Running - Any Cheap DIY alternatives to a Buband/Booband?

12 replies

I've recently taken up running but am thinking of jacking it in, because I can't seem to find a suitable sports bra. (I'm on bra No. 3 already)
I've heard about Bubands, but don't want to through yet more money at the situation, especially if there's a cheaper alternative out there.

Has anybody made a homemade one out of elastic bandage? Stretchy material?

I happened across this on Amazon today. I couldn't understand how it works. Anyway, I have enormoboobs and love the panache under wire sports bra, if you haven't tried it yet.

You just need a better bra - have you looked on Less Bounce or Booby Doo for advice on the best ones for your size? The Enell one doesn't let anything move!

I doublebra, as in one of my normal wired ones underneath and a sports bra over.

I've tried doublebraing and I end up not being able to breath properly and I get too hot.

I can see a boob band working really well over a sports bra.
I just wondered if a very big elastic bandageand some safety pins would do just as good a job Confused

Im buying new running shoes next week so am trying to cut corners in other areas.
