Help: New sports bra needed - boobs chafing during runs

[mswax]

So I've finally started running 3-5 times/week 8 months after DS3 was born.  My boobs are bigger than they have ever been before (36DD+), and I'm still squeezing into my regular sports bras.  Unfortunately, I've been getting some chafing on the underside of my boobs during my longer runs.  Do I need new bras, or do I just need some glide?  If I need new bras, any recommendations?

Signed, the ridiculously busy mom who didn't discover this was a problem until DS3 picked a scab while nursing and got blood everywhere (sorry if that's tmi)

Yes, you need new sports bras!  You want to stop the movement that's causing the chafing, not just lube it up.  

The styles that work for me (34B) would not be good recs for you, but I do like the Moving Comfort brand.

You need new sports bras. Have you been fit for a bra recently?

You need a new sports bra and you need to make sure you're in the right size. Might I suggest the bosom and you thread? pandce.proboards.com/thread/193166/bra-thread-bosom

Thanks, ladies. Since I'm nursing, I've been making do with the nursing bras that are a bit more forgiving in sizing. I should probably suck it up and take some actual measurements. I was measured about 2 years ago, and am roughly the same weight, but after DS3 my boobs are huge, and none of my old (even nursing) bras fit anymore.

I love the moving comfort juno I had the same problem with the chaffing after gaining/loosing the same 10lbs, sometimes, you just need new bras too.
