What To Look For
Sports bras for large chests have different features from those for small to medium sized chests. Look for a bra that hooks in the front or back. A bra that pulls over your head will have too much stretch to hold your larger breasts tightly. It is also wise to select a bra with cups, which few sports bras have, in order to better hold your breasts in place. Look for bras with wide shoulder straps. Narrow straps can cause discomfort if they dig into your shoulders due to the heavy weight of your chest.
Common Pitfalls
The most common mistake women make when shopping for a full-coverage sports bra is focusing too much on style. The most popular sports bras for large chested women, including Oprah's favorite Enell Bra, are not sexy. They have a lot of reinforced material, and they may make your breasts look pointy. However, once you put on a shirt, these bras will make your chest look more supported, lifted and attractive than a less supportive bra. They are also less likely to squeeze your skin or fat in unattractive places.
Where To Buy
You can shop at a sports retailer or bra retailer for the bra of your choice. The most expensive options may be found at retailers such as Nordstrom, lululemon athletica, or directly from manufacturers like Nike or Adidas. If you are looking for less expensive options, try Target or Walmart. Sporting goods stores like Sports Authority, REI and Dicks have a wide selection, and they typically run the gamete of prices and styles.
Cost
A good sports bra for a large chested woman can run close to $100. The Enell Sports Bra runs about $70, and the lululemon athletica "Ta Ta Tamer" for large chested women runs about $58. The Shock Absorber B109 is slightly expense at around $40.
