Does your bust size disrupt your training?

Question

I love exercise and training, but I’m only 5’2” and have 34DD boobs and sometimes when I’m running, doing aerobics or sparring etc, I can feel them bouncing around a lot. I love my boobs and wouldn’t change them for the world, but I have to wear super tight sports bras or tops to support my size. Sometimes I wish I could just take them off only for training! haha Do any other girls have the same kind of issue? How do you manage your boobs when playing and competing in sports etc?

Yes I feel your pain I'm a 38 double d and sometimes when my sisters ask me to run with them or do other physical activities with them it hurts. I also used to be a dancer and it definitely bounced around everywhere and was like an extra weight. Usually I wear two sports bras on top of each other but one of them being more of a thin kind and the other having a cup on and thicker and that usually does the trick. Hope this helps :)

If I'm not wrong I have 32C, which is waaay smaller than yours, but I still prefer to have something holding them tight when I work out. As long as I'm wearing a sports bra I'm fine. I wouldn't say they get in the way because they aren't too big, but they are extra tender and bounce so hard it's uncomfortable when jumping or running. It kind of hurts when they fall down after a jump. With sports bra I don't have this issue.

I have small boobs, I wear the size 26E. Even at that, I still wouldn't work out braless, I'd have to have some kind of bra on. Also, totally off topic but itse very unlikely to be a 34 band at 5"2, were you fitted in a store?

I have not been fitted in a store, no - I tend to just go with what feels comfortable. I find my band size can vary slightly depending on the bra and their fitting and feel when I put them on. Maybe a smaller, tighter band will hold my boobs in place and stop them bouncing so much - especially when playing and competing in sports. Thanks 🙂

Make sure you find a reliable bra size calculator, one that takes 6 measurements into account and doesn't use the +4 method. Good luck ☺

Its a bad idea to get fitted in stores by the way, they always size people wrong

When you are running, do you not feel your boobs bouncing? Like if you look down, you can see and feel them bouncing? Maybe I just need an even tighter and more supportive bra! 😆

The quality of the sports bra is essential. And it has to be one made especially for high intensity exercise.

Yes ma’am it does, I’m a 38F and running not only hurts because my boobs are pretty heavy but it also makes me super self conscious. Even two sports bras can’t really stop them.
