I love enell but they are made for high impact sports. I'm not sure I would wear them during the day, but they are great bras.

Actually they do have a version for lower impact sports now too. But I wear the high impact version and that is the only bra I wear. I own five of them, each a different color. Most comfortable bra I have ever owned and the support is unbeatable.

If you can find 'em, I really love Lululemon's TaTa Tamer II - I wear a 34DD in that model and man, is it supportive. They cost me about $60 including taxes and have the ability to be either straight up-down straps or racerback. I love wearing them racerback as they give me extra support and it lines up perfect with all my racerback tanks. I wear them for everything - running, karate, general workouts - they're fantastic.

This is my go to bra as well. And every time I'm at Winners I scour the racks for the discontinued LuLulemon "the bust stops here" style. Very similar but with even more bounce control. I am also 34DD and in my TBSH bra I can skip, sprint, and do anything else with zero movement.

the VSX is pretty good, i like it over my new VS Knockout... i loved the adjustable straps idea, but the clip together bit under the zipper in the front pokes into my skin and irritates.

i prefer my tek gear ones to be honest. max support of course

It doesn't TRULY fit--the gore rides off my chest, which means that the cup size is too small--but it's pretty darned close. I think VS runs just a little bit shallow in the cups, anyway.

and THIS lol i had to buy a 36DD. good grief.

It's not advertised as a "sports bra" but I like the Bra Genie a lot.

I've found Nike works the best. I've had the ones I use for years and they still have great shape, are comfy, and incredibly supportive. I prefer the thick straps with the razor back.

If you have slightly-above-average breast size but you have below-average rib size, I vouch for VS Incredible, too. I'm a 32DDD = 34DD = 36D = 38C = 40B in cup volume, which is only slightly above average, but obviously, at 32", I have a small rib size. Finding something with a non-small cup volume and a SMALL band size so I don't fall out of the bottom is my problem.

I've never been a fan of VS bras for just this reason--their cups run small comparatively (and I used to be large-chested). I would highly suggest seeking out a professional bra fitter somewhere that is not VS. Seriously life-changing.

No uniboob, and no "headlights":

I sometimes wear soft cup non-sports bras, ones that have better support, separation, and a nice, non-flattening shape. It's a shock at the gym to see a bustline that isn't mashed against a woman's ribs, though, so people might stare.

They're not so much small as shallow--total absolute volume is the same, just more spread out.

Eh. I should be wearing a 30FF/F or a 32DDD(E)/F, depending on the brand. Been to Intimacy. I just really wanted some cheap bras, and they're SO close to the right size that it works okay. When I hit 125lbs, I'll take a jaunt over to Nordstroms and hope that they have some cute stuff.

Soft-cup ain't happening here except to sleep in.

THey have 36DDDs in some styles, I think!

Oh, and having just finished a 30-day shred in the Invincible...I would NOT choose the medium support except for lifting unless you're QUITE small.

I love the Victoria Secrets bras. They are a little spendy for me, but well worth it.
