Soooo...this is wierd for me, but I couldn't think of a better place to ask for the help of active women. My gf and I have agreed, since there is so much going on this holiday season, to give eachother gifts about mid-january. Another important tidbit is that we live about 750miles apart, further complicating things. (3 years of distance, still going strong.) Since she has recently made it a priority to excersise more, I thought that I'd get her one or two sports bras to show my...support. She has a large chest and so she has trouble finding or affording normal bras that fit, nevermind sports bras. So, Ladies of Arfcom, if you've got a favorite brand or place to shop or any other advice, I'd really apprieciate the help bunches.

Nike makes really good quality items. I recommend a gift card to a sports store in her area. Bras, even sports bras, are best shopped for with the bobbly bits present.

Gift Cards You could probably figure a store that sells decent ones and let her know what they (the gift cards) are for and do let her "shop for them with the bobbly bits present". |

gift cards are great. I definitely recommend that.
BUT if you're set on buying her one, get a gift receipt, just in case. and try these - bra features, like a hook closure in the back and more of a "fitted" look help with my "bobbly bits" (still laughing at that str8 - LOL) this one or this one with an extra wide bottom band or this one for a super-fitted style |

I have the same problem. If you're willing to invest $$, you can get her some really nice ones. I'm stingy and keep buying crappy cheap ones. it's all in the features, honey... look for a good band underneath, a hook back closure, and cup shapes - if it comes in a 36D, it'll be more up your alley than if it comes in a "medium," I guarantee. here are some that are less than $25: there's this one by Maia Lands End has this one on sale this one doesn't have hooks, but I have one and it fits very well high impact for $15 this one's designed especially for bigger chests |

You Ladies are awesome. I knew they'd be pricey and I am totally willing to cope with the expense if it gets the job done and keeps her happy and healthy. After getting to understand the mechanics of the anatomy in question (more than just bobbly), I've learned that a decent bra is such a vital part "equipment" and I cant believe there isn't a larger market out there. Especially with the health problems that large breasts can incur. Thank you for your help Ladies.  |

I have two Champion sports bras that are the best ones Ive ever had..very supportive, comfortable and have held up like iron. I don't even take special washing care and more often than not, they get put in the dryer.
When I started running, everyone warned me to get good bras, so I went to a store that sold speciality bras for running and other sports. I tried on several $50-60 bras and decided none of them came close to my $20.00 on sale Champion bras. |
