sports bras
here's a dumb question.
I should wear a 26FF - G (it is yet to be determined since I still don't own a well fitting bra) in a regular bra. As you can see by my size I'm a somewhat petite girl with "normal size" boobs, what I mean is the rest of my body is small but my boobs are sort of standard. Now of course there isn't really a standard but I don't think anyone would go "wow, those are some petite boobs!" or "wow those are some big boobs" either. where am I going with this again?
Oh yes, sports bras. I pretty much wear size XS in everything.. and in a regular sports bra that is tight and kind of smushes my boobs into my ribcage and makes them lay as flat as pancakes. is that what a sports bra should do?
If I go up a size to a s then I feel that the elastic band isn't tight enough and I start feeling more like I'm just wearing a tight top.
Now I have quite firm but shallow and wide boobs, so no drooping or extensive jiggling really, so I'm not super bothered by feeling like my boobs will escape and punch someone in the face during a work out session. But I still feel like the XS tops are made for girls with maybe up to a C-D cup, I need help some times from my husband to actually pull the top over my boobs since it doesn't open any where.
I'm guessing there are sports bras that actually take in to account that everyone with a small frame doesn't necessarily have a flat chest.. any recommendations? I can really see how this is an issue for girls with heavy breasts.. should it even be an issue for me? I'm thinking maybe there is a paradigm shift for me to discover here as well, like how I didn't know a bra could actually feel so good before I realized I wasn't a 32 band and that anything under 32 actually existed.
help me out, girls in similar sizes, what do you wear?

The Panache Sport in the black colorways ought to be tight enough for you I think. A lot of people complain that the bra is too projected actually.
Definitely try the Panache sport bra as teremaailma suggests. It is the first sports bra that fits me. I always felt the exact same way you do. Try a variety of band and cup sizes until you find the best fit. I will never pull a bra over my head again! Good luck!
(I am around 28F/FF and find that this size fits in the Panache sport, but I can also go with 30E if I want a little looser band for comfort)
