Boob-band For Riding?

[Blanche]

I have tried searching on here to see if they've been discussed before but can't find anything. I am notoriously bad at finding anything on here though. So my question is has anyone tried one for riding? I'm considering just tucking mine in my waistband so I don't have them slapping up and down.

There's a thread on these on COTH, I haven't actually read it though so not sure if it's of any use! I think there were users of it on there though.

Haven't seen that before but can highly recommend Freya Active bras. They're the only ones that tame my FFs sufficiently for me to do sitting trot without giving myself two black eyes and two bruised knees.

I defo need one of these...not quite long enough to 'tuck' in waistband....

I'm an advocate of wearing a sports bra over a normal bra, works for me!!

I've been impressed with Panache. They sell at some horse shows and got a good review in the product section of H&H website. I can happily do sitting trot without any worry.

I've tried a similar one, though it's a bit broader as it's supposed to cover not just above, but the top of your bra as well.
The thing is, it either slipped or it was uncomfortable. I couldn't find an ideal tightness (granted, it worked with those normal little bra hooks, not Velcro like the boob band).

I have just got one of their underwired sports bras and having tried several brands/designs in the past it's the best I've found yet.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions, will give them all a try to see which suits me . Wish I had had the courage to have them reduced when I was younger, been flapping around since I was 13. lol

This is what I do, too.

Also another that wears a sports bra. Bravissimo have a good selection!

Just trying out the Berlei horse riding bra as I managed to get it really cheap online. First thoughts were it didn't seem that strong and the sizing came up small but once on it's comfy and seems to hold everything in place. So far had a jumping lesson and a hack and seemed to work well. That's for an E cup

I highly recommend the Ennell sports bra if you are large up top.

I fell for the marketing hype and bought a Booband. When I got it out the packaging I just thought there's no way thats going to work. I put it on around the house and felt ridiculous. Threw it back in the drawer and haven't worn it since. Shame, as i'm always after to minimise the bounce, I end up wearing my BP all the time when I'm riding. Not a bad thing, I guess.

Good bra and a swimming costume. Totally stops all bounce in any direction.

I'm another advocate of normal bra with sports bra on top; more supportive and stops the mono-boob you tend to get with sports bras.
I did consider trying one of the bands, but wondered if it would actually work on my "more down than out" boobage. And even if it does do what it says on the tin, it's nothing a bandage can't do without the price tag!
