It's been awhile since I wrote a blog on great sports bras for big boobs.
If you wear anything over a D cup in any band size, you know how critical bust support is when exercising. It's a struggle I've had my entire life. But thankfully, there are plenty of great sports bras on the market right now. And for this blog, I'm highlighting mostly high impact models, because that's what works best for my DD boobs.
You'll want specific features in a sports bra that may not be as important to you in an everyday bra. First is a good, tight (but not suffocating) fit. Second, you'll want it to feature moisture-wicking materials. Last, if you're like me, you need to be able to adjust the straps and get out of the damn thing quickly. There's nothing worse than wrestling with a sticky, sweaty bra after a workout. For more about what to look for in a great full bust sports bra, read more here.
Here are my current favorite sports bras for big boobs. I've also included the price because--just like running shoes---it's worth it to pay a bit more for quality design. The good news is that you can often find last season's colorways on sale. And I've had experience with most of these brands, wearing their bras for different levels of physical activity. They've held up heavier and bigger breasts. Do let me know if there are any other brands you've tried and would add to this list.
