The Search for the Perfect Over the Shoulder Boulder Holder (Part II)

So once I gave up on finding a sports bra in stores in a 42DDD I decided to order a couple online to try out. The first one the Enelll Sports bra came highly recommended for high impact sports, by highly recommend I mean Oprah. It was featured on her "O" list and she was quoted as saying   "Once you get yourself hooked into this thing, believe me they're not going anywhere." It also had a lot of good customer reviews on several sites so I decided to give it  a try. I'm a fairly skeptical person and rarely I'm I fully satisfied as I am with Enell bra. It a little awkward trying to do up all of the hook and eyes, but no worse then trying to jam myself into a traditional compression bra. It fully supports me while also significantly reducing motion. The girls move less in this then when they were smaller and fit into traditional size bras!I like it so much that I'm going to buy the Enell Lite bra, which is designed for low impact activities. 


The second bra I order is the Goddess Sports bra, I chose it because it had high customer reviews, and was only $27.00 on Amazon! The Goddess bra fit well, and supports well but doesn't cut down on movement as well as the Enell. I wouldn't go jogging in it but I will definitely use it for low impact activities.

After my disastrous shopping trip I posted on Facebook about my frustrations and my choir buddy Patti suggested Fleet Feet, I went down to the store and they had a selection of 6-8 styles of bras that they carried in my size, in the store!  So I picked up a second Enell bra. While searching for a good sports bra I stumbled upon a study that found that during high impact exercise breasts can bounce up to nine inches and that the momentum created by intense bouncing can stretch the breast's connective tissues, causing permanent sagging and pain for many women. So at $60.00 a pop the Enell bra is a good investment, especially  if it keep my boobs from reaching my knees anytime soon :)
