Sizing for Old Navy Padded Sports Bras?

[lillivapid]

Good afternoon.  Lurker here.  I am working on becoming more active this summer, and I am in need of new sports bras.  Has anyone tried Old Navy's padded sports bras?  If so, do you like them and how does sizing run?  Thanks!

i'm a 34D and bought a medium yesterday. took the pads out, i don't need something extra to make me sweat any more than i already do. if i remember, i'll post a report tuesday after my run... a short run around my house and i liked it.

They run VERY small. I wear a small in most shirts, wear a 34B bra and wear size large in these bras. They are my very favorite ones, just the sizing is really off for some reason.

They run pretty small. I'm normally an XS, but I think I had to size up to Small.

I love these because they are cheap (I always buy a few when they go on sale). I need padding because my nipples are always hard, lol.

I am a 30D and I wear a size XS. It's a bit tight when I put it on but comfortable when I start moving.

I think it's the rest of Old Navy sizing that is off.   The XS sports bra is tight on me but XS anything else is too big.  They dont sell padded sports bras in the kid section so I do appreciate that they have left such things less vanity-sized. Similar padded sports bras usually are 2x as much (like at LLL)

Thank you all so much! I really appreciate your help.

I've done 2 runs now with mine and I love it. I took out the pads and it's very comfortable, minimal bounce. The band is a little tight, but I'd much rather have it that way than a little loose. I'm expecting that with a few more uses though it'll stretch just a little more and be 100% fine.

uncharch7- thanks so much for this update.  It sounds like a medium will be my best bet too.  I'm really glad to hear the bra is comfortable and gives support.  I am going to check it out.  Thanks again!
