Yeah, it's made by Playtex...it's the "Over-the Shoulder-Kill-Switch-Puller" model available in many chest / cup sizes. Or, perhaps a governor in 36C?

Man im going to resist temptation on this but you are asking for it on this one. Try posting in off topic. Mike in modesto

I'm sure she would'nt have any problem finding someone to ride on the back and hold them for her.

perhaps you should beg the moderator to move this to the thumperette forum before this thread goes too far!

Tell her to try different types of sports bras. Some are better at keeping the 'girls' in place than others. Fortunate for me I don't have big 'girls'

Get her a chest protector and that will solve the problem!
She should be wearing one anyway even if she is "just" on a quad!

There are sports bras with UNDERWIRES for support. That's where it's at.
check out www.OneHanesPlace.com
offprice name brand "stuff".
I have to special order mine since stores don't carry my size. And I save a lot of money.

I like this one. Works good.

I raced for a year while a full time nursing mother. I got my sports bras a size or two too small. The big kind that almost can double as a top. I wouldn't go for an underwire only because they are bad for you.....but some just don't feel *comfy* without them....so it's a personal choice.
Seriously, though....I just wore mine super tight to keep the twins from getting out of hand while racing.
I don't have that problem now at all.

Sometimes the problem with it all is wearing the WRONG size.
It seems there is a huge percentage of women who wear the bra too big around and too small cups. So the stinking thing rides up in the back and the girls fall out. I used to do that as well.
Take measurements!!! Makes everything more comfy and the girls stay put.

Super tight can't be good for you either...I think it depends on how much one needs support. I have to have underwire. It actually improves my posture.
But for those who hate the underwire...this one is pretty good too...

When those puppies are full.....tight is better then floppin! But....once the race is over....that tight thang comes off!!!!!!! Like wearing a gut belt....only higher!
I've never been big busted unless I am nursing.....so I'm not sure what just big-uns floppin do while riding. I either have nothin'....or full big-uns. Nothing in between.

I'm with you! I prefer one with underwire, but more for support & to reduce the bounce. The Champion one I have I also got at onehanesplace. That place is PERFECT for prices and I have yet to get anything there that's 'off' which is odd for an outlet.
This is the one I have http://www.onehanesp...fnbr=1611630392
xrDan says it's a minimizer but I say it's comfy as hell and it does it's job.

I guess there's always duct tape.
Ok so I have big uns and underwire is where it's at...it lifts and separates!!
