Sports bras
Anyone able to recommend good quality and performing sports bras?
I'm 67lbs down in 2 months post VSG and finally ready to get into a gym (once it reopens since they closed for renovations) but I haven't had a good sports bra ever. I'm large chested but also have been shrinking. Still plus size in both cup and around so most products down work.
I saw under armour came out with a super supportive one but I Hi k I'll be too large around fornit since it is super tight fitting.
I'm about a 48DD, but can fit in smaller bras (43-44-46 and slightly varied cup at times) . A few have recommended champion ones, Vic secret and a few other brands. At this point I wear a regular bra with a crappy sports one on top, which really doesnt help. Any training I do is crazy uncomfortable from poor fit.
So any suggestions before I bring out the duct tape?
I cannot wait until I can have skin surgery and make my boobs disappear.

When I needed sports bras, a bunch of my friends recommended Moving Comfort (which is Brooks now, I believe). My best beloved bra is the MAIA - it goes to 44E which you could likely get away with. I LOVE this bra because it is a hybrid - it's compression plus encapsulation. It has hook closure in the back and adjustable shoulders. (I hate bras that don't have closures and don't have adjustable shoulders.) They're super comfortable and I use them for running as well as lower impact things like yoga and pilates.
I seriously can't recommend the Maia enough. I've also tried the Fiona and the Jubralee - I like both, but the Maia is my all time favorite.

Thanks, I've done this before but find most boutiques not offer veryr good quality sports bras. And I'm on quickly losing inches that a fitting may be pretty useless because next week I could be 4nibches smaller around my chest. When I'm maintaining I'll definitely do this !

The only sports bra I will wear is an Enell. They are not cute, but they will lock you into place (without underwire) and keep you immobile no matter what you are doing -- jumping jacks, jogging, horseback riding, you name it.

I've gotten the BEST sports bras ever at Title Nine. They have separate designs by cup size, and the "high impact" ones legitimately keep things from bouncing around!
I have this one and I absolutely adore it. The straps are adjustable with velcro in the front, so the straps don't slip, and it keeps everything exactly in place. They've got a few other similar styles, and this one is great if you prefer a T-back.

Title Nine all the way. Go with a higher barbell level if you want them to stay put. I wear a 3 reasons bra all day for working out or going to work. Best and only bra I'll every need.
