Sports bra recs

I am not sure if bratabase has suggestions for this purpose, but if anywhere does it's here. (actually this is going to be a 2 part question)

I teach a sport that involves a lot of jumping and moving and being upside down and such, mostly to elementary through high school aged girls. Some of these girls have the stereotypical body type associated with such endeavors (at least for now). Some are well served by the S M L XL generic sports bras.

And then there are the few who clearly should be wearing 'full bust' bras. So I know their chests are hurting after practice. MINE did & I took my sweet time developing.

So
a) is there magic wording for bringing this up with Jr high/high school girls that isn't going to make them feel bad about their bodies? In certain sports boobs are, like, the worst thing evar. They're all very in shape, it's just the shape they are in happens to be curvier than expected! Also for bringing it up with their parents without it being super creepy? I'm not good at magic words & I know that if someone had said anything that sounded at all like "Kallisti's boobs are too big" I would have died on the spot.

b) Actual recommendations for sports bras? This gets tricky because, like, panache & enell? WAY TOO HIGH IN THE NECK to go under our competition uniforms. I have an Anita Active one that works for the activity & probably fits under the uniform (or at least doesn't come up so high) but there might be better options or options that other people like (bc bodies are different). Pros & cons as well would be super appreciated. Most/all of the athletes I am thinking of would be small band/'large' cup.

Thank you so much, knowledge-havers.

  • Wait, is this the question that was just asked a few days ago? Maybe it was on reddit! LOL

  • the first part I vaguely asked on someone elses thread but didnt wanna take it over so I went into more detail & made a new thread asking exactly what I wanna compile.

    I'm not even on reddit, that place scares me.
