The MiBra Winner Announced, Sports Bra Chat & How You Can Get Your Own For Cheap!
by Erika Nicole Kendall
Like I said… I love my MiBra, and was excited when Carolina, maker of the MiBra, opted to sponsor a giveaway on this site. Not only do I support small businesses (because, well, I run one), but her product is super eco-friendly and functional. That gets any support that I can offer. 
I chose this photo because it makes me look like I have more boobage than I really have... because I really have none. None at all. LOL
Having said that, let’s get down to the winner!
Congratulations to Tam! Look for my e-mail requesting your address to hand over to Carolina, so that we can get you your MiBra! After 12PM Saturday, I’ll be releasing the bra back into the wild and picking a new winner!
For those of you who may be a tad bit disappointed, have no fear! Carolina handed over a discount code for $5 off your very own MiBra! When you visit her site to make the purchase, use the code ANDREINA to get your $5 off of your purchase.
Please believe I fully intend to buy another one… because I’m kinda ticked that I can’t sleep in mine.
The MiBra goes up to a 40D for the large – but I don’t want to leave out our ladies who are a little further down in the alphabet – what kinds of sports bras are you using? Where are you purchasing them from? Any tips for purchasing a good sports bra? Let’s hear it!
So let me know! Are you purchasing a MiBra? For you DDs and up, what are you wearing? If we’re going to protect our boobs, let’s make sure we’re all properly equipped!
(Today’s post is short – for me – but I’ve got to go prepare the Clean Eating Boot Camp! That’s right…get ready for it!!!!)

A few rules for posting, friends:
- If you are promoting a product, or posting a sales pitch, your comment will be deleted.
- If you are trying to dispute something on the site, you will need more than anecdotal evidence (i.e., "My cousin's friend's uncle's girlfriend's boss did it and it worked!" If you've got books or at least Internet links, then we can talk. Otherwise, you risk your comment not being approved.
- Foul language is discouraged. I'd like people to still be able to read the site at their jobs.
- Disrespecting me or the men and women who post here is also unacceptable. Your comment won't be approved, and you might be banned. (Actually, I've grown to like embarrassing people who behave like they have no home training. Consider yourself warned. :)
- Want an avatar? Quick and easy solution. Visit Gravatar.com and sign up for one!
- Everyone is welcome here. You don't have to be Black, you don't have to be a Girl. I'd prefer you to be human, and I'd prefer you to be kind. We're helping each other, right? :)
- Last, but certainly not least, commenting here is a privilege. Not a matter of "freedom of speech," but a matter of "approved at the discretion of the the owner." It's how I protect our community. Everyone appreciates this until it's their comment on the chopping block. We simply don't have time for foolishness, here. (And please, don't e-mail to complain. I already know you're mad.)

I’m a 42DD and I wear the Fiona sports bra. Love it! http://www.amazon.com/Moving-Comfort-Womens-Fiona-Mist/dp/B0036BW3PU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=apparel&qid=1281113725&sr=8-1

I wear the Enell and I got mine off EBay and I love, love it, even though there is still uniboob-ed ratchedness, it’s so much less bounce that I don’t care!
—Pearl
+1 to the Enell love. Expensive, but worth every penny. Less bounce and therefore, less pain and discomfort.
I’ve always wondered why it’s so difficult to find high quality workout, fitness, and yoga gear in larger sizes. It’s supremely annoying in our fat shaming culture to be preached to about exercise, only to be unable to readily find quality garments to do so.

I use the Shock Absorber bra in a G cup. One place to find it is here http://www.barenecessities.com. Or check out your local Nordstrom store, or Google it to find other stores in your area that carry it.
—Curlstar
I second the shock absorber. I’m a 36JJ-US and a 36HorHH-UK. As my band size shrinks yay, my cup size does not want to follow, less belly just makes them look even bigger
The shock absorber is the truth. I specifically like the Level 4 Max No Wire Bra. I purchase them from http://www.barenecessities.com and http://www.figleaves.com. Figleaves sells a two-pack which is less than ten bucks more than just the single bra. I had an Enell once and while it did the job, I did not enjoy the complete back coverage. The shock absorber provides more support, less squishing, and uses a cross back that is covered by most of the tops I use to workout in.

I just ordered a MiBra. Wish I would have seen the coupon before placing my order! Oh well maybe next time.

I’m a 34G and I have a Freya sportsbra that I love. Looks like a regular bra but its like industrial strength – keeps the girls in place but doesn’t squeeze me to death either.
—Jubilance
The code didn’t work for me :’( Is it expired?
—Lauren
This post came right on time…I just came back from the gym and lord knows I need a good sports bra!
—Keisha R
Girls, You can also use the code Nikki if Andreina isn’t working for you.
Let me know if you need any help!!
XoXoXoX,

I’m a 42 DD (down from a DDD- YAY), and Lane Bryant actually has a really great cotton bra that’s very soft, but provides a lot of support. It’s fantastic for sleeping or working out in.
—Evelyn
Thanks for the bra recs. I have been working out in a regular bra + a sports bra top. I’m a 36F and it’s not a game out there.
—thirteenlbs
I need a new sports bra as well, but does the MiBra support women that have bigger ones? I’m not huge but I’m not exactly an A-D either. Will I get the much needed support? It’s embarrassing to be running a mile and the girls won’t sit down lol. I feel like people are staring when I run, not to mention the discomfort.
