Sports bras: support vs. lung capacity

They probably don't make my size then.

For what it's worth, the Enell comes in a terrific range of sizes. Here's the chart. http://www.enell.com/get-fit

This what I have and I liked it very much from what I remember, as I haven't worn it in a year. I'm a F-G cup all the time. I have another one too, I will have to find it and post a link.

Title9 has that one, too: http://www.titlenine.com/product/307200.do 4 barbells.

Ah, I saw all these reviews from people saying they usually wore a smaller size but were testing a bigger size -- and it was still too tight. I was confused but that explains it.

And yeah, looking at the bra size chart, if I read it right a 36D would purchase a 40A? And they don't make that. But...hm, I just measured myself and it seems my measurements are changing as I lose weight. I might be able to squeeze into a size they do make.

I looked at my order history and it appears, based on measurements, that I ordered a 34G and returned it for a 34F. So it appears the cups run a little big? I would definitely take your measurements again and find out what your universal cup size is and use it to order a bra. I've been pretty good with using their system and getting it right with only an occasional exchange for size. Just got a nice underwire nursing bra in my size that will be used for work.

The other bra I had was an Under Armor that I picked up off the rack at Dick's. I think I ran my 2 5Ks in it too; will have to look at it when the baby goes to bed later.

Holy moly! I need to look closer at sizing charts when I buy sports bras. Last year I got some really nice everyday bras at Bare Necessities that fit well, so I thought I knew my bra size (36D) and just ordered that. But according to Moving Comfort's site I should be in a 38A...and that's with my band size having *shrunk* since last year. I guess this is part of why I'm feeling like my lungs can't expand!

Honestly at this point I'm just confused. I'm not an A cup, so I look for bras designed for chestier girls, but if they define C/D as having a 6-7" difference between your underbust and full bust, then maybe I can wear a "regular" sports bra?? Crazymaking!

Yeah, non-sports bras seem pretty reasonably standardized (if you can navigate the DD/E/DDD/F differences between manufacturers) - it's pretty clear that each letter change is an inch more of difference between band and bust measurements, and band measurements are pretty much what they say on the package. Sports bras are a WHOLE other kettle of fish, though, apparently!

It’s always a struggle to find a sports bra that offers perfect comfort and support. A lot of my friends also complain about these things. I usually buy my sports bras from the nearby fitness clothing store and always have to try out many different products before I can find one that is a perfect fit.
