Black Eyes

I have (hopefully) found a way to prevent black eyes!  It's white, giant, and tight.  It's a sports bra for "well-endowed" women.  It seems like I've tried every single sports bra with absolutely no success in keeping these puppies contained.  I usually just fall out the top because of bouncing and it's not a pretty sight, plus it's a bit painful.  In fact, I'll embarrassingly confess that after having a session of fun with the Xbox kinect, I actually had blisters under my boobs where my underwire rubbed because of all the bouncing (I should have followed the advice the xbox gave me when it told me to take a break).  Not fun!!  So you can imagine my joy at finding a company that specializes in big boob bras (sports only).  So I checked them out, it all looked good and I ordered one.  Now I most likely should have ordered a custom bra, but it was more money and I figure I'll give it a try with a normal one.  If it's half-way decent, I'll order a custom one (it's impossible to find anything in 32i, but I'm hoping that once I lose this baby weight, I'll get down to a 34h, not that that will be any better, but at least it will help, wish me luck).  It came in the mail yesterday.  It doesn't fit quite right, but it's better than anything I've ever had!  So...starting Monday, I'm going to try my hand at something I've never done...run.  That will be the ultimate test (actually, jump roping would be, but I can't do that anymore because my knees are WAY too bad).  So goodbye black eyes!!!  I'll let you know how it goes.  And for those interested in the company, it's called Enell.

  1. As a big-busted-Bertha, I have found that the Women's Comfort "Fiona" is a GREAT compression bra that eliminates black eyes (bounce) and is much more resasonably prices than the uber-expensive Enell.

  2. Awesome info. girls! I have that problem too. I researched 2 months ago and found a sports bra that I love. It was $69 but SO worth it. I love this bra. http://athleta.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=46915&vid=1&pid=720994

  4. Jenn, you are awesome! Sometimes we have to talk about things a little off the beaten path when it comes to such a broad topic as health. But we should feel comfortable discussing our issues, and I'm so glad we get to do it here!

  5. So funny, but yet I can sympathize, at least when I am nursing. It is always such a relief to get back to my "normal" size. I hope this is your new wonder bra.
