Although my 'girls' are not that big, I have been wearing sports bras to work for almost ten years. They're comfortable. When I wear an underwire bra for 12 hours, I'm dying to unsnap it as soon as my shift ends.

I stopped wearing normal bras to work...it's a waste of a good bra to wear it at work. Sports bras for me!

Spots bras or tanks with bras built in. I wouldn't make it 12 hours with an underwire digging at me.

All I wear now is sports bras, mostly T backs or built ins. I can't wear underwire bras anymore because I had a lumpectomy several years ago.

I only wear sports bras to work. Underwire bras make my back hurt after a long shift

Sports bra! Underwire bra is not comfortable at all for that long.

Underwire bras are no longer an option for those of us who have had lumpectomies or mastectomies, and sports bras are a comfortable alternative.

I rock the sports bras. Way more comfortable and they don't create sweat and strap irritation issues like regular bras.

Sports bra, never anything but! I have about a million of the foam bandini by Barely There...I have almost every color and I wear one every day! I like that it's a little padded in case it gets cold, but it's still just as comfortable as a normal sports bra! And they last forever too, which is nice.

I'm a huge fan of ENELL bras for sports bras. I'm a 40F so I gotta make sure they're secure lol!!
