So I need to get fit. Decided I might try skip some rope. Ooh no, even with 2 bras on, just no. So do any ladies out there have any recommendations for amazing sports bras? I'm a 12G to 12HH depending on brands. I really want to get fit so I can go out and start proper dancing to some bouncy hardcore. Thanks in advance.

Where do yall even get nice bras, my partner is like JJ cup and cant find shit for bras that look anything other than granny

[–] Hr24@aussie.zone 1 points 4 days ago

Check out Ewa Michalek, expensive and take an age to get here, but my partner loves hers and they look great. Not sure how big they go, I think my partner is a G.

Send me a msg and i'll dig through my sports drawer when i get home tomorrey. 10I here. I have an awesome bra. I can go trampolining in it (and have).

edit: Ok what you want is a Shock Absorber. I got mine at Brava, but they don't seem to have anything over GG atm - regardless, worth talking to an actual professional fitter or looking up the wear guide because they will go over the details on how to put one on. They have these pockets kinda like sportwear does for penis havers to secure the junk, but if you don't tuck into them they actually just sit nicely in the cup out of the way. They are snug, but don't impede breathing and not really any more exxy than any decent E+ bra.

There are non-black colours too.

I hate buying clothing online but will give these a go. Tahnk you :)

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 2 points 5 days ago

there are bricks and mortar stores that have them, so dig about - I bought mine in the old High Street store in melbs

A good encapsulating sports bra should do the trick. I'm a couple of sizes smaller than you, and I run rather than jumping, but I've had luck going in to activewear stores (rather than bra stores). I haven't noticed much difference between brands, but I definitely notice a difference between bra styles. If it's a compression bra, it just doesn't cut it for long runs or high intensity runs.

[–] wildwhitehorses@aussie.zone 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I have not thought of going to sports shops. I wear an underwire to hold the bottom in place and a tight yoga compression type bra to hold the top in place but they still have their own painful movement. If I go for smaller bras i just won't be able to breathe :)

[–] ada@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 days ago

Compression bras simply won't do the job for high impact sports of any kind (except for folk with smaller cup sizes)

[–] Longmactoppedup@aussie.zone 3 points 6 days ago (2 children)

No advice on bras.

But where is playing hardcore? Ascension?

[–] wildwhitehorses@aussie.zone 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Ascension yes. It's a start and I am hoping this weekends gig will be good. If you know of any other gigs please keep me in the loop.

[–] Longmactoppedup@aussie.zone 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

While I do like a bit of happy / UK hardcore it's not something I've got out to see for a long time. Quite rare in Perth these days. I make do with streams like the brisk selection.

I've been meaning to check out an ascension. Thus far they have not fallen when I'm free.

Do you just do hardcore or other genres?

[–] Gorgritch_umie_killa@aussie.zone 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Is Ascension held at different venues? I just had a look at an Ascension being held at a club called Truth. It looked like a stock standard pop-club, not really the clientelle I'd have expected for the genre.

[–] Longmactoppedup@aussie.zone 2 points 3 days ago

I think so, however I'm not sure.

[–] wildwhitehorses@aussie.zone 2 points 5 days ago

Ascension, yes. It's a start and would love to know of more gigs if you know of any.

I'm not expert on bras but can say that the air bikes were a game changer after years of trying different ways to get fitter. Also draws a lot t less attention

[–] CompactFlax@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 6 days ago

Bike, row, and weight training certainly has less bouncing.

Plus jumping rope and running is harder on the joints if one is heavier and untrained.
