Why don't women invest in a decent sports bra?

Pumpkinseeds

A bit of a light hearted thread for a dreary Tuesday. I've been using public transport for the last couple of Saturdays and I've noticed quite a few women out running in groups. They've all got their nice trendy running gear on but they seem to be neglecting their boobs. Now as a woman, one thing I definitely don't want is saggy boobs. I find it kind of funny that they spend a lot of money on the outfits and the runners but can't be bothered to invest in a decent sports bra.

I can't see the point in toning up the rest of the body if your boobs are going to be hanging somewhere near your knees. Its funny to see big chested women running, with the boobs bouncing in all directions, might do themselves an eye injury:D

As a man, I also don't want saggy boobs.

And why do you care?

And it's lovely and sunny here.

Sports bras are sexy.

Especially the patterned lacy invisible ones.

It's grey, raining and miserable where I am. I got a few bits in for Christmas last week along with a few things for Halloween. This year the bulk of the Christmas gift shopping is getting done online. Organisation is the key to avoiding the Christmas nightmare.

I can't help but notice that the OP has "pumpkin" in his username, and that's all I have to say on the matter.

Please tell me you meant to say 'Tuesday Club' rather than 'Christmas Shopping'

It just surprised me that women neglect that area. I'm a large chested lady myself and I take care of the boobs when I run. I don't spend much on running gear but I do like to have a decent bra.

It's prob a liberating exprience to let the boobs bounce free. When I go playing football I am often commando under me shorts, give the 'lads' a good bounce around during the game, find it quite invigorating actually :pac:

I understand your cause for concern op, you dont want to be getting a belt of a stray floppy one passing them on the street.

If a man started this thread it would be locked by now.Equality my ass.

Does running make them saggy? I thought that was just an inevitable result of gravity over time?

Ghandee

I see lots of potential problems when/if all these 'women' invest in the one bra.

You've not thought this out property OP.

let 'em fly i say, if god wanted boobs not to wobble, he wouldn't have made them wobbley :cool:

I bought a good old Triumph sports bra that holds them firmly in place! you can't concentrate on your exercise if you're being whacked in the face.

There are natural ligaments which keep breasts 'perky'. These do get stretched over time. Gravity plays a part, as does weight loss/gain, pregnancy etc. Running without the correct support will do the same.

I agree OP, it looks awful. I don't know why they do it, maybe it's the cost - a good sports bra can cost between €50-70, but it's a better investment than trendy sportwear.

I also hate when women wear bras that are too small and look like they have four boobs due to spilling out over the top of the cups, or when the straps fall down their arm.

I for one, think you should all make with the pics on the open forum so you can compare bras with each other...

another question

Because they are bloody damn expensive thats why and I have tried a good few both from the nike and adidas ranges and you still get nipplitis syndrome! They might be supportive but then you run the risk of poking someones eye out!...I have also tried a few of Penneys offerings and they arent fantastic but they aren't terrible either but I couldnt imagine a larger chested lady squeezing into one...I had one great one from forever21 it was like one of those belvia bras that have come out only with insert pads that prevent the poking out, it was extremely supoortive and comfortable but after a few washes it turned to dust...but for €5.60 or whatever I paid for it ya could have a few on the go....

At the moment I am surviving on a very comfortable no padding bra covered with a stetchy crop top...nothing moves 1 millimeter in any direction

Buy a sports bra! And go on a diet!

I hate it when they wear spagetti strap tops and bras of a clashing colour.

Madam_X

Whatever about them sagging, I'd just find it bloody sore for them not to be adequately supported.

Sports bras/good support ftw.

I wonder if you can get ball-bras for lads?

I do believe the Americans call them "jock straps."

Na that's just got a cup to protect against impact. You have to wear them when sparring too.

They were originally designed for support, according to Wikipedia.

Everything comes with a risk, nothing worse than getting a bouncing ball that doesn't bounce as high as you think it will and it makes a small contact with your bollix, the worst kind of pain ever!

Why don't some men? They could often use one.

:(Some of us ladies don't really need to.:(

Thinly veiled 'my breasts are kinda small thread'.

Anyway don't get us girls started on bras....trying to find the right one is a pain ...bra manufacturors are idiots...:mad:....all A cups are usually always padded and become uncomfortable after an hour. And most sports bras seem to give the larger breasted ladies one big uni-boob.

And i like when your straps clash with your top red top purple strap.....cool:cool:


We need more choice when it comes to sports bras though and better engineering.

And bras better designed for evening wear..most of my friends resort to taping em!

But ye women never sit down and unexpectedly crush a ball, that is soooo painful

I agree, not seeing the problem here, I approve of bouncing. In fact sports bras should never be worn

We certainly don't want to see them jiggling around .

Haha while reading this on my phone I got a pop up for some granny bra advert.
OP, I bought a good sports bra, but tbh, they don't really work, they still bounce.

In my mind that means they def work :P

Not just for running - dancing too. A local French trad dance group has several women that insist on dressing up as men and doing the more athletic men's dances. It's very distracting watching their chests going solo. :eek:

I hate bras, and i fully support womens rights to burn them!!!!!

Shock absorbers max support are good. Don't think any are 100% bounce proof, but these are pretty close!
