Athena Boobs (Page 2)

I often just wear my bra with a trisuit (or bra with swimsuit for a long swim, otherwise too much drag) and find that it is fine to get on the bike.  You are only cold for a little while...if you stay cold, pedal harder!    Or throw on a vest or arm warmers, both which are easier to put on in transition than a shirt, in my opinion.

I have almost all Moving Comfort bras, and I'm a 34DD or 36D.  Only thing I don't really love is the "uni-boob" look after wearing them for a half an hour or so.  If I get more, I will look at the underwire ones, maybe Maia.  They are good quality bras and hold up well after many runs, lots of sweat and lots of washing.

Yikes,

I think the secret to the Enell bras are getting the right size. I have two, one in size 2, one in size 3 (I'm a 38 DD). Although the 3 is more comfortable, the 2 is what keeps everything in place, without budging one iota. Depends on how much bounce you can live with. For me, I want zilch.

In terms of what to wear during a tri, I wear my enell under an old running shell, plus tri shorts..all under my wetsuit. In T1, I just change swap my old shell with a clean, dry one. Because of limited arm movements on the bike, I don't find that I have any chafing riding with a wet bra. And by the time the run comes about, I'm dryed off (except for the rib band) anyways.

And, I find that men's sleeveless cycling jerseys (or Terry jerseys) and water polo swimsuits have the most coverage. I usually wear a bra to swim practice under my suit, and the WP suits are great for hiding the brastraps. 

Great thread everyone!

First of all, make sure that you know your correct bra size.

Many people wear the wrong size which results in poor support. Next, go try on as many quality looking sports bras as you can find and choose the best one for your body. I don't recommend buying online because it's impossible to know how it will fit you.

My personal preference is La Senza's sports bras, but the larger sizes are being discontinued.

I Stop by this thread everytime even though it's not what I expected.....Title of the thread is sooooo misleading....just sayin'

Thank you....
