A question for my fellow top-heavy ddr girls...

Gaelwyn · Trick Member Joined: 31 Oct 2003 Location: Madison, WI

Hi, I am pretty new to the forum so I hope I am posting this in the right one.

I need some recommendations.

I am becoming a real fan of DDR and am starting to pass standard songs. (yea!) There is something that I am finding to be a bit of a hinderence. My breasts, or should I say my bras ability to do their job when it comes to "hoppy" songs.

Do any female ddr fans out there know of a brand of bras that works well for the above stated issue? The store names of where you buy them would help too.

Thanks,

Umn..I'm not really top-heavy...But if you get one that fits really well, it helps. I have a tendency when doing jump streams to lift one of my arms over my chest, that helps too....^-^;;;;;;;;;;

Can't believe I posted here...

Sorry, I couldn't help giggling when I read this, but yes, I feel SOME of your pain. I don't have much to speak of either, but I would suggest a nice sturdy sports bra would do the trick here. If that doesn't work....errrm...... tape them down with ace bandages and bandage tape? I dunno, really depends on the...er....size of the problem. Just try what works out of the advice given to ya!

Bowsergal -- I do that too.

I can't help, but feel I look really dumb holding myself in place while playing ddr. But, I have the same problem with baggy pants. I am sure I look pretty stupid holding them up while playing. I really need to get some ddr only clothes.

I guess I will have to go out and buy some sports bras.

Thanks all.

I say all of you make videos of yourselves playing Stoic and DXY!

Seriously...from what I've seen (I'm a runner as well), sports bras reinforced by really tight shirts (under a bigger shirt if you feel "exposed") should do the trick.

That's what I was gonna say - Sports bras are great, but they really don't do much if you're wearing a loose shirt. For me, it's more important to let my upper body breathe, so I stick with loose shirts and a good, supportive dress bra...Okay, so I've probably ruined the bra from sweating so much, but it's just a casualty you gotta take.

We could solve the problem a lot easier if we knew, like Brood Mayran said, the size of the problem. How about you send a pic and we can continue further discussion.

j/k

One problem with that suggestion: too much bouncy bounce can hurt. I'm not that heavy on top, but I do know that if they've got too much swing to 'em, they'll start to get sore and uncomfortable. I have to agree with most suggestions here: sports bra seems the way to go. I wouldn't try taping them with ace bandages tho, if only because it seems that would get way too hot and uncomfortable.

Besides, I heard that taping them down too much causes breast cancer or something.

Maybe I should start wearing a bra... I'm fat and I have man-boobs!

Yes, feel my fury!

The number of "replies" to this thread vs the number of "views" is amusing.

Hoping to find something here, guys?

Back to topic here *cough cough* Alot of my female friends who play either wear a sports bra or have developed a technique where their arms cover and cross when they jump and such. Something along the same lines as what Phrekwenci described, despite his sorrow.
