What do you do with your boobs while running?

I tried to go running today for the first time since the second tri.. um, yeah, ouch. I was wearing what had previously seemed like a pretty supportive sports bra.

I guess it's a non-issue for me since I'm getting ready to stop breastfeeding/pumping anyway, but dude. The running part was not bad, but the boobs hurt with every step. I didn't make it very far.

I want to start running soon also. But there is no way these girls are fitting into my old sports bras and I need something mega supportive. Sigh.

Good question... not only do they kill when I run/work out but I'm practically getting smacked in the face. I went from a SMALL A cup to a full B if not small C... I realllllllly hate my 'new' boobs.

I'm not really a runner, but after DD1 I did some interval run/walking workouts.  I doubled up on sports bras and then still had to literally hold the boobs while I ran (I was in my basement on a treadmill, not out in public, lol).  Not really a good long term option though!

I've been doing a nursing bra with a sports bra over it. It's a pain to have to wash 2 bras every time I workout, but it helps.

I BF him or pump right before I go and just wear a tight Sports bra. My boobs aren't that big, though - I was a double A (yes, sadly) and am now just a full A or maaaaaybe a small B. I wish the weight would have gone to my boobs and not my a$$.

I pumped right before I go, and then I put on my nice fitted sports bra, with a tighter and cheaper sports bra on top, followed by a compression type tank. But, I went from a good B to a big C/small D.

I read on another board once (prob the health and fitness) to buy a moving comfort bra. I've been researching them and will probably buy one in the next day or two.

 

Holy smokes..  maybe it's because I had more weight gain then I should have or maybe I was measured wrong (but my bras fit)  but I went from barely being an A to a D.  I never realized that was atypical until now...

I went from a small B to a D.

I haven't started running yet, so I'm going to have to try some of these suggestions.

I went from a small B to probably an E at my fullest point. It was a different experience, to be sure! lol. But now I've already started cutting back my supply, and I'm probably a D, which is what I was during the second half of my pregnancy.  I haven't been measured again, just going by the fit of my bra.

I wondered if I should put a regular bra or nursing bra under the sports bra. I wanted to hold the straps of the bra up while I ran to give more support, but I just imagined people looking out the windows of their houses and seeing that weird chick running by holdin' up her boobs. If I go again this week, I'll try the doubling up thing.

This.  But I BF so I try to do that before I go to the gym.  Then 2 bras + tank.  I'm a DD right now.
