Coffee Break: BooBuddy – Corporette.com – Corporette.com

As someone on the bustier side, I had heard of these weird bands for YEARS but resisted buying them until recently. I finally did, and I heartily recommend them — particularly if, like me, you have your “casual exercise bras” that are good for walking or weightlifting or the stationary bike, and then you have your “stiflingly uncomfortable but nothing’s moving” bras for aerobics or running.

(I could also see it great for something you keep in your gym bag at work!)

As I’ve written about before, as far as sports bras go, I love the Enell, Freya, or Panache for running/aerobics — but for a bra to work it has to be crazy tight, which also means that it’s better for those days when I get dressed, immediately work out, and then immediately shower or change into other clothes. Over the past two years, though, I’ve fallen into the habit of rolling out of bed, putting on workout clothes, INTENDING to work out, and then either getting to it mid-afternoon or not at all.

So I primarily wear my kinder, gentler sports bras like Glamorise or Syrokan. But then if I finally do get around to working out and I’m in the mood for an aerobic workout, or if the workout I thought would be low intensity involves things like jumping jacks, then it’s less than ideal from a bra situation. (Here’s a funny New Yorker comic about the bra situation.)

Anyway, the BooBuddy is the perfect compromise. I can wear the comfortable bra up until I work out, and if I choose a higher impact workout or there are a few moves that are higher impact, I can just add the BooBuddy on top of my current bra.

Does it look great? No. Does it work? Yes. And I’m ok with that tradeoff for comfort/flexibility/support.

The BooBuddy is available in seven colors for $25 at Amazon.
