comfortable sports bra?

Any of you ladies found 1 that doesn't flatten out the front, only to squish everything sideways?! My only request is no underwire. Thanks

Have you tried Victoria's Secret? I haven't ever tried theirs, but also have yet to find one that doesn't squish. Good luck!

I find it extremely hard to find any softcup (no underwire) bras. I have some nasty scoliosis, so these are my only option if I am to avoid bruising on my left ribs. You'll probably have to hit a specialty shop or even online

Try to find one that fastens in the front. I found mine at Walmart and it is very comfortable. It is very hard to find bras without underwire.

I just wear the ones from Target. They pretty much squish me in, but not sideways. I don't think they would work well for someone much more well-endowed than me.

Just a Question here.

Why is "bra" singular and "panties" plural?

Duh ... for the same reason shirt is singular, and pants are plural!

sports bras

Sears has one that's o.k. I think it's Hanes, but it's not identified on the bra. There is a model #82965/HC09. It comes in black or white. The straps can show when wearing a t-shirt, but it's fine with a turtleneck.

Also, although it has an underwire, Lily O France has one that looks like it's inside out, but it's VERY comfortable. Style 2111210 RN16345. I found it as a closeout at Kohl's.

If you want a sports bra for things like running, et cetera, may I recommend the Champion somethingorother, sold at Dick's Sporting Goods (if you have those near you.) I've removed the tags so I don't know what its called but it is pretty plain and VERY supportive (coming from someone who really needs a heavy duty bra to run, if you get my drift.)

If you want something with more separation, what about Lands End? They sell a variety of light-duty and heavy-duty sports bras and I know I saw some in their catalog that had "two boobs" instead of just one.

Check out Title Nine (Scuba Gear and Scuba Diving Equipment - Discount dive gear (Cheap online!)), athletic apparel for women. They have a really amazing bra selection, including sports bras.
