My Favorite (and Not So Favorite) Full Figure Bras

	Le Mystere Dream Tisha Full-Figure T-Shirt Bra a.k.a. "The Oprah Bra" This t-shirt bra made specifically for plus sized women is my latest find. I tried on "The Oprah Bra" at the recommendation of the sales woman at Nordstrom and was immediately sold. Finally, a padded bra in my size! Let me tell you, I have searched high and low for a padded bra, not to "enhance" my bust, but to prevent my nipples from showing through my clothes. I guess most bra manufactures don't think that full figured women have this problem. Anyway, the Le Mystere Dream Tisha Full-Figure T-Shirt bra not only takes care of this problem, but give me nice support and shaping, too. In addition, unlike the Wacoal Bodysuede bra, the Le Mystere Tisha bra's underwire does not come up as high so it is perfect for lower cut tops and plunging necklines! I love this bra - it's my new favorite. Find more Oprah recommendations at Figleaves!
	Wacoal Full Figure Seamless Wire Bodysuede Ultra (#85814) I love this bra. Not only does the Bodysuede feel silky soft against my skin, but this seamless bra is virtually invisible under my clothes. The best feature of this bra for large cup women though, are the slings on the insides of the cups. These slings help shape my breasts and point them forward more, so they don't look like they are spilling out the sides that I find many full cup bras do. I have seen a couple of other bra manufacturers that have a sling inside their full figure bra cups, but none are as supportive as Wacoal's Full Figure Seamless Bodysuede Ultra bra. I think the sling feature is particularly important for smaller women with larger cup breasts. The one thing that I don't like about this bra is that the underwire comes up really high in the middle, preventing me from wearing lower cut shirts and tops.
	Enell Sports Bra What more can I say about this bra? I can run, skip, and jump with NO bounce in the Enell sports bra! Seriously, I wish I'd discovered this bra sooner. Sure, it isn't pretty, nor is it remotely sexy, but it works. This is the first plus size sports bra that I have found that is specifically made for large breasted women that lives up to its claims. I own three of these. I wear it to run, to do step aerobics, and even under my swimsuit when I do water aerobics. Yes, wearing a good supportive sports bra is important for even low impact exercises such as water aerobics - try it and you'll notice the difference immediately.
	Impact Level 4 D+ Sports Bra by Shock Absorber Although the Enell is my favorite sports bra, sometimes I think that the "getting hooked in" routine of putting it on is a bit much. I recently discovered the Impact Level 4 D+ Sports Bra made by Shock Absorber which has padded straps and only three hooks in the back! The cups provide a little separation to avoid the "uni-boob" look and even feature a CoolMax mesh panel between them to keep you cool. And the support this bra offers is great is well. So as an alternative to the Enell, I recommend trying out Shock Absorbers Impact Level 4 D+ Sports Bra. (It comes in sizes 32D through 40G!)
