So I need to get fit. Decided I might try skip some rope. Ooh no, even with 2 bras on, just no. So do any ladies out there have any recommendations for amazing sports bras? I’m a 12G to 12HH depending on brands. I really want to get fit so I can go out and start proper dancing to some bouncy hardcore. Thanks in advance.

    Send me a msg and i’ll dig through my sports drawer when i get home tomorrey. 10I here. I have an awesome bra. I can go trampolining in it (and have).

    edit: Ok what you want is a Shock Absorber. I got mine at Brava, but they don’t seem to have anything over GG atm - regardless, worth talking to an actual professional fitter or looking up the wear guide because they will go over the details on how to put one on. They have these pockets kinda like sportwear does for penis havers to secure the junk, but if you don’t tuck into them they actually just sit nicely in the cup out of the way. They are snug, but don’t impede breathing and not really any more exxy than any decent E+ bra.

    There are non-black colours too.

    A good encapsulating sports bra should do the trick. I’m a couple of sizes smaller than you, and I run rather than jumping, but I’ve had luck going in to activewear stores (rather than bra stores). I haven’t noticed much difference between brands, but I definitely notice a difference between bra styles. If it’s a compression bra, it just doesn’t cut it for long runs or high intensity runs.

      I have not thought of going to sports shops. I wear an underwire to hold the bottom in place and a tight yoga compression type bra to hold the top in place but they still have their own painful movement. If I go for smaller bras i just won’t be able to breathe :)

        Compression bras simply won’t do the job for high impact sports of any kind (except for folk with smaller cup sizes)

      Check out Ewa Michalek, expensive and take an age to get here, but my partner loves hers and they look great. Not sure how big they go, I think my partner is a G.

      There are some specialist boutique bra shops that get all sorts of sizes in. The shop I found caters for different bodies including surgeries, transitioning, disabilities ( I never knew you could bras that do up with strong magnets for those that can’t do hooks), and definitely the larger sizes.

    I’m not expert on bras but can say that the air bikes were a game changer after years of trying different ways to get fitter. Also draws a lot t less attention

      Bike, row, and weight training certainly has less bouncing.

      Plus jumping rope and running is harder on the joints if one is heavier and untrained.
