Large-chested ladies, how many sports bras do you wear at once?

  I wear only one sports bra, and I happen to like my squished uniboob, thankyouverymuch.

  Believe it or not, my large chest has been my main motivation to quit working out. The size of my breasts always inhibited me during high school sports. I was one of those "lucky" girls who had a size C+ even at 100lbs. Between the breast tenderness and the back pain, quite frankly, it's just not worth it anymore. There are far too few advances in this field. No one should ever have to wear multiple bras just to be able to exercise. It's ridiculous! When a breast reduction for me is covered by medical insurance (which this country doesn't support for the forcefully unemployed), then we'll talk. Until then, I'll continue to be twenty pounds overweight and tell the rest of the world exactly where to shove it.

  If I am only doing weight training and walking, one underwire bra with a very supportive sports bra on top - BUT, if I'm jogging or running, 3 - YES, 3 - underwire bras with a sports bra to hold it all in.

  Keep in mind that I'm a 38DDD. Running and jogging shouldn't even BE an option for me, and only recently has been. I have spent my life holding back because I've always been the super-chesty girl. I finally got over it, and bundled the girls up in a this little make-shift boobie straight jacket, and now I can jog and run with all the other girls without feeling like I'm going to bruise my chin from the bouncing.

  I absolutely have to layer up-- even though I'm thin, I have really big, um, boobs. So shirts and sports bras that are technically my size really aren't, and the the one's that fit my chest don't fit my ribs. Basically, I end up unsupported somewhere. I like to wear the actual sports bra along with a sports shirt that has the shelf underneath for extra support. Otherwise, I am flopping everywhere!

  I learned this by trial and error. Anyone who has big boobs knows the embarrassment and discomfort cause when you're trying to run the treadmill and you're boobs are running more than you are.

  Also, 'hockey fan', I did end up having to go to a bra fitter one day. It's so hard for me to find bras that fit, and the lady was a giant help--I was a size I had no idea I even was. It's definitely worth the time and money to find a bra that makes you look and feel good.

  I got all of you beat; I wear 5 layers. One really padded bra that is snug around the ribs (one size too small). Over that one bra that fits my true size around the ribs and accommodates the padding from the previous bra. One sports bra that is one size too small and then over that one sports bra that fits over everything I have on. Over that, I wear a tight tank top. Yes, silly I know and sometimes it hurts to breathe but I am 28 and still surprisingly perky given my 34DD's so I try desperately to prevent any kind of jiggle. I even sleep in two bras-one padded and one sports bra to prevent any kind of movement. I just don't want to sag until after 30 :(

  I just recently purchased the In Action sports bra by Lily of France, Model 2111210. This is the bra, but I did not buy it from this vendor: http://www.herroom.com/Lily-Of-France-2111210-In-Action-Sports-Underwire-Bra.shtml. This bra fits better than any bra I have ever had, sports bra or not. I love it.

  sports bras are crap. i'm a 34DD & my cousin is a 34D. we both ran cross country in high school and wore at least 2 bras, sometimes 3. (a regular bra than sport bras layered on).

  And I've seen many women layer swimsuits because a performance swimsuit also does not provide much support, even though when your swimming its not as obvious. . .
