Sports bra rec?

[marinarusalka]

Has anyone here tried out the Enell Sports Bra 100? My ancient Champion bra isn't doing it for me anymore, so I'm looking for a replacement. I'm a 44DD, and I want something with good hold and no back closure, and easy to put on. Aside from Enell, does anyone have any other recommendations?

I am only slightly less chesty than this, and I have never never ever found a sports bra that I find adequate that doesn't cost $65+ (I have looked. I have been doing gym activities that involve bouncing off and on mostly on for...how old am I? 25 years and change). Since I plan to sweat in it, and since $65 is a lot of money to me especially when you consider I would need to buy several if I wanted to use it several times a week, that's unacceptable to me.

My strategy, instead, is to use worn-out ordinary bras (that is, since I don't do underwire because ow, and don't do lace because yeesh, I have bras that are no longer great for normal use, but are basically cotton but structured to be fundamentally supportive but not compressive) and supplement them with ordinary/cheap pull-over-the head stretchy-cotton bras that I put on over them. In combination there is generally enough support and enough compression that while my chest will still bounce, it won't hurt while it does so.

If you're looking at Enell and thinking $64 is okay (heh, I just pulled 65 out of my ass as an example a minute ago, and yet, look, that's pretty much exactly what they cost), then this might not be the solution for you, but I just can't like that girls of lesser boobage can buy three entire cute exercise outfits for the price of one of my bras, so I put it out there.

fyi, my last enell was useful for a year. A year! That's longer than my non-running bras go before stretching out of shape. It was way gross with unlaunderable sweat far before it had worn out. Totally worth every penny, imho.

Yeah, the cost does get kind of ridiculous, doesn't it? But I'm tired of messing around with multiple bras at 6:00 in the morning, so I'm willing to make a once-a-year investment.
