    Thanks about this; bookmarked! :smile:

    And, that's the other thing, I prefer zip-fronts too. I really like the one I've had forever, but the brand tag tore off so now I'm trying to think about what to do now that I am exercising in earnest and want more than one. Unfortunately, I need to look for a 48 C of some sort which limits me a lot.

    36DD/E here I like the zip fronts as well but UnderArmour makes a marvelous compression bra. VS has a zip front incredible I like and their knockout series was nice but the straps were not wide enough for me. But any three of these options and they do not move..at all

    I just wear a Bali bra. It's the Woman's Satin Tracings Minimizer Bra. Works great in the gym. No bounce. I'm a 40 G.

    I'm a 32H, and am absolutely in love with the Panache sports bra. It isn't a compression bra, but somehow it keeps everything in place better than any compression bra ever has (even when I was less ridiculously endowed), plus it is super comfortable and doesn't hinder your ability to breathe properly. Herroom.com bra size finder is going to be your friend, since Panache is a UK brand and their sizing runs a little differently than the US, and that will give you a really good conversion based on a bra you already know fits.

    Shock absorber ... Especially if you live in uk where victorias secrets and under amour are a little more expensive

    love, Love, LOVE the Victoria's Secret Knockout Bra. Doubling up is just wrong. If you are doubling up you are in the wrong size.

    You and me both just got the knockout bra today and got free pair of thongs!!!

    Shock Absorber - high impact for me. What I have found though is that I need a bigger band size for running than for my "normal" gym activities. I can get away with a 32F normally but for running I need the 34E as the band does not "give" very much and I found that I was unable to breathe properly.

    I find that with Shock Absorber, the band sizes are made very small. I wear a 30DDD/30E in my normal bras, but I take a 34D in my Shock Absorber sports bra.

    The best bras I have found are the Victoria secret sports bras. They are wonderful for holding everything up. If you don't fit those I would take a trip to Victoria secret and check out the construction and then research others that would be comparable

    Freya sports bras, Moving Comfort, Enell -- all are excellent. Check them out on line then find a place to try on before buying. The UK sizing works really well especially if you have a small band/large cup size.
