I wore coobies for years, but nowadays they aren't a good fit for me. I've aged and gained weight and I'm fussy about comfort. I need a more accommodating band size, but cup size hasn't really changed. Having a short torso doesn't help.
It is darn near impossible to find a truly supportive bra in (1) smaller cup sizes and (2) size 40 band. I've tried a ton of stores and looked at a lot of options and all I can find is low to medium compression. It's fine for most of what I currently do, but it sure wouldn't work for running or plyo. And sometimes I just need more support. Years ago I had a great compression bra that zipped up the middle, but those seem to be out of style or not too reliable. I do remember that the zipper would always try to unzip itself. But it would be nice to have a workout bra with wires as well, which is what I used to do for doubling up (one underwire, one compression). Smaller sizes also need to double up sometimes! And without massive amounts of padding, which I don't want when I'm sweating. For work, I'm using True & Company bras, they used to be called True Skin. I think they are a bit pricey for what they are, and they aren't great for anything involving a lot of movement or sweat. For a desk job they're fine. |

I don't know how well these work for exercising (have not tried it) but I love these for every day wear. They are SO comfortable. I have the same issue-large band/small cup size: https://www.kohls.com/product/prd-84...0Swirl&prdPV=3 Kohls frequently has them on sale-they are on sale now. Since I know my size, I sometimes just order them online to save having to bother going to the store. Sherry
