So, here it is! KKDancerMom said we should make one, and so should those with smaller ones.

Vent, talk about bras, discuss the pros and cons.

Here is my first question. When it comes to the Victoria's Secret Sports Bra - how are they? Which ones give the most support so that I'm not all over the place?

You know, I've always wanted to try out their sports bras that are made for bigger boobs. I haven't really been doing anything active lately so I have no need for it, but maybe sometime I will start going to the gym. When I was in marching band, I had to do the whole two sports bra thing to keep enough support.

Finding a bra to fit me is like trying to make the devil turn the temperature down in hell. It just doesn't happen.

I've never tried the VS sports bras, but Under Armour makes a good one for larger sized breasts.

www.underarmour.com . . .

Amazingly, it actually provides support enough that I don't feel like I need to wear two sports bras, which at a C cup, is how I normally feel with everyother sports bra in existence.

I have a C cup as well. I remember there was a thread and people mentioned the Victoria's Secret ones, but I don't remember if they were good. I feel like someone said that the most support one was actually NOT the most support or something like that. So before I dish out the money, I'd rather know!

If I were you I'd go to one of the local sports stores. Is there a Modells, an REI, an EMS, or a Hudson Trails anywhere around you? I'd walk through the women's clothing section and try on all the sports bras. I really would start with Under Armour though, they make fabulous bras. I would probably avoid VS. They're in no way... athletic, so I doubt the small selection of sports bras they do carry are going to be of the best quality, and you'll pay just as much for the name as you would for a higher quality sports bra. You should definitely try to stick with someone who specializes specifically in athletic clothing.

My roomate has one from VS (sorry I don't remember what it's called) and she loves it. They've expanded into a larger selection of sports wear so its decent stuff. My favorite sports bra is actually from wal-mart and cost me like $10USD. It's got an underwire and a back clasp which can get annoying but my chest doesn't ache when I'm done exercising.

Title Nine Sports has a big collection of sports bras that cover every size range and they are all categorized by levels of support.

How sweet, Jeannie! I feel honored!

My favorite bra lately is the Bali minimizer. I would tell you how big my boobs really are, but it would probably scare you. Suffice to say, I wear the biggest size on the market, without having to special order them.

I have to drive an hour to the store that sells them and I usually buy four or so at a time. I try to watch for the sales, sometimes they have them buy two, get one free. Full price, they are thirty bucks a pop.

I'll post, again!

I LOVE the Lululemon sports bras that cross over in the front. I've never felt so supported in my life- and this from a 32F. It's the only bra I've bought in a couple years now that I haven't had to buy overseas or special order at over $100 apiece. Amazing. I look like I've got a uniboob and the most ridiculous cleavage ever, but I don't care because it's so supportive.

It's the "Deep V" bra. So good.

One of the last clogging teams I competed with, thanks to a combination of witchy stage moms, and me being big breasted, I had to wear not one, not two, but FOUR bras, in order to keep the moms quiet.

I made a production out of it, too. I bought four different style bras, in four different colors, so my back was a zoo of straps, and colors. And I made sure that there were no fewer then two other girls from my team in the dressing room with me when I got dressed, so they could see all the mess.

I didn't know VS came out with sports bras. Interesting.

My town just got a VS, and people are protesting and picketting against it. Apparently, the window display is inappropriate.

Um, if you haven't taught your sons that women wear underwear and bras, then you've got more problems then I can help you with.

Were they yapping about you bouncing? How absolutely rude! They were probably just jealous cause they're forty-year-old A cups! Did they think you were braless? Stupid people.

So how about this question of the day:

Have you ever "used" your boobs to get something that you wanted? Whether it be get out of a ticket, get in front of a line, get a discount, etc. OR - has it ever happened on accident, and you didn't realize - at first - that the reason it happened was because they were big??

^Try half my life. If I have to live with them, I may as well get some use out of them. High school teachers, college professors, the cute guy who works at the car wash...you name it, I've tried it, hahaha. I figure the world owes it to me as payment for all the pain and suffering, hahaha.

I have to admit I've never used them before hahaha.

Anyone else?? I feel like this discussion could get really funny

Were they yapping about you bouncing? How absolutely rude! They were probably just jealous cause they're forty-year-old A cups! Did they think you were braless? Stupid people.

Yes, yes they were. To everybody that would listen.

