Sports bras for a small chest?

mcb100 · Jul 13th, 2008, 10:26 PM

I am in desperate need of sports bras. I have none. Lol. All the ones I've seen, are completely flat. With NOTHING in them. No lining, not even a little padding, nothing, just straight down flat. (That makes me kind of self conscious, and aside from that it kind of makes me feel naked, idk why.) Lol. I am an A cup, or a B cup in really small bras and i need a good sports bra with something in it. Does Victoria's Secret make sports bra? If they do, they probably don't have anything in them though....most sports bras dont. Can anyone help me? I will be doing activities such as gymnastics and walking and all that stuff soon and I could really use a few good sports bras. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I've been searching forever (years, literally) for bras with padding cuz of my permanent high beams. I just bought the Jockey sports bra and love it. Padded, great support. hooks with velcro in the back, so it's easy to take off but can handle lots of movement.

Also saw a bunch at Lululemon, which are much prettier looking. But I haven't tried them on and am not sure how easy they are to get in/out of, since they don't have the enclosures in the back. I have a Lululemon top with built in padding though which is amazing in look and quality, but I practically have to dislocate a shoulder to get out of it, and if I have really sweated and the top is sticking to my skin, forget taking it off for an hour. Buuut maybe the size is wrong.

I don't have any Lululemon stores anywhere near me though (I already checked their store locator) and yess there sports bras are pretty. Does anyone know where to buy them online?

I've given up on sports bras giving me some shape. I figured hey, I'm at the gym to lose weight and sweat not look pretty. Even my mom tells me I look like a pancake in my sports bras. There's no one I need or want to impress at the gym anyways.

Most sports bras are not made with padding becuz it'll just add to heat and soak up ur sweat.

There aren't really any good stores to buy online, but you can call their telephone number and they will ship items. It's relatively inexpensive too. The person I talked to was very helpful in finding my size. They do sell Lululemon in stores though, like at the Equinox Fitness Club. Go to lululemon.com for a full list of stores and showrooms.

The lululemon products wash well and are a good value - just wash them in cold water and hang them to dry. I have stuff from them that's 5 years old. Still looks great!

Victoria's Secret has nice sports bras. You can get them for a good deal on clearance.

The best sports bra I ever found was at ... Walmart of all places! Danskin makes some that have padding in it and help you keep some shape even if you are on the small side. They are only $9.88 a piece.

www.titlenine.com has an absolutly fantastic selection of sports bras. I'm mostly familiar with their bras for larger sizes (DD before my reduction, now a C) but they work so well I'm sure you'll be able to find something.
