Location: My own little world :) | Hello girls!
I know this is somewhat off topic but I was curious what you all used for a brassiere while barrel racing. I am a 32 DD and have found that mine are somewhat hard to keep in the locked and upright position while riding. I use a sports bra but it seems that I then have a droopy uniboob :( I really never encountered this problem until I had my first child...things just aren't as firm as they used to be. I am quite a bit heavier than I used to by and have been working pretty hard on losing the weight. My goal is to lose 40lbs by the time summer races hit. I am hoping that as I lose weight things will get better but if you had any suggestions or tips I would greatly appreciate them :) |

| I love the under armor sports bras. They are expensive but last and have a lot of support. |

Location: on my horse | I have similarly sized over the shoulder boulders and actually wear an underwire bra underneath a sports bra. I don't get the super boob smashing sports bras because they just aren't comfortable with the underwire, but with the two I get the lift and shape from the underwire and the support from the sports bra. |

Location: SE Missouri | I used the champion sports bra with Velcro adjustable straps. No uniboob and AWESOME support.. The other regular bra that I competed in is the Lemeystere brand the dream tisha... I get to go down a few sizes when I go bra shopping now so I'm super excited to not have to order a DD/ E anymore.. I used to do regular bra under a sports bra or two sports bras! Awful.. |

| I'm a 36D so not quite that well endowded, but I actually find the VS wireless tshirt bra to be super comfy. Not the flimsy cotton ones in the Pink store, but over on the actual VS side of the store. No uniboob, support, no underwire, and I don't feel like I have to ratchet strap them down. |

Location: White Mountains of AZ | I wish I was a DD!1 I'm 32-34 HH!! I found that an underwire no padded bra with a small sized sports bra ( even the walmart kind ) works pretty good for me. But it has to be itty bitty squeezing me! Not where I can't breathe, but where they are up and not bouncing to bad.

I agree with the Enell best switch I ever made.
I do recommend trying before you buy, so people can get properly fitted.
For canadian gals sportsbra.ca carries enell in addition to other brands and based out of Calgary, they also now have a booth at the mane event in red deer march/April |

| Slightly off topic, but can someone PLEASE tell me the fascination with padding anything over a C cup? Why, I ask you, WHY is it so hard to find an unlined, unpadded bra?! Particularly one that has some support? And WHY does any woman over a C cup need padding??!! I need an underwire and have found an inexpensive line of bras that can be found in places like Meijers and Walmart for under $20. It is the Vassarette line, underwire with side support. I have yet to find a bra in places like VS that fit at all,let alone get any support. Heck, in the stores they don't carry anything over a 36, you have to order online. And the only time I tried to try something something on at VS it had me at like a 38H or something that they didn't carry anyways, and the prices? SHeesh! I NEED that money for my horses! |

When I was fitted the lady gave me one size smaller, I couldn't breathe, tried the size larger and bought it.
I definately encourage to try before you buy |

I understand completing on the vS bra search. Spent a ton of $$ over the years trying to make it work..
Scrounge up the $ to buy one Le Mystere (dream Tisha model). I started buying two lightly used from a friend of mine. So so worth it. Everyday wear plus go right on to the barn. I wore those for way longer than any other bra and they held up awesome! I finally saved up and bought a new one on sale at Amazon. It's amazing.
DD is called an E which sucks but whatever lol. I'm so excited to buy a much smaller size soon once my incisions and swelling go down from my recent reduction! |

I'm not big chested at all and don't like a lot of padding because it is to hot. I do however buy the lightly padded ones just so the headlights are kept turned off. I can't stand to see those things showing on me or anyone else. |

Location: midwest mama | I'm a 34D, but I am only 5' tall........and being a "mature" woman who had a child the girls just don't stay in place like they used to.
I have tried a bunch of different bras, and the thing that works the best for me is to wear a regular underwire bra with a medium tight sports bra over it. Not the "I can't breathe" sports bra, but a proper one.
This works well for me, and I love the fact that as soon as I make my run and cool my horse out, I can just step into my trailer, take off the sports bra, and be really comfortable in just my underwire. Tah dah! |
