I have a larger chest so I know I can't wear anything but a maximum support/high impact bra even for lighter impact activities like yoga and lifting (need to make sure the girls are locked and loaded). Like with jeans, the best way to know if it fits is to try it before you buy because you could be different sizes with different brands. The bra is not supposed to be suffocating but should feel tight and secure. And yes, it's going to be a pain to get off esp. if you've been sweating like cray. Your girls shouldn't sneak out of the cups when you jump up and down. There should be no side or top spillage. I particularly like the ones with slight padding (it gets chilly in gym sometimes and cups.
My recent fave is the c9 high impact bra from Target. http://www.target.com/p/c9-champion-women-s-high-support-sports-bra-with-molded-cup/-/A-14968996?lnk=Rec|pdp|viewed_viewed|pdpv1

You might like this one too (or any bigger chested ladies)! I can't. Even. Deal. with sport bra wrestling anymore. I have to go with the hook in back. I wonder if there's a tradeoff. I do get SLIGHT jiggle. but I have not found anything that DOESN'T jiggle a little, even with the uniboober deluxes. Champion's C9 does not come in my size (l'm a tiny band, big cup girl), unfortunately. But this one is secure enough to run in if you get the exact right fit. They also make a non-underwire version that I use for yoga/strength, almost as much support (but 2scared2run in). Pricey, but worth it. Looks GOOD under clothes too. I'd wear it under real clothes, it supports without squishing the dear life out of them.

Love this bra! Check all the colors, some are cheaper than others. I think i got mine for around $30. I can't stand wrestling into a pull over bra that doesn't even work all that well. Underwire encapsulation sports bras are the way to go for big busted girls.

It looks so intense.

what do you want it to look like? LOL

lol, I guess it does look pretty different from the pull over compression bras. It goes on like a regular bra and is almost as comfortable. And most importantly, it's super supportive. I wear a36FF. My boobs are heave and um pendlous. They need that support. In this bra, I can run and jump and do whatever I want.

I swear I don't work for the company. I just looked for a good sports bra for a long time and was really frustrated till I found this one.

OK, I looked at the link for the VS bras. If you think 32 is a "small band size," good on you.

In my wimpy little ribcaged dreams, however. LOL, at 32.


I do have the Panache one, I think. That's a bit more in my ballpark, if you go to the minimum band, maximum cup. Stoopid ribs.

Moving Comfort Maia Bra. I wear them every single day to keep the DD girls in place, both for exercise and for everyday wear. Seriously the best bra I've ever found - but unfortunately they are both hard to get and very expensive here in Australia. I can't even do an over the head compression bra - its like I've got nothing on!

If it takes you 10 minutes to wrestle yourself out of it, it fits! :laugh:

This is why I buy zip-front ones. How on earth do people get into and out of normal ones?!

Another one with a large cup size and swinging boobies. I have no idea how I'd wrestle them into an over-the-head job.