And, our poor instructor was male, so he was too embarassed to say anything to me about it, so he made one of the other girls (that I was pretty good friends with) say something to me instead.

Poor girl. I would have rather heard it from him, being that it was his group and all.

I've used my boobs. Apparently, to hear my boyfriend tell the story, I got him with my boobs. Heh.

We were at a bar listening to a band, on what HE considers to be our first date. We were kind of close together. Every time I wanted to speak to him, I'd turn towards him (since the music was loud, I figured he needed some sort of indication I was addressing him), and my boobs brushed on his arm.

To this day, when we talk about why we went out on a second date, he goes "Well, you were pretty cute, and you rubbed your boobs on me. So I decided to go out with you again."

Erm, thanks?

Oh, gosh! That brings back memories!

I had a job in a bar when I was in college and the pass thru was kind of tight. Some times, the guy who worked with us would write up his tickets there and I would have to squeeze past him to get behind the bar. After a few weeks, he asked me not to do that because he said he couldn't go out front after I did that. I was just lightly brushing past him, without thinking and I didn't get what he meant. Poor guy, he blushed the whole time he was talking to me.

Another time, I was at a concert with friends. It was SRO and we walked in front of a long row of guys. I had on a white, scoop neck t-shirt and little pink shorts and my friend behind me said every guy turned his head to watch me walk by. I never even noticed. My brother was behind my friend and I thought he was going to fight all of them.

EDIT: OH!OH! You know when you're in high school and they vote on Most Beautiful, Most Talented, Best Dressed...all that stuff? Well, my school had a category called Muscles and Curves. Guess who was Curves?

I've never used my boobs for anything i want , well i can't remember doing so anyway.. Talking about sports bras though.. I think my favourite has to be Shock absorbers

Whenever there is a big cue at a bar etc, i'm very short so people don't see me but they sure do see my chest, although i hate when people oggle to much it does come in handy.

On yesterdays question, Laula that Sports Bra looks great!

Victoria's secret bras aren't big enough for smileywoman...They don't make a bra in my size.

I'm 46 years old, and only recently found the perfect bra for me!

Ready for the next question of the day??

What type of tops/shirts look best on your figure? What type of tops/shirts look the worst on your figure? I feel like some people out there with Big Boobs may never seem to find a shirt that really compliment them, but just don't realize what options are out there and complimenting to big boobs! So...let's hear it!!

I find that V-neck tops flatter me the best. When I feel like I'm having a "bigger day" (swollen, annoying, etc), I feel like they make me feel a little slimmer and not AS huge.

^ I've always loved Tyra's advice on big boobs, because I know it holds true with me. Tops with high neck lines, or turtlenecks just make me look like I'm spilling out everywhere. Covering up large boobs isn't the answer. A nice v-line looks best on me. Or a lower cut rounded neck compliments me.

^
I feel the exact same way with high necklines and turtle necks. I think they do a terrible job at covering them up - they just make them MORE obvious and huge, if you ask me! I think turtle necks make them look awkward, too.

And hey, guys, feel free to come up with topics as well I know I'm going to start to not be able to think of good topics to talk about hah

What type of tops/shirts look best on your figure? What type of tops/shirts look the worst on your figure?

I'm all about the v-neck too- shirts without anything cut away at the neckline make me look like I have this huge shelf of boob. A v-neck or scoop neck (as long as it's not too low-camisoles are my best friend because I've got cleavage up to my collarbone when I'm bent over, haha) breaks it up a bit.

Turtlenecks are evil, period.

What type of tops/shirts look best on your figure? What type of tops/shirts look the worst on your figure?

i Can't seem to find V neck tops anywhere lately So I'm wearing a lot of polo shirts.. they don't do the job as well as v necks but they're the next best thing i can find . I'm with everyone else on the turtle necks though...ick.

Yeah, I like polos for everyday. For a bit dressier look, I've learned to like the button up shirts with sleeves that come just below the elbow. I wear them untucked and I feel they flatter me. And I'm all about solid colors. No prints or patterns!

No v-necks for me, way too much cleavage. I like a high scoop neck or a boat neck, especially under a jacket.

EDIT: Here's a question. *squirm* Does anyone besides me have rash issues, like heat rash in the summer or yeast rashes? And if you do, how do you deal with it?
