How important is a sports bra?

Girrrrrrrrl, go get yourself a sports bra. I dont know if it helps or not.... but 20 bucks is worth NOT finding out. LOL I had a BA and I am a 36DD/DDD and man, I cant even THINK about going to the gym without mine on... poor girls get BEAT THE H E double toothpicks UP!!

Yeah. They squish em and hold em tight. But ya know I really don't think that it helps with sagging. So I wouldnt freak out about it. Do chest exercises w/ weights. Mine are lookin' purdy nice these days...(and I'm shocked about that)

Target, huh. I hate the store but guess I'll go if they have what I need. In your sports bras do you feel more er, supported when you work out?

I WAS the same size. I got XL at target and it fit fine ($16.99). I am a c now but I think the ladies sag LESS.

See thread title. ??? When I workout, I don't wear a sports bra. I'm not doing any "bounce and get slapped in the face with the girls" exercises, so figured regular bras were okay. But I'm starting to notice that either my bras are stretching out, my breast are getting smaller or something. And they seem like they're starting to sag. Could this be due to not wearing a sports bra? I did look for some about a week ago but the stores I went to didn't have any that fit me. Why, I don't know. I wear a 38D in most styles. What does the sports bra actually do?
