    Sports bra?!?

    What sports bras do you guys recommend? I have always used the berlei ones with the mesh like material and they have always been fine before for jogging and indoor soccer. Now that I have started playing outdoor soccer they are woefully inadequate and last week I actually had a patch of blood come through on my shirt from my nipple because of the damage done.
    So until I get a new one I am going to wear breast pads (funny cos I never had to wear them when I was bf'ing). But what do you guys think? I am a 12C.

    I have a Berlei... it is expensive but worth it I think. I have a material one but some of them do have the mesh cups why cause they would chafe me bad all the time. I am a 16D so found I had to go the more exxy brand to get the support for my size.

    I love my Lorna Jane crop. The one I have is action backed and made for hight impact sports. It even has removable padding to accentuate your assets Really comfy too.

    BnT have a great in-store-brand sports bra ... can't remember the name of it, but it's ace. And cheaper than Berlei.

    I am a 12DD and my LJ crop is a Medium. It's called a 'Comfort sports Bra'. You can buy them online from their store.

    *Hollo: Looks like they go to an L, which is an AU14.

    Berlie - Definitely worth the price. I have 16DD & will not wear anything else for sport (horse riding especially!!). Specifically style: Y584T (the high performance one). It crosses over at the back (nothing worse when jumping your horse over jumps, or trying to pull up a bolting horse & your bar strap falls off your shoulder!!).

    The colours vary for the season, but you can usually always get white & black. I have an awesome green/blue one.

    I have one Bendon "Extreme Out Sports Bra", but I did have to get it replaced after the underwire started to really rub (after 2 wears!!) & was nearly popping through. I sent it back to Bendon & they sent me a new one, and then I had no problems. I can strongly recommend that for the amount we pay for bras, send them back to the manufacturer if there are any problems.

    I have been known to wear two sports bras at once for the extra support. One soft one and them a good one over the top. Maybe give that a go with your Berlei?

    I was recently fitted for one, the brand is 'Freya'. I've never heard of it before but it is a fantastic bra. I got a 10 GG It is super supportive. I wear it to the gym a few times a week and when I get home I don't want to take it off and put my feeding bras back on. I actually feel like I've got boobs again when I wear it

    It was exxy, $98 I think but I'd happily pay that again. And it is just like a normal bra, no mesh, crossed over back etc etc which I actually preferred. I tried a few different brands on, Bendon, Berlei and another I can't think of and this was by far the most comfortable, supportive and best fit.
