Return to article: How to Buy a Sports Bra
on 5/2/2008 Hi! I just wanted to comment on finding a sports bra. I ordered a great sports bra from FitChix.com and it is awesome! Their sizing chart was true to size and I even called them and they were very helpful in helping me decide on the best bra for me. I ended up with a CWX xtra support bra, since I am a D cup, and it is my favorite! No more of the two bras and this one has great support! They even have sizes online up to a size E cup. They gave me a promo code to share, and I got 20% off using it! So, just wanted to share my experience with you all and the code is FOF-RS. I also wanted to comment on how helpful this sight is with the information it provides.I will pass it on! Thanks ! Stephanie
on 9/8/2006 On training bras, I have two daughters, 15 and 16, one of which is in soccer and track, the other in aerobic boxing/kick boxing. The one younger, in track, wears a Heatgear bra because it pushes up rather than flattening (she is an A cup). My older girl refuses to wear a bra yet (she is an AA cup), and wears Band Aids (1" flex strips) when she spars/works out. The Heatgear is good for people who can't deal with seams, and Band Aids are better than nothing for stiff nipples/tank top wearers where side exposure could occur.
on 11/22/2005 If you find your bra doesn't support you enough, try wearing a singlet top (with inner-bust support) or a crop top over the top. It may be uncomfortable, but in the long run, you'll find you don't bounce so much. Great for high impact sports like Karate.
on 11/22/2005 For the women with breast larger than a C cup, I recommend wearing two sports bras. For even more support during high energy excercise, wrap an Ace Bandage around your sports bra. Not too awfully tight - you need to breath.
on 11/22/2005 If you're full breasted, you'd better try the sports bra on before you bring it home. Some sports bras purport that they are fitted for full-breasted women, but you can't even pull it over your head or get it down over your breasts.
