Thank you Mr obvious.. I believe however this OP is about heavy perspiration, not staying warm...

I feel ya, sister. I wear a 44D, and no one makes good bras for my size that don't cost an arm and a leg and some toes. I just wear my regular bra and a men's athletic shirt from Target that wicks moisture very well, is hi-viz, and isn't see-thru (WTF?); it works fairly well. I did find these bra liners though. Interesting.

I wear a sports bra, and then use anti-perspirant under and between my breasts. Doesn't solve the problem entirely, but helps a bit.

Well thankfully my man boobs have never been big enough to need support, and thankfully with my current success with weight loss they're getting even smaller. I'm going from man boobs to pecs.

Most guys my age were trying to hide their 45 sleeve for My Sharona from mom. And we aren't afraid to admit when we are the bigger boob in the room.

PS Your grandpa wore garters?

Thank you Jane, for the honest answer.

Yes, and my grandma wore suspenders. But then, that's the way we roll in the shire!

I think a picture of the "girls" could help us help you

I remember my grandfather wearing sock garters. That was not uncommon back in the day.

I know this is a slightly old thread but I was reading to see what recommendations were mentioned. Those liners look interesting, did you try them or know anyone who has? They don't look like they come in my size (36G here, I have to go to a specialty shop) but I may see if I can get them to work or find something similar.

I didn't try them, but the reviews made for interesting reading. You might try contacting the mfr. directly and see if they'll make you some. Or swipe the idea and bribe a friend who sews. HTH.

And, now you know why we have a invitation only women's forum. Sigh.

Before I got into cycling I had an underwire encapsulation bra from Freya. It keeps everything solidly in place and Freya cup sizes go up to H. (I also tried their wicking underwear but didn't find them very durable.) I still use this one when the other is in the wash or if I'm doing a more high-impact activity.

Eventually I decided the underwire didn't make sense for cycling so I got this bra from Castelli. I like this one a lot. It doesn't separate as much as the Freya but I find it a lot more comfortable on the bike. Unfortunately the sizes are very limited.

Either of these are going to get wet when you sweat a lot. But the fabric handles it a lot better than that on a regular bra, so I still think it's tolerable.

Check out Moving Comfort for good sports bras. They work pretty well for me when cycling, but you're always going to have that dripping sweat feeling no matter what you wear if it's hot enough.

I am really sorry to necro such an old thread but this thread keeps coming up in my searches (since apparently there is actually a woman's forum but I didn't know that until I saw it mentioned in a really old post as well and since I can't PM anyone yet ...) I figured I would just post this here since it is one of the threads that keeps coming up.
So I started search for woman's jerseys that would fit me (I am short - 5'0") kind of built like a brick house in a way and have big boobs. However, my waste to boob size to hip size to height just makes life really difficult. I digress.
I wanted to post this because I had the worst time finding a sports bra that would work due to my short torso and big chest, the bottom bands were always like an inch wide and that would actually put the band over the bottom of my ribs so the band would alway flip up. I also hate the uni-boob look as I said, I already have the brick house look going on (I am a power lifter most days after all lol).
I finally found a bra that I love and while it isn't exactly cheap it does go on sale at times as it is a bra sold at Nordstrom (a store in which I do not shop) and they have their yearly sale, which is actually going on now so the bra went from $70 to $47. However, I have also found the older versions (just different colors) on Amazon for about $45. Now this is well worth it even if you purchase it at the $70. I have 2 of them and I wear them at least 5 days a week and have for over a year and they look like I just bought them. I am not always the best at taking care of my bras either but these are fantastic. I have even started wearing them as normal bras as they are convertible to over the shoulder or cross back. They provide amazing support! I am a 36DDD in them (normally wear about a 36DD in regular bras) but they have an impressive size range/cups in those sizes. However, I don't think they go past a 38 band? Which is odd for having so many cup sizes but maybe a bra band extender would work?
I just realized I haven't not posted the name of the bra yet! Zen Contour Convertible Sports Bra by Natori.
Apparently they have some other styles too that I am going to go check out during the Nordstrom sale.

Again, sorry for necroing the thread but I want this information out there in case it might help anyone else.
