PSA: sports bras

[truepenny]

For those of you who find your mammary hypertrophy* getting in the way of your physical endeavors, I can report that Title 9's Last Resort Bra (a.k.a. the Enell Sports Bra) really does perform as advertised. It is expensive like whoa ($60 a pop) and hard as hell to get into (they are absolutely correct when they warn you that the proper size will feel too small when you start), but it works. I had been doubling up my sports bras to withstand the sitting trot, and the Enell bra is actually better. Once I get into it, I don't have to think about my breasts again until I take it off.

Which, frankly, is what I want from a bra.

Oh, yes! I read about this bra in an article on the Weight Watchers website, and went ahead and got one a few months ago. It is truly amazing. Absolutely the only thing that gets me through Zumba! (Doubled bras weren't enough for THAT class).

Pity they only go up to DDD! But it's awesome that they exist.

I'm a 36 E/F, and I swear by the Frog Bra from the same site. I can kickbox or do jumping jacks in one, and I used to have to double bag for less effective results.

They will make you look like you're wearing a Roman gladiator's armor under your shirt, but with results like that, WHO CARES?

Thanks, Bear! I'll check 'em out. I have been thinking that the only sensible option at this point is actually a chestplate, so I'm cool with the gladiator effect. ;)

They go up four sizes higher than Title 9 stocks! Figleaves.com has the full range.

Yeah. Not cheap, but so very much worth it.

There's a reason we call a constant annoyance a "boob."

:-P

Oh, good, I'm glad it's working. I just use mine for hiking, and it's as much the GETTING THE THINGS OUT OF THE WAY instead of making them like rocket nose cones so knapsack straps can pinch them -- I had the fifties once, do not want -- that I love the Enell bra for. I am glad it's good for bouncible activities.

Wow, definitely getting one. It may actually save my workouts.

[eiriene.livejournal.com]

I'm totally agreeing with you completely. I LOVE these bras. =)

I passed the link to my darling obsessivewoman, who was very pleased with the recommendation. Thank you.

Belated comment, but bookmarked! I was under the impression that Title 9 didn't do larger sizes, but I see this goes up to a decent band size.
