected but they don't seem very supportive around the stomach.
Price doesn't really matter. I just need something that will actually work.
Thanks for your help!

Are you wearing a good sports bra?? I have found that I am not so jiggly when I wear my sports bra (I wear champion underwear - I am a 34 D - my girls do not move when I run or dance - check out the website - all bras are $19.99). If the girls are secure, the rest of my middle seems to behave.
I would start with a very supportive sports bra and see if that helps.
Good luck!!

I absolutely love my Enell bras. They are pricey at $60 a pop, but I've found some on ebay a little cheaper. If you are well-endowed, these are the way to go for sure.
I have found, at Academy sports that their Maia style in Moving Comfort sports bras are pretty good too. I wear these for cycling. they come up a little higher in the front, and don't have a deep scoop. This picture looks strange, but these are my second favorite and for half the price.

Hi, Kate, I have a very similar question!! My belly and legs are my issue, so I need a supportive lower-type garment.
I've been searching "compression garments" via Google... they're pretty expensive, but since they're made for post-plastic surgery compression, I'm sure they'd be crazy supportive.
I'm also wondering if body-shaping type things would work. Like Spanx. I don't know.
Let me know if you find something that works for you... running sure would be easier without so much floppage!

Hey Kate,
The flappage bothers me a lot as well. My favorite tops to run in are triathlon tops. I wear a good sports bra underneath (I wear the Hind Motion Sensor) and a tri top with a shelf bra. The tri tops are compression tops and they really do help, but they cost about $70 in the stores and you have to buy them to fit knowing that they show your shape. I get too hot to wear anything else over them, but if you're self-conscious you could. I don't worry about it much anymore. They're comfortable to me. I tend to get sores under my breasts and this combination helps me a lot.
What bothers me even more is the area right under the tush. I started wearing running skirts and just love them.
I've gotten tri outfits from Saucony (at the running store) and a tri outfit and and running skirts from SkirtSports (online). Both the tri suits I have I bought both the bra top and the tank with a shelf bra.
