Default Help me find spandex tank tops for workouts

I'm desperately in need of new workout clothes, specifically what I call "compression tops" - you know, like a tank top or shirt to go over my sports bra, but with heaps of Spandex to you know, "hold you in". My w/o program requires lots of jumping and I need these for my boobs and stomach! But they're nowhere to be found anymore, even at LadyFootlocker. All I can find is looser stuff that doesn't help! Help!

(If this is in the wrong forum, sorry, didn't know where else to turn)

I really like Lululemon- they are pricey but I rotate 3 of them in and out of lineup for running. They have bras int hem, but I wear them over a sports bra to keep the girls in place (I don't want saggy droopy boobs)

Underarmour compression tops are great too- I have a few for longer races that work just like the pants.

Lululemon is the best. Certainly a bit pricey, but I have been wearing the hell out of the stuff I bought there 4 years ago (3x/week, all year long) and it's still in great shape.

Bonus: the pants aren't see-thru when you bend over like cheap workout leggings.

Thanx guys! I'd run across Lululemon before -but hadn't been to their website till now, and there does look to be a couple of things that might work. Don't mind the price if they last for a while!

To me, there is nothing better than a Nike Long Bra top. These provide the best support all over, IMO. They are my foundation piece for outdoor running and I wear them alone in the gym. I have friends who swear by Lululemon.

I like some underarmour pieces, but prefer Nike long bras for compression tops. You can double up on the bra if you need!

Awesome, now there's a few more options to try. The plain white on the Nike page sounds ideal; it promises to really hold things in place. It also has a solid back - when tanks have nothing but little straps I kind of doubt they have much support. Thanks so much everybody!

Actually, I have a variety of Nike long bras but my preference is for the long SHAPE bras - they have a molded cup that give a really nice shape and I think a bit more support. Good luck!
