What's your favorite sports bra?

[quotidianlight]

I always thought sports bras were pretty useless until I found the Champion Shape T-back Bra. I love this bra because I don't bounce, I don't look like a guy and it's comfortable. That said there is a little spot of stitching on the right strap that bugs me. So I am still looking for my perfect bra. I am going to try some of the seamless Champion bras and also some ventilated ones since it's getting hotter. This is a really good bra though especially if you are a C+ or have... deflated a bit. So, what's your favorite bra?

I like my $15 Bestform sports bras from Walmart. they're great and can't beat the price.

I have one Champion (Double Dry Glisten model, pic below) which I do like, and the rest of them are the Bestform sport bras (for high impact) from Walmart that Jen mentioned.

The Champion does kinda flatten me out... but my boobies are pretty mushy, and need to be bound tight.

We don't have a Walmart around here What is it about the Bestform bra that you like compared to the champion?

The price! I paid $30 for the Champion, and $13.00 for the Bestform (also found a "last years model" one for $3.00 ).

The Bestform seems to "stretch" (I don't know if that's really the word I'm lookin for) a little easier than the Champion ... it's easier to get on and off and doesn't mash me quite as much. It still provides great support, though.

Other than the kind of material it's made of, it may be that the Champion feels more binding to me because it's too small. They are all the same size, but as you know, everything doesn't "run" the same.

I like my bestform for the same reasons as Mitzi, even though it's a sports bra it has a nice fit and i find looks better than my champion one (doesn't give me a uniboob). The one I have is a high impact underwire one that I love (it has the closure at the back so it's easier to get on/off I hate pull on bras).

I too got a couple when i was in Buffalo on the clearance rack that were last years for $4 (Though i'd never get one that cheap here..even on clearance)!

They have several different styles, both low and high impact.

My champion bra cost me $50 and i never wear it.

Is that t-back bra the same as a racer back one. My Sister In Law gave me a sleeveless polo as a gift yesterday but it looks like I need a racer type bra to wear with it. Since I need a good exercise bra could it kill two birds with one stone? If not is anyone's bra a racer back?

Re: What's your favorite sports bra?

I like the Champion powerback bra (for being a larger size)....NO bounce...and if you sign up for Champion Catalog's (online) emails...you can see when there's big sales, so I got mine for $15.

Re: What's your favorite sports bra?

The one I have has cups so no uniboob. I do so much better with capsulation though. all my old sports bras just pressed and none of them ever fit right or felt good when running. I am so hooked on the internal cups now. I would like to try an underwire one but I'm scared it would chaf, sadie do you find the back closure rubs at all?

Atkid, racer back are t-backs. But most sports bras aren't gonna let you look natural so look for actual cups if you're gonna wear it for regular too.

I was just looking at that bra but it seems to twins are going back to B-ville and they only come in C and up. It looks like a great bra!

Actually no chafing at all! I was worried the underwire would be uncomfortable but it's not....

Atkid, you can also get regular racerback bras that aren't sports bras. I have 3 and i love them, they do up in the front I always find that bras that have front closures always give nicer cleavage

Re: What's your favorite sports bra?

That is good to know. I keep seeing the marathon bra but was worried about the closure chaffing but honestly I like the idea of not having to pull a sweaty bra over my head!
